Written By Amber Andrew

WHAT: Dreamy Country Chic Autumn Wedding

WHEN: September 21st, 2023

WHERE: Purgatory Ski Resort

COORDINATORS: Amber + Nate

VIBES: Approachable, Western, Romantic, Mountains

These are a few of my favorite things:

Private vows

The newly weds decided to exchange vows privately after the ceremony and it was such an authentic meaninful way to add a personal touch to the lifetime commitment of marriage. A GREAT option if you’re opting to not do a first look (these guys did a first touch and shot together and it was the most amazing thing).

Western details

Special cowgirl boots, custom embroidered jean jacket, big bold sunflowers and leather flasks made this resort wedding customized and gorgeous. A few great country music classics for first dances tied the whole thing together. So. Many. Happy. Tears.

The Kindest people

Erika and Joe were truly and madly in love with each other and it showed. Their people loved them and the whole wedding party was so kind to everyone involved in the curation of their big day. All of our couples are amazing but Erika + Joe are the type of people that make you wish you could write glowing reviews of clients.

Speaking of reviews… here is theirs:

Amber at Durango Event Planners is hands down the best thing that happened to our wedding. I called her with lots of frustration about our venue and communication with them. She was so kind and understanding. After we hired her we immediately help a weight was lifted off our shoulders. Her and husband made everything run so smoothly the day of our wedding, I didn't have to think of a thing. She wrangled our at times wild wedding party and got them where they needed to be. She is great at communicating and answered any questions we had. If I could give anyone wedding advice, its get yourself a day of planner, and even better hire Amber and her team. Thank you Amber for making our day so amazing!
