Sedona Wedding Minister & the Sedona Elopement Weddings Team

Sedona beckons… and we answer the call!  We are Wedding Officiants and Wedding Ministers who have lived in Sedona for years, drawn to the mystical red rocks by that ongoing search for meaning and beauty. We offer a variety of ceremonies for you to chose from or invite you to write your own so that your wedding ceremony represents your values and beliefs.

Reverend Scot: Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Scot moved to Los Angeles after college where he began his ‘higher education’ in yoga and Eastern and Western approaches to meditation. He has been living in Sedona since 1989, devoting his time to cultivating the inner arts and bringing these practices to others. As a Sedona wedding minister, his style is relaxed and friendly, helping couples to feel at ease on their special day. He was chaplain of St. Sophia Seminary in Sedona.

Leslie McCandless (M.A.) is an ordained secular, non-denominational minister. A licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in both California and Arizona, she relocated to Sedona from Los Angeles more than 30 years ago. The beauty of the Southwest inspired her to want to assist couples create their ceremonies outdoors in nature. As a Sedona wedding minister and wedding officiant for Sedona Elopement Weddings, she enjoys the spectacular red rocks daily.

Shondra: A wonderful officiant who has been an active member of the Sedona community for many years. As a singer and performer, her voice is a gorgeous instrument! A local talent who is one of the Sedona Dynamite Divas, she is often asked to host community events. If you are lucky enough to be married by her, her lovely energy will be a blessing to you on your wedding day.
