Colorado Wedding Planner: My Favorite Moments of 2016
Posted by johnna-patton on December 30th, 2016
With less than two days until 2017 I find myself both thinking ahead and looking back. Every year at this time I dig through all of my photos from the previous year’s weddings and put together a group of my favorite shots. Writing this post reminds me of all those special moments that, as a wedding planner I was privileged to be a part of. Thank you!

Colorado Wedding Planner: My Favorite Moment of a Wedding…
Posted by elizabeth waldmann on December 20th, 2016
I think this might be my favorite post ever. Every wedding planner has their favorite aspect of a wedding. Some love the dress, some love the ring, some love the first dance. My favorite moment is when everyone is seated, I have sent the entire wedding party down the aisle, I’ve cued the music change and now I’m waiting with the bride and her father to send them down the aisle. This proud dad is about to give his little girl away and he is just so proud, excited, nervous, anxious (the list goes on) and I’m there to witness the all those last minute hugs, kisses and conversations. I feel so incredibly lucky to be a part of such a special moment.

Colorado Wedding Planner: Mary and Scott
Posted by johnna-patton on May 11th, 2016
Mary and Scott had a beautiful fall wedding at the Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Granby, Colorado. The bride was stunning, the groom was handsome but…..Mary and Scott’s son Beau stole the show! Beau is darling and very busy. It was one of those perfect, sunny, Colorado fall days and with the help of Cindy from Bloom Flower Shop, Devil’s Thumb Ranch was transformed. A huge thank you also to Joe Kusamoto of Joe Kusamoto Photography for capturing this amazing day!
Breckenridge Wedding Planner: Kim & Drew
Posted by elizabeth waldmann on April 14th, 2016
When it comes to Kim and Drew, it gets personal. What do I mean by this? Hang with me…Drew is my very dear friend’s brother. Not only is she my dear friend, she is also one of our fabulous wedding planners. So if anyone’s wedding needs to go off without a hitch (no pun intended) it would be these two! I met Drew about seven years ago before he had even met Kim. Knowing Drew before Kim and knowing Drew after Kim there is just no comparison. These two complete each other and it’s so fabulous to watch. Ok, back to the details of their wedding. Kim and Drew were married at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, Colorado. As you can see from the photos, the weather was perfect. Speaking of photos, the very talented Daylene Wilson captured this very special day. Guests spent cocktail hour in the gorgeous summer mountain day and then headed inside for dinner and a rocking reception with music by Spotlight Band. Florals were done by Bec at Bec’s Blossoms and that scrumptious cake was baked by Katy at Sugar Breck. Thank you to Kim and Drew for choosing us to be their wedding planners for their Breckenridge wedding!
Breckenridge Wedding Planner: Ana & Matt
Posted by elizabeth waldmann on February 25th, 2016
These two, if I could wrap them up and put them in my pocket I totally would. I only worked with Ana throughout the entire planning process and she is such a doll. It wasn’t until about a week out that I met her future hubby Matt for the first time. The two of them are just great people. You could see that Matt truly appreciated all of the planning that Ana had been doing and that he was so excited to marry her. Swoon! Ok, ok enough rambling on about these two. On to the details of their wedding day.
We chose the Breckenridge Nordic Center for their ceremony and reception. This is a cross country ski lodge in the winter and transforms to the most amazing wedding venue in the summer. Such a stunning place to get married. The sun was shining and the day was perfect for their outdoor nuptials. After the ceremony guests stayed outside and enjoyed some bluegrass sound from Andy Straus from the Hunker Down Band while taking in the expansive mountain views. After cocktail hour guests were asked to be seated for dinner inside the lodge. The tables were beautifully adorned with flowers from Bloom Flower Shop. Next guests listened to an amazing welcome toast given by Ana’s dad and then dinner served! Ana and Matt opted for a tasting menu style dinner that left everyone satisfied. Biscuits and Berries served this seamlessly and the food was spectacular. Then it was party time! Jay from Standing Room Only had everyone dancing throughout the evening. A huge shout out to Sarah Hays Photography. Without her extreme talent and keen eye, I wouldn’t have the amazing photos below to share with you. Enjoy!
Congratulations Ana and Matt! Thank you for choosing Distinctive Mountain Events to be your wedding planners and including us your very special day!
