About

Favorite things:  the first sip of coffee, watching a Broncos sunrise, a fall hike in the aspens, nice socks, marathon Netflix (currently watching Schitts Creek), walks with friends, listening to loud music in my car (and pretending I can carry a tune), jogging with my black lab (a rescue), ChocoLove (any and all flavors), my standard outfit (t-shirt, jeans and flip-flops), simmering chili, my son's gut-wrenching laugh, and my house cleaner (life saver!).  My father taught me the deeper your friendships, the taller you grow.  I believe a hot epsom salt bath with essential oils will cure most worries. I believe that fine cheese + crackers + olives + wine is a complete meal should be feasted upon as least once a week.  I believe it is all about quality, and not quantity.  I believe in having experiences rather than stuff.  I believe in living debt-free (and certainly no loans for a wedding!)

CELINE FUQUA, Onsite Microwedding Coordinator

I met Celine back in 2019 when she was a bridesmaid to her mom's wedding.  There was something about the way she handled herself:  attentive, upbeat and "on top of it".  I was impressed!  So, iI reached out to her about being and onsite coordinator.  She's been with us ever since and has a talent for weddings.  But, don't take my word for it..... read some of these testimonials from clients: 
  • "Celine was my day-of coordinator for my wedding. She was absolutely fabulous. Not only did she manage to keep all of us on time, but did so in a way that still allowed us to cherish each moment. I was super touched when the day after my wedding, she sent me some videos that she had taken during some key moments of our wedding day. I cannot express how touched I am by her thoughtfulness."
  • "Celine (on site coordinator) was amazing!  We had some unexpected rain that she managed gracefully, making the whole experience stress-free. John and I loved every minute of our day. Thank you all so much!"
  • "Celine was wonderful and took on everything that came up with such enthusiasm and charisma that put everyone at ease."
  • "And I can't thank our wedding day coordinator, Celine, enough for making sure the day went smoothly. Celine made sure that everything was in place and any little extras we needed, she had. Even when we were doing our pictures, she noticed a little waterfall near our location and suggested we do some pictures there."
  • "Working with you and Celine was a dream. We couldn’t have asked for better coordination, special touches with flowers and decor, and loved how smoothly everything flowed during our wedding day. "
  • "Celine, our coordinator was absolutely amazing!  She truly made the day as seamless as possible and coordinated everything for us, which took all of the stress and allowed us to truly enjoy our special day."
  • "At the wedding site we worked with Celine (coordinator), and she was a delight to work with. She has an extremely bubbly personality and is very people oriented. Was ready for anything that we may have thrown at her for suggestion and very accommodating.  We would highly recommend Custom Weddings of Colorado for any wedding needs!!!! If we could give more that 5 stars, we would!!!! "
I could go on with more gushing feedback, but I think you know by now you'll be in great care with us. ~ Wendee
