You won't find better taste, organization and execution to make your wedding truly the best, most memorable and special day/weekend. In addition to doing the most incredible job the weekend of our wedding, she was incredible during the whole planning process as well. From our very first conversation she was incredibly easy to work with, so professional and truly did everything. My husband and I were working very busy full time jobs, and she made the whole planning process as low stress as possible. She was always responsive and on top of every to-do. We really became friends with Kate in the process as well and have stayed in touch following our wedding. She is the best. We had truly exceptional, perfectly executed, flawlessly planned wedding thanks to Goldleaf, and we are forever grateful!

From day one, Kate and the Gold Leaf team brought a calming presence, impeccable taste, and a deep understanding of how to bring our vision to life. I'm convinced I was the least stressed bride of all my friends thanks to Kate's steady guidance and meticulous attention to detail. She made everything feel seamless, elegant, and authentically "us." If you're looking for someone who is not only talented and experienced but also kind, poised, and deeply invested in your day, I can't recommend Kate enough. She made the impossible feel easy--and gave us the wedding of our dreams.

Because of Bluebird's integral understanding of Aspen's local scene and service providers, we benefited from inside information saving us time, money and hassle. I was able to be 100% in the moment for the most memorable weekend of my life. Unlike most brides, I didn't have endless check-lists running through my mind. Bluebird's goal was to tie-up details before the wedding week even began. With a prepared agenda we could relax and enjoy golf, hikes, and a bike ride to a magazine-worthy, Bluebird catered picnic at the Maroon Bells. Thank you, Virginia Frischkorn and Chelsea VanVleet, for going the extra mile and for helping to facilitate our fantastic wedding celebration! Elizabeth, San Francisco, CA

Virginia was extremely honest, patient, and meticulous, and I felt like she brought wonderful organization and experience to our incredible weekend. We honestly would not change a thing! From helping at our rehearsal dinner to holding my wife's hand while we confronted the reality that we needed to execute on our rainy day plan, we felt like Virginia was actually invested in our happiness beyond execution. When Virginia told us something would be beautiful, we knew that it would be not just beautiful but breathtaking. When we have a daughter, we hope she is lucky enough to have Virginia plan her wedding.

Beret remained calm and flexible throughout, which was particularly helpful in managing outdoor-related wedding issues, including rain delays, weather-related decor changes and challenging banquet management.

Beret understood our priorities and worked with us to execute our vision for our destination wedding. Thank you, Beret!

She was amazing to work with during every step involved in the planning process. From our very first meeting I instantly felt at ease and knew that we were in the best of hands. Jenny comes with an impressive background in event planning. She knows the in's and the out's of the industry and has amazing resources that aided in keeping us on track and organized. Just when I thought that Jenny couldn't get any better...she literally saved the day for our ceremony! Our DJ got stuck in traffic on his way to Vail and was unfortunately not able to make it to our wedding. We found out the news approximately two hours prior to our ceremony start time. Needless to say, I was panicking...but Jenny wasn't. She calmly approached me to fill me in on the situation. I very clearly remember her telling me "I've got this. Give me some time and I will find a replacement." Within FIVE MINUTES we had a new DJ hired. I cannot speak enough regarding the importance of hiring local vendors who know the area and have connections in the area. Jenny didn't stop assisting us once our wedding was over either as she assisted us in negotiations with the DJ for a reimbursement. I will never be able to thank Jenny enough. I went from being incredibly overwhelmed planning a destination wedding to feeling so at ease and confident with the professionals that I hired. It is an incredible thing seeing your vision come to life and I truly don't think my vision could have been executed without Jenny's help! Now that my dream wedding has come and gone I feel even more grateful to have made an amazing friend in the process.

What truly set Jenny apart was her meticulous attention to detail - she thought of absolutely everything, showing her deep knowledge and expertise. Her experience working in the Roaring Fork Valley also allowed us to plan our wedding in a condensed timeline, connecting with vendors easily and moving through the steps more quickly than we would have on our own or with someone not local. She navigated the curveball of a late April Aspen snowstorm with ease and our guests haven't stopped talking about how our wedding was one of the most memorable (in the best way possible!) they've attended. She brought our vision of a relaxed yet elegant ceremony and reception to life and we are so grateful!

I was looking for a ceremony DJ when DJ Naka G was recommended to me from my wedding planner. I was…read moregetting married on The Wedding Deck on top of Aspen Mountain (The Little Nell) and was very nervous about the sound quality. My planner assured me that Michael was the best of the best and had tons of experience with outdoor ceremonies. Michael was quick to respond to my inquire and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I was very particular on what music I wanted throughout the ceremony, the level it was played at, and when to turn off our microphones. Michael blew it out of the park! Not only did he listen to all of my needs/concerns, but he made sure the sound was perfect and everything ran smoothly. It was important to me to have the mics shut off during communion and prayer, so we could privately enjoy that spiritual moment and was worried I would get a DJ who wasn't paying attention or would forget to do this. Not Michael. He was ON IT every second of our long ceremony and truly did a phenomenal job. I cant thank him enough for making everything perfect. Weddings can be so overwhelming and choosing a great vendor who can ease your mind is priceless. If you are looking for an Aspen DJ, he is your guy!

We really loved what he did. It flowed so naturally, and he knew exactly what we wanted without us having to create an entire playlist. Turns out, leaving that to the professionals is a great idea. You don't have to plan everything, brides ;)

The ceremony was beautiful and amazing, in the front courtyard of the Hotel Colorado, at twilight in January. We had a small ceremony, maybe 20 people that traveled to be there with us. Jill included our own vows to each other within a more traditional ceremony that did real justice to the expectations of our guests and the ideas and values that keep our union together going forward. She was great to work with in the planning stage, knew and appreciated our photographer and was tolerant of our foibles, even in the moments preceding the ceremony. Without hesitation we recommend Jill to other couples finding a way to secure and memorialize their marriage in a very real and lasting sense. It was beautiful.

We hired Red Maple Catering for a welcome reception the day before our daughter's destination…read morewedding and were extremely disappointed with our experience. While the service and staff was courteous and professional, the quantity of the food was very far below our expectations. We had agreed upon a menu consisting of three appetizers and two stations, yet on the day of the event we were served five appetizers instead. This created an extremely embarrassing situation for us as hosts, as the food ran out far too quickly and guests left unsatisfied. Given the cost, the reputation of the company, and the careful planning that went into our event, this outcome was deeply disappointing. We definitely do not recommend this caterer based on our experience.

Danielle was my go-to for wedding support, was a calm presence when things became chaotic, and was flexible with all the changes I threw at her (including pushing our wedding 9 months due to covid). She truly cares about her clients and it shows not only in the way she carries herself but in the way she captures images as though you are her family. She was able to capture everything we could have wanted out of our wedding and then some. When last minute plans changed at the end of our wedding night, she even went out of her way to call our transportation company to ensure our ride was ready when we were. I could not recommend her more - beyond my go-to photographer, I also consider her my friend and support.
