Last year I set out on a personal BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), to create a tribute show called,…read moreHe Wore Black, a Johnny Cash Tribute. I contacted Cash's original drummer and asked if he and his lead guitarist in his band, The WS Holland Band, would play with me. They agreed and I quickly contacted Shining Light Events to help me sell tickets. Since I was both performer and promoter, I had a lot on my shoulders, the high costs of bringing in these to artists aside, what if we didn't sell enough tickets, what if I don't get the word out, what if I spend too much money on advertising and it all is a bust? This was either going to be a great show or the best "party" I have ever put on for myself and my family. Michael at Shining Light Events assured me we would sell out the show. I wasn't so sure, but I trusted him because I have used his site to buy tickets to local events and have witnessed first hand these events selling out. Michael and I talked quite a bit, he was always available to speak to me and offer his assurance that things are going smoothly. Two months out and we weren't sold out. In fact, the room would have had an echo with the number of tickets we sold. He told me not to worry, he was planning a promotion for my event. Well, we went from having an echo in the room to having to SHUTDOWN the ticket sales because we were now standing room only! We sold out about a month (ONE MONTH) before the show, not to mention we had a waiting list of 60+ people on the list (which equates to about 100 additional bodies). If you have an event where you are selling tickets, do yourself a favor and let Shining Light Events handle the ticket sales and promotion. It will be one more thing that you will NOT have to worry about, trust me. He Wore Black was a huge success!!! So much so that I couldn't even let Michael buy tickets to it because we were really SOLD-OUT! And thanks to that success we are getting more and more bookings for the show. So, do you have a BHAG? Call Michael at Shining Light Events, tell him what you're thinking, he helps BHAGs become realities. David Chapa He Wore Black

Her dedication, compassion, care, thoughtfulness, dedication, organization, professionalism, and creativity cannot be beaten nor matched. Our wedding was everything I had dreamed of and then a million times more. The reception was completely personalized to match our personalities to a "T". Cielle took my crazy ideas and thoughts and made them real. It was incredible to watch the wheels in her mind turn as we brainstormed the ceremony and reception. Not only did Cielle help with the week of, day before, and day of (my lord this woman does it all!), Cielle was available for the planning in the months ahead. She worked with all of my vendors and locations. The day ran like absolute clockwork. Cielle had everything under control and anticipated everything. She is a magician, I swear! In all seriousness, Cielle is the most amazing wedding planner and coordinator I have ever met. Her enthusiasm is absolutely amazing. Every phone call, meeting, email, and conversation made me feel like our wedding was the most important thing going on in the world.

We came to them after a friend backed out of photographing our event and were frantic to find a replacement. Not only were they available, they were sweet and calming, assuring us that everything would be fine. My husband and I had lots of our own ideas about shots we wanted and songs we wanted played, but there were also plenty of thinga that we hadn't really thought about. Jake and Christina helped us fill in the gaps and made sure that they fit in all of the things we required at the same time. They worked hard to put everything together in a way that totally realized our vision for the day. From start to finish, they gave us helpful tips and offered amazing advice, Christina even helped fix my fallen curls when I got to the venue. They arrived early and were last to leave, making sure we were not wanting for a single thing. Jake's happy and upbeat attitude made the reception super fun, and guests loved all of the music he played! Christina got lots of amazing shots of us, our guests, and of Red Rocks, where the wedding was held. She was incredibly patient with our cat as well, who was our flower girl. Jake and Christina are such sweet, fun people in general and better yet, are fantastic at their jobs. Hiring them for your event is well worth it and a decision you will not regret!

The location is great as we both have spent quite some time at Palmer Lake. beautiful views of the mountains as it is nestled close to them. Great outdoor venue area for when it's warm and an even more beautiful chapel and reception hall. I envision our big day at Pinecrest after the tour (we toured other places but the view was the best for us). Danny was also very informative of the packages and we chose the all inclusive. Well worth it, I have to say because when it came to our big day, everything was " absolutely spectacular " and the staff were amazing and worked hard to make our day over the top amazing. Jessica was our wedding coordinator, absolutely brilliant and amazing person to make our dream wedding ( and only wedding) come true. Danny, Jessica and the whole staff at Pinecrest: we cannot thank you enough for your kindness, patience and hard work you all did for our wedding. I am beyond words of how I'm so impressed with Pinecrest and it's staff. For those that are reading, definitely have your wedding here. Such a gorgeous place with trem staff. Best wishes, Anthony and Andrea C.

The guide was not able to provide basic information about the venue itself, to include their catering prices, the tax and service fees, and other miscellaneous info. My fiancé and I then told the guide multiple times that we intended on being married at the outside ceremony site and wished to see the location, but we were told "not today it's snowing". Tough to sell a venue when you refuse to show the customer what they want. We were very excited for this venue however the guide we given was the specific reason we did not choose this venue.
