The Main Lawn at Orchard Canyon
The main lawn can also be utilized as a reception space if you decide to use The Orchard as your ceremony location. In the event of the wedding shown below – they set up a long arched reception table to host their guests. With the help of Cloth & Flame, the tables and culinary experience were taken care of.
The Orchard
The secondary location for either ceremony or reception is in The Orchard lawn space. This location is the show stopper to wow your guests. Not only is it placed directly within the apple orchard, you will have the Sedona mountain range as the backdrop. Although it is not the full red of the Sedona red rocks – you can see bits and pieces of that beautiful stone popping through the green trees and rocks.
Or again, transform The Orchard into a reception space up against the mountain side.
Bridal Portraits at Orchard Canyon on Oak Creek
Honestly, there is not a bad place at this venue to take a photo. Both of these weddings took place during fall so we had some GORGEOUS fall foliage to add extra love to the photos. The cabins themselves make a great backdrop for photos of bridal party or just within the green + trees. Don’t forget about the little bridge tucked up between 2 cabins as well to end your bridal photos.
