I've done this trip, or similar, twice in the past 5 years. The town of Sedona is similar to most tourist mountain towns...T-shirt shops, ice cream parlors, boutiques, spas, etc. The few good restaurants are worth staying there, but make sure to get reservations done plenty ahead of time. Your drive to Page/Horseshoe Bend/Antelope Canyon will be a long one and I'd try to talk her out of that leg of the trip unless you commit to sleeping in Page for one night. I wouldn't want to drive there and back in one day and you won't make it back to Sedona in time for dinner or wineries anyway.

I'd save Page/Horseshoe Bend/Antelope Canyon for a different trip to pair with Zion Canyon if you can. Dedicate a day for the red rocks area around Sedona and save your time from driving. Check out Devil's Bridge just outside of Sedona.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to use Sedona as a base camp for Page, you'd want to spend the night if you are doing Antelope canyon. And I'd recommend doing upper and lower antelope and visiting Horseshoe bend in the middle or after. I enjoyed all three a great deal.

And as mentioned, Oak Creek canyon, particularly the west fork trail, is probably the best part of a Sedona trip. I'd just do two days in Sedona and do a separate trip for Antelope.
