From my outreach to Sky Ranch Lodge all the way to my wedding day was amazing. Great service and they were a breeze to work with. I’m from Kentucky and eloped to Sky Ranch they made planning so easy even over 1,000 miles away. The views are spectacular and I don’t think you will get those type of views anywhere else. Breathtaking! I loved our wedding coordinators and the whole Sky Ranch team. Thank you!

To start: WE LOVE SKY RANCH LODGE!! GET MARRIED HERE!!
My husband and I got married at SRL in April 2023 with 60 guests in attendance. We visited Sedona in January 2022 to go venue hunting and saw SRL as well as a few other venues in Sedona, and nothing could compare to SRL. The obvious selling point, the stunning unobstructed view is what really hooked us. It was magic. We booked with them later that same day. We opted for the “Dream” package in which we worked directly with a wedding coordinator/planner at SRL and they pretty much helped us plan our wedding from beginning to end including executing contracts and payments with all the related vendors. This was HUGE for us since we live in NJ and could not easily go out there and be familiar with the vendors. We had monthly Zoom calls with our coordinator (Shannon Jennings) which was amazing. Shannon was ontop of everything and had notes on anything I mentioned I wanted included in our day. She handled everything, including coordinating everything the day of. Throughout the year leading up to our wedding, we were able to get tons of stuff shipped to SRL in preparation for the wedding. They stored our items in a designated place that was temperature controlled. We can’t appreciate that enough! Also, between the time we booked SRL and our wedding day, they installed a gorgeous pavilion that replaced their prior outdoor tent for the reception space. It really was a tremendous addition to the venue and pulled everything together. The day of our wedding was also a little bit chilly so being able to close the walls/doors on the pavilion was great. Also, we were able to use their inventory of décor items which was so nice and helpful!! That was a huge selling point for us too.
The only cons I had about our days are not deal breakers, but I hope they will read this and consider changing for the future:
1. The “room block” we receive as part of the package did not truly offer any kind of discounted rate for our guests that wanted to use the block. The guests could have booked the rooms as a normal guest and would have received the same rate, so there was no benefit in using the “block” besides grouping the rooms near each other (which didn’t really help since a majority of the guests didn’t know each other).
2. The bridal suite is only included for free on the night of the wedding. That is indeed very generous and helpful, but if you are getting ready with your bridesmaids early the day of (which most brides do), you will need to book the room the night before as well since check-in is in the late afternoon. I think the venue should offer the room as a complimentary gesture in order to cover the night before and the night of so that the wedding party can properly make use of the room.
3. The wait staff took people’s food from the table a little bit early. Some people wish they had a chance to finish the amazing food from Villaggio!
4. The staff didn’t put any dessert down on our sweetheart table. Some of my bridesmaids made sure to get us a few things before they ran out and leave it on our table. Obviously as bride and groom, it’s hard to find a minute to grab desserts so if the staff could have done it, it would be have really helpful.
5. I also would encourage the bridal suite/room to have a hook to hang the dress 😊 I ended up hanging it off the shower head since there wasn’t any designated hook high enough off the floor.
Overall, I would get married at SRL a million times over. We had the absolute best day and experience from A to Z. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM!!!!

My husband and I decided to get married in Sedona due to the magnificence of the red rocks and the magical energy. We were so excited to get married that we had a 4 month engagement, which meant that our vendors had 4 months to get ready for our wedding. In choosing a location, we spoke with several other locations and ultimately decided to go with Sky Ranch Lodge for the spectacular views and the lodging options. This was the best decision we ever made. The staff was friendly, the wedding team answered my questions AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY! Everyone knew you by name and was eager to help with any questions you had. Shannon was our wedding coordinator and made sure no detail was left out. We had 4 Zoom meetings with her where we reviewed color schemes, vendors, timelines, etc. Thomas (the manager) called us personally to review the room block options. No matter who I spoke with, they were always friendly and courteous.

You will be able to feel the magic when you get to the lodge. We stayed in a botanical garden room and a rim view room, both of which were cozy and clean. There were fresh baked cookies every morning and hot coffee in the lobby. The refillable water station made it easy for me to stay hydrated. The warm pool had the kids occupied.

On the wedding day, Shannon was there with her team making sure we were on time. It was so beautiful, words cannot describe, and pictures do not do it justice. Thank you to the entire Sky Ranch Team for making our stay magical and unforgettable. We will be coming back!
