Planning a wedding in Arizona
Arizona is a winter and spring wedding destination: dry, sunny days in the Sonoran Desert while much of the country is cold. Desert resorts around Scottsdale and Tucson, red-rock settings in Sedona and old ranches give a choice of very different backdrops in one state.
When to marry
October to April is the main season in the low desert around Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson. Summer there is very hot, and the monsoon brings storms from midsummer into early autumn. Sedona and the higher country are milder in summer, with cool evenings in spring and autumn.
Getting guests there
Phoenix Sky Harbor is the main gateway, with direct flights from across the US and some from abroad; Tucson International serves the south. Sedona is reached by road from Phoenix, so plan cars or shuttles. Guests from outside the US should check entry rules early.
Resorts, ranches and red rock
Desert resorts with lawns, pools and mountain views around Scottsdale and Tucson, often in Spanish Colonial or Southwestern style. Guest ranches with corrals and open country, and resorts set among the red rocks of Sedona. Many venues can host the whole weekend, with rooms for guests.
The legal side
Couples obtain a marriage licence from the clerk of the Superior Court in any Arizona county, and it can be used anywhere in the state. Out-of-state and foreign couples can generally marry there. Check the current requirements with the county clerk.

What kinds of venues are listed in Arizona?
15 hotels, 2 event spaces, and 1 winery.
How are these venues chosen and ordered?
By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.
Can you get married in Arizona if you don’t live there?
Yes. Out-of-state and foreign couples can generally marry in Arizona with a licence from the clerk of the Superior Court in any county, valid throughout the state. Check the current requirements with the clerk before you travel.
What is the best time of year for a wedding in Arizona?
From October to April in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Tucson, when days are dry and warm. Summer is very hot in the low desert. Sedona is a better choice for late spring and early autumn, with cooler evenings.
Scottsdale or Sedona for a wedding?
Scottsdale has the widest choice of resorts and is close to Phoenix Sky Harbor, which makes it easy for guests. Sedona offers red-rock scenery and a quieter, more remote feel, but guests need to drive up from Phoenix.
