2nd Annual Wine & Nosh | Bridal Show Colorado Springs

Have you ever been to a bridal show and left thinking…OMG what did I just experience. You tasted so many great foods, desserts and met so many vendors, but don’t remember any of them exclusively. Why? Probably because there were 12 caterers, 15 photographers and 10 bakers. By the time you reached the last vendor you probably couldn’t remember one thing about the first vendor you met.

Being a former bride I had experienced this exact same thing. Now as a wedding/event coordinator, I didn’t want brides to experience this overwhelming feeling and sense of confusion as they went to their first bridal show. So Wine & Nosh was created.
Wine & Nosh is a unique approach to a bridal show. Brides are able to relax, sip on wine, casually talk amongst other brides and vendors and feel at ease while planning their wedding. We encourage brides to bring those favorite men in their life so they can relax, be a part of the planning process and enjoy a cigar even!

When entering Wine & Nosh you will not see tables set up around the room with the vendors showcasing every last item they have for their company. Instead it is a more intimate setting where vendors and brides can sit down one on one, speak to each other and discuss details. I believe in building relationships with those who you want to work with and what better way to speak with a bride then over some wine and relaxing music. 

A limited group of vendors are chosen to participate in Wine & Nosh. Each vendor has been chosen to represent the Wine & Nosh atmosphere with each of them being some of the most esteemed vendors in the industry. 

While the atmosphere is relaxing prizes were given away every 30 minutes amping up the energy in the room to see who won what.  Wedding Treasures provided an AH-MA-ZING fashion show where brides were able to get ideas from over 30 dresses, both bridal and for their wedding party. Makeup was provided by Magnifica Bella, showcasing her work on these beautiful brides and music was provided by FUNction Pro DJ.

The fashion show wasn't the only main attraction; Jun from The SushiMan rolled fresh sushi for guests to taste his amazing creations. The portable sushi bar is an awesome idea for bachelor parties, rehearsal dinners or even as a station at your wedding. Desserts were provided by Wild Flour Confections and Sugarplum Cake Shoppe where brides were able to see both cupcake and cake designs.

All of our vendors provided a delightful experience for anyone attending Wine & Nosh. Floral, Photography, Videography and a Photobooth all made lasting impressions on our brides.

Colorado Springs Wedding Planner | Vow Renewal

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Chicki and Adrian along with their three kids.  Chicki and I met over coffee and spent hours discussing their 10 year vow renewal. They were living out of State and would be transferring to Colorado Springs soon. Chicki wanted the mountains of Colorado to be the backdrop of her ceremony. With the date set for end of November we risked cold weather, but the sun was shinning down on these two and their family for their 10 year celebration!



Chicki wanted her day to be about family and the love they share. Friends and family flew in from out of town and made the entire week about family and love.

mother-daughter moment...so precious
