Baseball + Love = An Amazing Theme Wedding!

8/11/2014

My Big Day loves love -- and baseball!  Put them both together and you have an amazing theme wedding, right here in our own backyard of Loveland, CO!

Our wedding couple, Bryan & Kendra had an amazing baseball wedding at homeplate on Barnes Field #6 at the Loveland Fairgrounds Park. The decor was complete with a program 'lineup,' baseball filled vases with sunflowers, and the bride and groom dancing down the isle to "Centerfield!"
The reception was help at the park pavilion. Table were names with their favorite stadiums, and decorated with baseballs, sunflowers, and of course - Cracker Jacks!   Guests signed homeplate as the guest book. The snack bar was filled with peanuts and pretzels, and the caterer, Common Link, hosted a smorgasbord of baseball themed gourmet food!

The day was simply perfect --- filled with joy and surprises!
My Big Day was honored to be the wedding planners for such a special day. And you know we love a theme!

Event Site Review: Pelican Lakes, Windsor CO

7/31/2014

 
Picture
The My Big Day team recently interviewed Taylor with Pelican Lakes and Water Valley, Windsor's event center, wedding site and golf course.

Whether you picture an indoor or outdoor reception Pelican Lakes can accommodate your dream.  Looking for a beach wedding in the mountains?  The two are hard to find, but there is a sandy beach and small island, suitable for wedding vows in front of your guests (up to 180 people).


While some brides look for venues offering a DIY option, Pelican Lakes truly is a full-service option for brides who don't want to worry about juggling multiple vendors and contracts. All catering, bar, tables, chairs, and service staff are offered with their event package. While you may pay a little more up front, a full-service event package helps make your day stress-free.  As event planners, the My Big Day team appreciate brides who hire us when booking with Pelican Lakes, as we are able to focus on the larger details and pampering our clients vs. setting up tables, chairs, lines, etc.

For corporate, company, or family events, the Water Valley Banquet Room is flexible, and offers some of the best views in Northern Colorado!

Not only is the event space kept very clean, the decor is a mountain/rustic theme, which appeals to most Coloradoans.

For more information about events at Pelican Lakes or the Water Valley Banquet space in Windsor, CO, visit their website HERE.

Get Married on Loveland Mountain on VALENTINE'S DAY!

2/7/2014

 
Picture
My Big Day Events supports everything wedding and valentine related!  One of our favorite annual traditions is the FREE wedding/vow renewal on the top of Loveland Mountain!

Loveland Ski Area’s
23nd Annual Mountaintop Matrimony & Ski Free on Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14 is a “mass wedding” ceremony for couples getting married or renewing their vows. Couples and their guests must be able to ride a chairlift and ski or snowboard back to the base afterwards.

The lift ride takes approximately 12 minutes, and the ceremony takes about 30 minutes. After the ceremony, everyone returns to the Loveland Basin day lodge for the Honeymooner’s Apres Party with music, wedding cake, spirits and a best dressed contest (“ski wedding” attire is encouraged).

Participating couples must pre-register online by February 12 in order to receive the 2-for-1 lift ticket special. For more information, call 303-571-5580 Ext. 141.
Couples getting married are required to bring a Clear Creek County marriage license; the county office is at 405 Argentine St., Georgetown, 303-679-2339. Those renewing their vows do not need a license. All participating couples must sign in on the morning of Feb. 14th  and are asked to be at the Ptarmigan Roost Cabin by 11:30 a.m.

After you say "I Do," My Big Day encourages our couples to head to the 'other' Loveland... in Northern Colorado and continue their Valentine's Day with "My Big Date Night."

My Big Date Night is a all-inclusive night out in Loveland, the Sweetheart City.
Packages are offered on 4 different days with brewery or distillery tours, shuttle service, tasters at each stop, signature Loveland cupcakes, optional hotel stay, dinner, and a gift bag from dozens of Loveland businesses!

10 Questions To Ask When Interviewing Vendors

11/15/2013

 
Picture
Whether you are planning a corporate event, a baby shower, a bridal shower, a birthday party, or a wedding... you have a number of vendors out there to choose from. How to you pick?

While referrals are great, how to you widen your options, and easily narrow down the vendors who you'll trust to pull your event off with grace?

Easy...
You do your research
You ask them carefully prepared questions
You go with your gut!

Here Are The Top 10 Things You Should Consider When Interviewing Vendors:

1. Will the vendor commit to your budget and not push you in the direction of things you simply can't afford?

2. Will the vendor pay attention to the smallest of details? Are they prompt and articulate? (You can gage these things by their promptness in returning phone calls and emails, showing up for your meetings early or on time, and by giving you more information that you even asked for)

3. Can the vendor give you thoughtful and original ideas, showing that they are not only invested in their industry, but experienced?

4. Is the vendor familiar with multiple florists, photographers, caterers, planners, bands, and DJs in your price range? Can he/she explain their strongpoints to you briefly?

5. Can the vendor score you some discounts with any  other vendors, help you negotiate pricing, or in the least, speak of general pricing for other vendors in the industry to help you with your negotiations?

6. Is the vendor legit? Do they have a website, a Facebook page, a Pinterest page, etc? Can you find reviews about their company online? Can they give you a list of referrals?

7. Can the vendor counsel you on industry etiquette matters and speak to hot trends on the horizon?

8. For the day of the event, can the vendor commit to working with only YOU (not juggling multiple clients)?

9. Will the vendor act as your advocate, conveying your visions and desires to others when you don't feel up to the task?

10. PASSION. Does the vendor have it?  If you ask them about their favorite part of their job, do their eyes light up?  If you ask them to tell you about why they got into the industry, do they have a compelling story they love to tell?  If they can’t tell you why they love their job, will they put passion into your Big Day? Probably not.

Note: A professional should have plenty of questions for YOU too.  They should easily be able to determine your wishes, needs, level of maintenance, budget, scope of imagination, and more!
