If you are sticking around Arizona for a little longer, we highly recommend taking a trip to Sedona or the Grand Canyon! Approximately a 2-hour drive from Scottsdale, Sedona is renowned for its red rock formations and spiritual vortex sites. Activities include hiking, visiting art galleries, and wine tasting in nearby Verde Valley.

Just 3.5 to 4 hours from Scottsdale, the Grand Canyon South Rim is one of the most iconic natural wonders in the world—and it’s worth the drive if you have extra time during the wedding weekend.
