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.

We were originally on the fence about whether or not we needed to book a wedding coordinator at all. Pretty quickly after we booked Brette we realized that our dream wedding could not have been possible without her.
Throughout the planning process, her experience and insight was invaluable. She checked in with us regularly in the months leading up to our wedding day, and made sure that every single detail was considered and planned out. She even made the trip out to our remote venue in Gunnison a couple months before the wedding to make sure she was prepared to make sure our wedding ran smoothly.
On the day of the wedding, she helped out so much with decor set-up, vendor coordination, and keeping the timeline on track. She was an absolute superstar and she handled everything with grace and a positive attitude (including our rowdy groomsmen). We could tell Brette genuinely cared about us and wanted to make sure out wedding day was the best day ever. We cannot recommend Wild Poppy Events enough!
I can’t recommend Brette enough! She helped me plan my wedding timeline last August, and I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. From organizing the flow of the day to making sure all the small details were accounted for, she brought so much calm, structure, and joy to the process. Everything ran so smoothly and I was actually able to relax and enjoy the day. She has such a gift for this and cares deeply about making your day as special and stress free as possible. 💛
I cannot say enough amazing things about Brette. From the very beginning, she was a true professional and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Her organization and communication skills made the entire planning process stress-free, and on the day of the wedding, she was amazing. Everything went off without a hitch, and I was able to enjoy every moment of my special day knowing that she had everything under control. Thanks to her, our wedding day was absolutely magical. I highly recommend her to anyone planning their big day!
