planning services

Inspired by the untamed beauty of Colorado
 & the places that feel like home.

It’s more about a weekend experience celebrating your love, quality time with your favorite people, and the beauty of your surroundings rather than rushing through a brief 6-hour wedding day.  

You need a bit of guidance and expertise when it comes to creating unforgettable moments in these unique and potentially remote mountain towns of Colorado.

As authentic individuals, you prefer to take a similar approach to the planning process. Staying true to your values and personalities above all else.

We know colorado was the easy choice.

Why choose Mountainesque?

Kaity + Russ


"Everyone needs an Emily! From day one she was everything you need in a wedding planner: organized, efficient, friendly and quick to respond. But Emily goes beyond wedding planner and is also everything you need in a friend leading up to your wedding day: encourager, kind, supportive and fun! We would do our wedding planning and our day over 100x because of how easy Emily made the process. I’m bummed we live across the country from each other because we felt like we gained Emily as a friend throughout the process. Best decision ever was hiring her!"

Cari + Adam


"Wow I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily. She made the whole planning process for our small mountain wedding so stress free and fun! Not only did she design such a beautifully curated day filled with a fun jeep ride, beautiful mountain landscapes and incredible decor, but she also handled coordinating our wedding day with such ease despite the Colorado weather really “Colorado-ing” on us. I was able to truly sit back and have a fun time on my wedding day and focus on spending time with my family and husband without stressing about the details. She is worth every penny!!"

Allison + Taylor


"Wow! Where do I even begin? Working with Emily was an absolute dream! From day one, she made every step of planning my European ski chalet themed wedding in Telluride a breeze. Her eye for design is unmatched, and she brought my vision to life in ways I couldn't have imagined. Every detail, from the cozy decor to the breathtaking ceremony details, was perfection. But what truly sets her apart is her passion and enthusiasm. She poured her heart into making our day unforgettable, and it truly showed. Thanks to her seamless coordination and unwavering support, our wedding day was pure magic!"

"There are very few planner + coordinator + designer combos out there, and rarely does one person embody all of them. If you want a stunning, seamless & stress free wedding day….whatever the cost, hire Emily & her team. Tough to put a value on what she does. And we’ve photographed with hundreds."

Whether you’re drawn to the dramatic peaks surrounding Telluride, the rugged,
off-road beauty of Ouray or the quiet landscapes of Durango.
