There are not enough words in the English language to properly summarize how WONDERFUL the people…read moreat Distinctive Mountain Events are. We worked with Elizabeth Waldmann (Ebs) for our wedding, and five out of five stars is not nearly enough kudos for Ebs. More like 100 out of 5. We worked with Ebs for almost a year, and my husband and I both feel so emotionally connected and indebted to Ebs for everything she did for us. From finding vendors who all were out of this world spectacular (caterer, baker, hair stylist, makeup artist - even finding the perfect officiant) to finding a perfect venue to replace our original venue after it fell through, to receiving 30+ packages on our behalf (Breckenridge was a destination wedding), to finding the perfect decorator to match our wishes and budget - not an easy task - and finally to being there on the big day to make everything flow perfectly. I felt at ease the moment I saw Ebs had arrived on wedding day. Ebs was always extremely attentive, professional and knowledgeable, often knowing more about what we wanted than we did and answering questions before we thought to ask them. I told Ebs that my husband and I would walk off a cliff if she told us to, because we know she'd have a good reason to do so and that we'd be perfectly safe under her care. One of the only hard parts of our wedding day was the end, and saying goodbye to Ebs - although I was ready to be done with wedding planning, it was with a very heavy heart that Rob and I wrapped up our wedding day. I am even getting emotional writing this out. If you are looking for a wedding planner in the Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail & Beaver Creek area, (first of all, good for you! Wedding planners are seriously awesome, and a fantastic investment to making your special day the best it can be!), look no further than Distinctive Mountain Events. They have my strongest endorsement and I am confident that you will be so happy with your decision. It wasn't just that we had Ebs at our side - it was that everything came together so much better because of her work as well as her recommendations. We were so happy with our wedding, our venues and our vendors, and we cannot thank Ebs and Distinctive Mountain Events enough for making our wedding day a perfect experience.

Ebs is the go-to wedding planner for Summit County! She was an absolute wealth of knowledge for our…read moreBreckenridge wedding. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and her strong relationships with them helped make our wedding vision come to life seamlessly. Ebs is incredibly hard-working, organized, and always on top of every detail. I really appreciated our phone check-ins throughout the planning process - she made everything feel so manageable and FUN! About a month before our wedding, we faced a major curveball when my mom became too sick to attend. Ebs went above and beyond during an incredibly emotional time, helping us make the necessary adjustments and helping make my mom's presence felt throughout the day. On the wedding day, Ebs was everywhere she needed to be - attentive, calm, and ready to handle any little thing that popped up. She even gave my husband and I a ride to our after party when we missed the last bus! I can't recommend her enough. If you're getting married in Summit County, you need Ebs on your team. I am going to miss all of the laughs during our phone calls!! :) Thank you for everything, Ebs!

Shawna was amazing to work with! We used her partial planning services (month of/day of…read morecoordination), but she was very responsive and available at any point leading up to our wedding, not just the month before. She was always quick to respond via email or text and we never had issues finding time to schedule zoom calls with her. She was present and so helpful throughout our whole wedding weekend. Shawna always offered great insight on calls with our vendors and ensured they all had our wedding day timeline. She called all of our vendors before our wedding weekend to review details regarding timing, parking, getting around, etc. She also gave them all her cell number and was always available, so none of them needed to contact us during our wedding weekend. Overall, we would definitely recommend hiring Breck Mountain Weddings to help with your wedding planning/coordination needs.

I called Jolene at 2pm on the day of my November evening event. It was super cold out and I needed…read moreheaters and blankets to make an important meeting comfortable. I deal with a lot of vendors and I knew my same-day request (on a Saturday no less) would probably be met with cranky "not possible in the timeline" responses. Instead, I met Jolene on the other end of the phone. What a warm and positive person! She immediately took on my problems with grace and alacrity. She not only solved the heaters and blanket asks but also added so many details that I would never have thought of. Baskets to hold the blankets. Blankets tied with twine. Additional black napkins in case someone was wearing a dark outfit. Found local wines and beers. Just extremely thoughtful in everything she did. My event was not big or expensive. I'm from out of town so I'm probably not a repeat client (wish I could be!). And I had a very last minute weekend request. And Jolene pulled through 110%. I would trust her to plan just about anything. You'll be in the best hands.

She made my life easier in planning our wedding reception and felt more like a friend than a vendor. We could not speak more highly of them or the event they coordinated for us. We had the best time.

She made everything so easy, and most importantly - she kept us calm and unaware of everything chaotic that was happening behind the scenes. We would be THRILLED to work with Lauren's team again, and highly recommend Hourglass!

We found Milkglass through the Woodlands' all inclusive package and could not have been happier with how everything went. We were an unlucky June 2020 couple and Carly helped us reschedule our wedding and contact vendors to navigate the tough times. We finally had our special day in May 2021 and it was perfection. Carly helped us make decisions about flowers and decor, even meeting us at Event Rents multiple times over the long planning process (2 years with the covid delay!). Planning was really fun with Carly and team - you can tell that they genuinely enjoy what they do and they bring their experience and expertise to help. Everything was gorgeous on the day. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my wedding, while Milkglass took care of everything else. Our guests were certainly in a partying mood after the lockdowns and we started to run out of alcohol during dinner. Carly sent someone to buy more so the party could continue. She also packed up anything we left behind and delivered our decorations and my bouquet to my house the next day. If you're on the fence about a wedding planner or coordinator - DO IT!! This was the single thing that made the most difference on how perfect our day was!

I am not sure how anyone can have a wedding without Carly. We Carly was our day of planner…read moretechnically speaking, but I can't even imagine what it would be like to have her full services, since it truly felt like she helped us every step of the way as is. Our wedding was 135 people in Granby, CO, and Carly helped make it spectacular. Carly is incredibly knowledgable about the industry and Denver-vendors. She never led us astray with her recommendations, and gave us sound advice regarding selection of vendors based in Denver (vs mountain vendors). When we were looking into a caterer she had never worked with, she made the effort to reach out to several wedding planner friends to check in with them and get their opinions. She also kept us organized and on a timeline, and even reviewed all of our vendor contracts which is above and beyond a typical day-of planner. We communicated with her regularly starting from our engagement 1 1/2 years out from the wedding, and she was always quick to respond to emails and happy to answer any of our questions. This is very different from the policies of many of the other day-of planners we looked into, who really wouldn't get involved until 1-3 months out from the wedding. She also didn't have any rules about not responding to emails on Sundays of after-hours, which I've seen friends run into with their planners. Carly did a lot o behind-the-scenes communication with our vendors, often times without me realizing, which spared us from dealing with lots of logistical questions etc. She even sent an email out the week of our wedding, insisting that vendors use her as a primary point person from then until the wedding, so the we wouldn't be dealing with questions during the pre-wedding festivities. On the day of, she (and her assistant Ceecee!) was critical in doing everything from organizing the ceremony, directing people to where they needed to be, doing my bustle when my mother was occupied with something else, and corralled our guests to the appropriate locations as needed. You can tell that she came from New York since she is so organized, direct and efficient, which is exactly what we were looking for in a planner. I would highly recommend Carly and the MGP crew to anyone!
