If I could give Brynn and her team at First Look Co. ten stars, I still don’t think it would be enough to capture how extraordinary she truly is. Over a two year wedding planning journey, Brynn was the ultimate visionary, the most dedicated professional, and a steady, calming rock through every single step. Calling her "above and beyond" doesn't even do it justice.

From day one, Brynn’s attention to detail, thoughtful communication, and unwavering positivity set the tone for our entire experience. When we faced curveballs (including a venue change) Brynn handled every transition seamlessly. She took total charge, maintained flawless communication with all of our vendors, kept everyone aligned, and somehow kept the experience feeling joyful and completely stress free for us. She thought of every single detail long before anyone else even realized it was needed, ensuring that my family, our guests, and I felt completely cared for and supported throughout the entire process.

Her brilliant planning was never clearer than on our actual wedding day. The weather was completely unpredictable with rain coming on and off, and my heart was set on an outdoor ceremony. While anyone else might have pushed for the safe indoor backup, Brynn and her team worked absolute magic. She constantly monitored the radar, spotted a brief opening in the weather window, and seamlessly coordinated starting the ceremony slightly early so I could have the exact moment I had always dreamed of. Because of her composure, quick thinking, and impeccable execution, we had our entire ceremony outdoors, rain free, and it was pure perfection.

Brynn doesn't just plan events - she pours her heart into making dreams come true. Her calming energy, thoughtful care, and incredible expertise make her the absolute best of the best. If you want a wedding planner who will champion your vision, handle every detail with effortless grace, and deliver a day beyond your wildest expectations, First Look Co is the company you should go with. We are forever grateful for Brynn and her team!

I truly don’t even know where to begin when it comes to Brynn Swanson and First Look Events. She was beyond amazing from start to finish and gave our family the most magical wedding weekend we could have ever imagined.

Brynn went above and beyond in every possible way. Her attention to detail, creativity, organization, and ability to make everything feel completely effortless far exceeded our expectations. She took our vision and somehow made it even better than we could have dreamed.

More importantly, Brynn genuinely cared about our family and about making the weekend special for all of us. Having her there allowed us to actually be present, enjoy every moment, and soak it all in without worrying about the countless details happening behind the scenes. There is absolutely no way we could have done it without her.

Our daughter's wedding weekend was truly magical, and Brynn was such a huge part of making that happen. We will forever be grateful to her for everything she did for our family. If you are lucky enough to have Brynn and First Look Events plan your wedding or special event, you are in the very best hands. She is simply incredible!

Sarah Gripa with First Look Events was an absolute life saver for my son and daughter in law’s wedding in Steamboat Springs on 9/19/26. We hired her in the summer of 2025, and she graciously endured over a year of questions from us. She was always quick to respond, endlessly patient, and even stepped in to help with a couple of vendors who weren’t getting back to us—despite it not being part of her contract. That alone speaks volumes.
As the wedding day approached and rain crept into the forecast, Sarah was immediately on top of everything. She offered thoughtful solutions, kept everyone calm, and made sure the day would run smoothly no matter what. And yes, it rained. But Sarah was on it. She respected the bride and groom’s wish to keep the ceremony outside and worked swiftly—and calmly—to adjust the setup. Miraculously, the rain stopped just as the processional was about to begin.
I can’t imagine how stressful that moment must have been for her, but you would never have known it. She is a true professional in every sense. Without her, I honestly don’t know what we would have done.
Please do yourself a favor and do not hesitate to hire First Look Events. And if you’re lucky enough to get Sarah as your planner, you’ll understand why our entire extended family—and every guest we’ve spoken to—could not stop raving about her. Even my sister, who has very high standards, was blown away.
Sarah, I can’t thank you enough for making my kids so happy. Hannah even said, “This is my favorite life.” Awe. And you are undoubtedly a BIG part of that. All the gratitude and all the hugs to you and your team.

Sarah was the most amazing planner and made all our dreams come true for the most magical wedding!!! She is so organized and made the entire planning process so easy from start to finish. Sarah and Brynn were so creative with our venue and making a live band fit with our guest size and dance floor wishes, taking a completely never done before idea and making it a reality. Everything was amazing and the space transformation was so beautiful and seamless, and it wouldn't have been possible without the First Look Team and Sarah.

Hiring Brynn with First Look Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She went above and beyond in every possible way to give us the wedding of our dreams, and somehow made the entire experience feel as thoughtful and meaningful as the day itself.

Brynn is the rare combination of exceptionally organized and endlessly creative. She ran a tight ship, kept every detail moving, and was a wonderful steward of our budget. She always helped us understand where to invest and found imaginative solutions without compromising the vision.

From our very first conversations, Brynn listened with such care and intuition that she seemed to understand what I wanted even before I could fully articulate it myself. She has a truly remarkable ability to take a collection of ideas, feelings, and little details and turn them into a vision that feels completely personal. She simply gets it. Because of that, I had complete confidence in her and could genuinely trust her to take the lead. The result was more beautiful, meaningful, and perfectly us than I ever could have imagined.

Her years of experience were evident in every aspect of the process. She anticipated needs before they arose, navigated every decision with confidence, and brought a sense of calm and command that only comes from truly knowing the industry. Her wonderful reputation and strong relationships with other vendors also helped us assemble an exceptional team of people who worked together seamlessly and shared her commitment to making the day extraordinary.

What sets Brynn apart most, though, is how deeply she cares. Her kindness, warmth, and steady presence carried us through every stage of the planning process. We never felt like just another wedding on her calendar. We felt genuinely known, supported, and cared for. She brought so much heart to her work, and that made an already special experience even more meaningful.

Brynn is a creative visionary, a consummate professional, and an extraordinarily lovely person. I began this process looking for a wedding planner, but by the end of it, I had also gained a true friend. We are endlessly grateful for everything she did for us, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you have the opportunity to work with Brynn and the First Look Events team, take it. You will be in the most capable and caring hands.

Alexandra at First Look Events was AMAZING! From the planning process through our wedding day, she made everything feel easy and seamless. We are not the best planners on our own, and she kept us organized and on track every step of the way without ever making the process feel stressful.
On our wedding day, Alexandra anticipated things before they could ever become problems and handled every detail so we could just enjoy ourselves. She completely understood our vision and brought it to life even better than we imagined. Seeing the ceremony and reception spaces come together was incredible.
We truly could not have asked for a better planner and would recommend Alexandra and First Look Events to anyone!

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.
