 Sedona
is Home to Genuine Native American Wedding Ceremonies in the
Renowned Red Rock Landscape
(Sedona, Arizona) - Sedona's distinctive red rock landscape
and spiritual mystique attracts many wedding parties from throughout
the world. Once in the perfect location, some newlyweds go a step
further to create memorable nuptials and choose The Shaman's
Blessing wedding ceremony as a unique take on a time-honored
tradition.
Offered by a leading Sedona wedding planning and consulting firm,
Weddings in Sedona, the authentic ceremony is conducted by a shaman
who wears full traditional regalia.
"The shamans' ceremonies are from their respective nations and are
heartwarming, highly spiritual, and inspiring," says Anthony Flesch,
owner of Weddings in Sedona. "We are respectful of Native
religious and cultural traditions. That's why we would only consider
employing authentic shamans to conduct these ceremonies."
James Uqualla, of the Havasupai nation, conducts the majority of the
ceremonies for the firm. The traditional rituals are conducted
partly in his native tongue, and partly in English. The shamanic
regalia, along with the spectacular scenery, create memorable photo
opportunities. The Shaman's Blessing usually includes chanting,
burning of ceremonial herbs, and prayers to the Great Spirit and the
four directions.
"As ceremonial facilitator, I am given the responsibility of
bridging the physical and spiritual," said Uqualla. "I am guided by
the medicines, spirits and all the Wisdom Keepers of time. The
oratory, songs and dances created my spiritual foundation."
Wedding Planner, Heather Bosick says "Every ceremony performed by
Uqualla has brought tears to my eyes. His passion for what he does
is deep and true, which makes the weddings he performs truly
moving."
Sedona has sacred meaning for many Native American nations. This,
coupled with its surrounding natural grandeur, makes it the perfect
place in which to experience a genuine Native American wedding.
A Native American ceremony may be incorporated into any of the
wedding packages offered by Weddings in Sedona, or used in a
custom ceremony created by the bride and groom. Weddings in
Sedona also offers more traditional wedding packages, and
custom planning for wedding parties large or small, simple or
lavish. For more information, contact Weddings in Sedona at
