Wendee and her team made our wedding process smooth from day one. We were impressed with the many recommendations provided that eased the stress of planning a wedding from out of state. This included a list of ceremony locations, officiants, photographers, and other vendors to choose from.

If I could give 500 stars I would. Wendee and her team made the entire wedding process not only easy and stress-free BUT the 'day of' exceeded my expectations. The onsite coordinator, Celine, handled anything and everything throughout the day and made sure that every detail was perfect.

No amount of words or thanks can cover how much Wendee made the wedding process so easy and stress-free—our wedding day turned out better than I could ever have imagined. If you want a stress-free small wedding in nature, she’s the person to go with! Her team has everything to a science, and I couldn’t praise them more.

Meet micro-wedding planner, Wendee

Hi there! I'm Wendee and I specialize in creating beautiful, stress-free micro-weddings and elopements for couples who want to say "I do" in Colorado’s stunning mountains.. 
​
I’ve been planning weddings since 1995, so I completely get how overwhelming the process can feel. That’s why I make it easy for couples like you!  Our priority is to ensure your day is fun, meaningful, and absolutely unforgettable.... all without the overwhelming stress (or hefty price tag) of a traditional, larger wedding.

Why choose us?

 🏔️  I’ve lived it. When I got married in 2007, I planned a micro-wedding, but ran into challenges with sites & vendors - even having worked in the industry for years.! I figure out a system, and  since then, I’ve helped thousands of couples create their dream micro-wedding or elopement.

🥂  Knowledge that counts. With nearly three decades of experience, I know every trick and tip to make your day seamless and magical, what works and what doesn't.

🫶🏻  Trusted relationships. I’ve built a carefully curated network of amazing vendors who deliver quality every single time.
  • ​
What’s my secret sauce?  I specialize in logistics and those little touches that make a simple micro-wedding feel luxurious.   If you want to marry your soulmate against stunning Colorado backdrops, and skip the stress + overwhelm of planning? I’m your person!   

​Let's connect and start planning!  Cheers ~ Wendee 🫶🏻

Is a microwedding package right for us?

This inclusive micro-wedding 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!

Do you connect with any of these statements?  
  • You were planning a big wedding, but found that the cost and overwhelm brought you to a halt.
  • You and your fiancé never really liked being the center of attention.
  • You realize that there is no way you can spend quality time talking to all #200 of your guests.
  • ​​You have a busy life:  full time job, are in grad school, have kids, ..... and you simply don’t have the countless hours to spend Googling "how to plan a microwedding "
  • It's your second marriage, you did the big wedding, and now want to focus on your family and closest friends.
  • ​​​You’d rather save for a house than pay off a wedding loan for the next 10 years.
  • You want a microwedding without the stress of all the planning and logistics; you want connected with an experienced microwedding planner. 
  • You are traveling from out-of-state and want to be connected with quality and experienced vendors. 
  • ​You’d like the day to be about you and your marriage - not everyone else’s expectations

What size is a small wedding, micro-wedding or elopement?
There are no guidelines, rules or even industry standards.  But, here is how we break down the differences in tiny wedding terminology:
