 We love it when a client allows us to take an element and create an entire theme and party concept around it! 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!

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.

We are seeing some exciting wedding trends for 2015! My Big Day loves working with brides who have a vision and are willing to try new things. With every wedding season trends change and we can see patterns in popularity. Here is what we are seeing for 2015: Destination Weddings to the Colorado Mountains: Living and having a business based in Colorado, we see 'mountain themed' weddings all the time. But in 2015 we are seeing more destination weddings to the Colorado mountains than ever! We have brides coming from out of state and getting married in Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Estes park, Vail, Beaver Creek, Granby, and Steamboat Springs. Why are mountain weddings so popular? We think it's because a wedding outdoors makes for great photos, Colorado has reliable weather, and Colorado is more affordable than having your friends and family fly to Bora Bora for your destination!

Classic Making a Comeback: Everything old is new again! Simple elegance, white, gold accents, distinguished details... We are seeing the word "Classic" everywhere! Think lace... pastel pink... fine china ... crystal.... what weddings were, and are again! CLICK HERE for more wedding inspiration on Pinterest!
Laser-Cut Wedding Invitations: In 2015 laser cut and laser scribed invitations have definitely become popular. We are seeing "Classic" make a comeback, and laser cut invitations are a statement piece that can convey a classic theme to your guests. With the array of designs and intricacies available, these invitations set the tone of a wedding! They are great for Save the Dates too! We received this laser scribed invitation from bride, Alicia: 
"Frozen" Winter Weddings: Blame it on Disney... weddings are not just for the summer (they never really have been). But more than ever, winter weddings are gaining in popularity. And why not!?! Snow makes the perfect background for soft, clean, sparkly elegance! CLICK HERE for additional winter wedding inspiration on Pinterest.
Wedding Cinematography: Forget the words "wedding video." Wedding movies are the new trend! My Big Day has worked with some incredible videographers who turn weddings into short films. We LOVE this trend! Below is a wedding film from one of our recent weddings: Craft Beer Weddings: Being from Colorado, and having a business in Northern Colorado, "The Napa of Beer"... we find that craft beer has made it's way into the wedding scene - BIG TIME! Signature cocktails will always be a fun offering for guests. But local, craft beer and spirits make your Big Day a celebration of you, and where you are from!

This package includes a coffee tasting at Loco Artisan Coffeehouse, a beer and brunch pairing at Loveland Aleworks and a beer tasting paired with B.

Transportation between venues will be provided by NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC. Both packages include time for guests to stroll through Loveland’s Fire & Ice winter festival that takes place annually in downtown Loveland over Valentine’s Day weekend. “My Big Date is a great way to introduce people to Loveland,” said Martz-Mayfield. “It’s an introduction to our active brewery scene, our distillery scene and an opportunity to show off downtown.” All 42 participants will receive a gift bag filled with Loveland swag, such as coupons, beer tokens, chocolate and more. In addition, each couple will also receive the book entitled, “14 Days of Foreplay,” by marriage and family therapist, Monica L.
