Estes Park Wedding and Event Planners

Rocky Mountain National Park Wedding~A vision turned reality!

Sarah White and Ben Pernu became Mr. and Mrs. Pernu in Estes Park on June 11, 2011.The wedding was absolutely beautiful and the bride, groom, and their families were such a pleasure to work with!

Sarah and Ben chose to have their outdoor ceremony in Rocky Mountain National Park, located just outside of Estes Park. Brinton Studios did a great job of capturing the happiness and excitement of the couple and their guests, and were great photographers to work with as well. All the photos shown here are by them.

Although the weather here is never predictable, it held up for the ceremony. Just as we were leaving to go to the reception, the wind picked up and rain drops were felt by some of the remaining guests. Mother Nature was looking out for Sarah and Ben that day!

The ceremony took place at the Moraine Amphitheater in the park. This is the perfect place for a mountain wedding and anyone looking for a spectacular backdrop. We even had an unexpected guest drop by!

A shuttle was used to take guests in and out of the Park. While this can be an iffy situation (if guests do not make the shuttle in time) there were no problems. Everyone made it to and from the ceremony and no one was left behind.

Sarah's dress was designed and made by the talented mother-of-the-groom. This makes the dress even more special than you would have already thought.

The reception was held at Mary's Lake Lodge in their larger banquet room. Sarah and Ben mingled with guests as they arrived. They and their families and friends were all smiles.

The center pieces consisted of patterned fabric, frames containing the dinner menu, wine bottles from Sarah's uncle's winery, and wild flowers. The flowers for the ceremony and reception were beautifully done by Blooms Flower Market, a local favorite.

The cake was absolutely breathtaking. Colorado Rose Cake Company did a wonderful job of capturing the mountain scene with details of trees and mountains in the frosting. The cake toppers were adorable wooden moose dressed as a bride and groom.

After dinner was served, the best man (brother of the groom) made a very amusing speech. Then the two maids of honor (good friends of both the bride and groom) made their lovely and heartwarming speeches as well! Sarah and Ben were lucky to have such loving people surrounding them on their special day. The DJ, Kirk Smith from Complete Music Denver DJ, did a great job of MC-ing the evening and provided great music that was both fun and romantic to dance to.

The rest of the night was nothing but celebration as the newlyweds and their friends and families ate, drank, and danced the night away!

Congratulations Ben and Sarah!!
