Eloping in Arizona

AZ Elopement packages you'll love!

 Popular places in Arizona to elope include:

• Sedona
• Phoenix
• Tucson

Just remember that in the summer, Tucson and Phoenix can get very hot. Even Sedona can heat up quite a bit. But, if you want to save money on honeymoon arrangements, summer is the time you can get great deals on resorts in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tucson. Summer is still a popular time in Sedona, so you won't find the resort deals you'd find in the hotter desert communities.

Sedona

Sedona is unlike any place you'll ever experience. Located two hours north of Phoenix and two hours south of the Grand Canyon, Sedona is a red rock paradise, much sought after by people seeking outdoor adventure as well as spiritual retreat. Sedona attracts art lovers drawn to the numerous art galleries, hikers who seek to hike the red rocks, and those wishing to be pampered in one of the many world class spas. And, oh yes, Sedona is believed to be the location of spiritual vortexes, where spiritual energy is especially strong.

Poetic Beginnings is a wedding officiant business which specializes in wedding ceremonies, commitment ceremonies and renewal of vows, with their "Just the Two of us" wedding packages one of their most popular services. Two very low-priced elopement ceremony packages are the Gold Star Service Officiant Only Package with a wedding at a Phoenix location of your choice, and the Theme Wedding Ceremony with costume, which is what it sounds like - a wedding based on a theme, whether it's an old west theme or poolside dressed in swim clothes. The officiant will arrive in theme clothing to match the theme.

If you want a more elaborate ceremony, you can always opt for the "Just the Two of Us Platinum Plus Package" which includes 1-hour of life coaching, handwriting analysis for the bride and groom, VIP transportation services and an overnight stay at one of Arizona's fine resorts.

Tucson

Tucson is a couple hours drive south of Phoenix, but still a desert community. It's slightly cooler in Tucson than in Phoenix during the summer, though that's not saying much. It's still hot. But, the desert beauty still makes for a lovely setting for a wedding.
