MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WEDDINGS AT TLAQUEPAQUE

Wendy Lippman • Jun 03, 2017

In spite of scattered thunderstorms in Sedona over the Memorial Day Weekend, Tlaquepaque hosted four successful weddings. We also had a number of bridal couples taking photographs throughout the village – there was a bride in every courtyard!

Jennifer Merril and Jamal Fagan held their wedding ceremony in the Tlaquepaque Chapel. The event was planned by Karen Lynn, Sedona Wedding Planner. The ceremony was followed by their intimate reception on the Patio de las Campanas. The floral was arranged by Events by Showstoppers and they were lovely. Catering was done by Cucina Rustica and the cake was provided by Sedona Cake Couture. Photography was provided by Cameron Clark and Jamelle Kelly. In spite of the wet weather, a good time was enjoyed by all.

Elizabeth Morgan and Jason McGarraugh from the great state of Texas planned on having an intimate outdoor ceremony on the Terrace at Patio del Norte. Due to the rain we experienced in the late afternoon, the ceremony was held in the Tlaquepaque Ballroom, La Sala de los Milagros. We were happy that the ceremony went off as planned. Bliss Extraordinary Floral created a lovely archway adorned by beautiful flowers and greenery.

The ceremony was performed by Andrew Murphy with Heart of Sedona Weddings and photography was provided by Michael David with Taltos Productions. Following the ceremony, the wedding party went to Savannahs where an amazing cake created by Sedona Sweet Arts was enjoyed by all.

Later in the evening, Katie Sawyer and Matthew Kingman experienced the Tlaquepaque Chapel for their wedding ceremony. The skies were lovely as the weather began to clear at the start of their ceremony. Pamela Duffy enjoyed Katie and Matthew and their sweet family and followed them throughout the evening for photographs. It was the perfect end to a wonderful wedding day at Tlaquepaque.

Sunday, we were so happy to host the wedding ceremony and reception of Andrea Buteau and Giuseppe Medlin.

Following the chapel ceremony, the bridal party and guests proceeded to the Patio de las Campanas for their wedding reception. Food was provided by Los Abrigados Resort and Spa. The delicious chocolate cake adorned by handmade sugar flowers created by Donna Joy of Sedona Sweet Arts was the centerpiece of the evening.

We are so happy that our weddings went well over the Memorial Day Weekend. We already have a wedding booked for next year’s holiday weekend. Congratulations to all our brides and grooms!

Events at Tlaquepaque are made all the more memorable by the event planning and food the guests enjoy. Whether attending an engagement party or wedding, the beauty of Tlaquepaque’s architecture and grounds is enhanced when the guest’s culinary experience is as artful and delightful as the surroundings. Here are a couple of our exclusive vendors who make that possible.

Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village has provided the perfect setting for south of the border fiestas, festivals, and cultural extravaganzas for the last four decades. Unfortunately, this year we are dealing with the unprecedented COVID pandemic and must pause our highly attended Day of the Dead celebration. There's good news though! Our annual Marigold Mural project is back this year with a NEW SAFE AND EXCITING FORMAT. Join us on Wednesday, November 4 through Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Calle Independencia. This project is unique to Tlaquepaque and an artful way to remember your loved ones. The artist Lovejoy will be in attendance again this year, handing out markers as she guides and answers questions regarding the mural and your contributions. Face masks and sanitizer will also be available for those who need them.

The Micro-Wedding Plan a bite-sized version of a traditional wedding and celebrate with 50 or fewer of your closest friends and family. Usually, a shorter timeline (3 hours instead of 5), these intimate events still include a ceremony and celebration with flowers, cake, music, and more, and can be designed to your liking. Bonuses: More time to spend with each of your guests A more affordable solution or an opportunity to allocate money to the things you care about the most (you no longer have 150 people coming, so you can spend more money on your dress!) Less to plan and manage which can mean less stress For the eco-conscious, a smaller carbon footprint
