We are obsessed with the fresh, clean, and classic style of Ciara and Shane’s Woodlands wedding in Morrison, Colorado! The couple (and Mother of the Bride) paid close attention to every single detail to create a beautiful day complete with many special personal touches. The result was an unforgettable day of beauty, fun, and love! My Big Day was honored to be a part of this special celebration of their lovestory!  Guests were ushered around the stunning venue hall to a comfortable breezeway that overlooked the mountains and surrounding forest of The Woodlands just outside of Morrison, CO. They were encouraged to mingle over cool drinks and games of cornhole, or take advantage of comfy lounge chairs overlooking the venue grounds while they waited to be ushered to the ceremony site. The simple arbor that stood at the front of the ceremony isle matched the shape of the mountains that surrounded the beautiful site. Ciara and Shane took advantage of the views and nature for their decor, choosing to add only two large ferns at the back of the seating area. Guests were given packets of rose petals that they tossed after the touching ceremony and celebratory “I Do’s”!  The bride wore a beautiful lace and beaded gown while her groom looked handsome in a deep burgundy suit. The men looked dashing in black while the bridesmaids and flower girls shimmered in gold. Florals were kept sleek and simple with bouquets of gathered greenery with pops of white provided by large Mums. The reception hall was full of a mix of farmhouse tables, round banquet tables, and high-tops, encouraging guests to mingle while sampling delicious treats from the many food stations set around the room. Ciara and Shane spent extra time creating a very personalized menu that mixed food from special trips and moments in their lovestory. They had signage explaining the significance of each dish served. The food provided a window into some of the most special moments of their courtship.  From the food to the decor to the unique touches like kissing bells and a telephone guest book, this wedding was a memorable affair. It was wonderful to walk with Ciara and Shane through their planning process, and an honor to celebrate with them on their Big Day!

We have been honored at My Big Day to plan celebrations of life for a number of our clients. Planning an end-of-life event for a loved one is never easy, but we hope to inspire you with these 35 celebration of life toast ideas in their memory. A celebration of life is a ceremony celebrating a one-of-a-kind individual, your loved one. It is typically a casual, joyful, and touching event where friends and family gather to reminisce and share favorite memories of the deceased and celebrate a life well lived. A celebration of life usually follows a burial or cremation and may or may not be preceded by a formal funeral. Every time we are asked to plan a celebration of life, we treat the process and our clients with compassion, respect, and the utmost attention to detail.  35 Celebration of Life Toast Ideas Short, Simple Celebration of Life Toast Oh, here's to other meetings, And merry greetings then; And here's to those we've drunk with, But never can again. Celebration of Life Toast for a Fisherman There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. Short Quotes for a Celebration of Life Sometimes you will never know the true value of someone until they become a memory. True friends are always together in spirit. It may be a long walk, but our paths will cross again. What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others. Only a moment you stayed but what an imprint your footprints have left on our hearts. They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. . Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again. Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. I submit to you that if a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live. It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow up to be. It’s hard to turn the page when you know someone won’t be in the next chapter, but the story must go on. Death is more universal than life; everyone dies, but not everyone lives.  Nature-Inspired Celebration of Life Quotes Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow. Lives are like rivers: Eventually, they go where they must. Not where we want them to. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my own garden forever. Inspirational Celebration of Life Toasts About Dying Too Young In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. Only the good die young. Life is short. Always choose happiness. Some are bound to die young. By dying young a person stays young in people’s memory. If he burns brightly before he dies, his brightness shines for all time. As is a tale, so is a life. Not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.  Funny Celebration of Life Toast Ideas Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it. I am ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. The idea is to die young as late as possible. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome. Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people live. *********************************** According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I’m going to miss mine by just a few days. Amazing tradition. They throw a great party for you on the one day they know you can’t come. ***************************** Reach out to find out how we can help you plan a memorable celebration of life event as unique as your loved one.

Referral Programs are effective tools in converting leads and expanding your loyal customer base. What is a Referral Program for Small Business? A referral program is a word-of-mouth marketing strategy that turns your most satisfied customers into brand ambassadors. To simplify - your customers do a lot of your marketing for you! Referral programs let satisfied customers share their brand experience with partners, colleagues, and friends - providing a much larger communication web than your business could do on its own, at a fraction of the cost! The purpose of a referral program is to acquire leads and build credibility. When you ask your customers to consider others who might benefit from your product or service, they will forward leads that are already a good fit for your brand. It means you will spend less time and money on acquiring new customers - these referred clients will come in already with exposure to your business. For many, a Small Business Referral Program produces images of punch-card programs or discount coupons. These are low-budget tools that can produce results, for sure, but even small businesses can expand their reach by collecting and using data and creative communication.  How to Start Your Own Referral Program There are a variety of referral program software systems that you can research and utilize in setting up your own referral program. You can also utilize a variety of templates connected to your current CRM that allow you to create a bank of referral request emails, referral follow-up emails, social content about your business, and tools for creating a positive customer experience. That all sounds like a lot of work, but it is actually quite easy. After setting your referral program goals, start by:
 Referral Program Examples You can reap great benefits from a strong and well thought out referral program. Offering your customers an official way to spread the word about your business and rewarding them for their efforts is the name of the game! There are many creative ways in which you can launch a successful program:
There are many ways to engage with your current customers to build a quality program that will benefit your bottom line. You can increase your visibility, expand your audience base, and grow closer to your current customers, for a fraction of the cost of paid advertising.

After two years of hiccups and postponements - one for Covid, and one for an unexpected Bundle of Joy, My Big Day Couple Kristin and Gary, finally said “I Do”! Guests witnessed their vows and commitment to one another atop a mountain in the picturesque campus of the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Even though a pop-up thunderstorm threatened to dampen their ceremony, the happy couple didn’t even consider postponing their special day yet again. Kristin and Gary chose a beautiful palette of greens and blues that blended well with their mountain backdrop. Guests were served a wonderful assortment of appetizers and cool drinks before they dined on a delicious dinner of chicken and beef, provided by the YMCA’s culinary team. A Music Plus Entertainment got the crowd up on their feet in celebration on the dance floor, and guests were entertained by a slideshow of beautiful photos, displaying special moments from Kristin and Gary’s relationship. We were thrilled to be a part of this special day, centered around this precious little family. Congratulations to Kristin, Gary, and baby Zuri - may your new life together be full of many blessings and very few hiccups!
