Limited venues. Growing demand. Better events start with an earlier booking. Northern Colorado is becoming more popular for corporate meetings, conferences, nonprofit events, and celebrations. Even though more people want to host events here, there aren’t enough venues for medium and large groups. By planning early, organizations have a better chance of getting the venue, dates, and experience they want. *Download our free tip sheet below

A freelancer costs less – but disappears the moment the project ends. So which one actually helps to grow your business? The answer depends on one question most business owners never stop to ask: are you trying to buy time back, or are you trying to buy growth? There’s a third option most owners never get pitched: fractional marketing. A team of specialists working inside your business part-time, for less than either extreme. Here’s how all three actually stack up, and how to tell which one fits where your business is right now.  The three options, fast Full-time hire. One person, on your payroll, dedicated to your business. You get consistency and full ownership of institutional knowledge. However, you also carry the full cost, the full risk, and the full gap if that person leaves. Freelance contractor. One person, hired for a defined project or task. Fast to bring on, easy to scale down. But you’re usually buying execution, not strategy – and when the contract ends, so does the expertise. Fractional team. A team of specialists, working inside your business part-time, for an ongoing retainer. You get strategy and execution together, without a single point of failure and without a full-time salary with benefits.   A full-time marketing manager runs $85,000 to $130,000 in base salary, but the fully-loaded costs, including benefits, payroll taxes, tools, and the 60 to 120 days it takes to reach full productivity, actually push that closer to $110,000 to $155,000 a year. That’s before factoring in what happens if the hire doesn’t work out. Freelance rates vary widely, from $50 to $300 an hour depending on experience and specialty, with most businesses landing around $75 an hour or a $3,000 to $20,000 monthly retainer. That flexibility is real. So is the tradeoff: you’re typically paying for hands and execution, but not a strategy. Fractional marketing sits between the two. Big Deal Company typically contracts within a range of $500 to $5000 a month depending on the scope of the work and contract, well below what a full-time hire costs and without the ramp-up time. Our team-based model provides more bang for your buck, since you’re not paying for one person’s calendar. Instead, you’re getting a full team’s worth of expertise for one retainer.  The four questions that actually decide it
Where BIG DEAL Company fits BIG DEAL Company has been Colorado’s fractional marketing and events team since 2006 – a 14-person team, not a single hire, brought in for the price of one. Clients have seen real results from this model. In past contracts, our team doubled an organization’s revenue in its first year as their marketing and development partner. The team-based structure means the accountability of a full-time hire, the flexibility of a freelancer, and none of the single-point-of-failure risk of either. And while BIG DEAL is based in the Front Range, but the team supports clients well beyond – including businesses and organizations in Arizona, California and Iowa. Three options, three different cost structures. But there’s really only one question underneath all of it: does your business need hands, leadership, or both, right now? Get that answer right, and the budget decision mostly makes itself. If you’re still weighing it, a second opinion helps more than another spreadsheet. Get in touch with BIG DEAL Company for a straight read on what fits your business – no pressure, no script.  FAQ How much does fractional marketing cost compared to hiring in-house? Fractional marketing typically runs a fraction of a full-time hire’s fully loaded cost - no salary, benefits, payroll tax, or six-figure risk if the hire doesn’t work out. Most small-business-tier retainers land well below the $110K-$155K a full-time marketing manager costs annually. What’s the difference between a fractional marketing team and a freelancer? A freelancer is usually one person hired for a defined task or project – execution, not strategy. A fractional team brings multiple specialists working together under one retainer, covering both the strategic planning and the work itself. Is fractional marketing only for large companies? No. Fractional marketing was built for businesses that need senior-level strategy but aren’t ready for a full-time executive salary. It’s most common among small and mid-sized businesses trying to bridge that exact gap. How do I know if I need a freelancer or a full fractional team? If the need is a single, defined project with a clear end date, a freelancer usually covers it. If the need is ongoing – ongoing strategy, ongoing execution, or both – a fractional team avoids the gap that opens up when a single contractor’s engagement ends. What happens if my fractional marketing team member leaves? Nothing. That’s the structural difference. A fractional team spreads institutional knowledge across multiple people, so the business relationship continues even if one person’s role changes, unlike a solo freelancer or a single full-time hire.

Each year, businesses that wait until fall to plan often find their favorite venues are already booked, entertainment is hard to secure, and budgets don’t go as far as they hoped. Companies that start planning in the summer have more options, less stress, and create better experiences for their teams. At BIG DEAL Company, we’ve spent almost twenty years planning all kinds of events across Colorado, Wyoming and across the US! We know the best holiday parties aren’t last-minute. They’re carefully planned with enough time to make them truly special.  1. You'll Have the Best Venue Options Popular venues fill up months ahead, especially for Thursday and Friday nights in November and December. Planning now lets you pick your ideal date and venue, so you don’t have to settle for less. Planning early simply gives you more options. 2. Your Favorite Vendors Will Still Be Available Photographers, DJs, caterers, entertainers, decorators, and rental companies all get booked quickly during the holidays. When you book early, you can choose vendors you trust instead of just picking whoever is still available. Need recommendations? Our event planning team already has relationships with many of Northern Colorado's top event professionals. 3. You Can Save Money Venues and vendors have more openings before the holiday rush, so you can compare options, negotiate prices, and lock in rates before demand goes up. You’ll also have time to make smart choices instead of paying extra for last-minute bookings. Planning ahead can help you:
 4. More Time Means More Creative Ideas A great holiday party is more than just dinner and decorations. Early planning gives you time to think bigger:
5. Employees Can Save the Date Holiday calendars fill up fast. Giving employees lots of notice helps more people attend and lets families plan around your event. The sooner you send invitations, the better your turnout will be. 6. Less Stress for Everyone No one likes rushing to finish vendors, menus, seating charts, and decorations just a week before the event. When you start early, you can make thoughtful choices instead of last-minute decisions. That’s why many companies hire professional event planners to handle timelines, vendors, logistics, and all the details.  7. Better Food and Beverage Choices Food is often what guests remember most about a holiday party, and planning early gives you the best chance to create a menu everyone will love. Top caterers and bartenders book up months ahead, especially during the holidays. By booking early, you can schedule tastings, customize your menu, accommodate dietary needs, and add special touches like signature cocktails or dessert stations. Instead of being stuck with limited choices, you’ll have the freedom to create a dining experience that fits your event and leaves a great impression. For holiday menu inspiration, the National Restaurant Association offers food and hospitality trends that continue to influence seasonal events. 8. You'll Have Time to Build Excitement Your holiday party experience can start long before guests arrive. With extra planning time, you can create anticipation through:
9. Weather Doesn't Have to Be a Surprise Winter weather can impact travel, parking, outdoor plans, and transportation. Planning ahead gives you time to make backup plans and share them clearly if needed. The National Weather Service Winter Safety Resources also provides helpful guidance for preparing for winter gatherings. 10. You Actually Get to Enjoy the Party Maybe the best part of planning early? You can relax. Instead of stressing over timelines, vendor arrivals, or last-minute problems, you can enjoy the evening with your employees, clients, and guests. After all, you've worked hard all year. Your holiday party should feel like a reward, not another project.

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  Every year, companies from Florida to California call BIG DEAL Company with some version of the same problem: “We have 50 (or 500) people who need to be somewhere at the same time, and we need someone to make it work.” That someone is BIG DEAL Company. Since 2006, BIG DEAL Company has been the women-owned, Colorado-based team that businesses quietly rely on to pull off their biggest gatherings — company conferences, destination retreats, multi-day trade shows, and milestone celebrations that have to land exactly right. Here’s how that trust gets built, and what it actually looks like when a national client hires us for full-service event planning.  The Track Record That Gets Us in the Room Clients don’t hand over a multi-day, multi-state event to a new vendor on faith. They look at what we’ve already done. Examples: We’ve planned and executed more than 20 company conferences for an international software company - across the country, plus multiple Las Vegas trade show productions — vendor coordination, booth build, staffing, and onsite problem-solving included. This company rebooks us because every conference has stayed on budget and every deadline has been hit. There’s no substitute for that kind of repetition: after 20+ events with one client, we know their brand, their standards, and their shorthand, so each new conference starts ahead instead of from scratch. A national medical company brought us in for destination company conferences, and we sourced and secured venues for two full-scale events, built the complete multi-day program from arrival to departure, and supported their leadership team through a significant organizational transition — all while managing housing, transportation, and the parts of the trip that make or break the experience. A national construction company hired us for multi-day conference production in Colorado, where we worked directly with multiple internal departments from across the U.S. to turn separate presentations into one cohesive, well-paced agenda, and delivered the entire event on time and within budget with zero disruption to their normal operations. Add in multi-year work with an international wind energy company (all-company retreats and camp-outs for 150+ employees and their families), national oil and gas company (corporate holiday parties for 200+ employees and spouses), a medical trade show company (annual corporate retreats managed lodging-to-teardown), and large banking organization (a trusted event partner for over ten years, running events for 400+ employees across multiple destinations) — and a pattern emerges. Companies don’t hire us once. They hire us again, and then they hire us for the next thing too.  What “Full-Service” Actually Means The phrase gets used loosely in this industry. For us, it means we own the outcome, not just a slice of it. A typical national retreat or conference contract includes:
We also hand clients a shared planning workspace from day one: a live master timeline, a vendor and contract log, a real-time budget tracker, and run-of-show documents built for both internal planning and team-facing distribution. Nobody on the client side is left wondering where things stand. A Process Built for Scale Every retreat runs through four phases, each with its own deliverables and check-ins:
Why It Adds Up to Trust The numbers behind the work are the reason clients keep calling: 200+ combined years in management, 202 combined years in event planning, 149 combined years in marketing, and more than 100 events planned annually. But clients don’t hire a spreadsheet of statistics — they hire the experience of working with us. As one client put it, we set a new bar and elevate the meeting experience beyond expectation. Another said we haven’t stressed for a single moment since bringing us on, even as their events grew from a single holiday party into full company retreats. The Bottom Line National companies hire BIG DEAL Company for retreats and conferences because we run them like our own event — embedded with the client’s team, accountable for the whole budget, and hands-on from the first RFP to the last shuttle pickup. Whether it’s a fifth consecutive year with the same client or a first-time 450-person anniversary retreat, the promise stays the same: we bring the joy, you get to be a guest at your own event.

What are five adjectives that describe your team? A. Spirited, Organized, Hard Working, Enthusiastic, and Fun! Q. How do we know if we really need an Event Planner? A. Oftentimes people view the idea of a planner as an optional expense to their budget. It’s important to note, that a qualified planner will help you navigate through very unfamiliar territory. Planning events of this scope is a profession for a reason. Planners help you save money and time – we advocate for you, negotiate for you, offer you advice, help you find the best deals, help take your event vision and turn it into a cohesive, fantastic day and so much more. When you hire a planner, you can leave tasks like finding the best prices on linens, whether your venue has enough electricity for the band, and arranging the floor plan to us. Every person comes to a point in the planning process, usually a couple months prior to the event, when they truly realize how much there still is to do that doesn’t involve the major planning of the event. We alleviate the pressure and make the process enjoyable for you. Q: Do you only serve Colorado? A: No. We serve the entire United States. BIG DEAL is based in the Front Range of Colorado. Cities we commonly serve; Denver, Southern Wyoming, the CO Mountains, and Northern Colorado: Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Berthoud, Estes Park, Lyons, Longmont, Boulder, Wellington, Johnstown, Evans, Severance, Timnath, Mead, Frederick, Firestone, and Milliken. Q. My venue has a site coordinator. Do I still need a Coordinator or Event Planner? A. There is an extremely important difference between working with a site coordinator and an independent planner: the planner works for you, while the site coordinator works for the venue. We are always acting on behalf of your best interests. Because we’ve developed a relationship with you and we know all the details of your event, we are prepared for any last minute emergencies that may come our way and we know how you would like them handled. We also use our familiarity with you and our expertise to add last-minute, unexpected touches. We have a complete overview of the event, while the site coordinator is only familiar with the catering and schedule. We ensure that all the details come together seamlessly. Q. I don’t think our budget will allow for a planner. How do I allocate funds for your services? A. It’s amazing how much money a qualified event planner can save you. Not only might you see extra money in your pocket, but you will see more value for the money you spend on décor and vendors. We know the places to find the best prices and we can help you find vendors that will do an amazing job for you. Right from the start we help you prioritize your budget to include the aspects of your event that are the most important to you. We’ve had clients tell us again and again that hiring us was the best money they spent on their event. We couldn’t ask for a better compliment! Q. Do you charge for an initial consultation? What’s included? A. We enjoy taking the time to meet potential new clients and we do this complimentary. We typically spend about an hour getting to know you, finding out about your vision and talking about your expectations. This gives you an opportunity to get to know us as well  Q. Why do you limit the number of events you contract? A. It is our job to ensure that every client is treated to the same personal attention to detail. No matter if your event is a small, intimate gathering or a grand stately affair, we promise to be available to you as if your event is our only one. Q. How do I know you’re referring the best vendors for me? Do you accept commissions, kickbacks or professional discounts from any vendors you refer? A. We have worked with many vendors and have a great idea which vendors work best with certain clients. We never get any kickbacks or referral fees and if a vendor offers a discount, we always pass it on to our clients. You can be sure that the vendors we recommend for you are qualified, fit your budget and fit your style. Q. Do you have a business license and insurance? A. Yes. We are a tax paying business and are legally registered for business in the state of Colorado. We carry an appropriate insurance policy that covers our business, and allows us to work in all Colorado venues. Q. What does BIG DEAL Company do? A. We're a full-circle marketing and full-service events company based in Loveland, CO, serving Northern Colorado, the Front Range, Denver, and Southern Wyoming (and we travel beyond that, too). Our work falls into three areas: Communications (marketing, branding, social media, websites), Experiences (event planning and production, from corporate conferences to weddings), and Community (signature events and community-building initiatives). Q. How long have you been in business? A. BIG DEAL Company has been owned and operated by a team of outstanding women since 2006. Between our team, we bring over 200 combined years of event planning experience, nearly 150 combined years of marketing experience, and 200+ combined years of management experience. Q. Who is BIG DEAL Company for? A. We work with small to mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, B2B clients, individuals planning weddings or life events, and municipalities or regional partners coordinating large community celebrations. Q. What areas do you serve? A. We're based in Loveland, CO, and serve the entire Front Range — including Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Berthoud, Estes Park, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, and surrounding Northern Colorado communities — as well as Southern Wyoming and the Colorado mountains. We also travel for the right project. Q. Are you licensed and insured? A. Yes. We're a registered, tax-paying business in the state of Colorado and carry appropriate insurance that allows us to operate in venues throughout the state.  Q. Do you offer packages, or is everything custom? A. Both. We have base/common packages available for marketing services and select event types, but every client's needs are different, so we typically listen first and then build a proposal tailored to your goals and budget. Q. What marketing services do you offer? A. Our Communications work includes marketing strategy, advertising and PR, social media management, website design and maintenance, media ad buys, Google Ads, logo design, blog writing, newsletter publication, press release writing, and retreat/meeting facilitation. Q. Can you manage our social media accounts for us? A. Yes, full social media management is one of our core communications services, from content creation to posting and engagement. Q. Do you build and maintain websites? A. Yes, website design and ongoing maintenance are part of our Communications offerings. Q. Can you help us figure out what kind of marketing support we actually need? A. Absolutely — that's a common starting point for new clients. We have a "Potential Needs" guide available as a free download on our Communications page, and we're always happy to talk through it with you directly. Q. Do you write content like blogs, newsletters, or press releases? A. Yes. Blog writing, newsletter publication, and press release writing are all part of our communications services. Q. What types of events do you plan? A. Everything from full-service event production, corporate retreats, conferences, and meetings to holiday parties, concerts, trade shows, grand openings, political campaign events, fundraisers and galas, and custom community events. We plan 100+ events annually. Q. Do you only do corporate events, or personal events too? A. Both. On the corporate side, we handle conferences, retreats, team-building, trade shows, and employee celebrations. On the personal side, we plan weddings, vow renewals, and other life events. Q. Why should I hire an event planner instead of doing it myself? A. A qualified planner saves you time and money by negotiating on your behalf, advising you on vendors and logistics, and handling the countless small details that pile up as an event gets closer — things like floor plans, vendor timelines, and venue requirements. Most clients tell us they realize how much unglamorous logistical work remains just weeks before their event; we take that off your plate. Q. Do you offer hybrid or virtual event planning? A. Yes. We've planned numerous hybrid events combining in-person and virtual attendance — conferences, fundraisers, retreats, and more. Q. Can you help staff my event or trade show booth? A. Yes, we offer event staffing for booths, festivals, and events that need extra experienced hands. Q. Do you plan events outside of Colorado? A. While we're based in Colorado and primarily serve the Front Range, Northern Colorado, and Southern Wyoming, we do travel for the right project.

Picture the best corporate event you’ve ever been to, then try to describe the room it was held in. Most people can’t. What sticks instead is a moment. The gift sitting at their seat. The host who knew their name before they offered it. The one thing on the agenda nobody saw coming, the one that made the whole room lean in. So what makes a corporate event memorable? After twenty years of corporate event planning across Northern Colorado, Wyoming, and points beyond, we can tell you it’s almost never the venue. The moments that stick live in dozens of small, deliberate choices guests never consciously clock – the kind they’d feel the absence of in a heartbeat if they were gone. Here’s where those moments really come from.  Win them at the door The welcome sets the tone for the whole day, and most events hand that job to a banquet table and a stack of name badges. We’d rather make it count. Long before the doors open, we’re already thinking about what a guest is holding when they walk in, and whether they’ll still want it a week later. One client said it better than we could after a recent program: “Those little details, in addition to seeing the big picture, are a testament to your professionalism, with heart.” Little details carry a lot of weight. They tell people they matter, and people who feel that way stay with you all day!  Catering display with muffins beside event signage for BusinessDen’s State of Multifamily panel, presented by Collegiate Peaks Bank We study the guest list – all of it Some of our clients run the same kind of event several times a year. Pulling it off isn’t the hard part. Keeping each one from blurring into the last? That’s the real work. So we learn the room before it fills. Because we’ve done our homework on who’s coming, we can greet people by name as they arrive. We bring in custom decor and a signature scent that makes a familiar space feel new and a little luxurious. A returning guest steps into the same ballroom and could swear it’s somewhere else entirely. Routine turns into something people look forward to. The magic is in the in-between When the Northern Colorado Regional Airport opened its new terminal, the predictable play was obvious: a ribbon, a few speeches, a reception tucked into one corner. We gave guests a terminal to explore instead. Activations and discoveries ran the length of the facility, so nobody stood around waiting for the next thing. They moved through the space, found things, got their eyes and hands on what was new. The building belonged to the community, and our job was to make every guest feel that on the spot. The energy held all afternoon and evening, because we’d built something for the gaps – the exact place where most events quietly lose the room.  Guests exploring aircraft on the tarmac during the Northern Colorado Regional Airport terminal grand opening, produced by Big Deal Company Take care of the people on your stage Conferences and employee programming usually mean an outside speaker or two, and the whole audience’s experience rides on how well that person shows up. So we look after them. Flights, logistics, the hundred small things a speaker shouldn’t have to track on their own. Someone who feels handled walks out calmly and ready – and your team gets the performance you actually paid for! The last thing they touch matters most We design custom gifts for the speakers, leaders, and VIPs our clients host, each one themed to the event or the trip. Never generic swag. The kind of gift that makes someone realize you were paying attention the entire time. It’s the last thing a guest carries out the door, so we make sure it’s worth keeping. We’re sold enough on this that we do it for our own team, too! Every retreat and team celebration comes with touches built around the actual people in the room. The people who make the magic happen deserve a little of it themselves.  The venue just gets them through the door Everything after that is what they’ll remember. Two decades in, building those moments is the thing we do best. If there’s a conference, a retreat, or a team program on your calendar, let’s make it the one people are still bringing up months from now.
