We cannot recommend Duchess of Denver enough as a wedding planner. Alex went above and beyond every step of the way for our wedding. He always had an answer to any question we had, had many ideas to make our wedding truly unique to us, responded quickly, transformed our event space to a beautiful reception, visited our venue several times to take measurements and create a layout that was perfect for what we needed, thought ahead on almost every issue or concern there may be with a plan, joined any call or meeting we needed with a vendor, had an extremely comprehensive timeline and checklist, and offered valuable advice and input. Outside of all the preparation, when it came time for the big day, I was truly so grateful to have Alex and his team by my side. Your wedding can be an overwhelming day for many reasons and knowing Duchess of Denver was on top of everything allowed me to breathe so much easier and enjoy the day so much more.

Rebecca Sent on 10/16/2023Say Yes to the Duchess
Second to saying yes, hiring the Duchess of Denver was the best wedding decision we made! From spending hours truly getting to know us, to having all the right connections, to gracefully navigating a weather pivot on our wedding day, Alex surpassed every expectation.
My husband and I knew we wanted to create a unique, beautiful wedding experience that we, our family and friends would cherish and remember. We’d wanted elements of a traditional wedding weekend but one that felt fun and not like every other wedding we’d been to. We also knew that, as a busy engineer and lawyer, we had very little knowledge about what goes into a great wedding and very little time or desire to learn the intricacies of “the perfect wedding.”
Alex spent hours asking probing and fun questions. He really got to know our visions, desires and quirks. There were so many times when we said things like “we want a dinner the night before, but not a typical rehearsal reception with people standing around at hightop in a bland conference room.” He absorbed all of it and turned it into a fabulous weekend. Alex’s encyclopedic knowledge about James and Rebecca was invaluable when my work got super crazy a few months before the wedding. When I told Alex that I could do big decisions, but the little ones, like choosing ribbon color or envelopes for invitations, were hurting my brain, Alex stepped in and planned everything based on what he knew about us. Alex found us a breathtaking space in the Penrose Room at the Broadmoor, he coordinated flowers to match my colorful dress, helped pick perfect delicious meal stations that suited a variety of dietary needs, organized the music and stayed on top of the hotel until their 3,000 square foot Parker suite opened up. Alex interviewed and found the best make-up artist, designed hand calligraphed journals for our guests, and created guest bags that with fun and useful things. I could go on and on!
Alex’s management of every detail meant the weekend ran smoothly and everyone was happy! He created a bowling night for our out-of-town guests and wedding party, worked with the hotel make sure family members with friction had rooms far away from each other, stocked our bride and groom suite with snacks and champagne, moved us us through the precise schedule of photos, ceremony and reception, and organized a fun and delicious good-bye brunch. When a surprisingly rainy June meant our outdoor ceremony space was a mud-field, Alex pivoted and redesigned a large alcove in the reception space to be a cozy ceremony space.
So many of our friends and family have said that ours was one of the best weddings they’d ever attended. Ok, ok, maybe they have to say that, but in this case, I think it’s probably true! We would recommend Alex to any couple, especially successful professionals who want to create a first class, memorable experience (but might now have the first clue of how do to it).

Did I say exceptional?
Alex is truly gifted in his field! He was there with us every step of the way in planning our daughter's destination wedding. HIs gift of detail, organization and creativity really shines! He thinks outside of the box to come up with ideas we never would have thought of, many of which we used, and I'm so glad we did! His special touches created a breathtakingly beautiful reception. We are so thankful we used him and you will be too!The Duchess of Denver's reply:
Thank you Paula!!

Alex is truly a gem! He knows exactly what he’s doing and has so much experience. He was extremely organized and thought of EVERYTHING! On our wedding day he was extremely detailed oriented. I literally could not have done it without him and his team. He was there for me when I changed my mind countless of times last minute and was totally ok with it. I LOVE HIM! If you’re looking for an amazing coordinator Alex is the one.The Duchess of Denver's reply:
Thank you Caitlin,
It was a pleasure helping to make your dream wedding day come to life!! Wishing you and Mickey the absolute best in life!!

There are no words to articulate how incredible the Duchess of Denver is! Alexander went above and beyond every single step of the way in planning and executing our 3-day wedding weekend. I'd originally hired a different full-service firm and after 8 months of working together, it was clearly not the right fit. The Duchess swooped in with less than 6 months until the big day and I knew right away that he was the one for me.
Together, we revisited every haphazard decision I'd made to ensure it would not only appease us, but truly light our souls on fire. He approached each and every aspect with the utmost attention to detail and a genuine commitment to bringing our vision to life. He even engaged my then-fiancé in the process, despite my insisting that he had zero interest. Alex helped him find countless reasons to LOVE being involved with the planning process, which is priceless to me.
Alex is assertive when he should be but is always warm, kind, funny, and compassionate. He consistently prioritized accommodating my autistic brother and other guests with health concerns or special needs. He's incredibly knowledgable about Jewish weddings and helped us weave meaning and tradition throughout our wedding day.
Needless to say, the entire weekend was PERFECTLY executed and most importantly, we felt ZERO anxiety. Our families absolutely adored the whole Duchess team - my (difficult to impress) Dad even joked that there must be 3 Alex's because he was everywhere! He flawlessly navigated challenging family dynamics and made sure that everyone felt like a VIP.
Did I mention that we had 106 guests travel across the country for the wedding? He was pretty much famous among our guests by the end of the weekend and every bride-to-be in attendance wanted his contact info.
I had the honor of being Alex's first full-service bride under his own firm/the Duchess of Denver brand, but I am confident that he will be fully booked in no time, so don't snooze on hitting that contact button! There is truly no one like him. Hiring the Duchess of Denver was by far the best decision I made when planning our dream wedding weekend. -

The Duchess Delivers
As a super organized person, I wondered if I would need a month of wedding planner. For anyone who's wondering the same, I'd say to stop wondering, and put your faith in Alex! We could NOT imagine our wedding day without his help. While the service is called ‘Month of,’ he started onboarding with us and our vendors with plenty of time to spare and checked in frequently to make sure our needs were being taken care of. Our wedding was originally planned for September 2020, but we decided to move it a year because of the pandemic. Alex went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and to ensure the vendors honored our contractual changes and understood. The weekend of, Alex was incredible, and because of him I got to feel like a guest at my own wedding. He helped wrangle my fiancee and I, our bridal party, our families and all of our vendors. He was a wedding day QUEEN, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be, what they needed to do, and that we were all having fun in the process. Everyone told us ahead of the wedding "things will surely go wrong, but it's OK." But literally nothing went wrong, and for that we thank Alex.The Duchess of Denver's reply:
Blaire,
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! Honestly it’s all in a days work. If things go the way you’re planning with your fabulous new husband, you’ll never get the chance to be a bride again!! I truly believe that each bride who chooses to have a duchess walk this journey with them deserves the same experience as a princess!!! It was my honor to guide you and your new husband to your “happily ever after!!!.”
Xoxo,
Alexander

Best wedding planner in Colorado!
Alex of The Duchess of Denver was hands down the BEST wedding planner - we couldn’t have had our dream wedding without his guidance and support. We cannot recommend him and Duchess of Denver enough!
My husband and I worked with Alex as we planned for our wedding in Colorado. Living in CA, we knew planning for an out-of-state wedding would come with some challenges, especially planning during a pandemic. Alex made the entire planning process beyond manageable for my me and my husband. He made himself available when any questions came up, regardless of how small or silly the question was. Alex also did a great job communicating to us any COVID updates that may affect our wedding date. We felt like we were in the know during the entire planning process.
Throughout the planning process, Alex did an amazing job of making any task less stressful - he updated all of our vendor contracts into our online portal, helped us organize vendor payments, and communicated any upcoming timelines that needed to be met. Alex ALWAYS provided the feedback that we needed regarding decor decisions we needed to make. He went above and beyond to make sure the entire process was as stress-free as possible.
The week of the wedding, Alex was our saving grace! The day of our rehearsal walk-through, Alex went out of his way to meet with our jeweler to pick up our wedding bands for the wedding the next day. When we found out that my husband's wedding band had gotten lost by FedEx, Alex managed to find a replacement band for the wedding day. He also created a photo-shoot backdrop in place of our neon sign that did not make it in time for the wedding (thanks again Alex!).
The day of the wedding, Alex continued to 'wow' us by the effort and dedication that went into making our day completely perfect and magical. He made sure we did not have to worry about a single thing the day of and allowed us to enjoy our time with each other as newly weds, and with our friends and family. The amount of work Alex put into making our day as special as it was, was incredible. We truly cannot put into words how grateful we were to have him with us for our big day.
Thank you again Alex!!! -
