Words cannot begin to express...

Taylor and Sarah did such an amazing job planning and executing our wedding. We had some pretty unique requests (LGBTQ owned or ally vendors, sober/recovery friendly options with a full bar still available, non-religious only) and they were able to recommend the perfect vendor for our every need. They were organized, efficient, communicative and kept our stress levels to an absolute minimum. The wedding went off without a single hiccup and the day was absolutely stunning. They're the best in the biz and worth every penny and then some for sure!

So much more than event planners

Mountainside Events is so much more than an event planning company, they are incredible human beings and dedicated to the art of running an event! 10/10 hands down.

We are actually from DFW Texas and wanted a very small destination wedding in Colorado! We got engaged in December 2023 and began planning in January 2024 for a December 2024 wedding at The Boulders at Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park-- we reached out because of great reviews and because the business was women and LGBT owned! We got a prompt response from Taylor and soon after we began hashing things out, we were introduced to Sarah. When I say I literally COULD NOT recommend a better and more kind, equipped, and nimble coordinator!!! Sarah is so fantastic, incredibly organized, and her positive "don't sweat it" energy makes the entire planning process feel like a breeze. The wedding was super easy to plan with her help, which was worth its weight in gold when both my spouse and I work full-time! We were able to make 'fun' decisions more often than logistical ones :)

We did opt for their largest planning package, but I would spend that over and over again for the level of effort and care that went into our wedding. Every vendor she recommended to us and helped us hire was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! I have no doubt that their month of coordination and elopement packages and all other offerings have the same level of care dedicated to your event, and their relationships with other local event services really helped us get the best and brightest vendor team.

On a more personal level, two days before our wedding there was a huge and heartbreaking falling out with our families, to the point where we were worried the day might be ruined and irreparable. Sarah picked up the phone immediately, patiently sat on the phone with me as I cried, told me to not worry about logistics, that was the easy part, but to call her if I needed to talk or if either my spouse or I needed anything at all. She also personally drove my in-laws to our rehearsal dinner in her car when they got iced out of their AirBNB the next day, and worked her magic with the venue staff to organize a shuttle to pick them up after as well for an incredible price. She made edits to the timeline on the fly so seamlessly, it's like they were written into the plan from the start.

The day of was FLAWLESS. If there was any sort of issue, we did not hear about it! I was a little nervous getting ready on my own that morning but as soon as Sarah and Taylor showed up literally all of that melted away. Everything came together beautifully and was set up exactly as we envisioned. Sarah even helped pack up our belongings, food and cake, and grabbed our room key to go put it in our suite fridge so we didn't have to. I am certain she did so much more behind the scenes that we didn't even know about since we were so busy having fun dancing. Both of them were so, so sweet. I honestly had no expectations one way or another, but it truly was the best day of my life, and my spouse Elliott agrees. :)

I, the wife lol, am incredibly Type-A and have a hard time relinquishing control in my daily life. The way Sarah did everything the way I would have, or BETTER, made this feel like such a dream. We were truly guests of honor at our own wedding and basically all we had to do at the end of the night was sober up and grab our junk from the getting ready rooms, haha.

I know this is so long winded already, but if you're on the fence about it, PICK MOUNTAINSIDE EVENTS!!!!! You will not be disappointed, it's some of the best money we've ever spent. Sarah, we mean this from the bottom of our hearts, we'll never forget this and you mean so much to us. We hope you and Taylor stay in touch!!!

Mountainside Events Review

Can not say enough positive things! We chose to do day of coordination and was so happy with Taylor Strope. She communicated with me leading up to my wedding day, was always available, and thought of every last detail so I didn't have to. I had zero stress on my wedding day because she has taken care of EVERYTHING. So happy we found her and had her for our wedding day. Extremely professional, experienced, and great to work with.
