I believe the best celebrations are an extension of who you are. For my clients, that means breaking away from tradition and embracing the wild beauty of Colorado.
My career in wedding planning began with a simple idea: a wedding shouldn’t be a stressful, one-day performance. It should be an authentic experience, both for the couple and for their guests. After years of exploring the backcountry & playing tourist in my own backyard, I dedicated myself to merging the spirit of adventure with the art of thoughtful event planning.
My process is built on a foundation of local knowledge and intentional design. Planning a wedding in our high-alpine corridor—from Crested Butte to Telluride and Ouray—requires more than just a vendor list; it demands specialized, local expertise. This is where Wild Poppy sets the standard. I know which venues have the best sunset views in the San Juans, the chefs who can create a masterpiece (not just a meal – and as food is my love language, this one I KNOW!), and the high-altitude realities that need to be managed for a seamless guest experience. My job is to be your advocate and cheerleader, translating your vision into a flawless reality.

I do not even know where to start to talk about how amazing Brette is. Hiring Brette to be our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made for that day! She made our whole day go by so easy and everything was seriously perfect all day! Our families could not stop talking about(still do days later) how amazing Brette is! She goes above and beyond for couples to make sure your day is exactly how you want it and envisioned it. Even the year leading up to our wedding, she would make my mind at ease and I didn’t feel any stress, if I was stressed about something or worried she would handle it or just give the best advice. Besides setting up tables exactly how we envisioned them, she also was pouring water/ drinks for our guests, made a pot of coffee, she really does everything!! If I needed anything on the day she did it, was truly incredible. My fiancé and I keep saying to each other “thank goodness for Brette” when we look at photos of our tables or videos from our day. I have been in many weddings and Brette by far has been the best wedding planner I have ever met! I would highly encourage anyone who is thinking about hiring her to do it! She will make sure your wedding day is the best day of your life!
We can’t say enough how much we appreciate Brette and all that she did to make our big day a success – which it absolutely was! We had one of if not THE best weekend of our lives. We heard from so many members of our family and friends what a magical weekend it was and everyone said that it was one of if not THE best wedding they’ve ever been to – and I don’t think they’re just being nice. Brette and team truly made it go off without a hitch (or if there was, we didn’t know about it…) 😉 It has been such a pleasure working with her. Brette’s cheerfulness, sense of humor, and can-do attitude made a year and a half of wedding planning very calm for us.
Working with Brette was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, she was professional, kind, and incredibly organized. She checked in regularly, kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and made sure we stayed on track without ever feeling overwhelmed.
Brette truly went above and beyond for us. When the City of Silverton unexpectedly increased our venue rate despite our signed contract, she didn’t hesitate to step in. She attended city meetings and advocated on our behalf, a role far outside the typical responsibilities of a wedding planner.
Choosing Brette was truly an easy decision, and one we’d make again in a heartbeat.
