    The choice to have our wedding on the Verde Canyon Railroad was the best ever. Working with Ellen and the entire staff went without a bump. Everyone was very accommodating, personable, efficient and pleasant. Everything was delivered as promised. We had one hundred guests, and everyone felt special. The food was delicious and the set up was appealing. I really cannot express how perfect everyone made our day. Our guests are still talking about what a unique destination it was.
