Colorado Elopement Package for Jessica and Christian at Eastholme B&B, Cascade, CO

Our Colorado Elopement Wedding Package was what Jessica and Christian were envisioning for their intimate ceremony for just the two of them.  Their wish was for a romantic and elegant ceremony with no stress and to create a relaxing getaway.  Christian is serving our country in Afghanistan and was home for his two week leave.  Jessica was so excited for his return home and just could not wait to marry the love of her life.


Their ceremony was held in the wedding gazebo on February 13, 2010, a picture perfect Colorado day.  The snow capped mountains and blue skies was the backdrop for a romantic ceremony.  Rev Conrad performed the ceremony which included the ribbon hand binding of five ribbon colors representing love, laughter, understanding, tenderness and compassion. Reflections Photography was there to capture the precious moments of their unity with photography and video photography.

Following the ceremony Jessica and Christian returned to their bed and breakfast room for a relaxing his and her en suite massage by our licensed massage therapist.  Later that evening Chef Aron prepared a gourmet six course dinner served in the privacy of their room, the perfect ending to a perfect day.

I had the blessed opportunity to plan their intimate elopement and romantic getaway.  It was a wonderfully intimate affair at Eastholme. The ceremony was rather short, in respect to time, but not on sentiment or meaning. It was a pleasure and honor to be a part of such a beautiful special day.  Thank you for allowing us to share in your new beginning as husband and wife.

All Inclusive Colorado Mountain Wedding for Jennifer & Triston at Eastholme B&B

On a beautiful Colorado winter day, family and friends came together at Eastholme in the Rockies to witness the marriage of Jennifer and Triston. 

The wedding was held in the formal parlor on January 23, 2010. Following the ceremony a reception was held in the formal dining room.  An elegant affair with culinary delights prepared by Cravings Five Star Catering.  A formal setting of 30 guests for a fabulous gourmet plated dinner.

We started planning the event in July 2009 after meeting with Jennifer and Triston. They wanted an intimate wedding and reception for thirty of their family and friends. They selected our "Ultimate Affair Wedding and Reception Package" .  Our most popular all inclusive wedding and reception package with guest accommodations for a two day event.

The wedding theme colors were white, silver and red. The bride carried a beautiful wedding bouquet of red roses, red berries with greenery.  The guest enjoyed the tiered cup cake tree of red velvet cup cakes with white cream icing topped with silver snowflakes.

The families came together to witness and support these two joining together in marriage as husband and wife.  Their daughter Natalie, two years of age was the extra highlight of the weekend. Reflections Photography was there to capture the precious moments shared by all.

I can't express how wonderful and gracious each and every person was who attended this wedding. A special thank you to Jennifer's parents Jim and Carolyn for their support. 

To Jennifer and Triston, thank you for honoring me with the joy that you have brought to my life and to your family and friends.  From Eastholme and its staff we wish you happiness, love and a healthy life as husband and wife.
