At Aspen & Ivy, we understand the ins and outs of planning a Vail wedding. From finding amazing venue options to ensuring your decor is just so, we’re dedicated to bringing out the best in your wedding vision.
We’re the buffer between you and wedding planning stresses. With our full-service planning package, we’ll source vendors, manage contracts, create a seamless and organized schedule, and help with all the little details.
Our trusted team of Vail wedding planners takes pride in making the planning process easy and enjoyable. That way you can focus on what’s important - marrying your best friend and celebrating with loved ones.
Few towns rival the captivating views of Vail. The grand peaks of the Gore Mountain Range, tranquil Gore Creek, and White River National Forest’s towering trees are a picturesque backdrop for your celebration. It’s also 10 minutes from Beaver Creek, perfect for guests considering both locations for their wedding events.
We love the many hotel options for guests with shuttles that service Denver International Airport. Once you arrive in Vail it’s easy to get around without a car. The lively downtown area with a European feel is home to restaurants, bars, entertainment, and festivals all summer. There’s also no shortage of activities for nature lovers including skiing, hiking, gondola rides, and fishing.
• Include information on your wedding websites to inform guests how to prevent altitude sickness.
• Book early since Vail is a small mountain town.
• Host a full wedding weekend for your guests with a large welcome party and post-wedding brunch.
• Embrace nature in your design to enhance Vail’s natural beauty and not compete with it.

"My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in Vail, CO for aprx 150 people. We hired Casey as our wedding planner and are so grateful for her and all of her insights during the time leading up to the big day, as well as on our wedding day! She was so kind, understanding, prompt, and organized. She organized the entire outdoor ceremony, made the day of timeline, was our contact point for all of the vendors, but was mainly just a fantastic sounding board for all the little things. She always responded to my emails quickly and professionally. Casey was also able to provide vendor suggestions that I wouldn't have found on my own, and they were amazing! Having Casey and her team present on our wedding day made the entire day run smoothly and without incidents. Thank you Casey :)"

Hop on a shuttle from Denver International Airport for easy transportation to your hotel in Vail. There are also the Eagle airport near the town roughly 30 miles away. Guests can arrange a shuttle or can rent a car or hire private transportation from the Eagle Airport.
There’s no shortage of things to do throughout the year in Vail. Go skiing and snowboarding in the winter, or horseback riding, hiking and whitewater rafting in the summer.
Because Vail is a small town it’s easy to navigate to your weekend wedding events and activities. Many locations are within walking distance. Local bus services or your hotel’s complimentary shuttle are also available.
Couples planning a wedding in Vail should estimate about $1,000 per guest for their ceremony and reception. This cost does not include the rehearsal dinner, post-wedding brunch, attire, or lodging. Many venues with on-site lodging often give couples and their guests a discounted rate on room blocks.

"She helped me and my husband create a dream wedding during one of the most chaotic times in our life. My husband was living and training in Oklahoma City while I lived in Kansas City trying to plan a wedding a preparing for a move. Casey made the wedding process so easy and enjoyable. I honestly have no idea what I would have done without her. I can honestly say I was sad the next day because I knew I would get to talk to her as often. She is a hard and dedicated worker who will become a close friend! I highly recommend Aspen & Ivy and would say they are the best in the business. "
We had our wedding in Vail and it would have never been possible if I hadn't found Casey!
