Distinctive Mountain Events

as fantastic—she is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and a genuine pleasure to work with. Over the course of 1.5 years of planning, she consistently eased all of my anxieties, always making herself available to answer questions and provide guidance. Ebs has amazing relationships with local vendors, which made the planning process seamless and stress-free. On our wedding day, she handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment. Multiple guests said it was the most logically smooth wedding they've ever attended, and that is all thanks to Ebs. I would recommend Ebs to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding planner.

ess and made sure everything was done in a timely fashion and kept my mind at ease. My wedding ended up even more perfect than I could have imagined. Everything went seamless the day of thanks to Ebs. All I had to worry about was getting ready and showing up.

If you want the perfect wedding beyond your dreams then call DISTINCTIVE MOUNTAIN EVENTS TODAY! You will not be disappointed!!

we needed to take to have a wonderful wedding day. She was always flexible and available for calls when needed, whether for actual planning questions or simply emotional support throughout the planning months. On our actual wedding day, Katelyn was nothing short of spectacular. We were able to focus on having a great time while she ran the most incredible wedding we could ever have imagined. Even with Caroline's wedding dress bussling mishaps on the dance floor, she managed to sneak in and fix it whenever opportunities presented themselves, and we could carry on having a great time! We would never have been able to pull off such an incredible wedding without Ebs and Katelyn at DME. They supported and guided us in the biggest and most wonderful event of our lives, which left us and every one of our family members and friends smiling from ear to ear. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all your hard work and support.

ith—responsive, organized, and always one step ahead in the planning process. Her expertise and attention to detail gave us so much confidence leading up to our big day. On our wedding day in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado, Ebs went above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect. The weather was gorgeous, wildflowers were in full bloom, and every detail was flawlessly executed. Ebs managed all the vendors seamlessly, handled any last-minute adjustments with ease, and even stayed late to ensure everything went smoothly. Her calm and professional demeanor allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment of our special day. If you’re planning a mountain wedding, we can’t recommend Distinctive Mountain Events and Ebs Long enough. They exceeded all of our expectations and helped create memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Ebs, for making our wedding day magical!

make our day special. Ebs knew exactly who would be a great fit for our vision and worked seamlessly to bring everything together. Throughout the planning process, she was kind, polite, and thoughtful, always making sure we felt comfortable and supported. Ebs is a true professional who consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, making her a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Ebs was also a master of organization, keeping us on track with detailed checklists and timelines that kept everything running smoothly. Her deep understanding of Summit County venues and the local area gave us confidence that she knew exactly what was needed to make our wedding day flawless. On the big day, she worked closely with our day-of planner, Katelyn, to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Thanks to Ebs, we were able to relax and enjoy our wedding knowing every detail had been thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection.

dered other planners with lower quotes, going with DME was WORTH EVERY PENNY and then some!! I even had guests rave about how incredible my planner was. For instance, when our welcome sign arrived just two days before the wedding with an error, Ebs didn’t miss a beat. Without me even asking, she found a local printer, coordinated the file transfer, negotiated a fantastic price, and had it reprinted and picked up the very next day. That’s exactly the kind of person you want on your team for your wedding day! Over the year-long planning journey, I not only gained an amazing planner but a friend. Ebs made the entire experience stress-free and fun. If you’re on the fence about hiring this planner, I promise that DME will be the best investment you make to ensure your wedding day is flawless!

ique vision for our day into a breathtaking reality. She took the time to understand our style and preferences, guiding us through every step of the planning process. What truly set her apart was her exceptional ability to communicate with us, our families and our vendors. She handled all communications seamlessly, allowing us to focus on the joy of our upcoming day rather than the logistics. On the wedding day itself, Ebs went above and beyond. She not only set up and took down all our decorations with such care, but she also made sure that my husband and I had the chance to enjoy every moment—including all the delicious food! Her thoughtfulness in ensuring we were taken care of made us feel truly supported and relaxed throughout the day. Most importantly, she eased our fears and worries at every turn. Her calm presence and unwavering support made a world of difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey. If you’re looking for someone who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, look no further than Distinctive Mountain Events. We are forever grateful for her incredible work and couldn’t have imagined our wedding without her!

far the best decision in our entire wedding planning journey. From the very first phone call, it was clear we were in great hands. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about so many things, but also warm and friendly, which made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process. Every question we had—no matter how big or small—was met with patience and thorough answers, and trust me, we had a million questions. Our wedding day truly felt like a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to Ebs’s unwavering dedication. She took the time to understand our vision and then brought it to life, and it was even more than we hoped for. Ebs recommended multiple options for all of our vendors, and we chose her recommendations and they were perfect matches for us. You can genuinely feel how much she loves her job and her clients, and many of our vendors echoed this sentiment. Our lives were unexpectedly turned upside-down three weeks before our wedding and I had 100% confidence and trust in Ebs to handle everything while I stepped away to be with family. She handled that situation with such grace and compassion, making sure all of our last minute changes and requests were met. On our wedding day, we felt completely at ease knowing that she was in control. I’m as “type A“ as they get, and although I’m typically perpetually stressed out, I was SO uncharacteristically chill on my wedding day, which I believe is because I knew we had Ebs on our side. In the end our day was flawless, and we couldn't have done it without her expertise and support. I often joke that—without Ebs—I would have cried a hundred times during planning and probably would have eloped! She made this entire journey not only manageable but truly enjoyable, to the point where I wish I could do it all over again. If you're looking for a wedding planner who offers unparalleled expertise and feels like family on your special day, look no further than Distinctive Mountain Events/Ebs We honestly love her so much!! Cannot recommend enough! :)

g force through every step of the way. Her relationships may be her greatest superpower though - she seems to know everyone in town, made great recos of other vendors, and some of our vendors even told us they only agree to work with Distinctive Mountain Events given their solid reputation. As a couple planning their wedding from out of state, we chose to hire DME for their full wedding planning service and it was one of the best planning decisions we made, worth every penny! Ebs truly made planning the least of our worries. She was great at managing timelines and reminding us of critical deadlines. Not only that, but she had great advice throughout the process, especially when we got stuck on certain decisions. Day of, she was like an extension of our family who kept the day running smoothly and managing any wrinkles like a pro. If anything went wrong, we never would have known as she was a problem solving queen. Truly so thankful for everything the DME team did to have our day go off without a hitch!

ped into my head along the way. She was super organized and great at keeping us on track and crossing off our checklist. We were planning a Breck wedding from afar and booked the place without seeing it til our wedding day and we could only have done that by having Ebs be the expert and insider. I valued her opinion and experience when making decisions. On the day of, she was incredible behind the scenes-- including putting out little fires that I didn't even know where happening (which is exactly what I needed/wanted). Ebs was great working with vendors and we could not have planned this wedding without her and her team!

he completely lived up to the hype! After carefully listening to the bride and groom’s somewhat unique request to ski in our wedding attire after the ceremony, Ebs was quick to narrow down the venue options. She helped with transportation for the wedding party to ski and board, as well as referred us to the best photographers, DJs, and florists, keeping our budget in mind. She suggested the best places to shop for wedding attire, as well as provided discount codes for attire and transportation. She advocated with the vendors for us, often getting additional services for low to no cost. We were nicely nudged on checklists when needed, which was important as the wedding was planned in less than 6 months! Ebs detailed timeline for the wedding weekend was invaluable. She kept the rehearsal moving the night before, negotiated with the venue for additional time in the bridal suite, fixed an issue with the food and drink during the event, and, most importantly, kept the bride and groom calm and happy! While controlling the weather was not in her job description, Ebs saved the day when terrible winter weather arrived. On the January weekend, Breckenridge received 3-4 feet of snow, preceded by an arctic blast of cold temps (-20 degrees) and powerful winds (40 mph). The evening before the wedding, the mountain pass from Denver closed, meaning the groomsmen missed the rehearsal but arrived safely later that night. On the wedding day, as pictures were starting, Ebs calmly informed us that all ski areas had closed due to high winds. Chairlifts were not running. After consulting with local experts, she quickly came up with a back-up plan. Ebs worked with the shuttle drivers to drop the skiers off on a run that does not need to be accessed by a chairlift – the ski home run at the end of the day. The bride said snowboarding in a wedding dress was easy and it was an added benefit that we were the only ones on the mountain given it was closed. The wedding was spectacular, despite the crazy weather. A giant thanks to Ebs for the amazing memories!

ul wedding in the mountains of Breckenridge with dancing under the stars. Ebs was always quick to respond to questions and brought a wealth of knowledge and vendors to help us. Ebs and Natalie went beyond our expectations with calmly taking care of every last detail on the wedding day. We would definitely recommended them to friends and anyone wanting an amazing wedding.

r throughout this process. She suggested vendors for us to choose from and we loved every single one of them! Natalie was a joy to work with the day of/ day before the wedding. She is So calm, organized and helped with all the tiny details so we could be present and enjoy the day. Forever grateful for them 💜💜

edding night and ensured everything ran to perfection. Although never meeting Natalie prior to the wedding weekend, she was also very organized and knew exactly what the drill was!

ut the whole process and was always very responsive to our questions. Natalie was also great as our day of coordinator; everything went very smoothly with their support.

and having fun on my day. I was ever stressed and everything went very smooth. Natalie is kind and very personable. If you want a seamless experience I would recommend you ask for Natalie!

e true, and that is all thanks to DME’s experience, attention to detail, and love for their clients! We would often joke that we forgot DME even had other clients because we truly felt like such a high priority: DME was always incredibly responsive, and when an issue would come up with a vendor it was often already solved by Ebs and her team before I even had a chance to be worried. We originally chose DME because we do not live in Colorado full-time, and we knew we needed someone who was familiar with the area and the vendors to help with the planning and execution of the wedding of our dreams. Little did we know, we were getting the most popular, talented, and loved planning team in the area! DME seems to now literally everyone in Summit County and beyond and is well respected by all. All I had to do was say “Oh, I am working with DME” and was treated as a high priority from all vendors. We never, ever felt like DME was looking out for anything other than our best interests. By the end of the entire year (!) we spent working with DME, they had caught so many little details that were over looked by other vendors and essentially saved the day so many times. For example, two days before the wedding she caught the fact that, for some reason, the rental company forgot to add on rain flaps for the tent - which are typically included in any tent order. As it does almost every afternoon in Colorado, it then rained during the wedding dinner. Everyone would have been soaked and freezing if it weren’t for DME! That is just a small example of how invaluable DME is to your wedding. They have so much experience that they literally think through EVERY detail and are insanely organized. I am jealous of any future couple that gets to work with them… I already want to do it all over again!!

elped our intimate mountain wedding weekend to go off without a hitch. We are so grateful for all the effort they put in on our special day!

ter looking at all of them she somehow ALWAYS nailed it with the first. She made stressful planning a breeze without pushing anything on you and has the experience to answer all of your questions. It would be easy to talk on and on about how amazing she was to work with, but just hire her and find out. When you get engaged you don't realize how hard planning a wedding CAN be, and with her help, you'll never have to.

ause we live in NY. She was very responsive and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Our planner the day of the wedding was Natalie. She is great too! She was super organized and on top of everything. The transition between Ebs and Natalie was seamless. I would highly recommend DME for any Colorado weddings! They made the entire process so much easier for us!

et personal to our own needs and ideas. She made vendor suggestions but was not demanding in any way and allowed us to consider all of the options. When we had a venue change six months into the planning she handled it professionally and kept us focused on new options and all the possibilities. Ebs never wavered and always kept us on track with decision making and encouragement. We could always count on Ebs' up beat approach and positive attitude during our planning calls. To us, DME's value or cost was invaluable. Ebs made it fun, stress free and allowed us to enjoy the wedding day festivities without worry. Don't think twice, hire her. It will be your best decision. Sara and John (Parents of Bride)

little details I never would have thought about and logistics of transportation and rentals that never crossed my mind. I felt like she always really listened to me and heard all the details that were special to me. Leading up to the wedding I wasn’t worried at all about how the day would go or about how everything looked; I just got to be excited to finally marry my best friend! And that is such a joy to have on your wedding day to not have to worry about anything else. Ebs made sure to get us perfect vendors to match our style. And Natalie was absolutely amazing on our wedding day making sure everything me and Ebs had planned actually came true! And holy cow did it! I was blown away with how everything came together. Me and Lucas had such an amazing day, exactly how we always dreamed of it (ceremony in the mountains in the morning, skiing in the afternoon, and a long relaxing delicious dinner). I never could of made our dream wedding a reality planning it myself. Ebs and Natalie you both rock! Thank you!

ing the height of omicron with a mask mandate so no stress was a miracle)! She took care of everything and we just got to enjoy our day and I trusted everything was worked out. I am an analytical brained person so creativity is not my strong suit. Ebs is both analytical and creative. Which means your event will be planned down to the small details perfectly and executed with precision and grace. She brought my ideas to life! She made sure we didn’t miss a detail. She worked with us every step of the way making changes we wanted or answering every question (even simple ones like which tie). It’s worth mentioning that we did a Summit county wedding on a tighter budget. Ebs did amazing! We didn’t feel like we missed out on anything due to our budget. After working with Ebs for a little over a year, I feel I have developed a real friendship with her. She is a genuine caring person who will make your day an unforgettable special experience. You can’t go wrong choosing DME.

ng we needed every step of the way. When we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic restrictions, Ebs took the lead during an unexpected and challenging time to make sure we were able to retain all our vendors and secure a new date for the following year. Ebs was able to connect us with great vendors for everything we need, from wedding bands, to florists, to local bow-tie manufacturers! We told Ebs during our first meeting that our goal was to not have to worry about anything on our wedding day, and just be able to enjoy the day. Ebs had everything organized and the day of coordination was very smooth and went off without a hitch! We cannot recommend her and Distinctive Mountain Events enough.

me in the right direction for the venue and every vendor we used. She went above and beyond during the entire process. I cannot stress enough how helpful she was. Our day of Planner, Natalie, was also amazing. My wedding was perfect and I give full credit to DME.

an our wedding day! Katelyn, our day of coordinator, made sure the day of logistics were seamlessly executed and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy the day. We can't recommend them enough!

it wouldn’t be a simple endeavor. I spoke to four wedding planners, and knew instantly that DME was the only way to go. Why? Ebs listened to every single word that I said, gave me all the info and advice I didn’t know I was missing, and made our priorities HER priorities, from Day 1 through the week after, showing grace and good humor at every turn. There were dozens of big and small things that could have gone wrong, but thanks to Ebs and Natalie, I can truly say that I went into my wedding day with zero stress and enjoyed the wedding of my dreams. Do not hesitate to hire DME! Whether you’re planning a complicated affair like ours or an “easy” one, you will have total peace-of-mind knowing your vision is in good hands.

nd it was perhaps the best money spent within the wedding budget! She is organized, creative, and an absolute joy to work with- I started getting sad a month before the wedding because I knew I was going to miss our phone conversations when it was all over! Her expertise in the mountain wedding industry really does make a difference- especially when navigating ever-changing mask mandates. Every vendor I talked to was so excited and grateful that I was working with Ebs and that goes a long way! So many of my guests commented that it was the best wedding that they had been to and I credit that to both the mountains and Ebs, but mostly Ebs. I'm forever grateful! If you're questioning pulling the trigger for her services, do it! At the VERY LEAST for month out/coordinating!

wedding, Katelyn handled every last detail, question, or issue that came our way and our day played out perfectly. People were commenting on how calm I seemed leading up to the big moment and it's all because of these awesome ladies. On top of that, they are so friendly and easy to talk to. I can't thank them enough. My family and I offer our highest recommendation! <3

oviding guidance and tips whenever I needed (which was often). We rescheduled and had our wedding recently and everything we've been planning came to life. I did the month of & more package and it exceeded all of my expectations. Ebs was quick to hop on a call to clarify any questions, plus gave pointers on questions for vendors, A to Z helped me through everything. I cannot express how much she helped through the process, and Natalie our day of coordinator was amazing in executing our vision! She kept it all together the day of where I did not have to worry about a thing, and I'm a very type A bride. I cannot recommend this team enough, you will not be disappointed!!

edibly helpful through what I know to be a very stressful process and she went above and beyond in so many ways. I know I was not always on top of things but she was always patient, insightful, and thoughtful in our communications. Her help with decision-making was invaluable.

and I am beyond grateful for all of her hard work. They are professional and prompt and will deliver on all fronts. In addition, our day of wedding planner was amazing and it felt like I had my own personal assistant all day long - I loved it! I highly recommend their services.

in CO, but we live in MN she helped us schedule site visits for our visit in early July. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we didn't get to meet her in person, but she was always available if we needed help. She has suggestions for venues, bakeries, private homes, DJ's... anything and EVERYTHING! We loved how reasonably priced her services were. Ebs was willing to set up a payment plan with us to help ensure we got everything we wanted. She was willing to do everything in her power to make sure we got everything we needed for our wedding and ensure our day was perfect. We would HIGHLY recommend Ebs for your wedding! She was willing to go above and beyond before we even signed a contract or put down a payment. - Grace and Chase

beautifully. They even bared the cold for us to make sure our wedding was perfect!

nd thank goodness we found Distinctive Mountain Events! We had the weekend of coordination and our wedding coordinator was Jackie who was absolutely amazing. From the details meeting to the rehearsal to the actual wedding day, Jackie kept everyone on schedule and kept the events of the day running like a well oiled machine! Every moment of the day was perfectly timed but we never felt rushed, Jackie kept everything so smooth and we would not have been able to enjoy our wedding day without her! She was able to translate our vision perfectly and also kept all our vendors on schedule (including the wait staff!). We were really so impressed and so thankful for her. Anything we needed, she was right there to assist (even with bustling my dress!). Thank you Jackie and Distinctive Mountain Events for making our wedding day exactly what we wanted!

ating she was. She truly made the day exactly what I had pictured and made sure I did not have a care in the world throughout. I could not have asked for a better experience with a coordinator and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in CO. They know everything about the venues from top to bottom and really make sure your dream day is a reality.

nd professional. Right from the start we knew we had chosen right since just about every vendor knew Ebs and had nothing but positive things to say about her. She helped us figure out good options for our venue, helped us sift through all the details, and by the time we got to the final planning meeting the day before the wedding, we felt 100% ready and in the right hands as she took us through every step of the wedding. On the day of the wedding itself, we could see all the evidence of the hard work Ebs and her team put in but never really had to ask her for anything since it all flowed so smoothly. She and her clipboard kept us on track and moved the timeline seamlessly to facilitate longer photo sessions, late members of the wedding party, and all the complications that may have thrown a less experienced team. Overall, our wedding went better than we could have ever imagined and a very large part of that was the spectacular work and planning put in by Distinctive Mountain Events. We would highly recommend Ebs and her amazing team for any wedding in the Keystone or Breckinridge area.

and securing vendors, scheduling, and general guidance). We selected the Partial Planning Package with Distinctive Mountain Events and worked with Elizabeth "Ebs" Long. Ebs was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. Her schedule was flexible and she was very knowledgeable about vendors (e.g., florists, DJs, catering companies, etc) in the area. The day of the wedding was also wonderful thanks to Distinctive Mountain Events. Their team did an amazing job planning our event and coordinating with the vendors to make sure everything went smoothly.

around, and just a massive help altogether. Don't think twice about booking her for your day-of coordination. You'll be oh so happy you did!

unity and the smaller companies that they do business with. They are on first name basis with all of their vendors from the owners down to the servers. Then I met Johnna and Ebs and I can understand why every one loves them so much. They are personable, dynamic and you kind of just want to be their best friend! We chose to go with the full package because we both work full time and wouldn't be able to make the wedding of our dreams come true without a little help. They were the perfect choice! They took our ideas and made them a reality. They gave us the most magical and beautiful wedding that was straight out of magazine (I might be a little biased). On the day of I had nothing to worry about except marring my man and getting to be with all of our friends and family. I had zero worries or anxieties, but instead had the best day of my life thanks to Johnna and Ebs.

ul. Ebs is so sweet and professional. She helped create a dream wedding vision I didn’t even know I had! My family and I all agreed that using Distinctive Mountain Events was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process!

ng from out of town she had the perfect package available that fit our budget but also provided endless vendor recommendations, local expertise, and totally hands-on got-your-back support the weekend of our wedding. I never felt embarrassed to ask her anything, and she was always awesome and super responsive when I needed her.

wedding day absolutely perfect and take away all the stress of planning so we could fully enjoy the process. Leading up to the wedding, Ebs was so helpful in finding the vendors that were a perfect fit for us (every vendor was chose was PUMPED to be working with Ebs, too!), she answered all questions and concerns, and made sure we had everything in place so our wedding would go off without a hitch. She was the most fun, calming and enjoyable person to work with!!! Our big Day was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE and I give most of the credit to Ebs! Our wedding was more magical than we could have imagined because she took care of EVERYTHING allowing us to fully take in and embrace our wedding from start to finish. If you’re even contemplating getting a wedding planner...DO IT! Hire Ebs and Distintive Moutain Events and give yourself the best gift ever for your wedding! THANK YOU SO MUCH EBS!

bs is fantastic...there is no way we can thank her enough for everything she did to make the day go smoothly. We live in Kansas, so it was a little overwhelming to try and plan everything out of state. She was so fun to work with and is a true professional. We highly recommend Ebs for any event planning needs you may have. She made everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable and was just so much fun to work with and be around. Thank you Ebs and Distinctive Mountain Events for helping to make my daughter's wedding day so special!
