About Crescent Moon Ramada

Crescent Moon sits beneath the stunning Cathedral Rock, one of the most photographed scenes in the American Southwest. Historical buildings and towering Arizona Sycamore trees decorate the landscape of this popular day use park (group shelter also known as Ramada) located in Sedona, Arizona. Visitors will marvel at the reflection of the red cliffs in the waters of Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing.

What Guests Are Saying

Crescent Moon Ramada is praised as a beautiful wedding venue with stunning views and helpful park rangers, making for an intimate and enjoyable ceremony. However, there were some parking confusion and issues with the on-site restroom being out of commission, which could be improved with better communication and planning. Overall, guests appreciated the cleanliness and amenities, recommending it for special events.

Large covered ramada with picnic tables and grills. Restroom nearby was clean and reserved for our guests. Short walk to the water. Perfect!

Beautiful wedding venue & great wedding day but 2 major issues. #1: parking for wedding ceremony and ramada rental was very confusing. We paid $120 for extra parking spots in general parking onsite but 2 guests were still turned away by front gate and the other offsite lots were full due to local events because cell reception did not allow them to call or text to us & front gate didnt notify us. Create a plan to shuttle guests or car pool is a must to avoid guests getting turned away. The front gate did not notify us that 2 guests needed a ride from offsite parking... wedding party would have picked them up. #2 issue: Ramada wedding site bathroom did not work it was out of commission. We had to use general park bathrooms a walk away even tho wedding bathroom is part of ramada & ceremony reservation we paid. Just be prepared with parking plan B and clear written list of guests for front gate to admit for wedding party is my suggestion. Physical passes or a list of guests would be a great idea for park but it was a bit of chaos day of.
