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!

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.

Not sure how this women is a wedding planner or how she even has a 5 star review!?! This is the…read morereason I hired her but soon I would regret it. I hired Priscilla for the entire planning of my wedding which was 3,000 she collected half upfront and the rest would be 2 weeks before my wedding. From the very beginning, I had a bad feeling about working with this planner. She was often unresponsive to my emails and calls, even during the crucial stage of finding my venue. I personally set up about 10 venue appointments, while she only arranged 4. I was already close to firing her and had even started a claim with my bank to recover my $1,500 deposit. Once she realized how serious I was, she apologized and promised to improve -- and unfortunately, I decided to give her a second chance. She did help me find a florist that matched my vision, and I am grateful for that. However, that small success does not make up for her overall lack of follow-through. Afterward, her effort quickly declined again. I had to repeatedly reach out and remind her to help me find a bakery for my cake, which she never did beyond contacting one vendor that didn't work out. When I asked her for a general sequence of events for the wedding (so I could plan the timing of the toast, cake cutting, and dancing), instead of providing guidance, she just sent me a list of questions. After that, communication dropped off completely. Now, with only three months left before my wedding, she still hadn't checked in or offered any help. I decided to terminate her services, and she dismissed my concerns as "anxiety toward wedding planning." In reality, I paid her $3,000 and received little to no results. Please be aware and make sure you truly connect with and vet your vendors before signing a contract. I am still trying to reach a resolution, but she remains unresponsive. I intend to pursue this matter fully, as it's unfair for professionals to take advantage of clients during such important moments. BE AWARE.

Where do I begin writing about my experience with Emily Campbell of Bella Design? She was the…read moreconsummate professional from the get-go. I can't begin to describe how effortless Emily made the planning process though we were a thousand miles apart and sometimes even a half a world apart. She was always prompt with responses and we were able to count on her to execute every detail that needed overseeing from afar. Honestly, there were times that we were unable to give her sufficient notice regarding requests and she graciously and gracefully accommodated each and everyone. Weddings are a stressful affair. To try and plan one in 3.5 months seems impossible. Not true when you have someone like Emily in your corner. She was genuinely interested in making everyone happy but staying true to my original vision. She fought hard to protect the elements that meant a lot to me and there is no way to adequately thank her for that. Emily has a natural talent when it comes to event planning as evidence by her composure, timeliness, willingness to adapt and doing it all with the warmest of smiles on her face. My husband, our families and I genuinely believe we were blessed to have Emily by our side. She made our dream wedding a reality. Her eye for detail, her organizational abilities and her extensive knowledge of vendors in the Breckenridge/Vail area alleviated much of the guesswork when it came to picking vendors such as the florist, DJ, decor and even stationary. I am actually sad that the wedding is now over because I miss my regular interactions with Emily. She was such a beacon of hope and positivism at times where I was unable to manufacture my own. Her strength, charisma and wit came to our rescue every single time we needed it because they were contagious. Emily was our Knight in Shining Armor and when we think back on our wedding, we will also fondly think of Emily.

Each party had a different theme and not only did she play music that went along perfectly with the theme - she played good music that everybody loved - not random stuff for the sake of sticking with the theme. You could tell she did her research for each of the themes and she knows what people want to listen to! Also - she was always willing to take requests which really appealed to the music lovers in the room. Truly - the parties prior to hiring DJ Ryo were what you expected of work parties - LAME: people awkwardly standing around, only staying long enough to redeem their free drink and exchange a few niceties. When DJ Ryo was DJing it was like being at a dance party! Everybody danced until we were kicked out of the establishment due to our rental time being up. The parties were a hit with everyone and were talked about at work long after the music stopped. The music really brought everyone together. I will definitely hire her again - she is well worth the money! Her sound system is awesome and she even had lights for our dance floor.
