Featured Sedona Wedding Venue: Tlaquepaque
“The Heart and Soul of Sedona”
Tlaquepaque has to be one of the most charming venues in all of Arizona much less Sedona. It is one of Show Stopper’s favorites for weddings and events. Many brides choose Tlaquepaque as the location for their Sedona wedding because of the lovely Chapel and the courtyards where beautiful weddings and receptions take place.
Huge sycamore trees surround Tlaquepaque and provide cool peaceful shade while shoppers stroll through the stylish shops and restaurants. The architecture is reminiscent of an old world village in Mexico. All the courtyards have lovely fountains with the centerpiece being the grand fountain in Patio Del Norte.
The huge fountain is a Show Stopper favorite every Thanksgiving and Christmas when we fill it with lavish seasonal floral displays. Here we have used gourds, pumpkins. red pyracantha berries, fruited persimmon branches, sunflowers, marigolds, chrysanthemums, squash, cattails and hops. When finished, we turn on the water and let it spill through the display. Click the photo to see more detail.
Tlaquepaque at Christmas is one of the best times of the year to visit. We love to decorate the Chapel’s arched entry and try something new each year. It is a big bonus for the December bride who chooses Tlaquepaque for her Sedona wedding.
Last year in 2007, Show Stoppers designed the Chapel arch with granny smith apples, lemons, giant sugar cones, lichen covered branches, gourds, fir boughs and copper ribbon. One of the best things about installing Tlaquepaque decorations is the audience that gathers around and watches us work. Be sure to click on the photo to enlarge the details.
In 2006, we decorated the chapel with stark white winter branches, red apples, giant sugar cones and blue spruce.
Evening wedding receptions at Tlaquepaque are magical. Guests are always thrilled with the ambiance and brides never forget their really special wedding that would not have been the same at any other venue.
You can see why Sedona brides line up to reserve this gorgeous property. Its about the ambiance and romantic settings that cannot be found anywhere else.
