Exceeded all my expectations, over the top amazing.

Lena Turner is absolutely amazing to work with. She helped me plan my sons groom dinner, with a welcome party for our wedding guests to follow.
I am from International Falls, Minnesota, my son and his fiancé , now wife, lives in Marana Az and had chosen Sedona to get married. With never have been to the Amara Resort, everything had to
be planned over the phone. I have to say that I literally chose this Venu because of Lena Turner. She throughly understood everything that I was trying to achieve for the grooms dinner and she was completely transparent about everything. I had put my whole hearted trust in her and she did not disappoint me in anyway. Because of the COVID restrictions the wedding had been canceled and rescheduled 3 times. We started with a June date, then August and was finally able to have it in October. Lena stuck with me the entire time encouraging me that everything will workout. We had so many changes from menu changes to guest changes and Lena was so supportive through it all. I truly felt I had a best friend helping me through everything. The night of the dinner was no different, when we walked into the Meditation Room it was absolutely beautiful. Lena and her staff was attentive to every little detail. We again had some bumps as far some guest were unable to be there on time because of airline cancellations and changes. Again The staff was amazing as far as making sure our guests were taken care and served their dinner way after we all had our dinner. Speaking of dinner the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.... everyone was still talking about it the next day. It definitely was a decadent gourmet meal from the appetizers we had during our cocktail hour to our dessert. Completely blew everyone away!
There were behind the scene things that Lena and her staff took care that made our evening absolutely perfect. They created a beautiful evening for the Bride and Groom and everyone included. Everything and everyone had exceeded my expectations. I can not thank everyone at The Amara Resort enough our experience was absolutely PERFECT!!

Wedding 5/17/21

We were planning our wedding in the middle of Covid. Lena our wedding coordinator was amazing to work with. We had originally wanted to do an elopement style wedding and kept changing our minds and she was so accommodating and ended up helping us create a wedding that was perfect for us. She was always there and available to answer any questions we had. You’d never know she was working on a million other weddings at the same time and was so attentive that we felt like we were the only wedding she had. Everything was so well organized and perfect. The whole day went without a single problem. They really know how to put on a great wedding. All of the staff was so nice and professional. The food was amazing and the venue obviously couldn’t be more beautiful. They even let our dog walk down the aisle at the ceremony. Lena even printed menus at the last minute that matched our name cards for the tables perfectly. If you want a wedding planning experience that is not stressful at all and everything turns out perfect this is the place to go! We can’t thank the Amara enough for everything they did!

Amara offered great scenery, relaxing places throughout the property, excellent food and superb service. We are very pleased that we chose to go through them and wouldn't have had the wedding we did if it weren't for the staff at the resort.

April (their coordinator) was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we had issues with other vendors. She worked very well with us and kept our budget in mind the entire time.

Excellent food choices were offered for the menu at our wedding. I was pleased to see that they offered a variety of options (plated, buffet, etc.) and they were also willing to make a custom menu to fit exactly what our budget allowed. The kitchen is also open to suggestions for any changes that you would like to make. They are very accommodating at Amara and we had a very pleasant experience with them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
