My husband and I both said she was the best part of our whole wedding budget. I cannot say it enough, Danielle was amazing. If you are looking for a day of wedding coordinator it will be 110% worth it! Thank you for everything!!

WOW. Abbey was…read moreINCREDIBLE and a total VISIONARY! Not only did she create a STUNNING design board that led all of the creative/design meetings with vendors; But she took a "feeling" that I had of "romantic, moody, fall" and TURNED IT INTO AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WEDDING. It was so special to see her ability to hear the vague words and create my perfect vision for my day that all of our guests commented was "so Ashli and Brad." On top of being a design queen, she also wrangled my bridal party and vendors and kept us on track day of (really month of, I did mostly nothing). She even got us caught up timeline-wise when I was about half an hour late to the venue! I cannot recommend Abbey enough. She is an absolute delight.

Throughout…read morethe planning process she was full of great ideas on design and provided excellent feedback to our plans, including on vendors we were hiring. She was always prompt to reply (even when we were less than prompt) and is an all-around excellent communicator, both via email and over the phone. The month of, Abbey was on top of absolutely everything, including making sure our schedule was in good shape, dealing with vendors, and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her presence removed a considerable amount of stress in an obviously stressful time. The wedding weekend was everything we hoped for and then some, in significant part thanks to Abbey. We couldn't be happier that we hired her!

We found Milkglass through the Woodlands' all inclusive package and could not have been happier with how everything went. We were an unlucky June 2020 couple and Carly helped us reschedule our wedding and contact vendors to navigate the tough times. We finally had our special day in May 2021 and it was perfection. Carly helped us make decisions about flowers and decor, even meeting us at Event Rents multiple times over the long planning process (2 years with the covid delay!). Planning was really fun with Carly and team - you can tell that they genuinely enjoy what they do and they bring their experience and expertise to help. Everything was gorgeous on the day. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my wedding, while Milkglass took care of everything else. Our guests were certainly in a partying mood after the lockdowns and we started to run out of alcohol during dinner. Carly sent someone to buy more so the party could continue. She also packed up anything we left behind and delivered our decorations and my bouquet to my house the next day. If you're on the fence about a wedding planner or coordinator - DO IT!! This was the single thing that made the most difference on how perfect our day was!

I am not sure how anyone can have a wedding without Carly. We Carly was our day of planner…read moretechnically speaking, but I can't even imagine what it would be like to have her full services, since it truly felt like she helped us every step of the way as is. Our wedding was 135 people in Granby, CO, and Carly helped make it spectacular. Carly is incredibly knowledgable about the industry and Denver-vendors. She never led us astray with her recommendations, and gave us sound advice regarding selection of vendors based in Denver (vs mountain vendors). When we were looking into a caterer she had never worked with, she made the effort to reach out to several wedding planner friends to check in with them and get their opinions. She also kept us organized and on a timeline, and even reviewed all of our vendor contracts which is above and beyond a typical day-of planner. We communicated with her regularly starting from our engagement 1 1/2 years out from the wedding, and she was always quick to respond to emails and happy to answer any of our questions. This is very different from the policies of many of the other day-of planners we looked into, who really wouldn't get involved until 1-3 months out from the wedding. She also didn't have any rules about not responding to emails on Sundays of after-hours, which I've seen friends run into with their planners. Carly did a lot o behind-the-scenes communication with our vendors, often times without me realizing, which spared us from dealing with lots of logistical questions etc. She even sent an email out the week of our wedding, insisting that vendors use her as a primary point person from then until the wedding, so the we wouldn't be dealing with questions during the pre-wedding festivities. On the day of, she (and her assistant Ceecee!) was critical in doing everything from organizing the ceremony, directing people to where they needed to be, doing my bustle when my mother was occupied with something else, and corralled our guests to the appropriate locations as needed. You can tell that she came from New York since she is so organized, direct and efficient, which is exactly what we were looking for in a planner. I would highly recommend Carly and the MGP crew to anyone!

I attended a college friend's wedding in Denver and it was absolutely perfect down to every last detail. Good Ol'Fashioned Party created a stunning wedding reception for a gorgeous June backyard wedding. The decor was crafted to be meaningful for the families and their guests. But more importantly, they understood the couple and who they were was reflected throughout the event. They even used the front yard space and driveway to make a beautiful sit down area with low benches and pillows with lace wrapping around the yard to make for an intimate and private event. The way they transformed the space was magical and I'll never forget this wedding. I only wish I lived in Denver to be able to rent their vintage furniture and decor for my own wedding someday :) Thanks for creating such a special day!

She took the time to come up with a floral proposal that gave me options for my bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, the groomsmen boutonnieres, flower girl bouquets, mother corsages, and table flowers. The proposal was nearly ten pages long, and lovingly put together. We ultimately went with a plum, blackberry, gold, peach, coral, and cream palette with peach roses, ranunculas, scabiosas and peonies. The bouquets were loose, and very organic, like wildflowers growing on a vine. I loved it. Best of all? Liz worked within my budget and went above and beyond what was expected of her. Her designs are intuitive, thoughtful, and playful. When I saw my bouquet, I squealed. It was beautiful and exactly what I had wanted. Thank you so much for making my day, Liz!

However my schedule for the day of the wedding was very off we had about 3 hours before the ceremony were all my bridesmaids and groomsman were just sitting out in the open for everyone to see including my self. We could have started to get ready much later to avoid this. Also Kate did not help with gathering any of our things after the ceremony or even ensuring everyone was in the correct spots for the ceremony. In good of that the set up of the reception that we had planned was not followed through on the day. I did not feel supported by Kate on the day of the wedding. When we needed her my bridesmaids had to search for her to help us. I felt like the only reason why my wedding happed was because of my family and friends. Also Kate was supposed to take over communications with my vendors the last month before the wedding and that never happened. I confirmed with all my vendors and paid them. I would not recommend bello and blue to anyone as a wedding planner, as it was very expensive and they did not follow through on their actual agreement.

Way above and beyond our expectations! After interviewing a handful of wedding planners and extensively reviewing profiles of candidates, we decided to hire Lindsey for our complete wedding planning needs. She vastly stood out due to her ability to bring beauty, uniqueness, and charm to fruition in her event design aesthetics. Lindsey is extremely organized and knows event planning better than I imagine anyone else could. We would have been overly stressed and completely at a loss if we did not use her full-service package. She has exceptional taste and a classic & fresh perspective that allowed us to see more BEAUTY and LOVE in one day than we could have ever imagined ourselves! Lindsey and Kate designed stunning floral arrangements and decor set in a private residence that Lindsey found for us in Winter Park, CO during the winter. From the bride and groom's perspective, the planning process while working with Bello & Blue was essentially stress-free and very enjoyable. We were updated regularly and met with Lindsey frequently to make sure things were going smoothly. She has a list of preferred vendors she trusts and she will even negotiate prices on your behalf when working with them. She presents vendor options based on how your style matches with theirs and she will facilitate the meetings with key vendors so that she stays in the loop. We have so many great things to say about Lindsey, but we cannot put them into a mere review. All we can say is that she is the sweetest, most caring and professional person we could've ever trusted to plan the biggest party of our lives! If you are anxious about planning your dream day, look no further and trust her to bring your DREAM to LIFE more beautifully and seamlessly than you could ever imagine!

Hiring Jolene as our Day-of-Coordinator was and is the best decision we've ever made for our…read morewedding. My husband and I couldn't agree more on this. And I am very certain that in years to come when we relive our wedding day, we will still agree that hiring Jolene was the best decision we've made. My husband and I had particular and grand visions on how we wanted our wedding reception to be like. We had specific ideas on the overall look we wanted to achieve for the wedding reception. We were so into planning and outlining all the details of the wedding and that included getting taffeta pintuck table overlays, charger plates, framed table names, etc, that we didn't think much of who was going to execute all our grand ideas for us on the day itself. The restaurant manager had to run the restaurant and and supervise the kitchen on the day itself, and he wasn't able to see to all our specific details on the decor. We were very fortunate to have good friends who offered to help us set up, but at the same time we wanted all of them to enjoy themselves fully and not to have to work on our wedding day. That was when we realized the best thing to do was to hire a Day-of-Coordinator. In came Jolene who was ever so responsive to my emails. We would go back and forth via email up to five times a day, even on a Sunday. That was when I knew that Jolene was the one we should hire. If she could respond to my emails multiple times on a Sunday, I knew that she would be reliably there for us throughout the days leading up to our wedding, and most importantly, on our wedding day itself. We had a meeting with our reception restaurant manager, Jolene, and my husband and I. Jolene brought up questions that we didn't think about and made sure we covered everything. Jolene also took notes at our meeting and very next early morning she sent me a followup email listing the still-to-be completed tasks that my husband and I had to work on leading up to the wedding day. On the wedding day, my husband and I had peace of mind and we were able to enjoy and absorb every moment of our hard work in planning the wedding. We told Jolene how we envisioned specific details to be like on our wedding, and she carried them out for us perfectly. Not only was she there to execute our day-of vision, but she also acted as a point of reference for our bridal party and guests. My dad wanted a podium for his speech and upon arrival he saw that there was no podium. I asked Jolene if she could put one out for us. And the next time I turned around, she was there setting up the podium. Jolene also made sure that there was a smooth transition between events at the reception. After the reception, we received many compliments from our guests on how well organized everything was and my husband and I have Jolene to thank for this. Do yourself a favor and get Jolene as your Day-of-Coordinator. If you're getting married and have put so much hard work into wedding planning like my husband and I did, you should reward yourself by leaving the day-of execution to a true professional like Jolene. She has been there for us from the time we initiated contact and throughout the days leading up to the wedding and most importantly on the wedding day itself. I appreciate all her kind words to us throughout and alleviating our worries of anything that is wedding-related. Thank you so much Jolene!

My wife and I hired Jolene to be our Day-of-Coordinator for our wedding on Nov. 14, 2009. Our…read morewedding was located in an art center, which was basically an empty warehouse space, and required the services of several separate vendors (Catering, Lights, Flowers, Rentals, etc...) to transform it into the wedding-space that my wife and I envisioned. Jolene's help through the entire planning process was simply invaluable -- from design ideas and scheduling event flow, to the minutia that my wife and I didn't even think of. On our wedding day, Jolene showed up early at the venue and made sure that all the "moving parts" where in sync and on time. Throughout the wedding day itself, she kept us on schedule with our timeline and led the day to a resounding success. In hindsight, my wife and I concluded that we could not have pulled off our "from scratch" wedding without her planning assistance, design ideas, and coordinated-execution on our wedding day. We highly recommend Jolene for event planning, design, and day-of coordination.

Second to saying yes, hiring the Duchess of Denver was the best wedding decision we made! From…read morespending hours truly getting to know us, to having all the right connections, to gracefully navigating a weather pivot on our wedding day, Alex surpassed every expectation. My husband and I knew we wanted to create a unique, beautiful wedding experience that we, our family and friends would cherish and remember. We'd wanted elements of a traditional wedding weekend but one that felt fun and not like every other wedding we'd been to. We also knew that, as a busy engineer and lawyer, we had very little knowledge about what goes into a great wedding and very little time or desire to learn the intricacies of "the perfect wedding." Alex spent hours asking probing and fun questions. He really got to know our visions, desires and quirks. There were so many times when we said things like "we want a dinner the night before, but not a typical rehearsal reception with people standing around at hightop in a bland conference room." He absorbed all of it and turned it into a fabulous weekend. Alex's encyclopedic knowledge about James and Rebecca was invaluable when my work got super crazy a few months before the wedding. When I told Alex that I could do big decisions, but the little ones, like choosing ribbon color or envelopes for invitations, were hurting my brain, Alex stepped in and planned everything based on what he knew about us. Alex found us a breathtaking space in the Penrose Room at the Broadmoor, he coordinated flowers to match my colorful dress, helped pick perfect delicious meal stations that suited a variety of dietary needs, organized the music and stayed on top of the hotel until their 3,000 square foot Parker suite opened up. Alex interviewed and found the best make-up artist, designed hand calligraphed journals for our guests, and created guest bags that with fun and useful things. I could go on and on! Alex's management of every detail meant the weekend ran smoothly and everyone was happy! He created a bowling night for our out-of-town guests and wedding party, worked with the hotel make sure family members with friction had rooms far away from each other, stocked our bride and groom suite with snacks and champagne, moved us us through the precise schedule of photos, ceremony and reception, and organized a fun and delicious good-bye brunch. When a surprisingly rainy June meant our outdoor ceremony space was a mud-field, Alex pivoted and redesigned a large alcove in the reception space to be a cozy ceremony space. So many of our friends and family have said that ours was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended. Ok, ok, maybe they have to say that, but in this case, I think it's probably true! We would recommend Alex to any couple, especially successful professionals who want to create a first class, memorable experience (but might now have the first clue of how do to it).
