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.

Kate and the entire Gold Leaf Event team were a dream to work with. We came to Kate with a vague…read moreidea for a wedding weekend celebration, but did not immediately have a clear vision of what we wanted. Kate expertly guided us through the process and helped us design a winter wedding celebration that was even more special than what we had hoped for. Planning a wedding in Aspen requires expert coordination, strong local vendor and venue relationships, creative problem solving, and a leader who is capable of navigating through all the inevitable twists and turns with confidence and ease. Kate and team are all of that and beyond. Their professionalism kept planning extremely manageable and most importantly, allowed us to enjoy and relish every second of our wedding weekend. Above all, Kate is an amazing person and such a pleasure to spend time with. She has incredible presence, impeccable taste, and a confidence that reassured us we were in good hands. We are so grateful to Kate and the team for being an integral part of our wedding celebration, and the memories we will hold onto forever.

From our initial meeting through the day after the wedding, she was SO helpful, organized, and fun to work with. She responded to all of our communication promptly and always had ideas, solutions, or local vendor recommendations to our wedding questions or needs. As an additional bonus, she also worked directly with a flower vendor and did a FANTASTIC job designing our wedding flowers - guests are still talking about my boutique. The day of our wedding was literally perfect thanks to Jamie. She kept everything and everyone running so smoothly and effortlessly. Thank you, Jamie for making the vision for our dream wedding come true! - Olivia & Justin, 9.16.17

Cons-if you have a larger party or want to do dancing or cocktail hour you have to have all these things spread out and it is a lot of walking up and down stairs.

Gorgeous! I…read morerecently attended a wedding ceremony here and it was perfect! So beautiful! Amazing views of the Mt. Crested Butte and all the flowers! This a great setting. As a guest, it was great. It was easy to find. It had lots of parking (and easy spots to park in). Nice views. Clean bathrooms. Places for shade. Close to the condos and the town. If I lived in Crested Butte this would definitely be the only option for a wedding venue! It is just so gorgeous. The only downside was the amount horseflies! I got mad bug bites allover during the ceremony. And I wasn't the only one. That was a common complaint amongst fellow guests. If you're considering this for your wedding, keep that in mind.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and rented out the Teocalli King Room. The sheets and bathrobes were nice, and the stand-in shower was excellent. It was quite cozy with plenty of room, storage space, and amenities to make it as comfortable of a stay as possible. Not to mention the direct access to the hot tub was a plus, which was a great addition. The host, Chris, is a superb cook and prepares a high-quality breakfast every morning of a variety of delicacies. I'm not even a fan of eggs but his Southwestern frittata has made me a believer now. He's very attentive to allergies as well and will always do his best to accommodate. My wife has a severe gluten allergy and he was always sure to supply a substitute. The only other thing he hosted regularly was beer tastings at 5, which we were unable to attend due to our plans, but he does have a nice selection of brews stored for it. The views from the B&B are great and it's located just a short walk from Elk Ave, where you'll find all the main shops and restaurants. Even closer is the bus stop that'll take you up the mountain. Overall, I cannot recommend Purple Mountain B&B for your stay. For the price point, the amenities, and level of service you're getting, it can't be beat. Definitely staying here again when we come back some day.

Not only is it cute, the location is perfect and Chris is very knowledgable....not to forget a fantastic chef! Every morning at breakfast he cooks something delicious and lets everyone know what is going on around town that day and can provide good suggestions on hikes/trails and also on restaurants. We stayed in the Crested Butte room which was cozy and reasonably priced; also took the cruiser bikes for a spin around town that are provided for our use. We LOVED our stay and absolutely will return the next time we head to Crested Butte.
