This past weekend I was lucky enough to have the chance to plan the wedding of two amazing people, Alicia and Hilario. This event was super special and super fun, I really am so glad that I was able to witness it all unfold.
We started the day off with a ceremony at the ever popular and quaint Beaver Creek Chapel, http://www.vailchapel.com/bcchapel.cfm. The ceremony was filled with special personal touches. From the musical interludes provided by the Spanish Choir from Denver's St. Catejan's Catholic Church and the Vail Valley String Trio; http://www.vailvalleystrings.blogspot.com/, to the Spanish traditions of the Lazo and Arras. The ceremony was fantastic...
From there we moved on the the Westin Riverfront in Beaver Creek, http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/area/index.html?propertyID=1958. Let me tell you that their staff is top notch!!!! I have worked all over Colorado and have rarely found a group of people more dedicated to helping to execute a perfect event. My hats off to Meredith Brewer, Victor and Donny, who really "made it happen".
Anyway, we took the standard but nicely neutral ballroom and transformed it into a billowy winter wonderland, filled with beautiful orchids and crystals...Of course, we at Alexan Events, love the decor and design aspect of our events, so we handled the floral design and the fabulous lounge rentals, as well as the lighting. All of those things helped to bring it all together , but I have to say the entertainment is what really stole the evening. We had a live band and a the great DJ, Damien of Sweetsounds Entertainment; http://www.sweetsoundsdj.com/, love him!! And to top it all off, we finished out the night with my favorite of all time; Sol de Mi Tierra, the amazing Mariachis; http://www.cccoleman.com/mariachi/.
But the most important part of the whole night was, of course, the bride and groom. Alicia and Hilario were so great to work with. Alicia is much like me, very detail oriented and I appreciated her desire to make this event special through the details. We created fabulous guest boxes, a great itinerary and great favors...The night was magical and their love was so apparent.
