Weddings and Elopements
Shoshone Point brings a trifecta of wonderful wedding benefits. First, it’s a secluded spot that can be reserved for your Grand Canyon wedding party, no more than 30 minutes from Grand Canyon Village. While other sites have a two-hour time limit, the limit is six hours here. It’s also the only wedding site location at the rim that allows receptions.

Shoshone Point in the Grand Canyon is named after the Shoshone, a Native American tribe whose ancestral homelands spanned parts of the Intermountain West, including areas of Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada.
