We hear the question all the time, "Do I really need to hire an event planner?" Maybe you are really organized... Maybe you are surrounded with helpful people. While there is no question that organizational skills and reliable friends can aid in an event's success - there is nothing like having a professional team to ensure your event is successful and stress free. With over 160 years of combined experience on our event planning team, we have compiled a number of memorable 'Event Planner to the Rescue' moments during our time working together. So many popped up that we had to make this a multi-part blog!  Examples of how we have saved the day at events: - Guest Book Tree Stump: Some over-served guests at a wedding decided to create their own art masterpiece and ruin a bride & groom's tree stump guest book. MBD jumped into action, had the guests removed, and came up with an alternative guest book to capture the day. - Safety Pins: We have them in our emergency kits and need these at every other event. We can't tell you how often there is a fabric emergency that requires a safety pin! -Cabs/Uber: We have called countless car services to get guests home safely. 50% of our own planning team have actually been designated drivers at client events when a car service wasn't available. - Bubbles: Can't get kiddos down the aisle? We can, and have. We carry bubbles in our emergency kits. Little kids who are too small to be predictable in a wedding party will make it down the aisle if bubble are available! -Vodka Run: We have planned countless events where the amount of alcohol the client provided was underestimated and MBD ran to the liquor store to pick up more. Booze, juice boxes, ice.... you name it. We are often the wheels and credit cards behind the scenes so your fun isn't interrupted. -Bussing tables: We aren't caterers, but you would never know it. If your caterer doesn't have enough hands, or you ordered 'drop & go catering' without realizing that you need someone to serve the food and clean up.... we are often in the background, cleaning up. -Pen for marriage certificate: You just said I do. You need to make it official. Who has the marriage certificate? Who has a pen to sign it? We do. We even bring a 'pretty pen' which you would prefer to have in photographs over that pen with your realtor's address on it. -Sewing kit repairs: Our emergency kits include a sewing kit... and yes, we have run out of thread! You may be surprised how many outfit fails happen a year. We can sew too!  As a collective of experts, BIG DEAL Company specializes in creativity. With superior organization, marketing experience and original ideas, we pull off amazing events and campaigns!

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, create derivative works, or in any other way exploit any part of our materials without the prior written permission from My Big Day LLC As dedicated marketing and events professionals in Northern Colorado, we are thrilled to share the incredible success of The Family Center-La Familia’s recent Fiesta Party, which took place at The Lyric on Saturday, September 23. This community fundraiser was a true testament to the power of collective action, and it not only brought people together, but it also raised over $40,000 to support The Family Center’s vital work.  Setting the Stage The Lyric was the perfect venue for this festive event. Its eclectic charm matched the colorful and vibrant celebration. The Lyric prides itself on its commitment to fostering community connections, and it was the ideal choice for The Family Center’s event. As a business that often collaborates with nonprofits to expand their presence through events and campaigns, we were impressed with The Lyric’s ability to resonate with the event’s mission.  The Fiesta Experience The Fiesta Party was an unforgettable experience, filled with live music provided by Salsa Forte, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. The music and vibe inspired guests to dust off their dancing shoes and join the musical fun.  Raising Over $40,000 One of the most remarkable aspects of this event was its fundraising success. Our dedicated team worked hard with The Family Center staff to curate an extensive silent auction display that inspired guests to bid on packages that included artwork from local artists, local brews and wines, and fun experiences. The Family Center surpassed their fundraising goal, raising over $40,000, through the silent auction, live auction, and paddle raise. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, from the event organizers to donors who opened their hearts and wallets to support a worthy cause.
The Impact We understand the importance of not only raising funds but also expanding a nonprofit’s presence in the community. The Family Center’s Fiesta Party achieved both of these objectives. Not only did it provide critical financial support, but it also increased awareness of The Family Center’s mission and the important role it plays in our community. We were inspired by the success of this event and proud to be the planning partners for the festivities. Events like the Fiesta Party serve as a reminder that when we unite for a common cause, we can achieve remarkable results that benefit us all.

A Bridge to Forever Onf of the standout features of this unforgettable day was the breathtaking bridge constructed by the bride’s Father, over the family’s sparkling backyard swimming pool. This picturesque bridge served as the aisle, creating a beautiful path towards the future for the newly married couple. The wedding was officiated by the bride’s brother, and the couple exchanged their vows under a beautiful tree decorated with flowers and flowing fabric. As Savannah and Connor exchanged their promises, surrounded by flowers and the serene waters, it was impossible not to be swept away by the sheer romance of it all.  Mariachi Magic Immediately following the ceremony, guests were invited to visit over tasty cocktails and passed appetizers while being serenaded by the lively tunes of a Mariachi band - adding a touch of tradition and irresistible energy to the evening! This added a special element of fun to the entire evening!  An Evening of Elegance The reception was equally beautiful and special! Guests dined and danced in a tent adorned with delicate chandeliers and twinkling lights - transforming the backyard into a beautifully lit wonderland. The food was beautifully catered and presented, the wine was flowing, and the music and speeches were heartfelt and entertaining.  A Sparkler Send-Off As the night drew to a close, Savannah and Connor’s grand exit was nothing short of spectacular! Guests formed a shimmering pathway of sparklers, creating a dazzling tunnel of light for the newlyweds. The joy and love in the air were palpable as the couple made their way through this radiant send off. This special backyard wedding was more than just a celebration - it was a testament to love, commitment, and the power of high school sweethearts turned life partners.

We support MANY out-of-state couples on all of the delicate details. This family was another success story of long distance planning so a dreamy mountain wedding could happen - and make dreams come true!  "I don’t even know where to begin. And I don’t think I have the words to adequately convey our appreciation for all you and your staff have done to make our wedding day a success! From our first in person meeting in March, we left with such a sense of calm, we realized then that this just might be ok. But it was more than ok, much more. You always made Gretchen feel as if she were your only client. You answered her emails and phone calls quickly, which alleviated the ever looming anxiety. You answered my many emails (sorry, for all of them) in the blink of an eye. And, you were there to calm me down when a vendor brought me to tears. No matter what ideas we came up with, you had the perfect professional way of telling us yes, great idea, or gently guiding us away from maybe not such a great idea. Always with Gretchen’s best interest at the forefront. Kathy. What can I really say. I did not cry at all on Saturday. Ok. When I saw my girl dance with her dad, I did cry. But at the end of the evening (and even as I write this) I shed tears of joy. But those tears were also because I saw how hard you and your team worked to make my daughter’s night a success. From the rehearsal, to during the day on Saturday, then to the reception, you were professional, calm, caring and always had a smiling on your face. From making sure carpet placements were perfect to making sure our guests were taken care of to cleaning up at the end if the evening, you worked tirelessly to make sure that we worried about nothing. Even my brother, who is oblivious to a lot of things, commented on you and your team. The work you and your team provided is the reason our evening was so successful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for working so incredibly hard. Thank you for making us feel that our day mattered as much to you as it did to us (and it showed in your interactions with all of us). Thank you for creating for us the memories of a lifetime." -JeanMarie, mother of the bride  Congratulations Gretchen + AndrewThe Wedding Magic Makers: Rentals: Primary Event Rentals Venue: YMCA Estes Park Music: Suit & Tie DJs Event Planning: BIG DEAL Company Hair/Make-Up: Bridal Glow Salon & Spa Photography: Sarah Lee Welch Photography Florist: Fanciful Florals As a collective of experts, BIG DEAL Company specializes in creativity.

Long time clients and friends, we were thrilled to celebrate Jackson and his bride, Kelly on a sunny September day. Longhorn cattle, impeccable floral accents by Wild Posies, perfectly paired menu by Fresh Plate Catering, rentals from Primary Events and Event Rents to compliment the already picturesque setting and barn with rustic accents--- the day could not have been more perfect!  The Harrison Ranch (H Lazy T Bar) that sits on the edge of Fort Collins and Timnath is PRIVATE property with the most amazing views. BIG DEAL Company is honored when we are asked to help plan any private family event as we know how precious the property is to the family. Consummate entertainers, and prominent community members - this family is a true gem.

They love is deep and easy, just as it should be. It is an absolute pleasure to witness.
