 Guests were greeted with friendly faces from the My Big Day team at check-in. Wife Talk chose to host this event at the new Residence Inn by Marriott in Breckenridge.  Brie from the Breckenridge Tourism Office helped our guests prior to the retreat and upon check-in with booking activities and deciding upon the best way to spend their time while visiting!
The full day of sessions started off with some early risers, eager to to absorb - and of course with prayer!  More sessions and break-outs took place throughout the day. The hotel had wonderful accommodations and very helpful staff!  Lunch and dinner were provided by Gilchrist catering, a staple in Breck.
Of course, it wouldn't be a My Big Day event without signature cocktails and ample signage!  Thank you to our gracious clients from Wife Talk and for all the hospitable folks in Breckenridge who help make lodging and having fun easy!  Contact My Big Day "Dream Big, Live Big.

Once again, set in her beautiful back-yard, Nancy chose to offer a variety of brunch treats, drinks, and delightful décor. The champagne was flowing, as were the Mimosas and Bloody Mary drinks! Fresh Plate Catering created a stunning and tasty display of delicious brunch offerings such as donut kabobs, egg pinwheels and potatoes, Bloody Mary Shooters with Shrimp, and a colorful fruit salad. Starlight Dessert Bar brought back their magical assortments of finger desserts and treats. All of Nancy’s guests enjoyed brunch while visiting with each other and playing bridal shower games. 
 Nancy’s God-Daughter, Ashley, spent the late morning surrounded by women and family members who showered her with gifts, advice, and love. We were so excited to once again be part of such a special moment, and we wish Ashley and her fiancé all the best in their upcoming wedding!

It was only fitting that the celebration of their marriage combined the love and support of their “close to home” families and friends with a “global flair”!
The couple was actually married in a beautiful ceremony in Italy in early August. They chose Italy because Eric’s Mother is of Italian descent, and there was a long generational tradition of being married in a particular Italian church, graced with Frescas painted by world famous artist, Donatello.
After traveling with family to celebrate their marriage in beautiful Italy, the couple continued the celebration of their love in a reception set on Brittany’s parents’ Timnath property. The location was simply stunning with mountain vistas to the west, fields and grasslands to the east, and a gem of a newly constructed barn in the middle that housed the cocktail reception kick off.  The celebration started with cocktails and a delightful anti-pasta spread - catered by 3 Tomatoes from Denver in the gorgeous barn. This barn was not your typical farm barn. This barn - or, house, was constructed with rich finishes and beautiful accessories, and included a full service French-Country kitchen and Horseshoe Shaped Bar that could sit up to 15 people at a time! Guests were treated to delicious food and drink, and mingled with Brittany, Eric, and their families. 
After cocktail hour, the party moved to an expansive tent, decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, drapery, lights and stunning table decor - provided by Palmer Flowers of Fort Collins. Guests enjoyed more delicious food provided once again by 3 Tomatoes - luscious salads, roasted veggies, Ratatouille pasta, Lemon Glazed Chicken, and freshly sliced Prime Rib. Spirits were served table to table and at two beautifully decorated bars, located just outside of the tent.
 There were heartfelt toasts and dancing to live music provided by the Diamond Empire Band. Brittany, Eric, and all of their guests celebrated in beautiful style all evening long!  This gorgeous event wouldn’t have been possible without the detailed vision provided by WhiteTine Interiors, Brittany and her mother, Renee. Eric and Brittany’s personalities were highlighted in all the special details, from photos fresh from their Italian dream wedding, to the little touches of Italy and all of their world travels, in the selections of food and other decor.
My Big Day was honored to be part of this wonderful celebration of love!

Recently we were asked to put together a birthday party for 100+ people in less than 3 weeks, with only one item secured.... An Eagles Tribute Band. We were asked to book all the rentals, catering, sweets, find decor, florals, manage band details, and the bar menu. Done!
All of the My Big Day planners got together and discussed what we knew so far... and came up with a concept. We were going to plan the party elements around the Eagles Tribute band and give the entire party a "Hotel California" theme. In everything we managed, we wove in "Spanish Missionary" elements, steering clear of something that looked too much like a fiesta!
 We decided to go with multiple food stations and name each of them after an Eagles song. In addition to the signs at each food station, we incorporated sheet music from those songs. We added additional Spanish elements like authentic serving-ware, authentic maracas, serapes, and brightly colored fabrics.
Palmer Flowers created stunning arrangements for us based off of some photo inspiration we submitted. We had a combination of florals, stones and succulents. In addition to the decor, we created a tequila bar with amazing variety! We offered 11 creative margarita's named after the birthday girl's good friends. 
The menu for the evening was created by Spice of Life and mirrored our 'Spanish Missionary' theme and station names. Yum!
We provided cupcakes from Cupcake Libations that had wonderfully spirited flavors: Margarita, Chocolate Habenero, and Cinnamon Churro!
Even the restrooms had decor tying the theme together, with original record albums from the Eagles.
Our guests had a great time dancing to "The Long Run" and continued to dance through 3 encores!

After their first venue didn't work out, and we had to switch to a plan B just a month prior to the wedding, the bride stayed cool and calm, knowing that we would still pull off an amazing wedding! The scenery was stunning, all of their out-of-state guests loved our local food trucks, and everyone danced until the very end of the night! It was definitely a wedding we will always remember. 
My Big Day had the pleasure of planning Kurt & Jaimie's wedding at Lyons Riverbend, Colorado. What a beautiful backdrop for a ceremony & reception! The Lyons Farmette and Riverbend are known for their flowers and DIY event space... but they are also know for their tiny houses on the property - that you can rent! Below are some photos from Jaimie & Kurt's Big Day, as well as a list of the amazing vendors who made their day so very special! Photographer: Dawson Swan

This "Vintage Themed Birthday" had all the personal touches you'd expect for a BIG birthday!

This needle in a haystack of a venue is the perfect place for a family reunion, corporate retreat, or large party! The venue bodes a variety of options... There is a large dining room that seats 50 people indoors, a courtyard with porch and patios, a party barn that can seat 250 guests, fire pits, yard games, and an upper deck that offers the best views in the area! Packages are available for every season. You can rent out the entire facility, or just pieces of it. We found the pricing to be very reasonable! With barn weddings and Western weddings and events being so popular in Colorado, the Platte River Fort is an ideal place for the person looking for a rustic environment that just so happens to be upscale!
As far as the TOP selling points are concerned.... we love that this venue is located off a main road (34), so it's easy for your guests to get to. The ambiance feels like you are in another time... back in the old west! There is lodging available onsite - a rarity for unique venues like this. But best of all.... you can BRING YOUR OWN CATERER, and you can BRING YOUR OWN ALCOHOL! Licensed vendors are required of course. ***Should you need help planning your event at the Fort, My Big Day has both the experience necessary for a DIY venue such as this, and ALL of our team members are Tips Certified, allowing us to serve alcohol at this venue.
