The Red Earth Venue - Moab, UT

To kick off wedding season 2025 we begin in southern Utah in the ethereal and gorgeous National Park town of Moab. Sandwiched in between Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park, our wedding ceremony and reception took place at the gorgeous and infamous Red Earth Venue. Here our wedding couple had an intimate first look in the red rock with a private vow exchange that followed after.

We had an overcast day which allowed the red rock to not be washed out, showing off its red and orange vibrant colors. The ceremony was very sweet and scenic located in the back courtyard of the Red Earth Venue. With views like these, you really don’t need to do much else but bask in beautiful sights of Moab.

After the ceremony pizza was served, toasts were made, the cake was cut and the dancing began! Thanks to daylight’s savings time we had great light all afternoon to cover these key events. Once the sun set the bride and groom (along with their enthusiastic guests) danced the night away to a mix of 2010’s indie dance music along with plenty of Taylor Swift. Sandstone Sound provided the tunes! All in all we had a wonderful day that ran so smoothly thanks in no small part to the team at Wedding Expectations!
