"Throughout the process, Wendee stayed in constant communication and gave recommendations for anything we needed. For each step, she provided a list of vendors she works with and we were able to pick the ones that we thought would be best for our wedding. I loved that we still had input and were able to customize things to match our personalities."    Courtney, April 2024 Micro-Wedding in Rocky Mountain National Park

Small Wedding in Colorado: a testimonial
"We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the brilliant job you did in helping us create the wedding of our dreams. Honestly, words cannot express our appreciation for everything you did to make our special day a success. Your planning and hard work took out the stress and anxiety that often surround a wedding. We went back home and told everyone the weekend was beautiful, joyous, and relaxing, and most of this was because of you and Stephanie. Our family ranted and raved about our wedding and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful setting, delicious food, and professionalism of everyone involved. In fact, all of them said they were jealous and wished they had gone our route for their wedding! We received nothing but amazing praise from our guests and we couldn’t be happier. Everything flowed smoothly; it was exquisite and flawless. We are truly grateful."
