You can choose from their Grand Canyon, Valley of Fire, or Sunset Brilliance packages. This is an excerpt from the description of the Desert Dreams Grand Canyon Wedding Package:

“Keep an eye out for the desert wildlife and prepare yourself for a breathtaking flight into the Grand Canyon, where you will descend 3,500 feet below the rim to an exclusive landing spot where your ceremony will take place. Your ceremony, incredible photo and video opportunities, upgraded hors d’oeuvres, wedding cake and a champagne toast are part of the wedding festivities. While flying back through the Grand Canyon, you will observe the stunning red rock formations of the Bowl of Fire and Wild Pinto Wash.”

In other words, Maverick, with a little help from Mother Nature, provides nothing short of an amazing wedding day experience. And with their wedding planners, you can sit back and enjoy the ride! They offer an in house wedding coordinator to help plan and assist you along the way (live chat option, email and call). Want a special something for your wedding? Their wedding coordinator is on it.

In all of their platinum destination, landing and ceremony packages you get a private aircraft and landing site, a minister, photographer (100 photos on CD and DVD of ceremony), limousine transportation, 6 rose bouquet, boutonniere, wedding cake, champagne, hors d’oeuvres and beverages. They also have gold and silver packages to accommodate a variety of budgets and needs.

From the Bride:
I wanted it to be sweet and stress free, but filled with giddiness and excitement.  We weren’t to see each other until the moment I walked down the “aisle” and wanted us to fall in love all over again when we laid eyes on each other.  That happened ; ) My friends and I picked out a song (that Bobby has always said reminds him of me – ‘She is my Everything’ by John Prine) and played it on a laptop without him having any idea.  My friend Beth said she wanted to see Bobby cry a bit when that came on, and I think he just might had. Our dear friend performed the ceremony, in which he became ordained to do, and did it with such grace.  It was everything I wanted, filled with friendship and love and in the most beautiful place to Bobby and I. And after the ceremony it was perfect and as we had envisioned. We went back to the lodge, Boulder Mountain Lodge, and had a beautiful dinner, surprised with a bottle of champagne called in by our friends in Tennessee (where we live) and a cake as another surprise by our families. We stayed up until about 1 in the morning in one of the rooms dancing and celebrating and having the best time! The following morning everyone hiked to Calf Creek Falls, on a perfect day.

More Details:
I wanted something that strayed away from the “traditional” bridal gown and I knew I wanted to wear boots! I adore fashion and the one thing I had always imagined was sheer bell sleeves. I just thought, Free People is entirely my style, western bohemian so I looked there.  Sure enough, that dress was mine and ordered within minutes of seeing it! Bobb  wore dark gray Dickies pants, Vans skate shoes and a button up J Crew oxford.  He looked so handsome! His boutonniere was made from a bmx tire as well- perfect for him. I have to say that I love my custom made tire garter.  Bobby is a third generation tire store owner, not to mention ex-pro BMX rider, so that was beyond awesome!

Floral:
I am actually not a flowery kind of girl, but was so excited about the backdrop of the ceremony and second spot at the trailhead of Calf Creek Falls where we climbed around rocks and took additional pictures. In my mind, the backdrop was all that we needed. However, my sister in law, Jill made it even more special creating our bouquets and the guys’ great boutonnieres.  She even placed flowers, succulents and pops of color (via paint chips) along the aisle as extra décor.  That made me so happy and I cannot lie, I was quite excited about seeing that.

Advice to Future Brides:
Do whatever your heart desires.  People want to get involved and though it is so sweet, it can lead your vision astray.  I wore lace up boots and love that decision! Your wedding day should revolve around you and be as stress free as possible.  It should be one that you think about and immediately smile, so the more positive you can make it, and that means following your heart, then the better!
