(More here on Colorado Elopement Packages)

“I’m still in awe at how serene our wedding day was. From the moment that you and I spoke over the phone to the day of our ceremony, I had a constant feeling of calmness. We appreciated your guidance throughout the process and very much enjoyed the date nights and activities that you prepared. Those moments allowed us to take a deep breath and truly focus on each other, our relationship and our upcoming nuptials. 

Our wedding day could not have gone any smoother! We were so grateful to have our children as part of the ceremony and I love that you helped make them feel included and an important part of the day. Sharee captured so many special moments and we will enjoy the photos for years and years to come. There were so many wonderful emotions as we were surrounded by the beautiful flatirons - it was perfect. 

Thank you for such a touching ceremony and making our day so memorable. You and Sharee are such professionals with so much heart and we enjoyed sharing our day with you! I look forward to staying connected and love receiving your emails!” - Shawna & Keith

"I could honestly write an essay about how happy I was with everything - the planning phase and the day of the wedding was flawless on your end. Communication was always easy with you. You have such a genuine personality and it felt like you truly love doing this. It never felt impersonal. I really liked your personal website you built for us so it was easy to find all of the information about our elopement date. Your couple questionnaire was detailed and so fun for us to do and created the perfect ceremony script.

I could go on and on about how amazing our photographer, Sharee, and officiant, Stephen, were. Our few wedding guests couldn’t stop talking about how impressed they were with the ceremony from Stephen. Sharee was AMAZING!!! I’m super uncomfortable in front of the camera and she made it so fun and comfortable. I have only seen a few sneak peak photos but so far they are amazing. You have such an amazing team.

Overall you made the planning process effortless, stress free, and fun. The day of elopement was just the same. So so grateful for your help along the way!!" - Alyssa & Austin

"Our expectations with Lisa & her team were not just met, they were completely exceeded. My day, and the days leading up to the wedding, were absolutely perfect thanks to Lisa!

I love everything about our experience. Lisa cares about her couples and connecting with them prior to the wedding ceremony. Living in Ohio and getting married in Colorado we thought it would be hard communicating our wants & needs across the country. Lisa kept in touch, sent us cute activities & notes, and made us feel totally at ease with the whole process. We wouldn’t change a single thing about our day and time leading up to our day.

We can’t even begin to say enough about how wonderful Lisa is. We will forever be thankful for her and cherish everything she did for us. We have already recommended her to everyone that asks! " - Cadyn & Michael

"Lisa and Sharee were a joy to work with. We were looking for a stress-free and meaningful experience in our elopement, and they created that for us. We particularly enjoyed the vow creation workbook that Lisa shared with us. It, along with all the other materials and emails she shared, helped us to connect and get excited about getting married.

On the day, it could not have gone more perfectly. It was wonderful to have such a customized ceremony for the two of us, and taking photos with Sharee was so much fun and left us with gorgeous reminders of that moment." - Morgan & Christopher

"Working with you was the best experience I could have imagined! While doing research and I mean a ton of research throughout Colorado and Florida your website left the biggest impression on me and I just kept coming back. Then when we had our first call I knew for sure you would be the one to do our ceremony! You felt like a friend immediately and it was easy to tell you about our journey.

We never thought we would be able to plan a whole wedding in 30 days but you reassured us that it was possible! And in that 30 days the way you took the time to get to know us and personalize our whole ceremony and experience was incredible! In such a short time you helped walk us through the whole process to make everything up to ceremony day seamlessly simple.

And ceremony day was beyond words! It didn’t feel like we were meeting a stranger out in a Forrest on a mountain, it felt like we already knew you! The ceremony itself was so beautiful and so intimate and it was more than we could have imagined! We loved everything about our ceremony you were amazing, the location was a dream and the over all experience was unimaginable! We never imagined we could experience something like this and it wouldn’t have been possible without you! Thank you for everything! Our wedding day changed our whole lives!" - Peyton & Genia

"Thank you so so so very much for making our day so perfect. Cannot tell you how dreamy it was and I still keep thinking about it non-stop. Ack just thinking about it is making me tear up now. Thank you - cannot extend enough thanks!" - Katie & Jared

"Ok seriously wow! The ceremony Officiant Lisa created for my husband and I, was everything we hoped for and more. From our first contact, which came surprisingly as a same day reply, Lisa met us with clear communication, kindness, and genuine excitement for our big day.

She offered breathtaking location options, a reasonably priced package which included a great photographer and meaningful insights leading-up to our elopement day. Coming from out of town it meant a great deal to us to have a personalized elopement guide which included trusted vendor suggestions for our cake, flowers and make-up, concise marriage license guidance, and a wedding night dinner recommendation that was PERFECTION for us.

Our Boulder elopement ceremony was truly magical. It also lasted within the allotted time without feeling rushed! We very much appreciated Lisa’s non-judgmental, welcoming approach which honored our spiritual beliefs. Officiant Lisa is truly a gift to couples who want an authentic, intimate, personalized ceremony in a gorgeous mountain setting. Out of five stars we rate her at ten thousand! " - Tai & Miles

"I am struggling for words to express how grateful I am for your guidance and witness and ministering during this transition. Evan and I have been talking a lot about how glad we are we worked with you and wrote our own vows, something I'm not sure we would have done otherwise. And our actual ceremony was so much more than we imagined it would be. Your reverence and joy are contagious and you and Sharee have a synergy that really works. We were able to be ourselves, strong emotions and all ;) and Pete was a gift too! So supportive and present. 

We loved everything about your vow adventure kit and how you guided us through the process of ceremony-creation. The talks we had, prompted by your questions and the vow-writing process, brought us closer as a couple in the weeks before our wedding. I also loved that you focused on deciding on shared commitments. We got to our wedding day knowing exactly what we were promising one another, and they were mutual promises. It just feels like a powerful foundation for our marriage. It's what I was longing for but didn't know exactly how to bring it about for us.

And as for the ceremony itself, I felt so guided and supported, without having to worry about all of the details. The ceremony spot was perfect for us, the mountain felt absolutely magical and we can't wait to go back. We're already talking about having our one-year anniversary in Boulder and doing some more exploring. I don't know if I shared with you that one of the reasons I chose to work with you was because when I read through your website and materials, I got chills and tears and I just felt an authenticity radiating from you. I'm so glad I trusted that and we had you as our officiant. You're so grounded and thoughtful and kind. Thank you so much again for everything <3" - Sarah & Evan

"When Jim and I decided to elope, the biggest question in my mind was who will do this and where will it be? I started searching online for help/advice/details. Of all the elopement services that popped up, yours spoke to me - immediately. I could tell by your words, stories, and photographs that you had a kind way about you. I wanted to have someone marry us who really cared about what they were doing (which you clearly do), and someone who made an effort to get to know us...becoming an integral part of our ceremony (which you did - beautifully). I loved your genuine, honest approach, sense of humor, great attention to detail, and your availability to answer questions and provide suggestions in a timely manner. I could not have asked for more. I thought from the beginning that your company stood out - now I know that to be true! Thank you for all your effort and thoughtfulness." - Polly & Jim

"Thanks again for everything you did for us! It really was a perfect day and the ceremony was everything we could have wanted. You really knocked it out of the park for us! I can’t stop thinking about it. And the sneak peek photos from Sharee and Natasha were really amazing, really beyond what I imagined! We’re super happy with everything and so glad we got to have you guys do our elopement. And of course I’m glad to keep in touch and grateful to know you’re available for us. You were really did such an awesome job guiding us through this life milestone, I’m so glad we trusted you with it! " - JoAnna & Matthew

“We are still glowing from that amazing ceremony. It was everything we wanted and more!” - Melissa & Alec

"A simple google search lead me to you. I knew we wanted a small intimate elopement and wanted it to be in Colorado. The variety of locations provided was amazing and with all the photos provided alongside made it even easier!

Speaking with you from the beginning was so natural and warm, the activities during our engagement stage really helped open our eyes to the “important stuff” and how much more there was during that time than just “planning”. It was getting to know each other even better and really seeing what was important in our soon married life.

And SHAREE! To me- you have the best photographer to capture such an amazing day and not to mention Stephen, caring, soft spoken and also warm. I was a bit hesitant at first when I learned you, yourself were not available on our day to be our officiant, only because I had felt like I already knew you and you knew us. As time passed, I felt we were in good hands and you would make sure the one to make it OFFICIAL would show us the same care and warmth, and he did!

I can’t tell you how many times we would be planning something and Id have to be like “WAIT LET ME LOOK AT WHAT LISA SENT ME” and the answer was always there. So the elopement guide and all texts/emails I got were so helpful!! I know this a bit all over the place but I’m sure you get it. Therefore I’m incredibly grateful to have had such amazing support, ease and warmth through this process and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I’ve actually already recommended you to one of Robbies teachers!" - Miranda & Kyle

“Thank you for a perfect ceremony. It was exactly what we had hoped for. AJ & I appreciate everything you did to make the day wonderful.” - Lisa & AJ

"Thank you to Lisa for bringing such light and joy to our special day, and for making our wedding day an effortless, magical, true-to-us experience. I could never thank her enough for the time, care, and thoughtfulness she put into our ceremony. It truly exceeded my wildest dreams - it felt too perfect to be true, and so much of that was because of her team putting their hearts and souls into what they do.

We flew in from out of state, and meeting Lisa in-person for the first time was like reuniting with an old friend. She is so warm, friendly, and kind - she is the sort of person you feel instantly at ease with.

Her ceremony-building activities are fun and easy to follow. Lisa is so thorough and organized, and she provides a ton of resources to help you write your vows and customize your ceremony in a way that’s thoughtful, simple, and fun. She clearly puts a lot of care and consideration into her ceremonies, and took the time to tailor-fit everything to us so it felt even more special and authentic than we dreamed of.

Though I don’t expect to need another wedding officiant myself, I would choose Lisa again 100 times over. She is incredible at what she does, she is dedicated to her couples, and she is a bright soul that added so much joy to our wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Book her ASAP - she’s the absolute gold standard. ”

We are so grateful for you, and are spiritually sending you the warmest wishes and hugs from Kentucky." - Casey & Ryan

“Thank you so much Lisa! Yesterday was absolutely magical and I’m glad we chose you to be a part of it!!” - Alyssa & Matthew

"Lisa made the entire elopement experience extremely easy and she was always there for us for any questions that’s came up. She made us remember what the day was about while the planning and craziness of the day tried to stress us out. She was truly wonderful to work with and all of our guests loved the ceremony she put on. She made the ceremony so personal that we couldn’t have asked for anything better! " - Brianna & Matt

“You helped make our day wonderful. Thank you for the pictures they are great! We couldn’t of asked for a better person to marry us. Thank you for sharing our special day with us.” - Toni & Clint

"My husband and I had everything imaginable go wrong with your typical wedding. Between COVID cancellation, flash floods, and everything else that went wrong, Lisa and her team were there to support us. They truly made a nightmare into something so special. We will forever be grateful for such kind people going above and beyond for us.

Sharee, our photographer, was always the calm to the storm. She is super positive and skilled at her craft. Lisa wasn’t even our officiant to originate with because of her schedule, but stepped in the night of our second cancellation to discuss the ceremony with us and volunteered to perform it the next morning at our sunrise ceremony when the other officiant couldn’t make it! My family said it was the most beautiful ceremony, and loved how she was so personable! We are forever thankful for both of you! Thanks for making the experience worth it!" - Krista & John

“We had the most amazing time and are still relishing in the moment of that beautiful day.” - Jamie & Hector

"We loved working with you to create our ceremony! Everyone commented after the ceremony that it was like you had known us our whole lives, as it fit us perfectly. You made it so easy to not only complete the logistics of a wedding, but to also remember to celebrate what it means in the months, weeks, and days prior. 

You were so willing to follow our lead, to do what we wanted, and to make it special and so personalized! We wanted a simple but heartfelt ceremony, and that’s exactly what we got! You were wonderful to work with and you helped make our day even more special!" - Aubrey & Kelsey

"It has been two weeks and we are still talking about our day and how beautiful it was even with the howling wind and chill. Honestly from the initial contact through text, then our phone conversation, the expectation and process that you provided was more than we could have asked for (exceeded); to include all of the activities that you and your staff provided in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding day. 

Annemarie was so wonderful as our officiant, she truly found our personalities in our short walk to the site, and put such an intimate and personal touch to the ceremony, very heartfelt (we think she even choked up a bit). Sharee was also amazing as a witness to the occasion. She found a common thread with us as she at one time was living in Alamogordo, New Mexico where Uni and I first met. Her wit and keen eye found us having more fun during and after the ceremony as we took photos and forgot that we were in the arctic on top of Flagstaff Mountain.

Although we eloped and did not have family present during our ceremony, Annemarie and Sharee we are very happy to say that they not only presided over the event of our elopement, they were our family on October 13th. It was wonderful to have met and worked with both them and of course you Lisa, although we did not meet you in person your commitment to bringing us and couples together on their elopement or wedding day is so wonderful and seamless. You made this the ‘Best day ever!!!’ We can't thank you enough.” - Uni & Alex

“We have finally returned home after our mini honeymoon! Thank you for performing a beautiful ceremony! We had an absolutely amazing time and it was everything we dreamed of, bugs and all.” - Lora & Ethan

“Thank you all again very much for your role in our special day! We loved every moment of it! The energy on the mountain with Stephen and Jewel was unmatched and really brought everything together. I am forever grateful for this experience and Dustin and I cannot to talk about this day for years to come. Thank you everyone again!!!” - Alexis & Dustin

"Lisa and Sharee were so kind and amazing from day one. I chose them after many hours of searching the internet for Elopements in Colorado. Their presentation was so easy to follow, I knew exactly what I would be getting, from pictures, ceremony, locations, referrals for my stay (Hair, hotels, flowers, cake, restaurants and things to do) everything was given to me to make our wedding day easy as possible for us. From someone that does not live in Colorado, the referrals made my life so much easier in the planning process.

Both of these fabulous ladies were in contact with me leading up to our elopement, willing to answer questions and ease any fears we had. Day of our ceremony, Mother Nature was not so kind to us but Lisa was in contact with me throughout the day, watching the weather and giving me other options we could consider. When I said I did not drive to Colorado to not get mountains in my photos, I don’t care about the mud or rain, they replied “we are good if you are, will will bring umbrellas!”

The rain held off for our ceremony and it was perfect! Both Lisa and Sheree contacted us in the days following to see how our stay was going and if we needed anything. Sharee even sent “sneak peek” photos to us that night, which was so nice to be able to send to our family. I cannot say enough good things about these two amazing ladies, they feel like family. You will not go wrong with choosing these two for your special day, I promise! They are worth it.

Thanks again Lisa and Sharee for everything! I mean every word above, you ladies were great.” - Heather & Beau

"Lauren and I knew we wanted to elope out of state but with so many moving parts involved in a wedding (even an elopement) it was easy to get overwhelmed, so finding Lisa's elopement package was a lifesaver. She covered every detail we wanted to know about and then a bunch we hadn't even thought of yet. She knew great locations to go to, which seasons were best for each location and what time of day was the best on top of that. She also can help get you set up with great vendors for hair/makeup, food, etc.- she's got everything covered.

In addition to having all the bases on ceremony day covered, she also has couples answer some questions that help her get to know you better so that you don't feel like strangers on the ceremony day. We were also highly satisfied with the vendors she suggested. Our photographer, Sharee, took amazing pictures and we had a really really nice dinner at Jill's Restaurant and Bistro.

Lisa is someone who is passionate about the work she does, it means a lot to her to have the day go great and that is exactly the type of coordinator you want to have running your wedding day." - Lauren & Steven

"Before finding Lisa, I felt very overwhelmed and stressed with so many things to figure out and even learn. Once I received my first email from Lisa, all those feelings started to go away. Lisa is extremely organized, and she had a full list ready to give us from potential places for our elopements, to hair, flowers, make up, photographer info and so much more!

From start to finish our experience was 100% positive. She made us feel so comfortable during our ceremony, and the photographer she teams up with did as well. We have nothing but amazing memories from this whole experience and thanks to Lisa, our only worry was making the drive across the country safely. Thanks for everything Lisa!!!" - Ari & David

"We wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect. As Andrew said “she was everything we didn’t know we needed” lol so true!

As we are back in the Alabama/Georgia heat I keep reminiscing about this past weekend. One of the best days and memories of my life. This weekend is one we will hold close to our hearts.

The pictures we have gotten so far are PERFECT and a great reflection on how we felt that day. Thank you again so much for being a part of our day." - Jenni & Andrew

"Ceremonies with Lisa was an absolute joy to work with! Lisa and Sharee were the nicest, most helpful people. They didn't even feel like strangers. I felt like they knew us and understood what we were wanting and were able to create the most perfect ceremony for us! It couldn't have been anymore us.

The preparation that Lisa provided was thorough and comprehensive. Lisa really got to know us and what our relationship entailed and focused on. We were involved with every step of ceremony prep and ceremony writing. They matched our tone and attitude and overall mellow mindset for the ceremony. Sharee was able to give us directions and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera." - Amanda & Evan

"Our experience together was amazing from the start! Lisa answered all my questions and Also gave us all the tools We needed for permits! Lisa found us the most perfect photographer and officiant for us and our wedding! The entire experience felt like it was meant to be! If your traveling out of state, for your ceremony in the mountains, she’s your perfect match!" - Krista & Kris

"It has been two weeks and we are still talking about our day and how beautiful it was even with the howling wind and chill.

You made this the ‘Best day ever!!!’ We can't thank you enough.” - Uni & Alex

"My husband and I reached out to Lisa and her team to help us get some direction for our elopement. Lisa really had it all laid out for us. She gave us some options she recommended and truly helped guide us to the ceremony we wanted. We had an initial longer phone call where we were able to freely talk about what our vision was. Lisa sent lots of wonderful activities for us as a couple to do and help us focus on ourselves and our wedding. Even though we are a 24 hour drive and a two hour time zone difference, Lisa and her amazing team helped us have our perfect elopement day. 

Officiant Stephen was a gem. Even though we had never met in person before, he performed a great ceremony. His attitude and presence were a great addition to the day.

Jewel was such a fantastic photographer, she really added a great energy. Her photos are beautiful, she did such a great job of captures these moments to share with our loves ones back home." - Alysa & Christian

“Thank you so much for everything! You guys really made getting married a breeze which is just what we wanted!! You were all amazing!” - Mercedes & Jacob

“Thank you so much for everything! You made it such an easy process, and I am the most indecisive person ever, and I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. We are so happy with how smooth everything was, even with the snow. It was absolutely perfect because of you and your team.

Officiant Stephen delivered such a nice ceremony. Sharee was amazing and so helpful and kept my anxiety at the lowest of levels! I wish I had her around for my every day tasks!

Thank you for all of your help, answering all of my random questions, and making everything seamless. It was the most magical day, and I wish I could relive it every single day. We are forever grateful to you!” - Merry & Brian

"Lisa and her team were completely outstanding! As we first decided to elope, we really had zero idea where to start but once we got a hold of Lisa and her team, everything fell in line so smoothly! As we got started planning, Lisa was so intent on getting to know my husband and I. She took time to meet with us to be sure we were all ready to go.

Not only that, but before the big day, there happened to be a major snowstorm that was going to force us to move our date and location, as stressful as that even sounds, Lisa and her team made it feel insanely less stressful with all their guidance. The big day went perfect thanks to all their support!! If you are planning on getting married in Colorado, there is no else better I would be able to recommend to have on your team other than them!!! Great at what they do and even better people too!

We loved how they sent a card in our mail to Texas a few days before the big day, they sent emails prior to and after giving us advice, and marriage activities and all sorts of fun recommendations that you can't find anywhere else.

Last but not least, Lisa and her team are not just people you hire for your big day but people who turn into friends! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Lisa and the team, you all are THE BEST TO DO IT IN COLORADO!!" - Leslee & Cristian

“When I first thought of the idea of elopement it was scary! Was I sure this is what I wanted to do? What would everyone else think? Would they approve? After running into Lisa's page I instantly felt such a connection! Her vibe, her charismatic personality, and her willingness to help was all I needed for my stamp of approval!

I was guided every step of the way and the overall process was stress-free.

My wedding day...was perfect. I had imagined it so many ways and it just could not have been more beautiful. We got married at Chautauqua Park. Jewels was our photographer and she was so funny and really able to laugh and be a part of the family! Annemarie, my officiant was so soft and kind, and the perfect person for our ceremony. Believe me when I say it all just felt so natural.

Thank you to everyone who made our day special! Y'all really worked some magic. You are beyond appreciated.” - Kassandra & Aaron
