Buckle up, this is going to be a long winded dedication comment to explain the extreme badassery that is the entire team at Ken Caryl.

Amanda Myers, the person we originally met with as we toured the venue and first became interested in Wedgewood locations in Colorado. She matched my energy level from the very beginning, and walked us around while bringing our vision to life as she asked us questions and offered suggestions to make the wedding what we wanted it to be. While she didn't end up being our day of coordinator, she still helped us through out the entire planning process and remained in contact.

Heidi Mentz, our day of coordinator. We had been in contact with her as much as the rest of the planning team at Ken Caryl, and when we finally met her in person and sat down together to discuss the final details we were blown away. She was amazing at everything she did, putting every worry we had to rest and helping the bride, Erika, as the bride explained her back up plans for the day of. Without judgement, Heidi understood our need to not have anyone ruin the day we had been looking forward to for so long. During the final meeting Heidi helped the bride with the itinerary and adjusted what they had been discussed previously to meet the new needs of the photographer and family requests at the last minute. She did so with grace, humor and excitement that we fed off of. Heidi kept a level head and energy that was so relaxed. Anytime something came up, it was immediately handled without hesitation and constant reassurance that it wasn't a problem for her to handle, or that it wouldn't take anything to clear it up and right whatever the issue was. The bride was so pleased about the expert care Heidi took in keeping everything going smoothly without making Erika feel rushed or pressured about anything. Heidi was a coordinating ninja as she ran around with a smile on her face, taking care of the Bride and Groom. The bride has no words for just how amazing Heidi was to her, and we can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Shayna, our banquet captain, was Heidi's second in command during our wedding. She was ready for anything that was asked of her, always keeping an eye on the time and on the bride and groom. They did a wonderful job executing everything and being a calm presence around us on our day.

Our photobooth attendant, K.C was wonderful and expressed her joy at the Star Wars theme of our wedding. Everyone who spoke to her said she was funny and professional while she helped them navigate the photobooth and get them their pictures.

Our servers, Cane and Sydney, the bride and groom didn't get much time with them because of the rush of a wedding, but there were nothing but good things mentioned about them from our guests and how smoothly they worked during the wedding. Thank you both so much!

Our bartender Nicholas, you served those drinks with a smile and had our guests laughing with you as you spoke. The first time the Bride came to the bar, he was phenomenal with his service and warm smile. The drinks were heaven, and we only wish we could've enjoyed more from him!

Our chefs, Chris and Brett, I don't think we actually got a chance to meet either of you, but that food. Oh.My.Goodness. The bride would've happily died living off of nothing but the macaroni and cheese croquettes, as well as the entire stunning breakfast buffet they served. We would recommend that choice of food and those chefs specifically for anyone doing an event with Ken Caryl Vista!

Kade Gooderham, don't think we forgot about you! We met with Kade during a details meeting, as well as being in contact with them during the whole process with the rest of the Ken Caryl Team. They did a wonderful job of keeping us on track, reminding us of things they recommended be completed by a certain time for everything to run smoothly. They addressed our concerns at the budget, and worked with us to figure out what we needed and what we didn't. We are positive that Kade could handle anything thrown their way without batting an eye! Thank you SO SO MUCH KADE!

Working with Kade, Heidi, and all of the other staff at Wedgewood was an incredible experience! My husband and I felt that our day was perfect and because of their guidance and transparency, we were able to feel confident and comfortable heading into our wedding day. They were extremely flexible with what we hoped for in our reception and were patient in walking through every step with us. Also, we (and all of our guests) LOVED the food :) We can not recommend them enough and are so grateful they were a part of such an important day in our lives!

Hands down the best experience I could have asked for with planning our wedding. From the professionalism of the staff, the in-depth details they knew about planning, and the execution - it was AMAZING. Day of: Amanda took our muddled vision and brought it to life! It was incredible.
