Join Our Wedding Vendor NetworkI'm always looking to connect with like-minded vendors whose passion is to provide exceptional service to small, intimate wedding and elopement couples at an incredible value. I plan very small, intimate weddings and elopements averaging 60 +/- a year, mostly located in Rocky Mountain National Park, Breckenridge, Vail, Grand Lake, Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs. We’ve had many inquiries about Aspen, Steamboat, Crested Butte and Telluride weddings and are starting to expand into these regions.

The wedding ceremonies are mostly at off-the-beaten-path sites and overlooks. They do not include a rehearsal since often there is no processional or even attendants (bridesmaids, groomsmen). Our couples are fun, spirited and relaxed!
I mainly look to network with mainly officiants & photographers.... and then videographers, caterers, restaurants, and private chefs as we have a regular florist and baker (though, are open to hearing about your businesses!). Benefits of working with our company: we take care of vendors and are supportive of your business & work!

- No sales are marketing on your end. When couples book our services, they get our vendor network list. Couples then let me know their order of preference for an officiant or photographer. We use this list to book whoever is first available. You simply either accept or decline - there is no obligation.
- Payment after you accept. Photographers receive 50% at the time of booking and then the remaining balance prior to the wedding. You are paid in full prior to the event.
- You still maintain your business. Because you are not an employee (rather an independent contractor), you can still conduct your business as normal. Being a part of our network just extends and enhances what you are currently doing.
- Refreshed. Many of our vendors who have served large weddings find fulfillment and joy in going small. There are fewer 10-hour days with exhaustion and "wedding hangover" the next day.
- The wedding is well planned! We handle all of the client correspondence and logistical details. We send you their timing & sequencing "Agenda" PDF prior to the wedding.
- Happy couples on the wedding day. We take the overwhelm and stress away from couples. They are happy! And, most our weddings include a well-trained onsite coordinator who is pro-vendor. Our approach on wedding days: not only do we work for the couple, we for vendors.... so that you can do what you do best! Total communication, total trust. Its a win-win-win for everyone.
"As a professional photographer with over 10 years of wedding experience, I’ve worked with many coordinators, and Wendee is by far one of the easiest to work with. She provides the ultimate experience from start to finish. Her knowledge and attention to detail is phenomenal. She is professional, organized and efficient which allows me to solely focus on my craft of capturing forever cherished moments without the stress of anything else. Her amazing energy and calmness is absolutely wonderful and I cant recommend her highly enough. I’m so grateful for all her hard work and dedication into each wedding and I feel very lucky to be part of her amazing team! "

Our package is much like an elopement, and with a few more elements that make it feel like a wedding. Our typical package includes:
Because we strive to connect with reliable and professional vendor, there are some minimum requirements and agreements:
We've had working relationships with many of the vendors in our current network for over 15 years! We've found renewed passion planning small weddings that align with our values: marriage-minded, in nature, simple without a lot of unnecessary drama, with quality elements - all without driving couples into a wedding loan (seriously - loans are for buying things like... a house!). Couples can begin their marriage without stress. If this sounds like it jives with your interest and values, please connect [email protected] to hear about next steps.
- 3-hours photography: clients receive high-resolution downloadable photographer edited images
- Bouquet and boutonniere (or other combo set): custom designed from inspiration photos couples send to us
- French baker cake: we always bring a cake stand and serving equipment. We either set this up at the ceremony site or delivery and setup at the restaurant or vacation home
- Officiant: a non-denominational minister or judge. Simple ceremonies with no elaborate walk-ins/outs.
- Our logistical planning and onsite coordination. We recommend local restaurant that have small private dining rooms/area, vacation homes, lodging/accommodations, and hair/makeup stylists. We bring onsite supplies, even fur for the bride(s) to wear on chilly days.
- Optional upgrades: a rehearsal, videography, transportation live music, catering and private chef.
Because we strive to connect with reliable and professional vendor, there are some minimum requirements and agreements:
- Experienced: at least three years serving the wedding market, and at minimum 50 weddings
- Established business: please make sure you are registered with an EIN and carry liability insurance (folks, that just simply good business practice).
- "Our" client minded: our clients are simply that - those in which we all serve. There are no "my" client attitudes - they are "ours".
- "Small" minded: okay, that's a play on words here. We truly like big visionary entrepreneurs. Our services focus on the small-wedding and elopement niche. We look for those who appreciate and can think differently when servicing small weddings and elopements.
- NO BAIT & SWITCH: when we work with you, it is the person we are booking. Kindly, for example, if you are a photographer, do not send an associate or second photographer in your place.
- At least 25% discounted or pre-arranged flat-rates. We ask for this because (1) our network saves you time, (2) saves you marketing/advertising, (3) we contract the client, thus taking on the risks, (4) we make wedding days easy for you by being on time and well planned, (5) we then pass-on this value to clients so that they can have a high-quality well-planned wedding with professional vendors. It is a win-win-win for everyone

Hi Wendee, Wow I got all three checks and marked the weddings as Paid. Amazing, I get more wedding referrals from you than from any other wedding consultant. You have a solid business going there, and I am honored to be part of it!
