At Alpenglow Events, we go beyond traditional wedding planning—we deliver a completely customized and stress-free experience. With over 12 years of event planning expertise, we’ve built events from the ground up in both traditional and non-traditional venues, including private properties, outdoor locations, and blank-slate spaces. Our strong relationships with top venues and trusted vendors allow us to bring your vision to life seamlessly, no matter the setting. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to your peace of mind: we include exclusive services you won’t find elsewhere, such as a dedicated wedding day attendant to assist you personally and complimentary honeymoon travel planning.  Our mission is simple: to create an unforgettable day while you relax, connect with loved ones, and celebrate without worry.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and emotionally draining—especially while balancing work and personal life. A professional wedding planner brings expertise, industry connections, and problem-solving skills to the table. We help you stay organized, on budget, and on schedule, while also ensuring your vision comes to life exactly as you imagined. Most importantly, we reduce your stress so you can fully enjoy your engagement and your wedding day.

A Wedding Planner (like Alpenglow Events) works exclusively for you—not the venue. We manage every detail of your wedding from start to finish: vendor sourcing, design, timelines, budget, logistics, rehearsals, and more. We’re with you throughout the entire planning process and on the day of your wedding to ensure your vision is executed flawlessly.

A Venue Event Manager represents the venue. Their role typically includes managing what the venue provides—like the space, in-house catering, or furniture—and ensuring the venue’s policies are followed. They usually don’t coordinate outside vendors, create full timelines, or provide personalized planning services.

Both roles are important, but only a dedicated Wedding Planner ensures every aspect of your day is seamless, cohesive, and centered on you.

We are based in Crested Butte, Colorado, and specialize in planning luxury events all over the world.  We regularly service the Colorado mountain regions—including Crested Butte, Aspen, Telluride, Vail, Lake City, and beyond. We also plan beach destination weddings and offer full-service support for weddings across the U.S. and worldwide. Whether you're envisioning a mountaintop ceremony or a barefoot celebration on the beach, we’re ready to bring your dream to life—wherever it takes you.

We keep our travel fees simple and transparent. There are no travel charges for weddings in the Crested Butte and Gunnison area. For weddings elsewhere in Colorado, we do not charge for mileage or travel time, but we kindly ask for reimbursement of basic accommodations. For weddings outside of Colorado, we charge only for flights and accommodations, with no added travel fees. We’re always happy to provide an estimate upfront based on your wedding location.

We have a network of trusted vendors, but we’re happy to work with anyone you choose. Our priority is finding professionals who align with your vision and investment.

Yes, absolutely. We bring as many team members as your wedding day requires—whether it’s an intimate elopement or a large-scale celebration. The number of staff members needed is determined during your initial consultation and is already factored into your package price, so there are no surprise fees later on.

Getting started is easy! First, book a free consultation call so we can get to know you, learn about your vision, and talk through your needs and goals. After our chat, we’ll send you a custom proposal and contract. Once the contract is signed and retainer paid, we get started right away—guiding you through the planning process step by step and making sure everything is on track for an unforgettable wedding day.
