Kallie Sent on 03/28/2024Snowboarding in a wedding dress!
Before hiring a wedding planner, we asked around for recommendations. We only received one name from three different people - Elizabeth (Ebs) Long at Distinctive Mountain Events. She completely lived up to the hype!
After carefully listening to the bride and groom’s somewhat unique request to ski in their wedding attire after the ceremony, Ebs was quick to narrow down the venue options. She helped with transportation for the wedding party to ski and board, as well as referred us to the best photographers, DJs, and florists, keeping our budget in mind. She suggested the best places to shop for wedding attire, as well as provided discount codes for attire and transportation. She advocated with the vendors for us, often getting additional services for low to no cost. We were nicely nudged on checklists when needed, which was important as the wedding was planned in less than 6 months!
Ebs detailed timeline for the wedding weekend was invaluable. She kept the rehearsal moving the night before, negotiated with the venue for additional time in the bridal suite, fixed an issue with the food and drink during the event, and, most importantly, kept the bride and groom calm and happy!
While controlling the weather was not in her job description, Ebs saved the day when terrible weather arrived. On the January wedding weekend, Breckenridge received 3-4 feet of snow, preceded by an arctic blast of cold temps (-20 degrees) and powerful winds (40 mph). The evening before, the mountain pass from Denver closed, meaning the groomsmen missed the rehearsal but arrived safely later that night. On the wedding day, as pictures were starting, Ebs calmly informed us that all ski areas had closed due to high winds. Chairlifts were not running. After consulting with local experts, she quickly came up with a back-up plan. Ebs worked with the shuttle drivers to drop the skiers off on a run that does not need to be accessed by a chairlift – the ski home run at the end of the day. The bride said snowboarding in a wedding dress was easy and it was an added benefit that we were the only ones on the run given the mountain was closed. The wedding was spectacular, despite the crazy weather. A giant thanks to Ebs for the amazing memories!

If you're not sure whether or not you want a wedding coordinator, let me ask you this - do you want to ensure the day goes smoothly? Do you want to be stress free on your wedding day?

From the beginning until the end Elizabeth was incredible. She knew how to manage my wife & I from our stress levels to our expectations based on our budget. We had many moments where we thought we were forgetting something or running late on a deadline and Ebs was always there to help us come back down to earth. You could tell how well she knew the area/the vendors/the venue from our very first call and throughout the entire wedding planning process. Words don't do it justice how grateful we are for DME giving us our dream wedding. The day of the wedding Ebs was the nicest, most caring planner I had ever seen. Typically planners from my experience are the no fun crew during rehearsals or weddings but Elizabeth was anything but that. The calming presence my wife & I needed to truly enjoy the weekend. -

I can’t say enough about Ebs and her team— she made the entire planning process easy, structured (this type A gal loved) and fun! We live states away and it was so easy to trust her throughout this process. She suggested vendors for us to choose from and we loved every single one of them! Natalie was a joy to work with the day of/ day before the wedding. She is So calm, organized and helped with all the tiny details so we could be present and enjoy the day. Forever grateful for them 💜💜 -

I am not someone that plans events, and had a series of questions. Ebs was a brilliant wedding planner that answered them all. On the day of the wedding her team took care of us, like we had our own personal butler. Always positive and friendly, available very often and quick to respond to our emails, we were VERY lucky to find her and her team. -

I cannot overstate how incredible, enjoyable, and invaluable it was to work with Ebs and her team at Distinctive Mountain Events. Our wedding day was nothing short of our dream come true, and that is all thanks to DME’s experience, attention to detail, and love for their clients! We would often joke that we forgot DME even had other clients because we truly felt like such a high priority: DME was always incredibly responsive, and when an issue would come up with a vendor it was often already solved by Ebs and her team before I even had a chance to be worried.
We originally chose DME because we do not live in Colorado full-time, and we knew we needed someone who was familiar with the area and the vendors to help with the planning and execution of the wedding of our dreams. Little did we know, we were getting the most popular, talented, and loved planning team in the area! DME seems to now literally everyone in Summit County and beyond and is well respected by all. All I had to do was say “Oh, I am working with DME” and was treated as a high priority from all vendors. We never, ever felt like DME was looking out for anything other than our best interests. By the end of the entire year (!) we spent working with DME, they had caught so many little details that were over looked by other vendors and essentially saved the day so many times. For example, two days before the wedding she caught the fact that, for some reason, the rental company forgot to add on rain flaps for the tent - which are typically included in any tent order. As it does almost every afternoon in Colorado, it then rained during the wedding dinner. Everyone would have been soaked and freezing if it weren’t for DME! That is just a small example of how invaluable DME is to your wedding. They have so much experience that they literally think through EVERY detail and are insanely organized. I am jealous of any future couple that gets to work with them… I already want to do it all over again!! -

DME is amazing!
Ebs was my planner during the wedding planning process. She was super helpful especially since she is so familiar with all of the venues and vendors in the area which we needed because we live in NY. She was very responsive and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Our planner the day of the wedding was Natalie. She is great too! She was super organized and on top of everything. The transition between Ebs and Natalie was seamless. I would highly recommend DME for any Colorado weddings! They made the entire process so much easier for us! -

Ebs was amazing to work with. Once you give her a clear idea of your vision, she has all the answers. Every time she would recommend someone, she would also provide options, but after looking at all of them she somehow ALWAYS nailed it with the first. She made stressful planning a breeze without pushing anything on you and has the experience to answer all of your questions. It would be easy to talk on and on about how amazing she was to work with, but just hire her and find out. When you get engaged you don't realize how hard planning a wedding CAN be, and with her help, you'll never have to. -

Excellent overall experience
DME and Ebs Long were critical to our wonderful wedding event on June 17th. We worked with Ebs for over a year planning the wedding day activities. Ebs approach was professional yet personal to our own needs and ideas. She made vendor suggestions but was not demanding in any way and allowed us to consider all of the options. When we had a venue change six months into the planning she handled it professionally and kept us focused on new options and all the possibilities. Ebs never wavered and always kept us on track with decision making and encouragement. We could always count on Ebs' up beat approach and positive attitude during our planning calls. To us, DME's value or cost was invaluable. Ebs made it fun, stress free and allowed us to enjoy the wedding day festivities without worry. Don't think twice, hire her. It will be your best decision.

I give my absolute highest recommendation of Ebs (Elizabeth) at Distinctive Mountain Events. She is friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, responsive and even funny! She has been incredibly helpful through what I know to be a very stressful process and she went above and beyond in so many ways. I know I was not always on top of things but she was always patient, insightful, and thoughtful in our communications. Her help with decision-making was invaluable. -

Ebs is AMAZING!
We started talking to her about 2 years before our wedding. We had no idea what we truly wanted, but she had a TON of great ideas. Since we were having a wedding in CO, but we live in MN she helped us schedule site visits for our visit in early July. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we didn't get to meet her in person, but she was always available if we needed help. She has suggestions for venues, bakeries, private homes, DJ's... anything and EVERYTHING!
We loved how reasonably priced her services were. Ebs was willing to set up a payment plan with us to help ensure we got everything we wanted. She was willing to do everything in her power to make sure we got everything we needed for our wedding and ensure our day was perfect.
We would HIGHLY recommend Ebs for your wedding! She was willing to go above and beyond before we even signed a contract or put down a payment.

Our dream wedding
Planning a wedding out of the state can be hard but with Ebs I felt so confident that everything would go perfectly! Ebs was so sweet and nice to work with. She made me think about little details I never would have thought about and logistics of transportation and rentals that never crossed my mind. I felt like she always really listened to me and heard all the details that were special to me. Leading up to the wedding I wasn’t worried at all about how the day would go or about how everything looked; I just got to be excited to finally marry my best friend! And that is such a joy to have on your wedding day to not have to worry about anything else. Ebs made sure to get us perfect vendors to match our style. And Natalie was absolutely amazing on our wedding day making sure everything me and Ebs had planned actually came true! And holy cow did it! I was blown away with how everything came together. Me and Lucas had such an amazing day, exactly how we always dreamed of it (ceremony in the mountains in the morning, skiing in the afternoon, and a long relaxing delicious dinner). I never could of made our dream wedding a reality planning it myself. Ebs and Natalie you both rock! Thank you! -

Distinctive Mountain Events was absolutely extraordinary. I could not have planned this wedding without the help of Ebs. She walked me through every step of planning and steered me in the right direction for the venue and every vendor we used. She went above and beyond during the entire process. I cannot stress enough how helpful she was. Our day of Planner, Natalie, was also amazing. My wedding was perfect and I give full credit to DME. -

We booked Distinctive Mountain Events in order to plan our last minute, covid wedding and I am so happy that we did! They made the entire process so much easier from start to finish and I am beyond grateful. Our day of wedding planner was amazing and it felt like I had my own personal assistant all day long - I loved it! They are professional and prompt and will deliver on all fronts. I highly recommend their services.
