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...

Original Ideas, superior strategies, your own private party planner. ~Event Planning, Coordination & Management~ My Big Day llc Phone: 970-613-1455 or 303-886-3068 Email Us Located in Loveland, CO As event planners, we serve the entire Front Range; Southern Wyoming, the CO Mountains, and Northern Colorado: Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Berthoud, Estes Park, Lyons, Longmont, Boulder, Wellington, Johnstown, Evans, Severance, Timnath, Mead, Frederick, Firestone, Milliken We were so in love with the photos by Ash Meier Photography, that we just had to write another blog about the Harrison Ranch wedding in Fort Collins to showcase her work!  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.

First look and pre-ceremony photos took place throughout the property, and were lovingly captured by Ash Meier Weddings and Arcadian Pictures.   Once guests arrived, we really got to work, making sure all the moving parts of the beautiful ceremony took place. The groom and all of the attendants (all grown children and grandchildren of both Craig and Catherine) departed to the far end of the ranch property to gather in the little truck, purchased and remodeled for the wedding celebration. Catherine and her little flower girl waited up at the couple’s home, ready to be brought down to the ceremony site in a beautiful horse drawn carriage, fit for a princess. The timing was perfect, and it was almost like a scene from a movie - the little red truck carrying the wedding party drove over a picturesque bridge to the ceremony site, arriving just in time for Catherine to meet them in her horse drawn carriage.    The ceremony was led by close friend, and match-maker Bill Warren, and guests watched as Craig and Catherine read their hand-written vows and exchanged rings. The acoustical music of the Jonathan Moody Band added the perfect romantic flare to the beautiful ceremony, set facing the setting mountain sun.  Once the ceremony concluded, guests made their way to the show barn for a generous cocktail hour - complete with 3 bars! Dinner was served in an adjoining tent, with beautiful table decor, placed lovingly by the bride, Catherine, and Juli & Juan’s staff. Following dinner, the party really kicked off with dancing and drinking under the light of the evening stars, right outside of the the barn. Guests could kick up their heels dancing to the Jonathan Moody Band, or they could choose to mingle around the wine barrel tables inside of the barn, or out near the fire pit, where a Cigar Bar was set for guests to try out.   The evening was full of fun, friends, family, and love! Craig and Catherine’s vision and dream was a success and perhaps, one of the most beautiful events we have had the pleasure of being a part of. We see many more parties and celebrations taking place in this beautiful spot, and we wish Craig and Catherine all the best as they begin their new life together!

In the case of Natalie's wedding, her family really just needed some help with logistics - specifically the cocktail hour, dinner buffet and cake cutting. While My Big Day is not a catering company, we will rise to any challenge, as our goal is to make your big day the best day of your life. We were happy to work with this lovely family and help them with their specific planning needs.  
 This wedding was a beautiful barn wedding on the bride’s parent’s property. The ceremony was on their beautiful lawn and reception in the barn. As soon as we arrived we hit the ground running to make sure everything was in place and the food warming before the reception started. We had about 3 hours to set everything up. It was the perfect amount of time. The critical timing came in to play as soon as we opened the buffet.
We made sure the food stayed full, we released tables smoothly so we didn’t over crowd the buffet and drinks were checked on as well. The real excitement came when it was time to tear down the buffet and make room for the dance floor. Right after we pulled all the food and moved the tables we had to pack up all the leftovers and start cutting cake simultaneously. We saved the top tier of the cake for the bride and groom so they would have that for their first anniversary. We cut up the bottom tier and served it along with the other 3 flavors. There were 4 flavors of cake. It was glorious!
Once we were finished packing up all the food and cakes for the night, we made sure the place was clean and drinks were full. We had such a lovely time at this wedding. We got to do something we rarely handle and it was splendid. The mother of the bride was our contact and she was such a sweet lady. She was so very pleased with how we handled things and we couldn’t ask for a better client. This wedding was beautiful. The barn has seen many celebrations- this was the fifth child in this family to be married here. This barn is filled with love and happiness. The family home is in the middle of the country with a lovely mountain view. You couldn’t ask for a more picturesque country, barn wedding. It turned out to be beautiful fall day for this beautiful fall wedding in the country! Congratulations Paul & Natalie -The My Big Day Team   Contact My Big Day Have Fun. Be Young.

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! We love working with our clients and other vendors to create memorable events, encouraging all to Dream Big and Live Big - For Life’s Events!
