As a sixth-generation Western Slope local, the San Juan Mountains aren't just my office—they are my heritage. When I’m not scouting mountain venues or navigating high-altitude logistics, you will find me exploring the trails, out on the golf course, or discovering the region's best culinary experiences.

I believe the most memorable celebrations are a direct reflection of who you are. For my clients, that means stepping away from standard wedding traditions and fully immersing themselves and their guests in the beauty of Colorado.

My approach to wedding production began with a clear philosophy: a wedding should never feel like a stressful, one-day performance. It should be a seamless, authentic experience from the moment your guests arrive. Merging an adventurous spirit with the art of sophisticated, intentional event design is where Wild Poppy sets the standard.

Planning a weekend experience across our mountain corridors—from Crested Butte to Telluride and Ouray—demands specialized local expertise. I know exactly how the changing light hits the peaks for your portraits, which exclusive venues offer the most breathtaking backdrops, and how to manage the complex logistics of remote mountain production. And because exceptional food is a personal passion of mine, I hand-select the culinary teams who create masterpieces, not just meals.

My role is to be your local advocate and trusted partner, translating your vision into a flawless, stress-free reality so your only job is to soak in the view.

  • Mountain Elegance, Defined.

    Our aesthetic is Modern Western Glam. We move past standard "rustic" to incorporate elements of sophisticated design—think clean linens, custom florals, and curated lighting that elevates an intimate space into something truly magazine-worthy.

    While we handle every logistical detail, we never lose sight of your personalized vision. We ensure the mountain setting remains the stunning backdrop, while your unique love story takes center stage through elevated, intentional design

  • On average our clients spend from $45,000-$85,000.

  • To ensure we are able to give all of our couples the utmost attention, we limit the number of couples a year we work with from 18-20.

  • As all couples are different, I tailor my planning style to best accommodate their lives and budget! I know when certain milestones need to be hit and will ensure all vendors are booked in a timely manner, but so as not to indue decision fatigue or try and have too many deposits due at once, we will customize it to you as a couple!
