Q - How soon do we need to book our wedding with you?

A- At any time we can receive a call just like yours requesting a date for a wedding. We book on a first-come, first-serve basis and subsequent weddings have to book around our existing schedule. We can book out as far as 18 months in advance, and as close as only a few days for last minute elopements. Essentially the longer you wait, the more flexible you may have to be on your time or date. Our recommendation is that as soon as you know your date and preferred time, you secure your services with us.
 

Q- We are from out of state but want to elope or plan a lavishwedding in Colorado. How to we decide where to go?

A- Elopements and Destination Weddings in Colorado have become so much more popular for those couples wanting to escape the formality, the stress and the financial burden of a large wedding. Many of our elopement clients come for a romantic, memorable occasion just for the two of them, our destination and intimate weddings bring a few close friends and family and plan a simple dinner celebration following the ceremony in one of the area's suggested restaurants. Others are looking for the total wedding experience with large wedding parties and up to 250 guests - and we are here to service both!  Either will allow you the opportunity to celebrate with friends and extended family on your return... and our spectacular photos of your ceremony can play a center role in reflecting the day as you experienced it.

We hold our weddingss in the mountains, lakeside, in private homes, city parks, restaurants and hotels, any where you like! We are very happy to help with guidance on selecting a spot based on your vision, your personality and even your hobbies (hiking, snowshoeing, horse-back riding, etc). The great thing is that our packages are completely 'mobile'... meaning as long as we have your date and time booked, we give you the option to choose your final destination after you arrive and have a day to explore your options. We can even ride in a car together through the majestic Rocky Mountain National Park until you find that perfect, secluded, romantic spot that 'speaks' to you as being the perfect place! Popular spots in the park such as Lily Lake, Sprague Lake, Moraine Amphitheater, etc. do require a reservation along with the $50 permit, so if your inclination is one of those spots we will need to reserve it for you to avoid it being booked by another couple.
 

Q- So what kind of "Additional Fees" can we expect to see?

A- Unless it is something you request special - NOTHING! We built our packages to be complete with NO SURPRISES at the end of the day - we don't like businesses that operate that way ourselves, and we never expect to Burdon our couples with extra charges! The ONLY fees that you can expect over and above a standard package would be something outside of the parameters of one of our packages, and can be built in and determined in advance to create a custom package for you. These fees can, only if applicable, include:

1. Travel Fees - Depending on your choice of locations, travel ranges from no charge within 30 minutes of Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park and increase from there depending on the location of your site.

2. Marriage License - Your license is up to you to obtain prior to your wedding and is only $30.

3. Site Fees - Depending on your package and location, there may be site fees imposed by the location you select. We'll take care of the leg work for you... Wedding fees for Rocky Mountain National Park can be obtained from our office - Standard pricing for weddings in Rocky Mountain National Park of $150.

4. Package Add-Ons - Interested in extra photos, a bigger cake, or fresh flowers? These are all optional fees based on your personal preferences and needs to make your day perfect!
