After moving to Colorado in 1995, Wendee was an assistant to two wedding coordinators at Keystone Resort and a Director of Catering.

After years of professional experience, Wendee founded Finesse Events in 2001, a full-service wedding & event planning company. Following the recent sale of Finesse, Wendee is now an independent wedding & meeting planner.

Wendee specializes in wedding day-of coordinating services, location search assistance and onsite meeting management. She is based out of the Denver area, but has traveled all over the world for work. Her distinctive skills are her immense knowledge of locations and vendors, the ability to understand client?s desires and hopes, thoroughness and attention to detail ? all with a warm and friendly approach.
