Lindsay and Jeremy’s micro wedding in Sedona was absolute perfection! They invited their immediate family to join them in the red rocks for their ceremony before they headed off for a sunset hiking adventure. We loved how their day was the best blend of creating memories with loved ones as well as intimate time with each other taking in the epic landscape of Sedona! We had the best time being able to help plan and document their day! 

What is a micro wedding? 

Every wedding professional has a different definition of micro wedding. For us here at Wilder West we consider anything below 30 people a micro wedding! We use the terms elopements and micro weddings interchangeably. For us, the biggest difference is that elopements don’t have set venues while micro weddings may have one! 

You may love having a micro weddings if…

• You want to focus on quality time with your guests as well as be in a beautiful location 
• You want to have a good back up plan in case of bad weather 
• You want your own private space instead of only a public outdoor space 
• You want to have the best of both worlds of an elopement plus an intimate wedding group 
• You value taking your time to just *be* and not have a strict schedule

Do you need a venue for a micro wedding? 

Some locations may require that you have a venue to accommodate your guests for your micro wedding. Some wedding venues offer packages specifically for smaller micro weddings. We’ve seen more couples use a private residence or VRBO to host their small weddings!

Sedona Micro Weddings

In Sedona you can have up to 25 people on a trail without a specific permit (as of 2025).   It can be difficult to find a spot on a trail that can accommodate larger groups while also respecting leave no trace principles. 

Pro Elopement Planning Tip: 

We help give specific location recommendations based on your guest’s specific needs! We know of a handful of locations that work well with larger groups (still must be below 25 guests). 

Some couples love to book an estate or private residence to host their microwedding if they want more accessibility or accommodations such as parking and bathrooms. It’s also a great option to be able to host your wedding dinner and reception instead of going to a restaurant.

Pro Elopement Planning Tip: 

Most restaurants in Sedona do not allow for larger group reservations without booking a private room. My exclusive Guide to Sedona tells my couples which restaurants allow for larger groups!

Here are some of our favorite private residences in Sedona to host your micro weddings:

• The Elysian Retreat
• Eagle Dancer
• Rancho Los Lagos
• Grand Chapel Estate

Ideas for your Micro Wedding

• Have your ceremony on public lands (if your group size permits) and then come back to have a private chef dinner 
• Host your ceremony at the private residence if you want to have an elaborate arch set up
• Invite your closest friends and family to all stay at an estate for a whole weekend
• Host a welcome dinner the night before your wedding 
• Have a mini reception- toasts, dancing, and games!

Spring Weddings in Sedona 

Spring is one of the best times to get married in Sedona! March is the biggest toss up when it comes to weather so be prepared for possible rain, snow, or cooler temperatures if you pick that month. It is also the busiest for traffic due to spring break season! 

April and May are the BEST in Sedona! You can expect the weather to range from the mid 60s to the 80s. May is wildflower season and the least busiest of the months so it’s my personal favorite for spring elopements and weddings. Be prepared for possible windy days and make sure you allot time to enjoy the sunset.
