I don't know how, but Marry Me In Colorado brought our dream wedding to life! Every detail was so exquisite, elegant, and beautiful! Everything I had hoped for and planned but so much better! The ceremony was beautiful, very touching and romantic yet still had the religious tradition we love. The air was filled with romance, perfectly arranged flowers, beautiful music. The photographer was even able to get my husband relaxed enough to enjoy the photos (we never thought that would happen!). From the first time I called, all the way through six months of planning, I was always greeted with cheerfulness, patience, and a wealth of ideas. When we had a change in plans and needed to change our wedding date to accommodate our family, we were shown gracious flexibility. The referrals we received for venue, reception, hair and make-up, music, and even preservation of my bouquet worked out so great and it was all coordinated so seamlessly, resulting in the perfect atmosphere, great service, and great food! The decorating for the ceremony and reception were both phenomenal, and the floral arrangements were stunning. The cake was absolutely delicious! All of the normal wedding planning stress was completely removed and I was treated like a princess, exactly like it should be on the most important day of your life. I have worked in the salon industry for 15 years catering to brides all through the phases of planning weddings and seen most of them so stressed out that they can't even enjoy their own day. After seeing that be the norm, I was a little nervous about planning something so special. I had no idea that it could be so easy! The years of experience really shows in the quality provided. Marry Me In Colorado not only gave us our dream wedding, but created a magical and memorable Christmas for our entire family! I can not thank them enough for that, and would not hesitate to send anyone I meet to them for a perfect wedding!

My husband and I got married today in Estes Park. We live in Florida, so planning was very difficult. We found Kevin & Laurie in an online search and their website was just outstanding. We had shared several conversations via phone before coming out to Colorado. They took all the worries of a bride away, and I had a completely stress free engagement! Upon coming to Colorado, our families stayed home.. but Laurie made us feel so welcomed. She had even planned to come to my hotel room to help me get in my dress, and even carried my laptop around for parents on Skype!!! They were just absolutely amazing, words couldnt describe. And to add a little excitement, because my husband saw my dress previously, she thought of having him wait downstairs at the end of the stair case and didnt see me until I was dressed and had full hair and make up done. We would recommend them to anyone coming out to Colorado, they were definately very warming and open. I loved them!! And if I could give them higher than a 5, I most certainly would (:

We used MMIC for our pastor, flowers, cake and pics. Everything was smooth and well executed. We were happy to get so many wonderful photos. Would definitely recommend MMIC to others.

Our wedding day turned out to be blizzard conditions - and Kevin and Lorie jumped right in with suggestions on indoor locations that we could use. Some were more expensive than we could afford, so the Cooper's ended up opening their home to us and our guests. The ceremony was beautiful, written with all of our requests and our mixed religious beliefs incorporated. Lorie did an amazing job not only with my bouquet (I had sent her a multitude of photos and she designed a breathtaking bouquet) but she took the time to decorate their fireplace for our ceremony as well. Mark did beautiful pictures and despite the cold, braved the snow and wind to take us outside for photos by the lake. It was a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a stress free, all-inclusive wedding.

My husband and I wanted a low key, quiet, but nice romantic wedding, and that is what we got!! We had always wanted to vacation in Colorado, so decided to have our wedding their too. We planned our vacation, but had to do very little, if any planning of the wedding, and it ended up being perfect!! We arrived in Colorado a few days before the wedding and picked out our "spot" overlooking the mountains and a lake. It was beautifu!! Unfortunately, the day of our wedding there was 110 mph winds, so our outdoor wedding we had wanted, wasn't going to happen, unless we wanted to stand out in the blistering winds. We are so glad we decided not to, because Lorie and Kevin had the perfect set up for us in their home!! It was perfect!! It very romantic and could not have been better!! Other than the weather that day (which was out of our control!) the whole day was wonderful!!!!

Mark was an amazing photographer. He was such a gentleman (ga\/e up his jack to me as it was \/ery windy out and I was cold). Had such different ideas that I would ha\/e ne\/er thought of. We got all of the pictures he took and we can use them as we sit fit! Amazing guy who I wish could take pictures at my reception.

My husband and I are both military and stationed in California. Since Scott was being deployed to Afghanistan we wanted to be married before he left. We originally planned on San Diego here in CA but after finding Marry Me In Colorado's website and speaking with them on the phone we were hooked. What I thought would be difficult planning was not only easy but it made planning our wedding FUN. They had great worksheets to help us plan all of the details. Lorie helped us to plan a couple of different outings for our guests that they loved (fly fishing and horseback riding with a steak dinner that we had as our rehearsal dinner). They went above and beyond what we could have ever asked. They helped us find our hotel (Mary's Lake Lodge was AWESOME) and Janice to do my hair and make up and great recommendations for dinner. They were always quick to respond to our calls and emails and were great fun to work with. I highly recommend Lori, Mark and Kevin to anyone planning a wedding who is looking for a great value and everything wrapped up in a package. We plan to return to Estes (an amazing place in itself that we could have used an extra week alone just to explore) and will call Marry Me In CO to do our vow renewal in 5 years!!

Marry Me in Colorado was very easy to work with. We wanted to get married in Rocky Mountain National Park. Kevin was informative and descriptive when we asked questions over the phone about certain areas or lakes to get married at in the park. The actual service and vows were wonderful. Kevin did not 'rush" or make it seem like it was a 'just another wedding ceremony' The photographer Mike was also friendly and did not rush with pictures. My husband and I eloped and were very pleased with these folks!Gina & Wally Nerka -Littleton, Colorado

Marry Me In Colorado was just awesome! Kevin really captured Michael and I in our custom ceremony. We had the Bella Package. Lorie was so sweet to refer me to a local make up and hair artist for my special day who came to our condo. We could not have hoped for a better stress free beautiful day! Our pictures were more than we could have hoped for and will be treasured.

We were scheduled to be married at Saint Malo's church on 9/17. On 9/15 when we went to the church to finalize details, we were told that because we had not completed one of the required pre-marital classes with the Catholic Church, we would not be able to hold our ceremony in the chapel. In a panic we contacted our reception site, and was told that we could hold our ceremony on their lawn. My aunt first contacted Marry Me In Colorado and spoke with Kevin and Lorie. Kevin already had a conflicting wedding, but Lorie told us she would be willing to come to our rescue. Lorie worked with my aunt (my wedding planner) and my husband and I in just a few hours to put together a ceremony that had all of the aspects that were important to us - including several catholic traditions. She also delivered and set up a gorgeous arch made out of trees (Aspen, I think?) so that we could use the decor our florist had already prepared for our ceremony. She made the alter piece into an arrangement that worked perfectly on the arch and the entire setting was BEAUTIFUL. She brought along her own sound system so my brother (who played guitar) could use and we use for our vows. Lorie did an amazing job considering how so last minute we all were. She arrived an hour before the ceremony just to make sure our nerves were calmed and helped my aunt decorate the aisles. She was truly our "Knight-ette in Shining Armor" and came to our rescue. She took care of sending in our license for us and was overall a pleasure to work with.

Kevin and Lorie were wonderful to work with. We decided to elope after a long engagement. We decided to actually get married and 10 days later we were. Kevin a Lorie planned a very special and initimate ceremony in such a short amount of time. We had such a romantic experience and I would recommend this type of wedding/ceremony for anyone who doesn't want to be stressed out on their wedding day. We decided to get married in the Rocky Mountain National Park amongst the beautiful scenery and wildlife. This was a very special time for us.

The entire Marry Me In Colorado (MMIC) team was absolutely fabulous!! Lorie planned a wonderful and unique wedding celebration and weekend vacation for our guests. We had prompt communication with Lorie and Kevin through the months of planning. MMIC provided exceptional service and quality and they demand that as well from the vendors with whom they work. This was extremely important since we were planning a destination wedding. It was excellent to have their knowledge of the area and ability to select venues for our meals and ceremony based on our guests needs. In fact, Lorie even was able to use her connections in Estes Park to make a change in venue for our rehearsal dinner when we had 20 more guests than originally planned and our original venue could not accommodate us, the day before the dinner. Kevin created a perfect ceremony for us. It was very personal to us and also included my son which made it the amazing celebration of our family which was precisely what we wanted. The photography by Mark was also exceptional and the moments he captured are perfect reminders of the day. I think he must burn hundreds of calories each ceremony with all of the photos he takes from so many different perspectives. Our guests also raved about the food at the meals as well as coordination of the weekend. In addition, we had several comments on how personal the ceremony was for us. Ultimately, the weekend was relaxing and enjoyable for our families, including us, the bride and groom, because of the MMIC team. I think that the biggest testament to the exceptional job they did is after attending our wedding, two couples from our families will be renewing their vows in Estes Park next year. We cannot wait to see the team again next year and in a few years for our own renewal!!

My husband and I decided to plan a destination wedding in Colorado for 12 close family and friends, and Kevin and Lorie put together the most beautiful and special wedding for us. From the very first phone call Kevin and Lorie were extremely helpful in planning, and really seemed to catch the essence of what we wanted for our wedding. They completely customized the plan we chose to make sure that we got exactly what we wanted and nothing more, and even let us change things up as we went through the planning process. The customized ceremony Kevin wrote for us was absolutely beautiful and personal, the flowers were gorgeous, and I cannot say enough good things about the photographs Mark took for us. Simply stunning! Overall, I would highly recommend Kevin and Lorie for the bride wanting an easy way to plan a very unique and special wedding.

Kevin and Lorie are wonderful, helpful, personable, flexible and amazing to work with. Kevin designed the ceremony incredibly personal and unique just for us. Lorie made the bouquet and boutonniere just marvelous and special. We haven't seen the pictures yet, but from the angles and shots that Mark took, I'm sure they will be wonderful, too. These guys are awesome and the service is top notch! We are 'seasoned' - both of us having been to the altar before; but I'm sure Kevin and Lorie would be stellar at helping the first time bride and groom experiencing a dream come true. This was for us! Well worth the cost!
