Blue Linden Weddings & Events

We got married in Idaho Springs, CO in August 2024 and utilized Blue Linden’s Wedding Management Package. From our first meeting, Wanda was the most grounding and guiding force for us. There were times throughout the process where we would spin out on our own overthinking details. We would hop on a call with Wanda and all our concerns immediately melted away. Her experience and knowledge of the industry allowed her to ask questions we didn’t think of and answer our questions in a way that validated our concerns and resolved them comprehensively. She took great care and patience through many iterations of our timeline to ensure she truly understood us and our vision. She communicated with us in a straightforward manner on our evolving vision to ensure its feasibility and execute it perfectly. We had limited time at our rehearsal and Wanda was excellent at managing and instructing our wedding party and family. Our time was used efficiently, and everyone understood their role and how they fit into our vision. She helped our day be perfect, from the day-of coordination to all the guidance and support in the months prior. We really appreciated her help in coordinating with other vendors as our day got closer and we got busier. Overall, we are so grateful to Wanda and the Blue Linden team for all their support and communication that led to our perfect and completely stress-free day!

Wanda with Blue Linden Weddings & Events was just amazing! She went above and beyond for myself and my now husband Juan! She was great with our guest and my step mom said she had everything all put together at the end of the wedding and my family had nothing to worry about! I truly hope I have a life long friend with Wanda she is an amazing person and help my special day to be nothing but amazing!! Thank you so much from Ashely and Juan!

Hiring Wanda with Blue Linden Weddings & Events was one of the best decisions I made for my Summer 2023 destination wedding in Beaver Creek, CO. Wanda made planning a wedding from out of state incredibly manageable. She provided excellent vendor lists as well as endless information on the area. Throughout our many conversations, Wanda really took the time to get know us and our goals/vision for the day. She helped me keep on schedule as well as create a perfect day-of timeline. While all these things are imperative for a planner, Wanda's ability to juggle the endless tasks on the wedding day is truly an art form. She wrangled my rowdy wedding party, coordinated vendors, worked through weather-based decision, and supported me at every turn with a smile on her face. I have nothing negative to say about her!

(For those that like a bit of a background: we chose to have our wedding at a church in downtown Denver and the wedding reception in Sedalia, CO. We were looking for a wedding planner who could help us navigate the vendors, timeline, and coordination of transporting approximately 150 guests from one location to another. Along with this, the majority of our guests were from out-of-state and flying in that weekend.) How can we thank Wanda enough?! Wanda, Founder of Blue Linden Weddings and Events, worked with my husband and I for our wedding in June 2023 as our wedding planner. She was outstanding! From our very first conversation together, Wanda put us at ease with the wedding planning process and was extremely knowledgeable. She didn’t miss a beat in helping us streamline our thoughts and desires, helping us bring our vision to life. For instance, she provided a checklist for hiring vendors and a month-to-month checklist for to-dos leading to the wedding day. She also included samples for the day-of-the wedding timelines.These were helpful in deciding how we wanted to execute our wedding. Her communication was quick and responsive, she sent reminder emails and was open to phone calls, as needed. She also meditated between our vendors and venues, allowing us to be more focused on the details we enjoyed like cake tasting and picking out our linens. Furthermore, she had amazing connections with many of the local vendors, making conversations with those that we hired natural, organized and overall flawless. She is knowledgeable in the Denver area, with excellent recommendations for places our out-of-state guests would like to explore and enjoy while in Colorado. On the day of our wedding, she was there for the both of us every step of the way. She made the day seem effortless, allowing us to enjoy the time spent together with our friends and families, and took care of any of the unforeseeable issues on the big day. She went above and beyond, going to both venues at our request, helping set up before the ceremony and checking in on the bride and groom to make sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. She was very professional, kind to all our guests, and we never felt like she was overbearing in any way. She was there as someone we could lean on when we needed to, and also allowed the day to flow in its own natural way. Highly recommend, loved working with her and wishing her all the best.

If you look up the words professional and wedding planner, you will find Blue Linden Weddings & Events. We cannot recommend Wanda and her team enough. Especially if you are an out-of-state couple (we are from Texas), Wanda is your go to person! Blue Linden Weddings & Events was the first vendor we booked and it was the best start to our wedding planning journey. Her network of quality vendors and knowledge of Colorado venues is unmatched. Not only is she a professional, organized, responsive, and honest - she’s so much FUN! Before our wedding, my husband and I were able to meet her in person while we were looking at venues and we had the best time connecting with her. It was the start to a great relationship and planning adventure. Through most wedding planning process, there are hiccups along the way. We had an issue with one of our hotel room blocks and Wanda came to bat for us. She talked to the hotel and was able to work out the issue in our favor. We guarantee that Wanda will be your advocate. We are so grateful she was ours. She has basically become a part of our family. Trust us, if you want to have the BEST wedding planner, book Wanda and Blue Linden Wedding & Events!

Words cannot describe the amount of care, detail, and support that Wanda provided for our big day. We got engaged in Summer of 2021 and picked out a date quickly for July 2023. Wanda was the first vendor we hired after picking our venue and she was there every step of the way. I knew I wanted to plan most of the decor as I was DIYing everything myself, but I needed assistance picking vendors, developing a timeline, and day of help setting up and cleaning up. Wanda was extremely fair in telling us which of Blue Linden’s packages we should pick given we had already picked a venue, and even gave us advice on what to ask other wedding planners we were interviewing (since I was having a hard time coming up with helpful questions, since I’ve never planned a wedding before haha). Once we hired her, she immediately sent over a vision board to help me plan our decorations, a to do list, and vendor recommendations for the remainder of our vendors. Every single one of our vendors (with the exception of photography since we were using our engagement photographer) was recommended by Wanda, and in our interviews with them, every single vendor stated: “Oh you are working with Wanda? Your day is going to be absolutely perfect”. This statement is SO SO SOOOOO true. Leading up to the wedding, we had the normal wedding nerves and last minute frantic calls and texts to Wanda (like all couples do), but she handled every hurdle we threw at her. Then our wedding day: it was absolutely perfect. I woke up the morning of the wedding to a text from Wanda saying to enjoy the day and she can’t wait to see us! In hair and makeup, my only focus was getting to spend time with my bridesmaids and moms, Wanda and her team handled everything else. I then went to first looks with my husband, and Wanda and her team continued to handle everything. It sounds crazy, but I didn’t have to think about or make any decisions on our day. It was the most carefree day I had experienced in a long time (which is CRAZY to say) and my memories will forever be spending time with the people I love, in a place I love, all thanks to Wanda's hard work. Wanda, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the work you put in to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams. I will forever be grateful to you and your team for going above and beyond. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner, save yourself the hassle and just hire Wanda and her team. You will have the most special, stress free, magical day all thanks to their expertise. Love, The Meisters (Nolan + Elizabeth)

Wanda was an absolute professional and wonderful coordinator. We could not have planned a destination wedding without her. She helped us every step of the way from selecting our venue in Estes Park to when she took charge the day of the wedding. We would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking to plan an out of state wedding.
