Sedona Elopements for all ages

That sweet call . . .

I’ll always remember answering the phone that day to the sweetest southern lilt “Do you marry old people?” she asked with a giggle. “Indeed we do!” I answered. “Well,” she replied, “my fiancee would like to be married before he turns 80, so we are in a bit of a rush.”

I was so glad she had reached out. “Eloping” has a different connotation than when I was growing up. Back then it meant a secretive (and often shameful) ceremony, usually for the young, or for people fleeing a disapproving family. Now, however, a Sedona elopement is a perfectly acceptable option for couples of any age just looking to keep it simple.

Age is not a factor . . .

As far as things to consider, no matter your age we are going to ask the same questions: do you want an indoor or outdoor Sedona wedding ceremony, and, if outdoors, do you want an easy/gentle access or is some hiking ok. For our charming couple from Arkansas, hiking was just fine, and we all did the little walk to the Bell Rock overlook, enjoying the Spring flowers as chatted. They kept things very simple - just themselves and the groom’s sister.
