Nonprofit fundraisers are a great way to bring people together for a common cause, and when successful, they can make an impact on the lives of those in need. That was certainly the case at Dementia Together’s Joy on the Journey fundraising event that My Big Day Marketing & Events had the pleasure of planning last week. The numbers from this event are proof of its success:
Throughout the evening, guests heard from Dementia Together’s Executive Director and other supporters. They heard stories that were both heart-warming and inspiring, and it was clear that the work being done by this amazing organization is truly making a difference in people’s lives. My Big Day Marketing & Events was honored to be a planning partner for such an important and spectacular event! From concept to execution, this event took over 300 planning hours to pull off. Community is an important pillar in all of the work that My Big Day does, and this event was a perfect example of how community and coming together for a common cause can be inspiring and produce good for many! As a collective of experts, My Big Day specializes in creativity. With superior organization, marketing experience and original ideas, we pull off amazing events and campaigns!

Loveland Aleworks Backyard Tap Sports Station American Grill Wicked Tequila B Sweet Cupcakes East End Ale House Vintage Willows Mead Krieger Minimal Market Tom Davis Saloon Keeping Adults Young at Heart! The NoCo Easter Keg Hunt. A true scavenger hunt. Your team will solve clues hidden in Easter eggs that will lead you to businesses all over town. Learn a little.... laugh a lot! Storytelling and memory making guaranteed. Event Website: https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/easter-keg-hunt.html We hope to see you next year! “So this is everything I have to tell you about love and marriage: nothing, Like a book without pages or a forest without trees. Because there are things you cannot know before you experience them. Because nobody else’s love, nobody else’s marriage, is like yours, And it’s a road you can only learn by walking it, A dance you cannot be taught, A song that did not exist before you began, together, to sing.” Love was in the air and on the ice at the 2023 Valentine’s Group Wedding ceremony, held at the Budweiser Event Center. Even though couples stood and said “I Do” and “I Do, Again” over the hockey rink ice, there were no cold feet in the crowd! 28 couples joined together for the 6th Annual Valentine’s Day Group Wedding, a signature event organized by My Big Day Marketing & Events, with support from the City of Loveland. 12 of those couples were married for the first time. Officiant Todd Harding wore a referee shirt to keep up with the hockey/sporting theme. Couples entered the rink on a red carpet isle while being serenaded by Branden Sipes, a favorite Colorado Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist. He played and sang music chosen and voted on by all of the participating couples. The ceremony included thoughtful and loving readings, vows - both led by Todd Harding - and personally between each couple, a ring exchange, and a declaration of marriage. Friends and family members of the couples watched and cheered from the stands. Many held lighted Eagles sticks, adding to the excitement and fun of the event! After the ceremony, couples were ushered up to the Budweiser Balcony Bar where they were able to toast to each other and their guests. They also had plenty of opportunities for photos with the event photographer, Dick Knapp, and the special Valentine’s photo booth, complete with props. Valentina, Loveland’s Valentine Mascot, and Slapshot, the mascot for the Eagles’ hockey team, were also on hand for photos. Family and friends were on hand to celebrate the couples. The vow renewal couple below has participated in the Valentine’s Day Group wedding each year! Couples had a photo keepsake and goodie bag full of treats to remember this special day! My Big Day Marketing & Events is proud to be a part of this celebratory event. It is unique to Loveland and provides the community with an additional draw for all of its Valentine’s Day celebrations. It’s an unwritten fact that you often don’t get - or want- repeat business when in the wedding planning industry. However, one couple who participated in the group wedding as a vow renewal couple has done so each year at the Valentine’s Group Wedding event (6 times)- proving that a wedding can provide repeat business, as long as love remains the focus and root of the event!

We celebrate 60 years since Hewlett Packard opened a massive campus in Loveland, catapulting the city into a technological hub and city known for innovation! The building that put Loveland on the tech map sat dormant for a while after HP vacated. Today, the building has new owners and a fresh start! Known as Forge Campus, it is once again THE BUZZ of the city! MBD Marketing & Events was prospected a number of months ago by a steering committee for the initiative called, Live Loveland, to consider helping to plan a large scale event. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into. An incredible number of members of the community from all different backgrounds came together to give their input on what they wanted this celebration to look like. We quickly came up with a name that described what the event was for, honored the past, and celebrated the future. With 15 events rolled into 1 massive event, the Forge Campus was celebrated, open for tours and HOPPING! Below are all of the major activities and features offered:
We are very proud of the hard work we put into this major tribute to innovation in Loveland, CO.

Northern Colorado has no shortage of scenic backdrops that are perfect for photoshoots - both professional and impromptu selfies. As event planners who are often asked for recommendations, we have pulled together a list of some of the best locations in NoCo. Reference this list for your next family mini-session, graduation shoot, engagement photos, or a fun afternoon with you and your closest friends! Favorite Spots for Family & Senior Photos Rocky Mountain National Park - This location offers some of the most majestic mountain views around! It is very popular in the fall - especially with the variety of golds, oranges, and reds - perfect for family photos that are worthy of a Christmas Card! There are multiple locations inside the park to choose from, including, but not limited to, Bear Lake, Sprague Lake, and Moraine Park. Horsetooth Reservoir - Located just west of Fort Collins proper, this picturesque setting has great options for foothills and water backdrops. Also a great spot for engagement and wedding photos! Riverbend Ponds Natural Area - This location is a hidden natural area surrounded by city - making it a perfect spot if you want more than one location for your photoshoot or session. You can easily travel from this beautiful natural setting to downtown Fort Collins for a completely different look. We are partial to this location in the fall - it is often full of vibrant yellows and oranges - perfect for fall senior photo shoots! Arapaho Bend Natural Area - Perhaps one of the most photographed areas for family photos! This iconic bridge and beautiful wooded areas are the perfect setting for any shoot! CSU Annual Flower Trial Gardens - Located in the heart of downtown Fort Collins, this spot is perfect for family photos, engagement sessions, group photos before school dances, or just some fun selfies with friends. Depending on when you go, there will be different background colors to suit your taste! Stunning Engagement and Wedding Spots All of the previously mentioned locations would work for engagement and wedding photos, too, but these next spots are undeniably perfect! South Mesa Trailhead - Located near Boulder, CO, this location is a perfect spot to capture important engagement poses or a quick post-wedding photoshoot. Gather shots on the trail itself, or find a nearby stream. Chataqua Park - Also located near Boulder, CO, this spot has some beautiful vistas and scenery great for any time of year. Hike through fields of yellow grass or snow to catch a perfect shot! Old Town Fort Collins/Downtown Loveland - Downtown Fort Collins or 4th Street in downtown Loveland offer some chic and more urban shots to suit weddings and group photos. Perfect for family and senior photos as well! You can find examples of all of these locations and more under the weddings tab on our website. Use our website for inspiration!

The RSVPs are in, dresses tailored and catering confirmed. What could go wrong? No wedding – no matter how well-planned and well-run – is immune to the occasional crisis or disaster. Knock on wood and consider this prewedding emergency checklist: Know your venue and its contacts. There is a leak in the women's bathroom. Before your guests ruin their shoes, know who the contacts are for your venue. Work with them to have a plan B in case of maintenance emergencies, weather or other unforeseen situations. Same for vendors. Only 85 chairs were delivered instead of 100. Who do you call? Having a clear list of all vendor contacts - and distributing it to all members of your event team - is critical to managing emergencies on the fly. Be familiar with evacuation plans and emergency exits. The fire alarm is going off. What now? Have a plan for how you will evacuate your guests - and communicate the need to do so. Having a PA system, bullhorn or whistle in your emergency kit can help you get the attention of a crowd. Identify staff or volunteers in advance to help guide guests to emergency exits. Print it out. Having copies of all guest lists, permits, contracts, contact numbers, maps, layouts, etc. can be a lifesaver. We all love trees and live in a digital world, but there's nothing like a visual in case of an emergency. Being able to show someone on a map where the extra chairs go or how you are going to move things around is critical. Additionally, you can handoff paper much more easily than a tablet when delegating tasks or information. Have enough copies for everyone and a few extras, just in case. Have an emergency kit packed and ready. You have things that are moving that shouldn't. Things that aren't moving that should. A change to the menu. A giant spill. And no time to run back home or the office to deal with it. Emergency kit to the rescue! Looking for a FREE emergency kit packing list? Download our printable below.
Don't go it alone. Rather than dealing with emergencies yourself, why not kick up your heels and enjoy your wedding. Let MBD Marketing & Events take on the heavy lifting, so you can dance the night away! My Big Day has planned over 300 weddings! Trust your event planning experts! Small Business. Big Impact.
