Planning the I DO

Event Planner

I married my high school sweetheart many, many, many years ago, long before wedding planners existed and before we lived in Colorado so suffice it to say there was not a Colorado wedding planner involved. I have spent my career in project management in the travel technology realm. My responsibilities included managing project budgets in the millions with implementations around the globe. I never envisioned myself as a Colorado Wedding Planner but let's face it; while weddings are more fun and emotion filled than a technology project, it's still a project. It has scope, budget, timeline and people management components which all need to be kept in alignment.

I fell in love with weddings and the planning of them when I planned my daughter's wedding. It was a 12-week engagement due to an impending Naval deployment so the planning was fast, fun and fabulous. The wedding weekend was nothing short of amazing - for the bride, the groom, the friends, and the family. It was in that moment I knew I had a mission – it was to make weddings wonderful and carefree for everyone involved. Read more

    I don’t even know where to start with describing how grateful I am that we had Danielle and Entwined Planning for our wedding. About a year ago we started this whole wedding planning process and with my now husband and I both working full time and our hectic schedules, we found it difficult to even set a date let alone anything else. We contacted Danielle and she was prompt about getting back to us and so friendly. We decided to book her for full service planning. That was honestly the best decision we made for the wedding. She made everything so easy for us. We would tell her exactly what we would want and she would provide us with the vendor options that would work best for us. She helped us to find the perfect venue, dress, caterer, photographer, band, videographer, florist and more!
