Wedding Planning in Crested Butte

Wedding planners and wedding photographers sometimes can be one in the same. I often offer my brides lots of advice, suggestions on vendors and work on the timeline with them- acting much like a wedding planner. But hiring a wedding planner is one more step in the right direction. They may cost a pretty penny, and of course some more then others, but in the end the brides I have worked with always says it was worth it. Beside helping with all the planning leading up to the big day, having someone who knows your vision and the flow of the day on the day of the wedding is usually a tremendous help to the bride, groom and the families. It is especially nice for those brides who live outside of Crested Butte and are planning a wedding remotely.

Here in Crested Butte there are a host of planners. The best resource for your vendor needs for a wedding in the Gunnison-Crested Butte area is The Gunnison-Crested Butte Wedding Guide. There you can find a list of all the vendors you will need, including event planners. Four event planners I have worked closely with in the Crested Butte area are Jamie from Blue Bird Events, Stephanie Ames at Alpenglow Events, Stephanie Prater with CB Princess Productions, Frankye with the Crested Butte Mountain Resort and Stephanie with The Club at Crested Butte. All are excellent and offer different services to fit each bride. Blue Bird Events offers full service and by the hour (great for day-of needs). She also rents some beautiful decor and offers a full floral service. A full service event planning company specializing in weddings, parties, and a la carte services. Fantastic!
