Suggestions????

Hi everyone-
I'm not quite newly engaged as I got engaged back in April. But we're having a long engagement and it's getting to that time where I need to start looking at places and begin my planning. So I'm actually asking for some references. I currently live in Seattle but my family is from Minnesota and my fiance's family is from Oregon and Florida. We were thinking of getting married in Colorado since it would be middle ground, but I don't have any idea of where a beautiful place is to have an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception in July. Any suggestions of locations or decently priced wedding planners that I could look into? We are on a tighter budget if it helps. I did spend a summer in Denver and would prefer to stay out of the big city for financial purposes, but I'm open minded to anything you are willing to throw at me. Please help direct me. Thanks

The Wedding Sites and Services Magazine is a great reference.

If you want to do a Colorado wedding and will be planning from out of state, I think a wedding planner would be a great investment. I hired Kathy as a day of planner and she's been fabulous, I can only imagine how great she'd be for the whole process! Her company is A Beautiful Memory.

I know a site that has been recommended here a lot is Della Terra in Estes Park and there are a ton of other great mountain venues and resorts. In July you could easily do Breckinridge or Winter Park outdoors and then reception indoors. 

Congrats (belated!) on your engagement! Happy Planning!

I got married at Della Terra Oct 7, 2012.  I loved it, it was amazing.

I attached Della Terra's website and our wedding website to give you an idea of what it looks like outside and inside.  I also have a list of places to stay.

If you need a DJ, Make-up, Hair and Florist recommendations I have that too.  I stayed way under my budget.  The only thing that was pricey was the venue but it was worth it!  I would do it again if I could

Enjoy and congrats!

I got married at Della Terra as well and loved it. All my guests loved it as well and said it was the most beautiful wedding setting they had ever been to. If you can get married on a Sunday or a day of the week it will make it less expensive as well.

if you need suggestions on other vendors let me know I have a bunch and decently priced vendors that did an amazing job.

We are also on a very very tight budget.  I believe we looked at Della Terra and it was a little too pricey for us.  Very pretty but more affordable is the Chateaux at Fox Meadows, which is where we are having ours.  Our wedding is in July as well, so the ceremony will be outdoors and they have a gorgeous indoors for the reception.  Check out the pictures on the website!
