Krysta is amazing!

We are SO glad we hired Krysta to help us on our wedding at Dunton Hot Springs. We wouldn't have been able to do it without her assistance. There were many challenges with the location, weather, flight delays etc., and Krysta helped us navigate those challenges with ease. Thank you Krysta!

You Need Her

Planning a wedding in Telluride could have been stressful, but with Krysta, it was so easy. She knew the right people, made incredible recommendations, and coordinated a seamless day. She knew I wanted to get married with snow falling and she called in a favor from Mother Nature - kidding, but she was ready to get us out there in the snowfall and it turned out even better than I imagined. She would pop in to see how I was doing the day of, and disappear to work her magic. She came prepared for anything that could go wrong and if it did, well, I had no idea. I cannot appreciate her enough. She is organized, detailed, and calm in all situations. You need her.

Elevation Weddings Review

Krysta and her team were a huge help in planning and executing our destination wedding in Telluride, CO. We'd never been to Telluride before our wedding but Krysta knew all the vendors and people to make it happen without a hitch. Would highly recommend Krysta if you're planning a destination wedding in or around Telluride, CO.

Dream Wedding

Krysta and her team are excellent! I had a destination wedding, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. Every detail, idea, and vision was met. If I could do it again, I would choose Elevations Weddings & Events!

Krysta Saves the Day

We were the typical couple that thought they could do it themselves…wow were we wrong. Had we continued, we would have been so stuck without Krysta!! We had no idea what it took to plan a wedding but she sure does. With a limited time frame, she absolutely killed it. From the communication to the execution, 10/10. There's not a single thing I wish she would have done differently. Krysta asked us what we’d like, specifically. And every one of the little details we wanted, made it into the wedding! She knows her locations really well, she knows all the vendors (even the ones you didn’t know about) and she has a delicate way of conducting business, while also not dealing with any BS. We barely saw her during the wedding, but we knew she was HANDLING BUSINESS. The person behind the scenes, calling the shots and keeping out of sight. Which was bitter sweet because we love her! Haha Our wedding was perfect, thanks to her and Elevation Weddings and Events. THANK YOU Krysta so so much!

Surreal destination wedding planner

My now son-in-law perfectly described our experience with Krysta Cossitt & Elevation Weddings & Events: "Worth her weight in gold!" When Ben and my daughter Megan decided one spring weekend to set a date for their summer destination wedding, I knew she were going to need a very special wedding coordinator. Krysta surpassed our expectations! She pulled their vision into reality for the most surreal destination wedding imaginable -- all in a short timeframe. Krysta excels at communication and organization; the online Aisle Planner program she customized was a game changer for coordinating the million details. She is personable, professional and well-respected in her community, and it shows in the relationships she has with vendors. But Krysta's real talent is her genuine love of what she does -- she is interested in you and draws you in to make you feel comfortable and excited about your wedding. She was never too busy to listen or to answer a questions. The day of the wedding was flawless.

As mother of the bride, I look back now 4 months later -- was I dreaming -- or did my daughter and son-in-law just have the ultimate wedding of their dreams? Yes, thanks to Krysta and her team! Thank you again!

Worth her weight in gold

I recently had the pleasure of working with Krysta and her team and I can confidently say that she was incredible in every way. From the moment we hired her until the last dance at our wedding, she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfection.
Krysta has unparalleled attention to detail. She meticulously organized every aspect of our wedding, from the venue selection to the smallest decor details. Her creative vision and expertise turned our dreams into a breathtaking reality.
One of the standout qualities of Krysta is her exceptional communication skills. She kept us informed and involved throughout the entire planning process, making sure our voices were heard and our wishes were met. Her ability to listen and understand our vision was truly remarkable.
On the big day, Krysta and her team executed flawlessly. From managing the vendors to keeping the timeline on track, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day, knowing that she had everything under control.
But what sets Krysta apart is her genuine passion for what she does. She treated our wedding as if it were her own, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Her positive attitude and calming presence were a true blessing during a stressful time.
In summary, Krysta is not just a wedding planner but a wedding magician. If you're looking for someone who will turn your wedding dreams into a beautiful reality while providing unwavering support and professionalism, Krysta is the one for you. We are forever grateful for her dedication and the unforgettable memories she helped us create.
Thank you, Krysta, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. We couldn't have done it without you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the pleasure of working with Krysta for a wedding in New Castle, Colorado earlier this year. Not only was she extremely communicative and detailed in all our conversation leading up to the event, she was super fun to work with on the day of the event as well! This wedding had events that were taking place on multiple locations throughout the property and Krysta kept the ball rolling with ease as well as making sure that everything happened on time and on schedule. Looking forward to our next event together!
