I can't say enough amazing things about Lilli Black the Sweetly Paired team! My husband and I were…read moreplanning a wedding at the top of a 12,000 ft mountain, in mid-December, while living 3,300 miles away in Honolulu. Lilli was a godsend from day 1! Over an entire year of planning, the team constantly kept checking with us, even when there was nothing yet to do, and helped us make every important decision along the way. They come prepared with a list of outstanding vendors, and all you have to do is choose which best suits you. When the day finally came, everything was so well planned that literally all we had to do was wake up and start enjoying ourselves. Everyone always talked about how stressful a wedding can be for the couple, but I can honestly say that my husband and I were able to enjoy every single minute of that day thanks to Sweetly Paired and the incredible vendors who put it all together for us. 10/10 would do it all over again the same way!

I'm composing this review after several years of marriage because I wanted to ensure that my…read moreassessment is not influenced by the intense emotions associated with wedding planning. I engaged Lilli's services because she claimed to have experience with my chosen venue in Aspen. However, when I inquired about my entrance, she couldn't provide a clear answer. On the actual wedding day, she seemed unsure of how I should make my entrance down the aisle. She later mentioned that she had given me options for the entrance just moments before I was due to walk down. Why should such a critical decision be left until the most nerve-wracking moment? Lastly, we had a flower girl and her mother who arrived late to the rehearsal, meaning we couldn't practice their roles. Lilli failed to communicate the necessary instructions to them after they entered, leading to the flower girl becoming upset and wandering aimlessly during the ceremony. When we confronted these issues to her next day, she said "if this is going to ruin your wedding, your marriage is not going to last" If you want to hear this after your wedding day, please hire her

From proactive, detailed checklists and periodic check-ins to developing last-minute contingency rain plans, Mariah thoughtfully helped execute our vision to a T.

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.

WOW. Abbey was…read moreINCREDIBLE and a total VISIONARY! Not only did she create a STUNNING design board that led all of the creative/design meetings with vendors; But she took a "feeling" that I had of "romantic, moody, fall" and TURNED IT INTO AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WEDDING. It was so special to see her ability to hear the vague words and create my perfect vision for my day that all of our guests commented was "so Ashli and Brad." On top of being a design queen, she also wrangled my bridal party and vendors and kept us on track day of (really month of, I did mostly nothing). She even got us caught up timeline-wise when I was about half an hour late to the venue! I cannot recommend Abbey enough. She is an absolute delight.

Abbey was the ideal wedding planner for our August 2022 wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. Throughout…read morethe planning process she was full of great ideas on design and provided excellent feedback to our plans, including on vendors we were hiring. She was always prompt to reply (even when we were less than prompt) and is an all-around excellent communicator, both via email and over the phone. The month of, Abbey was on top of absolutely everything, including making sure our schedule was in good shape, dealing with vendors, and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her presence removed a considerable amount of stress in an obviously stressful time. The wedding weekend was everything we hoped for and then some, in significant part thanks to Abbey. We couldn't be happier that we hired her!

I was completely overwhelmed at the thought of planning a wedding, but from our very first…read moreconversation, Claire immediately put me at ease. She didn't just feel like a wedding planner -- she felt like a close friend from the start. Claire took the time to genuinely get to know both my husband and I, listening carefully to what mattered most to us and making sure every detail of our day felt personal, intentional, and uniquely us. Throughout the planning process, Claire was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. Her eye for detail and ability to turn ideas into something beautiful and cohesive was amazing. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. She handled every detail behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy each moment without stress or worry. Four years later, we still look back on our wedding with so much gratitude, and Claire is a huge reason why. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, I cannot recommend Claire enough. She is warm, professional, deeply caring, and absolutely exceptional at what she does. We would choose her again in a heartbeat.

I wasn't even originally going to get a day of coordinator until I chatted with a friend of mine, and she told me that your day of coordinator will help you enjoy every inch of your wedding day. She could not have been more correct, because I feel like Kimë and her assistant Byers took such good care of me and my husband the entire day. Leading up to the wedding, Kimë was warm and kind, but was also organized, direct, and knew how to get things done. She made it so easy for us to know exactly what she needed during the planning process. The feeling of having that weight lifted from your shoulders as a bride is priceless, and my husband and I were able to go into our wedding day with a clear head. I would recommend A Touch of Bliss and Kimë a million times over.

Throughout every moment - the tour, the booking process, planning meetings, detail calls - all the way up until the very last minute, this team ensured everything went seamlessly. My husband and I are the only members in our family who live in Colorado and were looking for an all-inclusive venue to assist us throughout wedding planning so it wasn't so stressful on us solely. Black Forrest absolutely BLEW our expectations out of the water. We used every vendor recommended by the venue - they were all wonderful! Rev. John made our ceremony beautiful and personable. Maggie K. With DJ Maestro kept our group dancing all night long and kept everything SO fun for us! If you're looking for younger music - SHE'S YOUR GIRL! Huge shoutout to Mo @ Black Forrest, she walked us through every step of the process and made us feel so comfortable and supported. Katelyn and other staff Lexi, Dave, Cordelia and Mike were amazing during reception as well and kept the celebration rolling! My husband and I truly enjoyed our experience and would recommend Black Forrest @ Wedgewood a million times. The only disadvantage to Wedgewood is their payment process - you must reach out to the venue every time before you make a payment to get a secure link. You don't have 24/7 access to a payment account and can not pay any amount at will. However, the staff do their very best at responding to emails and calls when those links are requested!
