TLAQUEPAQUE / HEART AND SOUL OF SEDONA WEDDINGS

Wendy Lippman • Jun 05, 2017

I can’t take credit for this AMAZING blog post which I “borrowed” from our good friends at the Sedona Wedding Studio who posted it on their blog today – A HUGE thank you from all of us at Tlaquepaque to the Sedona Wedding Studio !!! Be sure to check out their new Sedona Wedding Services Facebook page too along with all the other great wedding vendors mentioned here!

It seems like everywhere one turns, there is something said or written about Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village , the beloved heart-and-soul of Sedona. While Tlaquepaque has a variety of events that regularly happen within her old-world Mexican walls, there is nothing quite like the popularity of weddings. Attribute it to the romance, the architecture, the chapel, the landscaping, charm, singularity… whatever… there is something for everyone at Tlaquepaque, and that “something” attracts brides by the hundreds to have their special wedding day at Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village.


Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village offers Sedona’s only wedding Chapel. Here we see a lovely image by Sedona Bride Photography that graces the cover of Arizona Finest Wedding Sites and Services Magazine. Featured is a rose petal carpet and candle display designed by Events By Show Stoppers and Nectar Design , Tlaquepaque’s in-house floral providers.


As evening approaches, the richness of the Tlaquepaque Chapel becomes ever-more inviting as the sky moves into the “blue” hour. Many photographers consider this as their favorite time of day to shoot. We can certainly see why Sedona Bride Photographers love to shoot during this time.


Candlelight is a must. Just imagine exchanging your special wedding vows within this romantic glow that embraces everyone present. There is no other place like it. For booking information, call Tlaquepaque wedding and event specialist, Adam Lovejoy, at 928-282-4838 .


Around every corner of this exquisite property lies a photo-op, just waiting for brides to get into the moment.


Tlaquepaque is about color. The possibilities are endless. The exceptionally talented members of the Sedona Wedding Studio can make your vision become a reality. Just visit our vendor links at the top left of this page, contact the vendors of your choice and find everything you need!


The creativity of Sedona Bride Photography knows no bounds. This captivating shot, coordinated by the talented Laura Marolakos, of Heart of Sedona Weddings , was cleverly set against an old-growth ivy-covered wall. These walls are literally everywhere on the property, growing there since 1973. Hair and make-up is by Patricia Vega, Le Petite Spa de Sedona.


We love this colorful ribbon-covered tree that is just outside the Chapel.


Reverend Andrew Murphy, Heart of Sedona Weddings , officiates in front of the famous Patio Del Norte fountain that is regularly decorated by Events By Show Stoppers.


This sparkling table setting was coordinated by Laura Marolakos, Heart of Sedona Weddings , with flowers by Events By Show Stoppers. Old bottles, paper doilies and assorted candles finished the look that was celebrated with a romantic kiss.

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
