You Need Her
Planning a wedding in Telluride could have been stressful, but with Krysta, it was so easy. She knew the right people, made incredible recommendations, and coordinated a seamless day. She knew I wanted to get married with snow falling and she called in a favor from Mother Nature - kidding, but she was ready to get us out there in the snowfall and it turned out even better than I imagined. She would pop in to see how I was doing the day of, and disappear to work her magic. She came prepared for anything that could go wrong and if it did, well, I had no idea. I cannot appreciate her enough. She is organized, detailed, and calm in all situations. You need her.Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you for those kind words, Renee! Yours and Daniel's wedding was pure magic and one of my all time favorite winter weddings. I loved all the small details that were worked into your day so that it was uniquely yours. From your pink gown to Daniel's braids representing his girls, and from all the circles symbolizing endless love to that epic first dance- it was all so wonderful and I am honored you allowed me to be apart of it. Looking forward to seeing all four of you back in the area again soon. -

Dream Wedding
Krysta and her team are excellent! I had a destination wedding, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. Every detail, idea, and vision was met. If I could do it again, I would choose Elevations Weddings & Events!Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you, Karen! You and Eddie were so much fun and I really enjoyed getting to know the two of you throughout the planning process. I can't wait to see you all again! -

Krysta Cossitt is the BEST!
Krysta’s consultations were most helpful and guided us through the planning process! Our events were at the Top of the Pines, which requires everything be brought in - tent, sound, catering equipment, etc. Krysta worked directly with the rental company to iron out details and provided us with checklists that were critical for our DIY wedding. As the mother of the bride, Krysta was the magic and helping hands that made our weekend organized and perfect.Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Marge - I am so glad that my consulting services were helpful and guided you in planning a beautiful mountain top wedding. Thank you for your kind words! -

I recently had the pleasure of working with Krysta and her team and I can confidently say that she was incredible in every way. From the moment we hired her until the last dance at our wedding, she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfection.
Krysta has unparalleled attention to detail. She meticulously organized every aspect of our wedding, from the venue selection to the smallest decor details. Her creative vision and expertise turned our dreams into a breathtaking reality.
One of the standout qualities of Krysta is her exceptional communication skills. She kept us informed and involved throughout the entire planning process, making sure our voices were heard and our wishes were met. Her ability to listen and understand our vision was truly remarkable.
On the big day, Krysta and her team executed flawlessly. From managing the vendors to keeping the timeline on track, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day, knowing that she had everything under control.
But what sets Krysta apart is her genuine passion for what she does. She treated our wedding as if it were her own, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Her positive attitude and calming presence were a true blessing during a stressful time.
In summary, Krysta is not just a wedding planner but a wedding magician. If you're looking for someone who will turn your wedding dreams into a beautiful reality while providing unwavering support and professionalism, Krysta is the one for you. We are forever grateful for her dedication and the unforgettable memories she helped us create.
Thank you, Krysta, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. We couldn't have done it without you!
Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Wow, thank you so much for these kind words. I'm beyond pleased that my passion for weddings was apparent throughout the planning process. You and Megan were such a joy to work with and I loved your vision. Making it all come together was so enjoyable! I will definitely look back on this wedding as one of my favorites. I hope to see the two of you (and Mack 🐶) again, hitting the back roads of Ouray County. Best! -

Krysta Saves the Day
We were the typical couple that thought they could do it themselves…wow were we wrong. Had we continued, we would have been so stuck without Krysta!! We had no idea what it took to plan a wedding but she sure does. With a limited time frame, she absolutely killed it. From the communication to the execution, 10/10. There's not a single thing I wish she would have done differently. Krysta asked us what we’d like, specifically. And every one of the little details we wanted, made it into the wedding! She knows her locations really well, she knows all the vendors (even the ones you didn’t know about) and she has a delicate way of conducting business, while also not dealing with any BS. We barely saw her during the wedding, but we knew she was HANDLING BUSINESS. The person behind the scenes, calling the shots and keeping out of sight. Which was bitter sweet because we love her! Haha Our wedding was perfect, thanks to her and Elevation Weddings and Events. THANK YOU Krysta so so much!

Thank you for that, Henry! I was so thrilled when you and Cadi came to me needing my help. The wedding you envisioned in Ouray was exactly the type of wedding I love to plan and coordinate. And even though the weather teased us the day prior, it did not disappoint the day-of. That coupled with a great group of friends and family, a beautiful and joyful couple, and top notch wedding vendors, an absolutely perfect day was created! -

Gabriella B. Sent on 09/10/2022Incredible!
There are just no words to explain how thankfully we are for everything Krysta did to make our wedding weekend absolutely perfect!
Krysta helped us plan our wedding over the course of three years. We rescheduled 2 times due to covid, and if it wasn’t for Krysta, the whole thing wouldn’t have happened at all.
We had to renegotiate contracts, find new vendors and coordinate transport and accommodation for many international travelers. There was so many logistics surrounding our wedding, but Krysta took it in her stride and executed everything perfectly.
Before beginning the wedding planning process, I considered not hiring a wedding planner. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, please just DO IT. It’ll be the best thing you do:
1. Krysta reviewed and negotiated contracts for us to ensure we were protected
2. Krysta thought of details we would have not even considered
3. Krysta is so straightforward and honest. Having coordinated so many events and weddings, she knows what works, and what doesn’t. Several times I would have an idea, and Krysta would say “in reality that doesn’t work, BUT you could do this instead”. Her ideas were always 10x better than my originally idea, and worked perfectly.
4. Krysta has relationships with awesome vendors. We would hire every single one of them again in a heartbeat
5. During the wedding weekend, we were able to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. Krysta seamlessly executed everything and we didn’t have to lift a finger.
6. After the wedding, Krysta worked with the vendors to clean the venue and collected any unused items. She took the time to return unused items for us, and mail back some items to California. These may seem like small things, but they make such a huge difference.
Krysta went above and beyond to ensure not only we, but all of our guests were happy and having a great time. She made herself available to answer questions and help out in any way she could.
Our wedding weekend was without a doubt the best of our lives, and we have Krysta to thank for that. Every detail was thought out.
Whether you’re planning a local or destination wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Krysta. It will be the best decision you ever make. Thank you Krysta for EVERYTHING - you are one of a kind and we’re lucky we found you!
Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Wow, thank you Gabi! I really enjoyed getting to know you and Alex better over the last few years. I also enjoyed meeting your friends and family and spending time with everyone! I know we joked about getting your wedding over the finish line but I have to say I am a bit sad that it is now complete. Should we plan something else? :-) -

Our Perfect Day in Ouray!
We had the most incredible, beautiful perfect wedding day - all thanks to Krysta! She helped my husband and I pull off the most incredible last minute elopement: we hired her in late March for our wedding on May 22. Neither of us had even been to Ouray or the San Juan's, so we were truly going into planning our elopement blind. From our very first exploratory call, Krysta was incredible patient with my billion questions (I am a planner and perfectionist so I have no doubt I can be frustrating!). From the day we hired her to the day of our wedding, we worried about very little. She helped keep us on track with reminders and set my worried mind at ease whenever I doubted we would be able to pull it all off with such a limited timeline. It actually snowed in Ouray two days before our big day and I called Krysta a bit freaked out: my dress was strapless and my shoes were open toed wedges. I had zero coverage as we are from Phoenix and no dress stores sell that kind of item in our area. As an example of her awesomeness - she let me borrow a beautiful stole to keep me warm. It elevated my whole look and made it look elegant and as a bonus it staved off the frostbite:) All I can say is that at the end of it all...I can't imagine having had a more idyllic wedding: it will forever live in my heart as one of the happiest days of my life and James and I could not be more grateful to you for all your help and kindness and professionalism Krysta! Thank you so much for helping us pull off such a beautiful day. We highly recommend Elevation Weddings!Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Amanda and James, thank you so much for the kind words. I was so excited to get your call and help you plan an amazing elopement. You two were really great and I loved incorporating all the little uniquenesses into the day. Your first dance will be one I'll always remember! And it was an honor to have you wear one of my furs. I just love it when someone can get use out of vintage items like the stole. You looked incredible in it! -

Great Planner
It was such a great experience working with Krysta. She has a lot of knowledge on how things are done in Telluride and what vendors are available there. She was very calm during times I was extremely nervous. The day of the wedding she took care of a few issues seamlessly. Thank you for the wedding of our dreams!Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Gaby! I enjoyed getting to know you and Aaron over the last couple of years. You both were troopers through all the hurdles covid created. Waiting two years to finally tie the knot was worth it, though, because your Telluride wedding was amazing! The moody weather created a unique backdrop that paired well with your jewel toned color palette. Hands down the best first dance I’ve seen yet! And I’ll never forget how kind and fun your guests were. Looking forward to seeing you both (and Gordo) again!!! -

Krysta was nothing short of amazing!
When Krysta met with my husband and I she took on our complete (unique & bold) wedding vision & turned it into reality! She was always focused on our vision & how we wanted things to go/look the weekend of our wedding.
With Krysta’s knowledge, experience & leadership she took all the pressure off of us by communicating and answering all of our questions quickly, she was with us when we met with vendors and handled all the questions we wouldn’t have thought of asking.
By far the best wedding investment we could have made. Being stress free throughout the wedding planning process is truly priceless but beyond that Krysta understood the assignment and did it all with a smile & professionalism.
There will never be enough words to express how grateful we were to have had her!Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you, Gigi! It was such a pleasure planning yours and Wayne's wedding. Making your style and vision come to life was so much fun. It was also uniquely yours and I not only appreciate that but also thrive on it. You two were such a joy and your friends and family as well. I'm thrilled that you are somewhat local to the area because I hope to stay in touch and see you two again in the near future. Best! -

Small wedding perfection
My groom and I, attended by three guests, eloped outside Ouray this June. Per our vague instructions, Krysta organized a charming outdoor ceremony with a picnic and ukulele player. I appreciated how she employed local artisans to supply our cake, food, and other necessities. I found the planning process simple and stress free.Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you for the review, Michala. I really enjoyed working with you and Brandon. I especially enjoyed witnessing your vow exchange. I'm pleased to hear that you appreciated the collaboration with local vendors as we certainly enjoy and know how to pull off an adventure elopement in the mountains! -

Best coordinator ever!!
We could wrap this whole entire experience up with the word REMARKABLE! Krysta and her team are simply at a level higher than impeccable! We knew we wanted her from the first conversation with her. She is a delightful individual, and super easy to work with. There is no task too big for her! I’m pretty sure we had some obstacles to overcome with our one of a kind style wedding, but she made everything happen flawlessly & with finesse. We had 27 people doing a jeep tour over Imogene pass from Ouray to Telluride, and stopped at 2 secret locations for our jaw dropping perfect wedding ceremony & stunning mountainside full sit down luncheon reception. Her recommendations were perfect & the crew she coordinated for us were people that made an impression on our hearts forever. This was a day that not only WE will cherish forever, but our guests as well! There was not a single person in the crowd who wasn’t impressed with Krysta’s services & organization. Her charges are extremely reasonable considering her hard work ethic, dedication to superbness & innovative ideas. We definitely would recommend her to anyone! She is the sweetest, most kind, loving person & will do anything above & beyond to make your day the most perfect day of your life! The only regret we have is that we couldn’t spend more time with her! 5 stars for sure!
Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Wow! Thank you so much, Christina! I can't tell you enough how much fun I had planning your wedding. Your adventurous personalities were exactly the right fit for your epic high altitude wedding. And, I am so grateful you trusted me to make that vision become a reality. I will never forget your waterfall side ceremony, butterfly release, and your guests' smiling faces when they arrived for lunch at 11,000 feet. I hope we get to meet again in the mountains! -

Krysta was amazing every step of the way, from the initial planning stages to executing a flawless wedding day. She is extremely flexible and equipped to handle any situation that might come up. We would not have been able to pull it off without Krysta! She provided fantastic recommendations for local vendors that we would not have known about without her knowledge of the area. The day went perfectly thanks to Krysta’s attention to detail and care!Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you, Rachel! I so enjoyed working with you and Mackenzie on planning your beautiful wedding. It’s people like you that make me feel so blessed for ending up in the wedding industry. I hope our paths cross again soon! -

Katherine Sent on 10/29/2019Krysta is a Rock Star!
We owe so many thanks to Elevation Weddings and Events for helping us throw an epic celebration of love in the remote mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado. Krysta is friendly, responsive, attentive to detail, and an excellent listener. My husband and I had a pretty laid back/non-traditional approach to our wedding and when explaining our vision to Krysta, we never felt judged or pressured. Krysta allowed us to stay true to ourselves while also providing excellent guidance and support. The wedding day timeline was especially helpful and Krysta had great suggestions on how to make the whole day flow. Also, because of a scheduling issue (our fault) we weren't able to do our rehearsal at the actual ceremony location, and Krysta handled it like a total champ. The day-of went off without a hitch and it was so wonderful to fully enjoy our wedding with zero stress knowing that Krysta had everything handled. If you're looking for a kind, professional, all around rock star wedding coordinator, look no further!!Elevation Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you, Kat! I'm pleased to hear that I was able to provide a stress free experience. You and Joey were so great to work alongside! Your wedding was a ton of fun and one of the best late night dance parties I've been to in awhile.
