Colorado Microweddings

We specialize in small, destination weddings, elopements and micro-weddings.  A Colorado mountain top is the perfect place to elope, or maybe you'd prefer a cozy bed and breakfast.  Our tiny wedding packages offer couples the opportunity to have a dreamy wedding, just without all the "hoopla" of a big, formal event  You have all the necessities:  the ceremony site, professional photography, fresh florals, an officiant, cake, expert planning and onsite coordination.  We'll even guide you with dinner reservations to celebrate your union.  The best part:  it isn't "just" an elopement.  Our elopement packages are everything you need and done well!

Is this package right for us? 

Hey, let’s be real.  This inclusive package is not for everyone planning a wedding.  Our services are special to those who whose vision is to have a small intimate wedding of #35 guests or less, a microwedding (say, 12 guests), or an elopement with just the two of you!  
Colorado elopement package
July 2020
  • You were planning a big wedding, but found that the cost and overwhelm brought you to a halt.  You are no longer excited about your wedding. 
  • You and your fiancé never really liked being the center of attention.  It gives you anxiety thinking about all 200 sets of eyes on you!
  • You realize that there is no way you can spend quality time talking to all #200 of your guests.  
  • ​ ​You have a full time job, are in school, have kids, or all of the above..... and you really don’t have the countless hours to spend “Googling” how to plan a small wedding ​
  • Its your second marriage and you did the big wedding the first time around, and now want to focus on your immediate familiy and closest friends
  • ​​​You’d rather save for a house than pay off a wedding loan for the next 10 years
  • You want a small wedding without the stress of all the planning
  • ​You’d like the day to be about you and your marriage - not everyone else’s expectations

Meet your planner, Wendee

Hey, It's Wendee here.  

I create small intimate microweddings and elopements for couples who want to get married in the mountains, making the wedding all about you.  I've been wedding planning since 1995, and what years of experience taught me:  it's about having a joyous, fun, meaningful day with your close friends & family, and  without the stress of a thousand details (and the price tag to go with it!).  

I created this package after planning my own small wedding in 2007.  After my son was born in 2012, I decided to exclusively plan only small intimate weddings & elopements (said “goodbye" to the big ones), helping literally close to  a thousand couples. 

I am your down-to-earth planner specializing in logistics and quality elements that make micoweddings feel luxurious.  I have amazing relationships with our vendors.  And, I've had my share of challenges too (divorce, loss of of a parent), starting over in life, and focusing on things that truly matter.  It makes me a better planner.

Having your dream wedding can be easy, affordable, and beautiful.    If you are looking to alleviate overwhelm and pressure that often comes with planning a large wedding, yet still want quality with a stunning backdrop, then please connect with me.
