When Tara and Brandi decided to elope, they wanted an intimate, stress-free experience that truly reflected their love for each other and their shared passion for the outdoors. An Airbnb elopement in Sedona, AZ, proved to be the perfect choice!
Getting Ready at the Airbnb
The couple started their four-hour elopement journey in March at a cozy vacation rental. A local HMU artist helped them get their hair and makeup done, and they took some time to write their vows together. You could feel the love and excitement in the room, as they prepared for their elopement hike and ceremony!
Hiking the Trails in Sedona
Tara and Brandi decided to hike the trails in comfy hiking attire. Together we headed to the Little Horse Trail, a picturesque trail leading to the stunning Chicken Point Overlook. A little tip for future elopers: you can always change into your elopement attire after arriving at your ceremony spot if you prefer not to hike in your wedding clothes!
The Elopement Ceremony at the Chicken Point Overlook
Once they reached Chicken Point Overlook, Tara and Brandi changed into their elopement attire. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Sedona, they read the vows they had written earlier and it was so sweet to get to witness it.
March in Sedona is considered off-season, so the whole experience was beautiful, peaceful, and not too crowded, especially for an evening elopement and ceremony after the jeep tours had wrapped up for the day.
Tara & Brandi
Tara and Brandi’s love for each other was evident in every moment of their elopement. They know how to have fun and don’t take themselves too seriously, which made their day even more special. After the ceremony, they announced to everyone they met on the trail and at dinner afterward that they JUST GOT ELOPED! Seriously, they are so cute together!
Why an Airbnb Elopement?
When you choose to have an Airbnb elopement, you get to have plenty of comfort and privacy. For Tara and Brandi, it provided a relaxed environment to prepare for their big day and a beautiful home base for their Sedona adventure.
An Airbnb can easily replace a costly venue, giving you the freedom to select a location that feels more like a vacation. It’s also a great option to have as a backup in case of bad weather, ensuring you still have a lovely setting for your ceremony and any celebration.
Speaking of celebration, depending on what you’d like for your elopement experience, you could find places that offer hot tubs, saunas, and other add-ons, as well as extra rooms if you’d like to bring a few guests with you!
Depending on the property, you might get access to a more secluded spot, even during the busier season. It’s a good choice for total privacy and if you don’t actually want to do much hiking in the first place!
