Brynn did an amazing job guiding us through every step of the wedding planning process, from our very first meeting to the wedding day itself. She was always there with thoughtful vendor recommendations, handled the day-of coordination seamlessly, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could truly relax and enjoy our day. We are incredibly grateful for Brynn and her expertise. She brought our vision to life, and the day was everything we could have hoped for. Thank you, Brynn, for making our wedding so special!

Alexandra went above and beyond for our wedding! I never felt any stress and always fully trusted her judgement on decisions when we asked what she thought while planning! She was exceptional in all aspects!!! The thought of organizing and planning a big wedding felt daunting until we met Alexandra—I felt like she held my hand through the whole planning process and I never worried that I was forgetting something because she was always on top of it. We never hesitated to share what we were thinking with Alexandra—she would present us with a few vendor options and for the most part we were able to find the perfect fit in those options, but if we ever wanted to see more options it was never an issue. Alexandra felt like a friend helping us plan our dream wedding and I can honestly say I will genuinely miss talking to her regularly!

Selecting Alexandra and the First Look Events team as our wedding planner was truly the best decision we could have made!! From our very first conversation, Alexandra was attentive, supportive, and incredibly organized, making the entire process feel effortless and enjoyable. Over the 18 months I worked with Alexandra, she took the time to understand our vision and brought every detail to life with care and professionalism. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer creative solutions whenever needed. Her attention to detail and proactive communication gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled perfectly. On our wedding day, Alexandra and her team exceeded all expectations. Every aspect of the day was seamlessly coordinated, allowing us, our families, and our guests to be fully present and enjoy the celebration. We are beyond grateful for Alexandra and her team for creating such a beautiful and stress-free day! I could not recommend them more!!

My daughter's wedding was perfect!!! Alexandra did an amazing job. From the very first meeting, Alexandra made us feel completely at ease. She is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in our vision. (my daughter's vision) She spoke with my daughter every single day, making sure she felt heard, supported, and excited throughout the entire process. She personally communicated with every single vendor, ensuring everyone was aligned and nothing was left to chance. On the wedding day, her attentiveness was remarkable. She made sure the bride and groom were taken care of every step of the way, and every family member felt seen and welcomed. Nothing fell through the cracks. We didn't have to worry about a thing, which meant we could enjoy this beautiful wedding. Alexandra isn't just talented at what she does, she is a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

First Look Events — and Alexandra in particular — were absolutely incredible. They helped us pull off a large destination wedding in less than five months, all while my husband and I were navigating major job changes. I honestly don’t even want to imagine what the day would have been like without Alexandra leading the way.

When a family illness came up during the wedding, Alexandra went above and beyond — adjusting plans, stepping in where needed, and caring for both me and my mother with such kindness and professionalism. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my husband, our guests, and being fully present in the moment, knowing she had everything else handled. I’ll be forever grateful for her calm, capable presence and her truly thoughtful care.

Not even sure where to start - Brynn did an incredible job planning our daughter's wedding. All the preparation was flawlessly executed. During the week leading up to the wedding, with potentially inclement weather in the forecast, Brynn developed several alternative scenarios. The wedding ceremony was planned outside at a ranch in a picturesque venue, with the party inside in a tent. As we're prepping for the ceremony and the Mother/Father walk down the aisle with our daughter, the skies were turned 'somewhat' unfriendly and stormy. Brynn stayed calm, developed several alternatives, and quickly moved 200+/- guests from the Ceremony venue to the Tent, with no even a broken nail. What a spectacular event, overall - HIGHLY recommend Brynn!

First Look Events was the single best decision we made for our wedding! From our very first call, Sarah put us at ease and walked beside us through every step of the journey. As an out-of-state couple with a Colorado destination wedding, we can’t express how reassuring it was to have someone local we could trust completely. Sarah anticipated the things we didn’t know to ask, handled every detail with such care, and even welcomed our (last minute ! ) shipments into her own home to make things easier on us for items we couldn’t travel with. Those little acts of kindness showed us just how much she genuinely cares. When our wedding day came, Sarah delivered something beyond what we had imagined. Every detail, from the design to the timing to the vendor coordination, was executed so flawlessly that we never once had to worry. There wasn’t a single hiccup, and because of Sarah, we were able to be fully present, soaking in the joy of the day with our loved ones. We also were lucky enough to have the owner of First Look Events, Brynn Swanson, pitch in on the big day and I’ve never seen a better dream team in action - Sarah and Brynn are veterans in wedding/event planning and the type of team you want on your side! It’s also so clear how respected and well-established First Look Events is in the wedding vendor community; their strong relationships with vendors made everything seamless and stress-free. Sarah and her team are not only professionals at what they do, they’re warm, thoughtful, and deeply invested in creating the most beautiful experience for their couples. If you are planning a Colorado mountain wedding or a destination wedding, I’m telling you - you don’t need to look any further!! Sarah, Brynn and the team are the ones who will make your dream day come true.

We could not have been happier with Brynn Swanson and First Look Events for our daughter’s wedding. With over 200 guests, it was a significant event, but Brynn and her team handled every detail with ease, from designing to planning to flawless execution. Her team is a pleasure to work with- professional, creative, communicative, and always responsive. Brynn’s experience is evident in her ability to anticipate potential issues and coordinate every aspect seamlessly. Our guests raved about the wedding, and some have already booked First Look Events for their own events. We’ve recommended her to others and will be using her for our corporate events too. If you want your event to be successful from start to finish. First look Events is the only way to go no matter what size, complexity or budget.

Using Brynn with First Look Events was truly the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process. From the very first call, she brought such calm, confidence, and genuine excitement that instantly made me feel at ease. Brynn handled every detail flawlessly — from vendor communication and timeline management to the smallest personal touches that made the day feel so “us.” No question was ever too small, no change ever too last-minute. She anticipated things before I even thought of them, and it showed in how smoothly everything ran. On the wedding day itself, Brynn was a total rockstar — calm, organized, and somehow everywhere at once. She was able to help us pivot and handle over 200 guests when a storm came in mid-ceremony. My family and bridal party kept saying how incredible she was. Because of her, my husband and I were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment. I can’t imagine our wedding without Brynn. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner — do it, and make sure it’s this one. You’ll be so grateful you did!

For context - I got married in Steamboat Springs with Brynn Swanson as our planner.

Hiring Brynn was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding — and that’s coming from someone who originally thought a planner wasn’t necessary. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Even as a very type-A bride with a deeply involved mom, there are so many things that would have fallen through the cracks without her. From the very beginning, Brynn impressed us with her professionalism and organization. She communicates quickly, is incredibly thorough, and really project-managed the wedding for us from start to finish. She took the time to understand what was most important to us, listened to feedback, and worked patiently with my mom (who was very involved!) throughout the process. Since she’s from Steamboat Springs, she knows the area so well and connected us with several wonderful local vendors. But she also has deep connections in Denver — and we actually chose some of those vendors too. It was clear that if you’re planning a wedding anywhere in Colorado, Brynn will know the right people to bring your vision to life. She constantly thought three steps ahead — in the weeks leading up and on the day of, any question we asked, she had already anticipated and had a plan in place. As someone who cared deeply about certain details, I especially appreciated how Brynn balanced supporting my vision with sharing her honest perspective when something might be logistically challenging. Her honesty, experience, and problem-solving made all the difference. On top of all that, Brynn is warm, funny, and truly loving. She brought such a calm and positive energy to every conversation and every moment of the wedding weekend. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without her — she made it not only seamless, but joyful. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, take it from me: don’t hesitate. Brynn is amazing.
