Kylie + Landon: a romantic snowy small wedding package in the winter of the Colorado mountains12/21/2022 Their story: Landon and I met in high school and have been together since we were 17. We celebrate our anniversary this coming winter! We love the mountains and any adventure. One of our first trips together was to the Colorado mountains. We want a smaller, more intimate ceremony with just our immediate family. I just would love to avoid the drama that can come with a big wedding."
Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience, but it doesn't have to be! More and more couples are discovering the beauty and simplicity of hosting a small micro-wedding. Not only does it avoid the drama that can come with a big wedding, but it also allows for a more intimate and personalized celebration. Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by your closest loved ones in a stunning outdoor venue in Colorado. With a smaller guest list, you can focus on the details that matter most to you and your partner without feeling overwhelmed. So why not consider a stress-free micro-wedding with Wendee's Intimate Wedding Packages for your special day? Their Story: "We met through a dating app. We connected over our mutual love of traveling, music, adventures, and just being happy and having good times. We have traveled to Breckenridge several times throughout our relationship. Breck was the first place Jacob told me that he loved me after waiting 9 long months to hear how he felt. We knew we wanted a wedding, but something small and simple with just our immediate family. We knew a small destination wedding would be best and wanted our family to experience the magic of Colorado."
Their Story: "We actually met through Facebook and had many mutual friends. We are from Texas and we love to travel and take our kids to do fun things. We chose a small wedding in Colorado because we went on vacation to Colorado in November 2020 and fell in love with it. We always knew we wanted a small destination wedding. We thought Colorado would be the perfect place to get married with our closest friends and family.”
Their Story: “Jake and I met through my best friend who worked with him. Our first date was a blind date and continued to blossom over the years. We have been together for 5 years this coming January. We decided to elope in Colorado because it was where we had our first vacation together as a couple and we both love the mountains and scenery. We have travelled to Colorado several times over the years to different areas. We wanted something very small and special with just the two of us. We have been non-traditional in our dating relationship, so might as well do the same with our ceremony."
Their Story: "We first met while teaching at a middle school. Steve took a spoonful of my lemon ice at an end-of-the-year luncheon and the rest is history. Our dream is to get married in Colorado because that is where we took our first vacation. On this trip, we visited Rocky Mountain National Park and fell in love with the mountains. We love to go on adventures and be outside in nature. We got engaged in May 2021 at the same place we took our first hike, five years earlier. Just this past summer, we crossed a major item off our bucket list and completed a cross-country trip with our camper. We are ready to set down some roots and just bought a house together! We both never saw a traditional wedding in our future and the idea of a Colorado elopement is so appealing to us because we really feel that it is important for the moment to be about our love for each other. What better way to express our love for each other than in one of the places that helped us fall in love. We will celebrate with our loved ones when we return home!”
Their Story: "Billy and I have been together for nine years! We decided to cancel our large wedding for many reasons. Some of them were that it was very stressful to plan such a big event, we were spending money that could be used in a better way, and it was becoming more about everyone else and less about us. We love Colorado it’s a place that we have vacationed multiple times before. It’s truly magical and when I think of my “dream wedding” it’s in the mountains surrounded by the people who love us most.” We couldn’t agree more that a Colorado mountain backdrop is a dreamy setting for a small simple wedding, which is why we offer the intimate wedding package - making it easy and stress-free. We are so glad to have connected with Samantha and Billy, who traveled from New York, for their October micro-wedding with 30 of their closest friends and family members. 🎉
Their Story: "Todd and I met in Atlanta (we're both from the South) and have always wanted to move to Colorado, We like to camp, hike, and mountain bike, and have a little rescue dog and a cat named Fred. We have access to a free vacation house near Winter Park. I could probably plan the wedding myself, but I work full-time and its sooner soon, and on the wedding day, I don't want to be responsible for setting everything up and managing all the vendors."
Taylor + Jacob: A destination micro-wedding in Colorado with 26 closest friends and family10/2/2022 Their Story: “We have been together since high school and have a 3 year old son. We love to travel and going on hikes is one of our favorite things to do! Seeing new things and just taking in new views together!” Taylor and Jacob had always dreamed of a perfect and intimate wedding with their closest friends and family. So when they found Custom Weddings of Colorado's all-inclusive micro-wedding package, they knew it was perfect for them. The package included everything they needed, from the photographer and officiant to the decorations and flowers, that made their wedding day so magical. The couple traveled all the way from Illinois with 26 guests and three bridesmaids to Summit County, Colorado. It was a picturesque backdrop, with scenic views and fresh mountain air, that their guests couldn't stop talking about! 🎉
Their Story: "We met at work, but he conveniently didn't know who I was until a night out with mutual friends. We decided on a smaller wedding in Colorado for a few reasons: We both LOVE the mountains, fishing, and just being outdoors enjoying nature. We want our wedding to be about US, and celebrating with those we love most, rather than a big overdone wedding and party.”
Their Story: "Sara and I met online and discovered right away that were each other's best friends and soulmates. We are thinking a small simple wedding because we have been to the large "commercial" weddings and we would like to have a small intimate special wedding with our close family and friends. We were both raised in Colorado and would like to have an authentic Colorado wedding in the mountains."
Planning Details: We started working with Sara and Zach about nine months in advance of their wedding when they reached out to us through our ceremony site report services, which is a written consultation with detailed information about site options that will work with couple’s vision, budget, needs and priorities. For their Colorado small wedding, they identified their top priorities as having a scenic mountain backdrop, a first look, and a small venue for around 30 guessts. Check, check and check - we got it covered and see their photos below ⬇️ 🎉 They originally decided to have their wedding at Julia's Deck on Vail Pass, but throughout their planning, that changed.... which is totally okay. Because they were both lodging and hosting a dinner at a restaurant in Breckenridge *AND* their guest list increased, we assisted with finding an alternate site that will still keep their priorities inline with having a simple small and intimate wedding with scenic mountain views. Thus, they decided on the rogue, secret Rounds Park. Megan + Derek's Colorado Elopement Package at Blue Lake in the Fall with Aspens and Mountains9/29/2022 Their Story: "We met when we were 9 and 10 years old. Although we’ve known each other for 24 years, we didn’t exactly become friends until after high school. We became “pen pals” if you will and we continued to keep up with each other over the years through social media. We connected much later in 2019 where the sparks flew and we have been in love ever since. We chose a Colorado elopement because we wanted something intimate. This moment is about us and we want to soak-up as much as we can. Colorado is gorgeous! The aspen trees will be beautiful that time of year, so we expect an intimate moment with a beautiful view. We enjoy being outside on a trail or on the water. We are very happy to be on this journey. When people say “when you know, you know”. Well, that’s so true. We know and feel lucky to marry our best friends."
Their Story: Like so many of our couples, Rachael and Brett met through and online dating app. On the evening of their first date, Brett told Rachael they were going to get married in the mountains. The following night, Brett met Rachael’s entire family at her mom’s retirement party. I guess you could say they both “just knew”, and have been inseparable ever since! The following Thanksgiving, they adopted their precious Ruby, who then encouraged them to buy a house. Now here they are, five years later, getting married in the mountains of Colorado!” September of 2022.
