We chose L'Auberge for our wedding in Sedona and could not be happier with everything. The hotel is first class. Beautiful, well maintained, service is superb, and the catering team (Katie Cowan) were amazing. The view of the Red Rocks were stunning. Our wedding reception and dinner were perfect. I would highly recommend L'Auberge for your wedding if you are thinking Sedona.

L’ Auberge is a beautiful place to stay. Great team of people to work with, even through this pandemic. I know everyone was busy with working and on top of that making sure everything was safe during this pandemic. Katie, Kayla, Ryan, Beto.. thank you! Thank you Ryan for your help with setting things up and running back and forth to my room because I forgot something.. haha. Beto, the banquet captain was so kind and organized. The food was fantastic! Extremely talented chef and baker! It started to rain briefly at the beginning of the ceremony, and the team quickly covered things up and handed out umbrellas. Luckily we didn’t need them for very long. Myself and our friends/family loved the set up and kind staff. There still talking about what a beautiful place/wedding it was. Thank you!

Sedona is one of the most spectacular places in the world to get married in, and L'Auberge is the most incredible wedding venue in Sedona, bar none. L'Auberge combines the sweeping vistas of the red rocks with the lush greenery along the babbling Oak Creek, and tops it all off with a level of professional service and culinary expertise that is unparalleled.

When our daughter and son-in-law decided on Sedona as the location for their wedding, my husband and I flew out with our daughter to spend a week in Sedona searching for the right venue. We toured every popular wedding venue in the area. When we arrived at L'Auberge, we knew within minutes we had found a place that was special. We walked out onto Spirit Song Terrace, which must be experienced in person to be fully appreciate the intimacy of the grassy lawn and observation deck in combination with the extraordinary views of the famous red rocks. We traveled from the terrace down the stone steps to the Monet Ballroom and another beautiful green lawn with red rock views. Then we toured the impeccably maintained hotel grounds, walked through the fabulous Creek House (stay there if you can!!), and took in the sights and sounds under the shady Sycamore trees alongside Oak Creek.

When we met with Katie Cowan, the Catering and Event Manager, she impressed us immediately with her level of attention to detail, and her willingness to work with us (we ended up being L'Auberge's first full vegan wedding). Katie is a gem, with a rock solid personality, and is the PERFECT person you want to be with you on a day when there is so much happening, and so many details to pull together. Little did we know, Katie would become our calm in the center of the storm that would be the day of our daughter's wedding (details to follow:).

During the months leading up to the wedding, the staff at L'Auberge worked with us throughout the planning process. Katie was always responsive to emails, and available by phone when needed. We elected to go out for a food tasting, and were impressed with Chef Randy's responsiveness and determination to create vegan entree options that were delicious, colorful, and artfully presented.

Our daughter's wedding was a weekend, family-only event, with 35 guests. One of the great aspects of a L'Auberge wedding is the different levels of lodging available - some of our guests decided to stay at Orchards Inn, a great option just up the hill and right in the center of downtown. Our immediate family stayed in the Creek House, which is another memory that will always be treasured. If you can stay there, STAY!! It is exquisitely appointed. Each of the guest rooms have phenomenal bathrooms, lighting, linens, TV's, and ambience. It was wonderful to share the connection of the common space with the huge concrete table, 90" TV, great bar, floor-to-ceiling windows, and outdoor decks to take in the magic of Oak Creek. We had the welcome dinner and reception outdoors at the Creek House, which was magical. The staff at L'Auberge, in particular Lisa and Beto, provided impeccable and personal service. Guests' drinks were always refreshed. The buffet was carefully attended. Plates were cleared promptly. Lisa frequently checked in with us to ask if there was anything needed.

We're all SO thankful we decided to have the welcome dinner on the flagstone patio, which is where we had originally planned the wedding reception dinner. Because Mother Nature had a different plan in mind for the wedding day, then the typical mid June weather. Sedona had not received any rain in the three months preceding that weekend, but on our daughter's wedding day, a tropical storm came through (and we are from Florida, so there was much irony in this:).

Weather is always one of the sources of anxiety for an outdoor wedding, and I cannot say or thank Katie enough for how she carried herself -- and us -- through the wedding to make it even more magical, with and without the rain. She brainstormed last-minute ideas with us for a tent on the flagstone patio outside the Creek House. She walked us through options for moving the reception dinner inside, at both the Creek House and the Monet Ballroom. She let us wait until the last minute possible to judge the forecast before making a decision.

What I realize now, looking back, is that L'Auberge is well-equipped to handle changes due to weather. It's all part of their skill set and careful attention to detail. For the ceremony, the wedding party and guests who needed it were given beautiful transparent bubble umbrellas that kept them dry and allowed everyone unobstructed views (everyone planning an outdoor wedding should think of this!). Another indelible memory we will carry forward, and family still talks about, is how frequently they saw Lisa and her staff wiping raindrops off guest chairs as guests made their way up to Spirit Song Terrace for the ceremony.

Katie was an oasis of calm for our daughter, son-in-law and us all in managing the wedding day changes brought by the weather. She kept everyone positive, was in control of every detail, and for me (the one who usually fills that role), as the mother of the bride I was SO thankful to abdicate that responsibility and just be present to enjoy each moment of my daughter's special day. So when Katie turned to us, with the ever-present weather radar on her phone, and said it's time for the ceremony NOW, off we went, no questions asked. And sure enough, it literally stopped raining as we began walking our daughter down the aisle. So many special memories on that day!

In the end, it was a great move to have the reception dinner in the Monet Ballroom. We loved the transformation created there with specialized lighting, candles, and a wood-burning fireplace . . . more magic! The staff again outdid themselves with personalized service throughout each dinner course, which was delicious and exquisitely presented. Can't say enough about the culinary skills of Chef Randy and L'Auberge's catering staff! Every part of the wedding reception in the ballroom was perfect and the dance floor ended up being the epicenter of the evening, which would not have happened without the rain and change of plans:)

L'Auberge simply has it all for anyone planning a wedding in the red rocks of Sedona. It is a world class venue, in one one of the most visually stunning places on the planet, with genuinely caring staff that deliver personalized, professional service on EVERY level. If you're planning a wedding in Sedona, they will make it happen for you, too. ALL the yeses, and a heart full of thanks to L'Auberge for a wedding memory of a lifetime!!
