 The Christmas spirit was extended into early January with Blue’s holiday party, built around the storyline from the classic holiday tale - A Christmas Story! Guests were transported back to a simpler time with specialized photobooth backdrops, food, and decor reminiscent of Ralphie’s childhood home in the 1950’s. The Marriott Fort Collins hosted us again and tables were decorated with kitchen colanders in honor of Mother Parker’s holiday culinary feats, Red Ryder BB guns, and of course, the famous “Fragile” Leg Lamps. The only thing missing was a bar serving large glasses of Ovaltine! (Note - there were three open bars for the guests to imbibe from!)
 The evening was full of fellowship between all the various bank branches, company recognitions and awards, and of course dancing! Music and emceeing was provided by our favorite entertainer - DJ Kaaos! Activities also included a costume contest, and door prize drawings for all of the table centerpieces. 
Blue Federal Credit Union is one of our favorite clients to work with, and we were once again pleased to be part of the planning for their always fun company holiday party!

We had a wonderful time on NYE, and it sounds like all of our guests did too! We officially SOLD OUT early in the day on 12/31. We hated having to turn people away. Next year, plan for a sell out again, and get your tickets early! We've already committed to a 2018 ball with the Hilton. Tickets will go on sale in November again this year.
We are really proud of how our vignettes turned out and were SO pleased at how many folks took photos in them! We've already started working on the 2018 theme and vignette ideas!  Thank you for the MANY compliments we received about our DJ selection. DJ Kaaos is one of our FAVORITE DJs in Colorado, and we love that YOU love him too!  Putting on an event of this size and with this level of detail is no small feat. We cannot do it without all of the parties involved. Thank you to DJ Kaaos for keeping us dancing, Arcadian Pictures and Zebrajellyfish for capturing the event, Robin Rentals, our favorite bakeries B Sweet Cupcakes, Starlight Dessert Bar and Taste Local. Thank you to the Nanny Brigade for offering childcare services, Dora Grace for the amazing formal attire deals, Court Designs for the logo, our professional dancers, and the entire My Big Day event planning team for your hard work!

New Year's Eve in Northern Colorado - Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Timnath, Berthoud, Estes Park, Longmont Sugar, Butter, Flour……….baking from the heart! In the musical, Waitress, the protagonist, Jenna, expresses her hopes, dreams, and fears through the whimsically named pies she creates and bakes each morning. Like Jenna, the owners and lovely people at the newest Downtown Fort Collins attraction, Ginger and Baker, had dreams of their own - specifically of opening a little pie shop where people could gather in fellowship and with food. They put their hopes and dreams to work, and their vision expanded from pies to much, much more.  The My Big Day team had the opportunity to take a private tour of the amazing new facility, and let’s just say we were blown away. The love, details, and innovation that went into the remodel of the Old Feeders Supply Company building, a staple of downtown Fort Collins since 1905, was apparent the moment we walked in. The coffee and bake shop were full of wonderful scents and cozy decor. The new building additions of the The Cache restaurant and patios offered a nice modern flare to the historic landmark, blending the past with the present and future. No detail in design was overlooked, making the entire facility a site to see!
 Our tour took us through all seven of Ginger and Baker’s unique spots: The Market & Bakery, The Cafe, The Teaching Kitchen, both levels of The Cache Restaurant, The Rooftop Bar, and two separate special event spaces - one upstairs in the old building, and a beautiful wine cellar below. All of our planners were giddy with all of the future event possibilities that Ginger and Baker could hold!
 There is event space for small groups such as book clubs, date nights, and small corporate functions, as well as larger spaces for holiday parties and receptions. We were so impressed and excited, we booked a reservation on the spot for our upcoming team Christmas party!
We couldn’t be more thrilled to promote this gem of an entertainment spot, and cannot wait to see the impact that this “little slice of heaven” has in Northern Colorado! *See our slide show below...

Sometimes, My Big Day wedding planners are brought in at the last minute, for “day of” only help. Other times, we are fortunate enough to work with a couple, crafting and creating THE perfect day from start to finish. While we are always happy to fill either role, crafting a couple’s dream wedding vision from start to finish is always a labor of love and considered a privilege. Craig & Catherine Harrison had a vision for their Big Day, and we had the privilege of making that dream come true!  Craig and Catherine dreamed of celebrating with friends and family on their family owned ranch located just outside of Timnath, Colorado. Their expansive property was the perfect place to not only be wed to to each other, but to also combine their love of their new longhorn cattle herd operation and new show barn, with Catherine’s fondness of all things glamorous and shiny! Open pastures, bubbling brooks, and painted mountains provided the perfect backdrop for this dream wedding, and the newly constructed show barn offered the perfect spot for a festive cocktail hour and dancing.  As wedding planners, we always have an eye for detail - small details and touches pack a punch and can pull everything together. Catherine was all about the details - from the feminine and soft floral arrangements hand picked and held in family heirloom vases, to the old books and picture frames, repurposed as barn decor. She pulled this vision of “high sophistication with a rustic flare” together with antique furniture, lace and tulle, wine barrels, and candlelight provided by sparkly votive jars. The floral arrangements that were placed throughout the ceremony site, barn, and dining tent were simply stunning.
Our job of pulling all of the details together began early on September 16. Our team oversaw the set up the ceremony site and stage - complete with a hand made lectern provided by our groom, Craig. We worked closely with florist, Lace and Lillies as well as baker, Sarah B's Bakery, to place floral displays throughout the venue, as well as a delicious dessert bar, located in the barn. Caterers Juli y Juan, and their team worked to create flawless displays of tasty dishes, hand picked by the bride and groom for their guests. First look and pre-ceremony photos took place throughout the property, and were lovingly captured by Ash Meier Weddings and Arcadian Pictures.
