As the MOB living in Connecticut, when my daughter let me know that she wanted to get married in…read morethe mountains of Colorado my first thought was panic! How was I going to help her plan a wedding that was not in her hometown in Connecticut? We definitely needed a planner to help. We interviewed several planners and my daughter and now son-in-law felt that Casey was the only one we interviewed that spent the time to get to know them and find out what they wanted in their vision of a wedding verses just telling them all the services they provide. Casey was asking how they met, what they liked to do in their free time and what was the vibe they were going for with the wedding. I felt confident that Casey would help them plan a wedding that was perfect for THEM. I wanted to be included in the planning process and Casey had no problem with this so I would be conferenced in on any calls and looped in on all the emails. Casey was very patient throughout the planning process from the number of site visits she went on to find the perfect venue to answering all the little questions we had. Casey helped us find the perfect venue that fit all the characteristics the B+G explained to her in the initial interview. At first, we signed up for "day of" planning because of expense but added the "full service" planning when we decided the venue we chose would end up being like a destination wedding where no guest lived locally so the whole weekend needed to be planned from Friday through Sunday. I am so glad we did this because Casey stepped right in and helped us with all the details! Casey is very organized and helped keep the B+G on schedule with their tasks so it never seemed overwhelming throughout the whole planning process. She recommended some great vendors! Casey went through each contract to make sure all contracts were good even before forwarding them to me to review and kept me on schedule with payments needed for all vendors so I never missed a payment. Casey was great with communication and would often answer an email on her day off even though I didn't expect an answer right away. I think Casey really excelled with logistics and design so when the time came, the wedding was flawless! All of our guests commented on how well everything came together and how beautiful the wedding was. The weekend of the wedding was amazing, the B+G and I showed up and were allowed to be just guests for the whole weekend! We did not need to worry about a thing because Casey and Jessica handled everything! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I did not find out about a problem that happened during the weekend until after the brunch when my sister let me know that she was having such trouble with the altitude right before the ceremony that Casey got her some oxygen and set her up in a place to see the ceremony where she did not have to walk. I did not even notice that this was going on. There was no doubt that Casey did not want the B+G nor me to be troubled with anything over the weekend and what a joy that was to not have that stress! When first interviewing planners I thought they were, as a whole, expensive and was a little worried with the cost of them, however, I can honestly say Casey and Aspen & Ivy are well worth the expense! Casey, I really enjoyed working with you. I felt that through the process you became more of a friend than vendor we had contracted! We definitely could not have pulled off such a beautiful event without you!

It was a celebration of our 70th birthdays and the completion of the personal goal of hiking all the National Parks. We worked closely with Casey to plan a weekend event that included multiple meals, nightly entertainment and daily activities for 120 people, Casey is extremely organized and kept my husband and I on task by helping with an ongoing list of chores, dates and goals. She gently advised us on everything including, caterers, food, alcohol, flowers, and invitations. During the weekend Casey worked behind the scenes to make sure everything ran perfectly. We were particularly impressed when she was the last one to bed because she was running the vacuum at night to make sure the space was in perfect order for Saturday breakfast. This is the very first time we've ever used a party planner and we are so glad we did. Three months later our friends are still raving about the weekend and how well organized it was. It did help that we had the party at Estes Park on a glorious fall weekend. Casey didn't plan that. If you are planning a wedding, a family reunion, or a birthday party and looking for some an event planner who is organized, well-connected, and at a reasonable price, Pink Diamond Party Events should be your very first call.

They even used the front yard space and driveway to make a beautiful sit down area with low benches and pillows with lace wrapping around the yard to make for an intimate and private event. The way they transformed the space was magical and I'll never forget this wedding.

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!

September 28, 2022…read more I decided to wait until after our daughter's wedding to post this negative review of Libbi Alcorn and her company, Luxe Event Productions, LLC. I hired Libbi on March 4, 2022 as a full-service wedding planner for our daughter's wedding in Fort Collins on September 4, 2022. While I was optimistic and positive about hiring her initially, the result of this decision ended up as one of the worst experiences of my life. Since I was planning this wedding from out-of-state, I wanted an experienced wedding planner to find and work with all the necessary vendors to build a wedding venue on my daughter's horse ranch. I interviewed Libbi and communicated what I wanted and needed from a wedding planner. Libbi assured me she would find and secure the vendors and help me with all the aspects of the wedding planning process to their conclusion. Initially I was pleased and optimistic about my decision to hire Libbi. She was pleasant, seemed knowledgeable about vendors and whom I should hire. Early on, she contacted an outstanding DJ (Brandon Harrington of Suit and Tie DJ Professionals) and I secured the contract for his services. She also initiated contact with a rental company to order a tent and other necessities. As the weeks passed, critical wedding vendors had not been contacted or secured. I would email and text Libbi for updates and seldom received a response. I had to initiate almost all communications, asking her to schedule conference calls, inquiring about what progress she had made with regard to securing vendors, etc. Libbi and I had approximately 4 phone sessions in 3 months, during which we discussed long lists of items that needed finalizing. I was hopeful that she would follow through with her promises, but time passed and nothing changed. Here is a partial list of Libbi's lack of follow through as a wedding planner: On March 18, 2022 I asked about an officiant, and Libbi said she had the perfect choice. He was available, and I asked her to send me his contract. Over the weeks and months, I continued to inquire about the officiant and eventually, she admitted, he was no longer available. I asked her to secure a videographer, whom she said was excellent (and available), then weeks later he was inexplicably unavailable. I asked her to find and secure another videographer. She said she was doing "research" on them but she never followed through with a recommendation or a contract. In our initial conversation, Libbi emphasized the importance of securing a good photographer. My daughter wanted to hire a photographer she had used in the past for her wedding. Libbi had reservations about my daughter's choice and told me she would contact her immediately to ensure she would be a good fit. After months of not receiving a contract nor any communication about the photographer, I called her and she said she had never been contacted by Libbi and was wondering if we still wanted her to do our wedding! I followed through and secured her contract myself. Libbi provided input on available caterers and asked me to select three and select the food items I would like to sample (which I did in short order), so she could contact the caterers, get bids, and set up tastings. I waited weeks for her to get back to me. In advance of a visit I was making to Fort Collins, I reiterated my desire to have the tastings scheduled. When I met Libbi during my visit, she had not set up one tasting and informed me that our number one choice for caterer was now unavailable. I then had to set up my own tasting by going to the caterer's restaurant, contacted the catering manager, ironed out all the details (which took days of communication), and secured their services. Libbi never once communicated with our caterer. Early on, Libbi created a wedding board and said she would post ideas on it (and asked me to do the same) so we could establish a unified wedding plan and scheme. I posted 99% of the ideas and Libbi only made one or two comments on all my posts. We never discussed the information on the wedding board, and after I terminated her services, she pulled the wedding board so I would not have access to it. Libbi told me she was "almost finished with our wedding budget" mid-April but I never received any budget-related information. On April 11, I asked Libbi for names of 2 florists so I could call them and visit their shops to discuss wedding flowers during my upcoming stay in Colorado. She did not provide me with any names. One month later, Libbi set up an initial phone meeting with a florist, whom I really liked. I did not receive any follow up information from Libbi about the floral contract. After I terminated Libbi, I called the florist and she said she had reached out to Libbi on three separate occasions about the wedding flowers but she had never responded. Libbi promised to help me with the creation and ordering of the wedding invitations, yet provided no assistance. I sing
