Plan Your Trip
Join us in the Wild, Wild West!
We’re beyond grateful to have you with us in Scottsdale, Arizona, to celebrate this special occasion beneath a painted sunset and starry desert skies.
Whether you’re crossing state lines, international waters, or just cruising across the Phoenix metro area, we created this guide to help you plan your trip. We’d love for you to have the best time not only at our wedding but also have some opportunities to explore what this incredible region has to offer!
Arizona truly has it all—stunning vistas, iconic natural wonders, nearly 80 species of cacti, and year-round sunshine.
For those new to this corner of the U.S., we hope you’ll fall in love with the Southwest's unique beauty and wonder, just as we have.
We love you and can’t wait to party under the stars with you.

Getting to Scottsdale
By Plane
The closest airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), about a 20-minute drive from Scottsdale.
Flying internationally?
PHX offers direct flights from many major cities worldwide. If you're still finding it tricky to secure a good flight, however, consider flying into a major West Coast hub like Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), or Las Vegas (LAS) and then taking a quick domestic flight to Phoenix.
By Car

Approximate Drive Times
From PHX Airport: ~30 minutes
From Los Angeles, CA: ~6 hours
From Las Vegas, NV: ~5 hours
