Elaina + Kaleb | Garden of the Gods Small Intimate Wedding - Custom Weddings of Colorado: Specialists in Small Intimate Weddings & Elopements

Elaina + Kaleb | Garden of the Gods Small Intimate Wedding

1/6/2019

About the Couple: “Kaleb and I met two and half years ago through our church. We were really good friends for a year before finally dating. He proposed in August while taking me on a hike. We decided to get married in Colorado because we wanted a small, stress free wedding where the focus would be truly on us, and not on pleasing family or friends. We decided that Colorado would make for beautiful pictures and it was somewhere new for both of us!"

Wedding details: Having a wedding done YOUR way with no pressure from family or friends is our type of couple. And, did you notice they are hikers too? Love it! Elaina & Kaleb settled on a wedding at the unique Garden of the Gods. Secretly, the best place to stay and dine is in Manitou Springs. John (my boyfriend) and I go there at least once a year for a couples getaway and to hike the Manitou Incline. We LOVE staying at the Cliff House and going out for dinner at Briarhurst Manor (the feature small pirate dining rooms). Garden of the God’s is a great spot if you want a winter wedding, but you don’t want to get deep into snow often found farther west in the mountains. Elaina’s wintery style and colors popped in the natural environment. Gorgeous style! Though she had 5 bridesmaids, we did a casual “no hoopla” ceremony.

Your Micro-Wedding Planner

I've been planning weddings since 1995 when I moved to Colorado from Iowa. I cut my teeth at Keystone Resort in their weddings department, then then ventured on to planning corporate meetings. But, I kept helping friends and their friends with weddings starting my first full-service company in 2002. In 2012, I decided to "go small" with elopements & micro-weddings. Please connect with me to make your dreamy, simple mountain wedding come true!

Ever wonder what goes on behind-the-scenes of a micro-wedding day? Jaime L. Barba, one of our talented photographers, captured me at work ⬇️ from one of our May 2023 weddings in Boulder, Colorado.
