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. Shawna truly cared about us and ensured we had an amazing time - which we did, truly the best weekend of our lives! Thank you for everything, Shawna!

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.

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!

We initially thought we did not want a wedding planner. But our wedding venue, Piney River Ranch,…read morerequired a "day of" wedding planner. After interviewing several on their list of preferred vendors, we were relieved to find Marguerite and we feel fortunate we were able to work with her. She takes time to get to know the people she is working with and has a wonderful and thoughtful way of figuring out what is wanted and needed. Further, she makes things come together without fuss or fanfare. She is attentive to details but keeps sight of the "forest" in addition to the "trees". We had some unusual requests and she handled them beautifully. Our officiant had had bad experiences with Wedding Planners and he was less than keen to have to someone else "running the show". Marguerite was not offended by his request that she be to the side and take instructions from the officiant during the wedding. We wanted a low key wedding with the focus being the beautiful views and the wildflower meadows present at the venue. We did not want traditional wedding flower arrangements. We wanted to use river rocks and greenery on the tables along with the battery operated candles required by the venue. Marguerite kindly stored the battery operated candles I found so we had ones we liked. She helped us work with a florist to come up with greenery that was just right. Once Marguerite understood the look we were trying to achieve, she worked with us and the tables looked lovely. She even helped collect natural river stones which she then put back in the river. She has a deep rolodex of people with whom she works and we have no doubt what ever kind of wedding you dream of Marguerite can help you make it happen.

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 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.

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.
