Site Review: Platte River Fort

8/18/2015

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!

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.

My Big Day Welcomes Our Summer Interns!

3/28/2015

It brings us great joy to introduce our 2015 summer interns!
Becca and Katie will make great additions to the My Big Day team!

Rebecca Barnes, Event Intern
Education: Bachelors in Hospitality Management

"Becca will be graduating from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hospitality Management and a Minor in Business Administration. As the Event Coordinating Officer for the CSU Hospitality Student Organization, she has had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people within the industry who have helped her solidify her love for event planning and helping people make their dream events become reality. She enjoys every aspect of event planning and loves to see all of the details come together for an unforgettable event clients will cherish for a lifetime. Her creativity emanates throughout her various hobbies, such as music, painting and photography, which allow her the ability to look at every event and look beyond the sky as the limit. She believes that each event should be as unique, imaginative, and memorable as those they are being created for. Becca is extremely excited to be working with the team at My Big Day and expanding her event planning skills!"

Katie Patterson, Event Intern
Education: Student at Colorado State University

I will be a senior at Colorado State University this fall and I am majoring in Communications studies with minors in both Business Administration and French. My interest was first sparked in event planning in high school while working at a local pool in my hometown. We would plan all types of summer events to put on for the community and I loved helping brainstorm for the events and then follow through to create the events. I love the challenge of figuring out every dynamic to make an event as best it can be and improving on events that already exist. I have also had the wonderful pleasure of spending the past year of college taking full reign of putting on multiple philanthropy event fundraisers for my sorority, Pi Beta Phi. This experience only solidified and intensified my desire to plan and organize all types of events. For these events I was in charge of coordinating every aspect of the events from delegating tasks, receiving donations, marketing to the community, and so much more. Being able to see these events come to life and watch people enjoy themselves at an event is a wonderful and fulfilling experience. I love planning every aspect of events from the big picture to the smallest of details! I'm so excited to get more experience in the field while working with My Big Day Events and cannot wait to see how much I will be able to learn and grow in my skills with event planning.
