Colorado Venues That Allow BRING YOUR OWN Alcohol

1/25/2022

 
My Big Day Marketing & Events has worked with many wedding venues in our 15+ years in business. We have a record number of weddings on the books for 2022, and one question we keep getting from our couples is: What Colorado venues allow me to bring my own alcohol?
 
With mobile bars and micro weddings still trending for the coming year, more and more couples are exploring wedding venues that allow them to bring in their own alcohol, with or without the requirement of a licensed bartender to serve it.
 
In all cases – based on years of experience and hundreds of weddings – we strongly recommend that you have a TIPS-certified bartender serve your guests. TIPS-certified bartenders are trained to prevent underage drinking; limit that guest who has already had plenty; prevent attendees from driving impaired; and properly report any incidents that do arise for insurance and law enforcement purposes – which benefits you and your venue.
 
Our own My Big Day team is TIPS-certified and provides bartending by the hour through On the Rocks, northern Colorado’s own luxury mobile bar and tap service. Contact us now, and let My Big Day and On the Rocks keep the drinks and the big day flowing smoothly.

The Most Beautiful Elopement Locations in Colorado and Wyoming

8/18/2020

 
Many couples – including some of our My Big Day couples – are opting to elope rather than postpone or cancel weddings due to Covid-19. We did the work and searched lists of unique elopement locations in Colorado and Wyoming – here are our top 5 picks for each state. 
Picture
Colorado
​
  1. Garden of the Gods (Colorado Springs) – This unique landscape makes a stunning ceremony backdrop. What to know: There are no permits, which means no fees, but you also can’t reserve a spot. Scope out the park for locations before you go – the possibilities are endless. No alcoholic beverages are allowed. No décor is allowed (not that you need any!), and you must follow the park’s “Leave No Trace” rules. 
Picture
2.  Maroon Bells (Aspen) – These incredible mountains are Colorado’s most photographed spot. What to know: You must reserve the amphitheater for a $200 fee to have your ceremony at the Bells. Slots are released a year in advance, and regular Bells guests are still allowed to visit the site, so weekdays are your best bet. Plan for afternoon thunderstorms in the summer. If you want fall colors, aim for September. Consider going early for stunning sunrise ceremony photos and no tourists photobombing your wedding. If you have urgent questions about your wedding or conditions at the Bells, you’ll need to call the ranger station.

​3.  Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street (Denver) – The gardens offer a wide range of backdrops, from water and rose gardens to greenhouses. Another perk: The downtown Denver location makes this a convenient site for couples. What to know: Fees vary by location in the gardens, and it can be pricey, but you will save on travel fees from your florist, photographer, and officiant. You can bring your own alcohol for an intimate couples’ champagne toast. Click HERE  to submit an inquiry.
Picture
4.  Pikes Peak (Colorado Springs) – This scenic mountaintop offers a view all the way to Kansas on clear days. What to know: No need to hike – weather permitting, you can drive to the top of Pikes Peak. No permits and no fees, but keep in mind that tourists can come and go throughout your ceremony and no décor is allowed. 
Picture
5.  Guanella Pass (Georgetown) – A valley with breathtaking blue-green hills and water features. This is a fantastic backdrop for moody photos that are even more stunning during cloudy summer afternoons. What to know: No permits, no fees, no reservations. 


Wyoming

1.  St. Alban’s Chapel (Centennial) – Historic, open-air chapel surrounded by beautiful scenery, including a lake. What to know: The chapel is usually accessible only in the late summer. It must be reserved for a small fee through St. Matthew’s Cathedral.  Despite being called a chapel, the structure is very old and not quite a building, so there are no restrooms. You will not be allowed to decorate the structure because of its age, but you won’t need to! 

2.  Lake Marie (Medicine Bow National Forest) – A beautiful, green-blue lake with a snowy mountain backdrop. What to know: This location is drive-up friendly, but only accessible during the late summer when Highway 130 is open. Click HERE to see whether the area is currently open. No permits, no fees, no guaranteed reservations.
Picture
3.  Schwabacher Landing (Grand Teton National Park) – A spectacular viewpoint on Snake River with easy access to the water and reflections of the majestic Teton Mountains. What to know: Snowy spring and winter weather can make the gravel road impassable, so plan for a summer or fall ceremony. Bring your camera for wildlife sightings. No permits, no fees, no guaranteed reservations and no decorations allowed. Note that the area is popular with fishermen and tourists snapping photos. 

4.  The Wedding Tree (Jackson Hole) – Aptly named, the tree provides a natural arch to get married under with a view of the Grand Tetons in the background. What to know: You will need to take a trail from the parking lot (about 5 minutes), and then get off the trail to access the tree, so carry your heels and put them on at the tree. Camping is no longer allowed. A permit is required; contact the Bridger-Teton National Forest Office at (307) 739-5500. Aim for a fall or summer event so the roads aren’t snowed out. 

5.  Albany County Courthouse (Laramie) – If the wilderness isn’t your style, consider getting married at the Albany County Courthouse in Laramie and taking photos in front of the picturesque building. What to know: You will need to make your own arrangements for an officiant. If you would like to get married in the courthouse, there are several judges who perform marriage ceremonies, or you may bring your own ordained minister; contact information can be found HERE. As with any wedding in Wyoming, a marriage license is required prior to the ceremony. Ceremony fees vary by officiant. Same-sex marriages are allowed under Wyoming law. 
​
You don’t have to cancel your wedding if you were planning to get married this year. We believe the only ingredients required for a wedding are two people who want to spend their lives together.

My Big Day loves a challenge and we love giving back to our community. This event had everything... details details details....

We were tasked with finding 'homes' for 300 Blue Federal Credit Union employees to volunteer at on ONE day.  We called and emailed non-profits up and down the front range to get enough work for everyone to do ON THE SAME DAY.

Habitat for Humanity of Colorado and Habitat for Humanity of Laramie rose to the challenge and hosted our 300+ volunteers giving them a variety of tasks, allowing them to fulfill their missing of "Doing Good" in our community!
​
Below are some photos from the 7 locations we served at.  We helped to build and clean up 17 houses!

As our loyal party attendees know, My Big Day has been hosting a NYE party every year for countless years!  This year we are taking a brief hiatus, as the owner of My Big Day will be 9 months pregnant on New Years Eve. While we could still host an AMAZING party for everyone, we also have a very large wedding that same day...and want to be sure we offer the quality service and focus we pride ourselves on.
Even though we won't be hosting our huge annual party in 2015, we wanted to provide our loyal party attendees with some options in Northern Colorado to hold you over until 2016!

Brew Year’s Eve

A "Blush & Bashful" Wedding

9/5/2015

 
Picture
My Big Day was honored to be a part of Dave & Amanda's BIG DAY! We worked with this couple for nearly a year on their wedding plans. Their sweetness was contagious!

When we finally narrowed down the colors Amanda pictured for her reception, she decided on shades of pink. Of course, we immediately thought of the movie, "Steel Magnolias."  We called this the "Blush and Bashful" wedding!

Dave & Amanda's wedding day was very traditional. They said their vows in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greeley, CO. We then went to the lovely Brookside Gardens in Berthoud, CO for the reception.  While it was the hottest day of the summer, Amanda and Dave remained cool - completely in love and glowing as they were surrounded by their closest friends and family.

At the end of the day, a rainbow appeared just in time for photos!

Site Review: Platte River Fort

8/18/2015

 
Picture
Recently the My Big Day Team visited the Platte River Fort in Greeley, CO.  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!

Picture
Picture
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.
