Notes
With this package, you would board the train in Williams, Arizona and travel to the Grand Canyon for a mid-day excursion. Upon arrival, our team will greet you at the train depot and lead you to an area where your wedding ceremony will take place. We will walk to the ceremony and photo locations; such locations will be dictated by how far you would like to walk. You would have approximately 3 hours at the Grand Canyon before you board the train to return to Williams. The first 2 hours you will be with our team for the ceremony and photos, then we will guide you back to the El Tovar hotel and depart. You will have approximately 1-hour remaining to spend at the hotel area to have lunch, look around the gift shops, have a cocktail, or walk the rim path on your own before you will need to board the train.
