From day one, Kate and the Gold Leaf team brought a calming presence, impeccable taste, and a deep understanding of how to bring our vision to life. I'm convinced I was the least stressed bride of all my friends thanks to Kate's steady guidance and meticulous attention to detail. She made everything feel seamless, elegant, and authentically "us." If you're looking for someone who is not only talented and experienced but also kind, poised, and deeply invested in your day, I can't recommend Kate enough.

Kate expertly guided us through the process and helped us design a winter wedding celebration that was even more special than what we had hoped for. Planning a wedding in Aspen requires expert coordination, strong local vendor and venue relationships, creative problem solving, and a leader who is capable of navigating through all the inevitable twists and turns with confidence and ease. Kate and team are all of that and beyond. Their professionalism kept planning extremely manageable and most importantly, allowed us to enjoy and relish every second of our wedding weekend. Above all, Kate is an amazing person and such a pleasure to spend time with. She has incredible presence, impeccable taste, and a confidence that reassured us we were in good hands. We are so grateful to Kate and the team for being an integral part of our wedding celebration, and the memories we will hold onto forever.

(A welcomed feeling after months of prior stress.) Seeing examples of her spreadsheets and attention to every detail and hypothetical scenario was the exact type of luxury event planning service I had been seeking all along. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone planning a Colorado mountain wedding. She is gracious, kind, focused, and advocated for me every step of the way. She not only made my vision come to life but also offered her own creativity to make our event look amazing and run flawlessly. She was always there in my times of need during our 90-day planning speed-run. No questions left unanswered, no details left unwritten. After my previous nightmare situation, she made me entirely comfortable handing over my event to her due to her consistent communication and transparency. I am so, so lucky to have reached out to her and have her take a chance on me. During our wedding I had many guests tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Because of Bluebird's integral understanding of Aspen's local scene and service providers, we benefited from inside information saving us time, money and hassle.

Bluebird's goal was to tie-up details before the wedding week even began. With a prepared agenda we could relax and enjoy golf, hikes, and a bike ride to a magazine-worthy, Bluebird catered picnic at the Maroon Bells.

As the MOB living in Connecticut, when my daughter let me know that she wanted to get married in…read morethe mountains of Colorado my first thought was panic! How was I going to help her plan a wedding that was not in her hometown in Connecticut? We definitely needed a planner to help. We interviewed several planners and my daughter and now son-in-law felt that Casey was the only one we interviewed that spent the time to get to know them and find out what they wanted in their vision of a wedding verses just telling them all the services they provide. Casey was asking how they met, what they liked to do in their free time and what was the vibe they were going for with the wedding. I felt confident that Casey would help them plan a wedding that was perfect for THEM. I wanted to be included in the planning process and Casey had no problem with this so I would be conferenced in on any calls and looped in on all the emails. Casey was very patient throughout the planning process from the number of site visits she went on to find the perfect venue to answering all the little questions we had. Casey helped us find the perfect venue that fit all the characteristics the B+G explained to her in the initial interview. At first, we signed up for "day of" planning because of expense but added the "full service" planning when we decided the venue we chose would end up being like a destination wedding where no guest lived locally so the whole weekend needed to be planned from Friday through Sunday. I am so glad we did this because Casey stepped right in and helped us with all the details! Casey is very organized and helped keep the B+G on schedule with their tasks so it never seemed overwhelming throughout the whole planning process. She recommended some great vendors! Casey went through each contract to make sure all contracts were good even before forwarding them to me to review and kept me on schedule with payments needed for all vendors so I never missed a payment. Casey was great with communication and would often answer an email on her day off even though I didn't expect an answer right away. I think Casey really excelled with logistics and design so when the time came, the wedding was flawless! All of our guests commented on how well everything came together and how beautiful the wedding was. The weekend of the wedding was amazing, the B+G and I showed up and were allowed to be just guests for the whole weekend! We did not need to worry about a thing because Casey and Jessica handled everything! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I did not find out about a problem that happened during the weekend until after the brunch when my sister let me know that she was having such trouble with the altitude right before the ceremony that Casey got her some oxygen and set her up in a place to see the ceremony where she did not have to walk. I did not even notice that this was going on. There was no doubt that Casey did not want the B+G nor me to be troubled with anything over the weekend and what a joy that was to not have that stress! When first interviewing planners I thought they were, as a whole, expensive and was a little worried with the cost of them, however, I can honestly say Casey and Aspen & Ivy are well worth the expense! Casey, I really enjoyed working with you. I felt that through the process you became more of a friend than vendor we had contracted! We definitely could not have pulled off such a beautiful event without you!

It was a celebration of our 70th birthdays and the completion of the personal goal of hiking all the National Parks. We worked closely with Casey to plan a weekend event that included multiple meals, nightly entertainment and daily activities for 120 people, Casey is extremely organized and kept my husband and I on task by helping with an ongoing list of chores, dates and goals. She gently advised us on everything including, caterers, food, alcohol, flowers, and invitations. During the weekend Casey worked behind the scenes to make sure everything ran perfectly. We were particularly impressed when she was the last one to bed because she was running the vacuum at night to make sure the space was in perfect order for Saturday breakfast. This is the very first time we've ever used a party planner and we are so glad we did. Three months later our friends are still raving about the weekend and how well organized it was. It did help that we had the party at Estes Park on a glorious fall weekend. Casey didn't plan that. If you are planning a wedding, a family reunion, or a birthday party and looking for some an event planner who is organized, well-connected, and at a reasonable price, Pink Diamond Party Events should be your very first call.

She not only solved the heaters and blanket asks but also added so many details that I would never have thought of. Baskets to hold the blankets. Blankets tied with twine. Additional black napkins in case someone was wearing a dark outfit. Found local wines and beers. Just extremely thoughtful in everything she did. My event was not big or expensive. I'm from out of town so I'm probably not a repeat client (wish I could be!). And I had a very last minute weekend request. And Jolene pulled through 110%. I would trust her to plan just about anything. You'll be in the best hands.
