I can’t express enough how incredibly grateful I am to have had Brynn by my side throughout the entire wedding planning process. From suggesting other vendors that perfectly fit our vibe to including my favorite Denver bakery in our tablescapes— she was dedicated to making our wedding day come to life in the most personal, thoughtful, and meaningful way possible.
Brynn took the time to learn about us, our love story, and our values. There were so many parts to the wedding that made it uniquely us and that was all a product of Brynn's creativity. Whether it was the personalized seating chart wall with our photography, or the custom coaster place cards, these thoughtful touches at the reception made our guests feel like family, it felt like us.
I honestly can't thank Brynn enough for creating such a beautiful and memorable day. If you want a wedding that is flawlessly organized, uniquely tailored to your style, and filled with love, I cannot recommend Brynn enough!
We can't say enough great things about Brynn and First Look. Brynn really took time to get to know each of us individually and as a couple and from there helped us envision, design and ultimately execute the most beautiful and special wedding. Her design vision and recommendations were critical to bringing our vision to life and it was better than we could even imagine. Without Brynn and her team our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as magical and it truly reflected us, and brought the people that mean the most to us together for a truly memorable and special day. She made the process fun, less stressful and ultimately provided us with a day that we will remember for the rest of our life. She is organized and professional, ensuring that even when we had a hiccup during the day that the vendor corrected the issue and refunded us. Her attentiveness to our needs before, during and after the wedding was unmatched. Hiring Brynn was the single best decision we made in our wedding planning process!
From the very first meeting, it was clear that Brynn was not just a wedding planner, but a true partner in crafting our special day. She communicated clearly and consistently, ensuring that we were always informed and comfortable with the planning process. Brynn's attention to detail was remarkable; she anticipated our needs and preferences, making thoughtful suggestions that elevated our vision into a stunning reality!! Brynn seamlessly coordinated with vendors (SOOO thankful for this) allowing us to focus on enjoying the journey. I genuinely believe that without Brynn's expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the magical experience it turned out to be.
Working with Alexandra from First Look was such a treat. She was patient, kind, and made sure to keep our non-traditional wedding true to us and what we were hoping to experience. From helping us communicate with every vendor, to answering every silly question we had, we got an experience that was specifically tailored to us. Alexandra respected and appreciated our needs and vision, and was an invaluable resource throughout the process. Not only that, but she pulled off an amazing event day-of, and we didn't worry about anything. I was SO much more relaxed than I could have ever thought I would be on my wedding day. Even our guests commented that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to! We were actually so sad to say goodbye to Alexandra, she is such a wonderful person to be around. We can't recommend her and First Look enough!
When we got engaged in 2022, we nearly immediately knew that our engagement would be two years rather than one due to the effects Covid had on the venue market. Even though two years seems like enough time to book a wedding, anyone who has gone through wedding planning can agree that more time is better than less. Which is exactly why we chose Brynn as our wedding planner, who soon became a close friend of ours.
Brynn has a way of putting everything as ease in those stressful situations, she is always smiling and having fun, her organization is immaculate when it comes to reaching check points and organizing bi-weekly zoom meetings, but most noticed is that she truly cares about her clients and the production of weddings. In the 1.5 years we spent with Brynn, not only were we more than satisfied with her professionalism, but more importantly she became somebody that will always be our friend. We cannot recommend First Look Events enough- you will be in great hands!
Love,
The Reardons
We chose First Look Events after talking with other party and wedding planning companies. First Look’s business and planning model is reasonable and makes sense compared to others so it was a no brainer. Brynn was super sweet and thorough in our initial talk.
Alexandra was assigned as our planner and there by our side every step of the way - from site visits to vendor selection through every final little last minute detail. We have insanely hectic schedules and she was patient and understanding but also great at cracking the whip to keep us on schedule! By the time the party was here, we had no worries or question marks and were able to just relax and have fun. The vendors they connected us with knocked it out of the park and created a truly fabulous party.
It turns out party planning is stressful! Could not be more grateful for First Look and most importantly Alexandra for helping us create such special memories with our friends and family. So glad she was there with us and now consider her a friend <3 If you’re considering First Look, I highly recommend!
Brynn and First Look Events helped us plan our wedding and we couldn't recommend her enough to other couples. Brynn took the time to get to know us to craft a custom design with unique elements that truly represented us as a couple. Brynn has a way of being able to understand and articulate what I wanted even when I couldn't find the right way to communicate it. Her attention to detail was unmatched and she was always trying to come up with new innovative ideas that haven't been done in other weddings. We had some unexpected complications come up with a vendor the week of the wedding, and Brynn seamlessly jumped into action to find a solution by using her contacts in the area. I had complete trust in Brynn and her team during the wedding weekend, and we were able to enjoy our time with friends and family without any worries. Brynn has such a calming presence that constantly reassured me during a stressful planning period. She was such a pleasure to work with and we are so grateful to have found her. Thank you, Brynn, for giving us our dream wedding!
From the moment we began working with Brynn at First Look Events, it was clear that we were in expert hands. Brynn's exceptional talent and dedication were evident throughout the entire wedding planning process, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring our vision to life.
Brynn's expertise in every aspect of wedding planning was remarkable. She had an incredible ability to understand our ideas and transform them into a beautiful reality. Her recommendations for vendors were spot-on, each one carefully chosen to align perfectly with our style and preferences. It was evident that Brynn has a deep knowledge of the industry and a keen eye for detail, which made a significant difference in the overall execution of our wedding.
What truly set Brynn apart, though, was her genuine kindness and commitment to making us feel comfortable and supported. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, often going out of her way to address our concerns and accommodate our needs. Her warm and approachable demeanor on full display our wedding day with thoughtful touches and check-ins to make sure we had anything and everything we needed.
Thanks to Brynn's hard work and dedication, our wedding day was nothing short of magical. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and support, and we wholeheartedly recommend Brynn Swanson and First Look Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines expertise with a personal touch. Thank you, Brynn, for making our special day everything we dreamed it would be!
Where do I even begin with Brynn and the First Look Team. If you are looking for a stress free, creative, out of the box, stunning wedding, run don't walk and hire Brynn and the First Look Team ASAP. Brynn really got to know my husband and I and created the most meaningful and personal design for our wedding day. She worked with vendors and created a design that was out of this world- everything we were looking for. Her attention to detail and ability to go outside the wedding norm makes her weddings impeccable. Vendors are dying to work with her and all the vendors I know always told me she makes the wedding day so amazing. It was a no brainer she was going to be the person for us. The wedding day itself was stress free and we were able to be so present because of Brynn. Her attention to detail and timelines and communication with vendors created the most amazing, present environment for not only me and my husband, but for our parents to enjoy. Brynn has become a dear friend to us and I can't wait to hire for all of our big events in the future. She is truthfully the best at her craft! I miss talking to her every day, thats how much she makes an impacts on all of her bride's lives.
I am so grateful to have had Alexandra as our wedding planner! We had initially worked with a planner from another company who wasn't organized or enthusiastic, and after we found First Look Events, let go of the other planner, and started working with Alexandra, everything went really well. She is organized, excited, kind, understanding, thoughtful, professional, all of the best things you want in a planner when you go through the wedding planning process. The day of our wedding was an absolute dream because of Alexandra. She handled everything with ease and grace. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding the best day of our lives, you are amazing!!
It’s no wonder Brynn and First Look Events have planned 3 weddings in our family, and why we’ve referred her to every bride and groom we know getting married in Colorado.
Where do we even begin? Working with Brynn was hands down the best decision we made for our big day. Brynn has this incredible knack for understanding exactly what you want, even when you can't quite put it into words yourself. She took our scattered ideas and transformed them into a cohesive and breathtaking event that exceeded every expectation we had.
The attention to detail was mind-blowing. Every flower, every table setting, every tiny detail was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly everything ran.
Speaking of running smoothly, Brynn is a logistical wizard. She handled everything from coordinating vendors to managing timelines with such ease that we were able to relax and truly enjoy our day without a single worry. That peace of mind is priceless.
Beyond her organizational skills, Brynn is just an absolute pleasure to work with. She has this calming presence that is so reassuring during what can be a stressful time. She listened to our ideas, offered invaluable advice, and always made us feel like our wedding was her top priority.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day special, look no further than Brynn and First Look Events. She is not just a planner, but a true artist and a friend who genuinely cares about making your wedding day as perfect as it can be.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Brynn, for giving us the wedding of our dreams. You're simply the best!
We had an amazing experience with First Look Events, and specifically with our wedding planner, Alexandra Turner. We hired First Look a little later than expected due to having a bad experience with the first wedding planner we hired at another company- and we are SO grateful that we found Alexandra after that! Alexandra was truly excellent. She was detail-oriented, organized, and so responsive to emails/ texts leading up to our big day. I had multiple DIY projects going to help make my vision a reality, and Alexandra was both gracious and helpful in making my vision come to life.
Our wedding turned out to be absolutely magical, and we have Alexandra and the First Look Events staff to thank for that! They handled everything from the beginning of tent setup to the extra tear-down at the end of the night due to said DIY projects, and everything ran smoothly and wonderfully. I honestly think it was the perfect wedding, although I know that Alexandra and her staff were running around behind the scenes to make it so. Alexandra and her staff also went out of their way to make our guest experience wonderful- we decided to have a buffet meal for our wedding, and Alexandra and her staff coordinated meals to be served to two of our tables with elderly guests who were uncomfortable standing in line. It's this attention to detail that made Alexandra such a wonderful person to have behind the scenes at our wedding.
First Look Events has planned many of my friends' weddings, and they have all been distinct, beautiful, and reflective of each individual couple. From a winter wedding at the Brown Palace to our summer garden party at Chatfield Farms, this team really knows how to design and execute a flawless event for each unique couple, which is such a gift. Our wedding had so many personal touches that Alexandra helped us coordinate, and she directed all of the other vendors professionally, promptly, and with great success. There were quite a few things that I was particular about when it came to my wedding day and Alexandra really made sure those things were to my liking and exactly as I wanted them to be. Alexandra also took over all of the specific details with vendors a few months ahead of our wedding, which really helped me relax and enjoy the experience much more than I could have without her.
We highly, highly recommend Alexandra and the First Look Events staff for your event. It was the best money we spent as I could've never pulled off an event of this size without Alexandra's guidance and help. She was truly wonderful. Thank you so much for everything, Alexandra and Brynn. We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and appreciate you all so much!
We feel incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Brynn for our wedding. Not only did she save the day when we had our original venue back out of our contract (while she was on vacation no less!) she went above and beyond to make sure we had an ideal new plan in place before the week was even through. She cares about her clients and showcasing their individuality through her creative design, bringing everything together into one cohesive and unique vision without feeling rote or "like any other wedding" - it really felt like Us. Anytime we had a question, she had an answer, and assured us throughout the planning process that we didn't have to worry. She knew answers to things we would have never thought to ask as well. On the wedding day, she and her team made sure we felt absolutely taken care of. We even had one guest ask her "can you help manage my life?" when they saw how incredibly she handled everything for our wedding. Needless to say, our wedding day would not have been the same without for Brynn and her team. We can't thank her enough.
Alexandra Turner From First Look Events expertly managed our May 18, 2024 wedding in Boulder, CO. "Managed" doesn't begin to cover all that she did to make the event a triumph. She applied her knowledge and experience to all details – contracts, negotiations, budgets, coordination among vendors, resources, etc. She handled all interactions professionally and competently. (And with good cheer and enthusiasm.) Alexandra is a talented designer, who styled the look and vibe of the event beyond our expectations. She knew of resources and possibilities that created a smooth process with many amazing, creative professionals. Thanks to her, the planning process was enjoyable with minimal stress. We got to enjoy the creative decisions and fun details without the anxiety that is so commonly associated with planning a wedding.
Not only was the planning handled expertly, the wedding weekend was an amazing success thank you in large part to Alexandra and her team. Alexandra managed the entire day so that we arrived to a venue designed perfectly in line with the vision we had all created as a team during the planning. The day itself ran smoothly and on time. While we are sure plenty was going on behind the scenes, Alexandra and the First Look Team were positive and helpful at every turn. The result was a gorgeous atmosphere where we, our families, and all of our guests felt comfortable, happy, and able to enjoy a really great party.
She made it easier at every decision-making point in the process. We really could not have done it without her.
I was so impressed with First Look Events. I first contacted Brynn right after I got engaged and she was wonderful over the phone. I talked to several other wedding planners and Brynn felt like the most professional, experienced, lovely to work with, and the best fit for me. Additionally, Brynn's prices were lower than some of the other vendors but her quality even over the first phone call was so much stronger. Brynn designed and helped with the early planning of my wedding. Brynn's designs were thoughtful, stunning, and perfectly me and my now husband. I really respect her creative genius as she really was able to design my dream wedding! I don't have a great design sense, so I was so impressed with how she was able to take my wants, desires, and life experiences and turn it into something beautiful. Brynn was very responsive to emails and an absolute joy to work with. Brynn helped us stay within budget and was always very honest about how we could cut costs or get a better deal. All of the vendors recommended by Brynn were fantastic to work with and I really appreciated Brynn's honesty for assistance with the selection process. Lindsay then helped with our month-of and day-of planning. Lindsay was so on-top of everything and ensured my day went wonderfully. She is incredibly detail-oriented and made sure that all of our ducks were in a row for our perfect day. Lindsay also was very responsive over email and wonderful to work with. I consider Brynn and Lindsay dear friends of mine now and I am so grateful for them. My mom also adores Brynn and Lindsay and speaks very highly of them. Our wedding went incredibly smoothly and I felt so secure leaving my full trust in Brynn and Lindsay's hands. I seriously would recommend First Look to anyone. Reasonably priced, highly professional, incredibly high quality work, and wonderful women. 10/10!
Brynn was an amazing resource while planning our wedding and she allowed us to enjoy our day! Everything went better than expected and we would recommend Brynn/First Look to anyone looking for wedding or event support.
You would be remiss to plan a wedding in Colorado and not use Brynn Swanson and her team at First Look Events. This team of genius creatives brought my husband and my winter wedding vibes to life in ways that we didn't even know was possible. First Look has incredible relationships with vendors all across Colorado and are able to tap into them to basically provide you with anything you can dream up. I feel confident that the phrase “we can’t do that” is something this incredible company of women has never said.
This is the wedding planner you want to have your back on the day of your wedding. Had you asked me the night of my wedding if anything went wrong, I would have told you no, but little did I know that there were multiple hiccups that happened with the venue day of (to no fault of Brynn’s) that these gals took care of so seamlessly, my guests and I would have never known. Brynn and her team have such a calming presence and do such a good job making sure that you have everything you need on your wedding day. Be it, keeping the flow of events moving to stick to schedule, pinning my wedding dress when I found out minutes before walking down the aisle that one of the tacks had come loose and I was at risk of flashing the entire audience, or making sure that every perfect surprise that we had planned for our guests ran smoothly and that my husband and I had a front row seat for them all with a glass of champagne in hand.
I have now seen Brynn and her team plan multiple of my friends' weddings and every one of them had very distinct and different feeling that perfectly captured the couple getting married. The only thing I would have done differently for my wedding is signed with First Look Events sooner and not wasted time interviewing other wedding planners.
(photos are of our ceremony space that was transformed in minutes into our reception area, my husband and I seeing our ceremony space and giving Brynn the biggest hug for all of her hard work)
I hired a wedding planner because everyone told me I should. I truly didn't appreciate how important it is to have that resource on your team. Brynn, owner of First Look Events came very highly recommended from a good friend. Once hired, Brynn immediately discussed with my daughter and me our vision, likes and dislikes and budget. We had a good idea what we wanted, however Brynn elevated every aspect and provided incredible resources to execute the ceremony and reception. The wedding was in a large hotel ballroom. Brynn and her team created a winter wonderland that was elegant, personal and gave a nod to my daughter and her (now!) husband. During the planning, any issue that came up, Brynn had a creative idea or a fix. The installation, management and execution of every detail the evening of the wedding was over the top. Brynn had a detailed schedule for all vendors (i.e., the hotel, florist, photographer and band). she was in close touch with all of us the day of to ensure everyone was on schedule. During the dinner and reception she managed all of the vendors and checked in with all of us throughout the night. When the reception was over, Brynn and her team packed up everything and delivered items to the bridal suite. When my daughter walked into the suite after the after party, the suite was cleaned up and her gown was hung. I have since learned there were sizable issues in getting all of the decor items up to the ballroom. However Brynn took care of everything, we found out the following day the problem solving/battle she was having with the hotel. She is a pro beyond words. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lindsay from First Look Events was absolutely incredible. When I was searching for my wedding planner, I wanted a "month-of" planner because my venue required it, but I had planned to do just about everything myself. About two months before the big day, Lindsay made sure we connected, and she literally changed the wedding planning experience for me. She took on the tasks that were overwhelming for me, she reassured me that we were in this together, and she helped me make decisions when I was experiencing burnout. I was not the easiest bride (who is?), but Lindsay advocated for my needs with vendors and helped me find humor in the guests who weren't invited but still attended ;) Lindsay is basically a wedding planner, a florist, a therapist, and a gatekeeper all at once.
Hear me when I say that out of everything we spent money on for our entire wedding, having Lindsay as my wedding planner was the best and more important money I ever spent. I cannot recommend Lindsay and First Look Events enough, fr!
Alexandra and Brynn were absolute lifesavers! I came in without much of a vision for our wedding. I was clueless about design aspects in every direction. I told them to go for it on design choices, and they truly delivered! We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding and every single guest was truly in awe! The day of, I did not worry about a thing because they were there every step of the way! My mom continues to rave about Alexandra every time we speak. We were incredibly lucky to have her! I absolutely could not have survived without both Brynn and Alexandra. Thank you SO much again!
Cannot put into words how thankful we were to have Brynn & First Look Events as part of our wedding. We were fortunate enough to start working with Brynn over a year before our wedding and we are sooo happy we did. She knew us like family and had our likes/dislikes in mind throughout the entire planning process and planned our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. She let us schedule as many meetings/calls as we needed and answered every text we sent her within the day. She recommended a list of vendors to us for each aspect of the wedding and it was so helpful having a shorter list to choose from especially since there are so many out there these days. We also couldn’t be happier with the vendors she suggested. Brynn and are team are so creative and came up with so many thoughtful and unique ideas that we would have never thought of on our own. Everyone told us to be ready for something to go wrong day of and when I say absolutely nothing went wrong that day it is 100% because of Brynn and the First Look team. Could not recommend using First Look Events more.
I'm fairly certain Brynn is a magician. Or a wizard. Most likely both! There was no detail left untouched when it came to curating our perfect day. Brynn handled every step of the planning process with grace, professionalism, an immaculate sense of attention to detail, and more importantly she made us feel like she was our friend who had our best interest in mind every step of the way. I can be a control freak and she allowed me to guide things when I wanted, but she also took the reins when I needed her direction. She always had a plan or a unique, creative idea to bring to the table if we ever ran into a roadblock. The wedding day was absolutely perfect and she brought our entire vision to life, adding in special thoughtful surprises for us that really took the whole day to the next level. Any curve ball that was thrown Brynn's way she handled with ease, sometimes even behind the scenes because she didn't want to disrupt us or cause any stress. She helped put together the most rock star team of vendors who all absolutely crushed their role in our perfect day. I can't say enough things about this incredible woman, planner, visionary, and now friend! If you do anything for your wedding, hire Brynn!!!!
There really are know words to express much we appreciate Brynn and First Look Events.. One always wonders “Do I really need a wedding planner?” The answer is yes, yes you do. The attention to every little detail certainly would have been missed by anyone else. That being said, when Brynn and her team really went into action was when issues arose. Most times we weren’t even aware of “situations” as they quietly took care of everything behind the scenes. However if we did know of something it was impressive to watch Brynn take care of business. Her work and reputation commands respect from every vendor we dealt with. If we were working with First Look Events people went out of their way to make sure things were done right. Cannot recommend enough!
The best decision I made for my wedding was hiring First Look Events! I have known Brynn for a few years so I was excited that she was going to be planning my wedding. She was very involved in the entire process and made the whole experience very smooth and fun! She really cared about my husband and I as a couple and wanted to really personalize this process for us. She helped us select each vendor for our style and made sure she executed the vision that she and I created together. The week of the wedding we had an issue with a vendor saying they could not follow through with their contract. Brynn was able to make sure I remained calm and had no stress while behind the scenes she was working on coming up with a solution. Within a 24-hour period of hearing the other company bailed, she came up with a solution that ended up being even better than the original plan. We could not have been in better hands. Guests are still calling us saying how perfect our wedding was and how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Brynn and First Look- thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day a dream come true.
Lindsay at First Look Events is the BEST! She is more than helpful and will go the extra mile! She is professional and attentive to every detail! My daughter got married in Vail, CO while I live in Georgia, and my daughter lives in Tennessee. Lindsay made it happen! It was a fabulous experience! She is 11 out of 10!

I worked with First Look Events’ Lindsay as my “month-of coordinator” (she was there to help way more than just a month tho). We had the most amazing, seamless wedding. We consider Lindsay a friend now. She thought of everything and we fully trusted her and she delivered. Plus, we were from out of state planning a destination wedding in Colorado. 10/10 recommend!
We love Brynn! She helped us every step of the way. Brynn was instrumental in helping us plan our wedding. She took care of everything, from selecting vendors to ensuring we got the best prices. Thanks to her, we were able to relax and enjoy the entire process. On the actual wedding day, Brynn had everything planned out to the last detail, and she made sure everything went smoothly. We highly recommend her services for anyone looking for help with their wedding planning needs. We look forward to working with Brynn again for other events in the future. Thank you for everything, Brynn!
Trying to find the correct word to express how incredible First Look Events is more challenging than I would have thought. Exceptional, may be the only one that comes close to expressing the time, dedication and professionalism Alexandra showed my daughter, myself and every guest. Alexandra went above and beyond to be sure that every detail was exactly the way my daughter had dreamed for her special day. During our initial call, Brynn, suggested Mountain Crust for our catering needs and our guests are still raving. Every detail from the venue to the send off was pure perfection. If you are looking for a wedding day where every possible need was thought of and anticipated look no further than First Look and request Alexandra! Alexandra, thank you for making Delaney and TJ’s day more than they could have ever dreamed and the party afterward one that is core memory for everyone! You are absolutely outstanding and Paul and I are grateful! ~Alison Marien
Not only was Brynn was super knowledgeable throughout the planning process but she was very understanding and willing to work with my type A communication style. We had a few incidents on the day of that she took care of right away and flawlessly, so much so that I didn't even know they happened until afterwards! We had a chaotic family event happen towards the end of the reception (understatement of the year) and she was present and able to handle it with grace. I can't recommend First Look enough!
Brynn is an incredible wedding planner and made our dream wedding a reality that we will remember for a lifetime! We worked with Brynn for 9 months to plan our wedding at Bella Vista Estate in Steamboat Springs, CO. When we started the wedding planning process, I interviewed 5+ wedding planners and Brynn really stood out from the rest because of her vast experience planning weddings across CO, incredible design eye to make our wedding cohesive and memorable, and most importantly I genuinely enjoy spending time with Brynn.
Brynn helped us build the most incredible vendor team for our wedding - they all went above and beyond to make our day feel like "us". We originally planned to do an outdoor reception given the beautiful views at our venue. However, mother nature had other plans - the week before our wedding the weather forecast was looking grim (cold, rain, and thunder). The Wednesday before our wedding, we made the call to move our reception into a tent. Brynn was literally a life saver and made our Plan B even better than the original Plan A! She helped us change our rentals and worked with our flower vendor (Lori from Statice Florals) to make the tent absolutely gorgeous! I was so stressed about the weather that I completely trusted Brynn and Lori to make the magic happen in the tent. They delivered beyond our wildest dreams - adding gorgeous greenery/drapery to the ceiling and creating the chicest lounge set!
The day of our wedding Brynn and the team took care of every detail so that we could be completely present and soak in our wedding day. Against all odds, right before the ceremony the weather turned beautiful, and we had the most magical ceremony and cocktail hour outside followed by a gorgeous, tented reception. We could not be happier about how our wedding turned out and it is all thanks to Brynn and team! We will forever be grateful to Brynn for making our wedding such a dream and cannot recommend her enough for any of your special occasions. Thanks Brynn!! Megan & Dan
Brynn was our wedding planner and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us plan, ease my anxieties, answer all my questions, and make all our visions come to life! She was there for our field day welcome party and our wedding day and both went so smooth. Most importantly, my husband and I had a blast! Brynn and her team took care of everything behind the scenes, ensured we were fed and had drinks when we wanted them, and took care of our guests. I really can’t imagine our wedding weekend without her!!
We worked with Lindsay for our wedding in July 2022 at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO and she was incredible.
My husband and I are from CT, so we weren't anywhere near our venue. I knew I NEEDED to work with someone who was on top of their game to say the least.
I'm positive that I would have had a nervous breakdown at the wedding if I didn't have Lindsay. She's the only reason I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding, even with the things that went wrong with our catering/design company, because I knew she genuinely had our backs and would do anything or step in anywhere to make sure we had the best time possible.
After the wedding my husband and I talked to each other, our families, and Lindsay about how amazing she was at the wedding (and leading up to it as well).
To sum things up in one brief quote, we were recapping with my parents the next day, and my mom said "Lindsay was the best part of that wedding". (I'd like to think the fact that her only daughter got married was a top moment for her as well, but who knows haha)
All in all - she's a true gem, and insanely good at what she does.
If you want a special, creative, and truly unique wedding, look no further than Brynn and her team at First Look! Brynn was a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process. She had a variety of vendor recommendations but was also open to working with any vendors that we found independently. She brought in unique and fun ideas that we never would have come up with ourselves but were still reflective of who we are as a couple and what we & and our family wanted for the wedding day. Despite the multiple vendors, she coordinated them seamlessly so that our wedding day went off without a hitch. Highly recommend Brynn and First Look!!
Brynn and her team at First Look are worth their weight in Gold! As this was our first and only daughter, we had never planned a wedding before. I was not prepared for the value she added to every step of the wedding. She worked so incredibly well with our daughter-they were a true team. The wedding process was so much more relaxing knowing that she was handling contracts and details, that popped up. She would have stuff handled before it was even considered a stressor. The day of the wedding was truly a day, we all enjoyed because of Brynn and her team. They were everywhere and on everything! There was nothing she wouldn’t do for us, and we are so grateful to have been lucky enough to have Brynn running the show. Thanks Brynn!
Brynn and the First Look team are truly incredible. From the beginning of the process, Brynn was invested in us as a couple and what we prioritized about our wedding. She listened and took our ideas and wants and made them even better than we could've thought! Brynn is the perfect mix of creative and detail-oriented, which was vital to this process. She has a large network of trusted vendors that LOVE working with her and were amazing. Most of our vendors made comments to us about what good hands we were in with Brynn, showing how well-respected she is in the industry.
Leading up to our big day Brynn was constantly available for any last-minute questions and ideas. During our wedding weekend, Brynn was present and so organized while coordinating many different moving pieces.
Our whole process was 10/10 Because of Brynn, I was able to truly enjoy the wedding planning process without stress. She is nothing short of a miracle worker and we love her!! I have recommended her to all my recently engaged friends.
From the start to finish of our planning process, Petra was immensely helpful and supportive! Her expert knowledge of Colorado wedding vendors made planning our dream wedding easy and stress-free. She helped us and our vendors stay organized by creating a custom checklist and wedding day timeline. On our wedding day, she was extremely professional and supportive. Knowing that she had everything under control helped us be able to relax and enjoy our wedding day! Multiple family members and guests told us how impressed they were by her flawless coordination of our wedding. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing support with planning and/or coordination!
10/10 recommend Brynn. Seriously the best wedding planner EVER. She has made this entire wedding planning easy and flawless. Brynn listened to all my needs and wants. Day of the wedding went perfect and she made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. HIRE BRYNN, you will not regret it!
First Look Events was irreplacable during our wedding weekend. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Brynn helped in so many ways including reccomending venders, helping with selections, timeline, giving advice, setting up and so much more. We had a four day destination wedding event in Steamboat which involved a lot of logistics with venders. She was apart of both the welcome event with 120 guests and the wedding day. I did not have to lift a finger either day which allowed me to truly immerse myself in the wedding celebration. While planning we did have a few unforseen events which were significant, such as our transportation canceling on us less than a month out. Right when we were about to completely panic we reached out to Brynn at 11 pm and she had a solution by 9 am the next morning! Her transportation connection ended up being better than our original one! A wedding is a special celebration. Take time connecting with your vendors to ensure you are surrounded by people you can trust and rely on. If you choose to work with First Look Events they will make your wedding truly everything you hoped it would be and likely so much more!
Look no further- Brynn is the best wedding planner in Colorado (if not on planet Earth). Even writing this review I get emotional just thinking about all she did for us during our planning and wedding day. Brynn helped me transform my thoughts and feelings about how I envisioned my wedding into a tangible, real event. She was supportive, communicative, and my biggest advocate throughout the process. Her design eye is second to none- she is creative and thoughtful and helped direct me on ideas without ever feeling pushy. I always felt like she was really listening to me, and I appreciated that she was honest with me even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear (and she was always right). She really cared about us as people and making our wedding better than we could dream, and we felt that. We took her advice on almost every vendor recommendation and ended up with a team of vendors that exceeded all expectations. During our wedding day she was always there for us without being overbearing or in the way. It was like magic, every time I needed her she was there. Every time I needed a drink she was there. Every time I needed a snack she was there. She was thoughtful with our families and checking in with them as well. By the end of it all, Brynn felt like a friend, and I genuinely miss talking to her so frequently. I trust her implicitly, and you should too! You will not regret booking her!!!
Brynn and her team were incredible - super easy to work with and made all my wedding dreams come true! I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but she helped along the way to send ideas, quotes, and facilitate everything with vendors. All I had to do was say yes or no!
Brynn is an absolute gem! We had some very unique circumstances surrounding our day and she handled everything with grace and energy and love that blew us away!
At every turn she was available, attentive and immersed in our day. From sneaking us drinks and appetizers during pictures to shepherding us around throughout the night, we knew that she a handle on everything as were able to be fully present with each other and our guests and not worry if we were sticking to the timeline for the day.
We felt like Brynn (& Jackie!!) truly cared about us as people and appreciated that they shared in our tears, laughs and everything in between.
This was the most magical day of our lives and Brynn made everything perfect. She is quick on her feet, overflows with beautiful ideas and has a massive heart -- if you don't hire her, you will regret it forever!
I literally couldn't have done this without Brynn! I am not a very decisive person, and she made it very easy for me by giving me a few options for each vendor rather than the 100s that are out there. Every detail at the wedding was perfect and absolutely stunning. She took my initial ideas and really made them come to life, in a truly amazing way.
We had a record breaking heat wave at our wedding, and she worked hard to secure some air conditioners for our tent, which definitely saved the day. This was the 5th wedding I have attended that she has been the planner for, so I never had a second thought in hiring her for my wedding. I have been in awe at every single wedding and how well they have represented each couple individually. She is extremely communicative and was available for any questions or crises that I had (which thanks to her there weren't many!)
11/10 would recommend her to anyone!
First look events did an amazing job with coordinating our wedding. Brynn was first point of contact back in 2019 for our original 2020 wedding date. With two postponements, it was extremely stressful as the bride and Brynn relieved those feelings. For the 2022 date, Petra became our day of planner and she was absolutely perfect. She worked hard the months leading up to reach out to vendors to make sure everything went according to plan. On the day of the wedding, I noticed her attentiveness and hard work to make sure everything ran smoothly. So grateful for the first look team that made the wedding day perfect.
Brynn and her team were amazing when she did my sister's wedding, and I knew that she was who I wanted to work with on my own wedding 10 year later. Brynn helped us navigate through COVID-19 restrictions and was always uplifting and positive about the changes we were dealing with. More than that, Brynn never ceases to amaze me in the way she can take a vision and run with it. Our wedding was a true dream come true, and it would not have been possible without First Look Events.
Brynn and her team planned my son and now daughter in law’s wedding this past Fall. I cannot even begin to describe how perfect everything was…and I’m a crazy perfectionist/control freak! Brynn was the consummate professional throughout the entire process…friendly and warm yet in complete control of every gorgeous detail. I felt like we were in the best possible hands and could just relax and enjoy the wedding with our friends and family. I would highly recommend Brynn and her team to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will work incredibly hard to give you the perfect day/night of your dreams!
I don't even know where to begin on how amazing Brynn and her team were for our wedding day and throughout the entire planning process! My husband and I were engaged in 2020, and also got pregnant during that time, so we had so many life changes happening all at the same time . Brynn was there for us every step of the way and executed our wedding day perfectly. People kept asking us "Aren't you sooo stressed planning a wedding" and my husband and I would just both say, "no, we have Brynn!" She made wedding planning FUN and I always knew I could trust her. She picked out the perfect vendors for us, was always there if we had concerns around safety and covid, and the day of the wedding was absolute perfection! I had multiple people tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to - and I have First Look Events and Brynn to thank for every compliment! Brynn had a solution for every speed bump we came across, was always three steps ahead, and also so fun to work with. If you are planning a wedding, don't think twice about using First Look Events. They were a dream to work with and made out wedding day so magical.
I randomly found First Look Events and I'm so lucky I did! If you're reading this - HIRE Brynn and her team! They were an absolute joy to work with throughout our entire wedding process (even when Covid presented obstacles we weren't prepared for) and brought our vision to life for the perfect wedding weekend that was beyond anything we could have hoped for. From the very beginning, Brynn was organized and kept us on track. She was always two steps ahead, always having answers to our questions and solutions to any obstacles before we even asked - which was a feat navigating unseen changes during Covid. She is responsive, reliable, and an amazing source for anything wedding related. Brynn's also did a beautiful job designing our wedding. Her creativity is incredible! I wanted a traditional but unique wedding and was not great at articulating a focused vision but Brynn nailed it and went above and beyond in bringing our mountain speakeasy theme to life. She did this by creating amazing recommendations and ensuring our vendors understood it as well (even when there were roadblocks from vendors regarding things they were capable of, if it was important to my husband or myself, Brynn somehow made it happen - thank you for the grand exit I always dreamt of!). Speaking of vendors, Brynn has an extensive and incredible list of vendors she has worked with and has strong relationships with. We also struggled with music (both acoustic for the ceremony and DJ for the reception) and with Brynn's help, we had the most beautiful ceremony music and awesome dance party. Day-of coordination was seamless, I barely noticed the time at any point. Brynn and her team kept the whole event moving while having fun with the wedding party along the way. We even forgot a steamer for my dress and of course - Brynn had one! After planning a wedding, I've learned that this doesn’t just happen but rather takes months and months of preparation and takes lots of organization and grace for the day of. Brynn's passion, experience, and knowledge sets her apart. Brynn, we will be forever grateful for your hard work in sending us into our marriage in the best way possible!
We cannot say enough good things about Brynn, Ashley, and the First Look team. They were the absolute best partners from the day we had our initial kickoff call. From venue feedback, floral recommendations, ceremony planning, and the (many many) little pieces of advice -- to all the late night fielding of questions in the weeks leading up to the wedding -- to making the day of an absolute DREAM -- we will be endlessly grateful for their guidance, support, and friendship throughout the entire planning process. Brynn quickly understood the vibe we were going for, and created the most magical vision, which entirely came to life (and blew us away). On our wedding day, Ashley had the most uplifting energy, and our family and friends still cannot stop raving about how perfectly she handled our large wedding party. We never felt stressed, and we have Brynn and Ashley's exceptional planning to credit. Endless thanks to the whole First Look team!
Petra took care of us from the get-go. She has a great sense of style, and she incorporated all the elements we had hoped for. It looked amazing. On the day-of, she and Brynn came prepared with everything we could possibly need and made sure it went off without a hitch. The wedding was an unqualified success, with everyone raving about what a fun party it was and how personal the day felt.
We loved working with Alex & the First Look team for the month-of coordination for our wedding. In the months leading up to our wedding, we felt extremely supported throughout the vendor selection process. Our wedding venue was an outdoor blank canvas, which means that we had lots of vendors for everything from catering to bathrooms to a generator. Alex shared wonderful vendor recommendations as well as helpful insights and things to consider/ think about.
On the actual wedding weekend, Alex had such a friendly and calming presence! She ran the event seamlessly and helped navigate the unexpected (like a sick officiant). We can’t thank her enough for coordinating and being part of such a special day!
10/10 would recommend First Look Events! the 5 star reviews from every reviewer is a perfect reflection of their service. We specifically worked with Ashley Leland for our "day of planner". She did sooo much more than just the day of. She sent recomendations, scheduled a Zoom meeting early on, came with to our final walk through and simply made our day perfect. Everything ran smoothly and was everything we could have dreamed of. She is so kind, polite, does everything you want/need her to, goes above and beyond and is all around a fun person to be around. She made the process so easy for me! I have nothing but positive things to say about FLE and Ashley. Thank you again for making our wedding day perfect!
I randomly happened upon the First Look Events website and I’m so thankful I did! Brynn guided us through 2 years of wedding planning and helped us navigate postponing our wedding due to the pandemic. I don’t have the words to describe how helpful she was during the whole process. Not only did she make our lives easier when it came to dealing with vendors and contracts, but she also beautifully executed our vision for our wedding. Right when we began planning, we felt confident that Brynn would be able to turn our thoughts into reality. We had met with a few other planners who didn’t quite understand the vision for our big Indian wedding, but Brynn knew exactly what we were looking for. Her style is elegant and sophisticated with a bit of Colorado flair, she’s knowledgeable and flexible, and she expertly coordinated our multi-day Indian wedding. I love that she took our thoughts and added her own style and ideas to create an end product that was absolutely stunning. She’s also just a gem to work with!
Jay, my family and I could not have been more pleased with Brynn, First Look Events and the outcome of our beautiful wedding in Beaver Creek. She helped us plan and organize everything from three different time zones and in the middle of a pandemic in the most positive and graceful manner. We felt so cared for and relaxed the week of the wedding and want to thank her for the most memorable and special weekend of our lives. We highly recommend Brynn for anyone and everyone getting married!!!
Brynn was always available & attentive, had rich connections in the market and helped us pull of a perfect wedding at Beano's Cabin. Her attention to detail and background work in advance and on the day of the wedding made for what appeared to be a perfect day. We could not have asked for a more attentive and professional Wedding Coordinator.
Brynn and First Look Events were absolute saviors as guides and educators for our wedding. Because of Brynn’s knowledge and hustle, we had a beautiful, fun, memorable wedding that fit our budget and needs. Brynn connected us with the other vendors we needed, she worked well with the vendors we brought, and she really just gave us the confidence in knowing that everything was being taken care of, and let us know what was on our plate to do, and when to do it.
Sure enough, there were some massive curveballs that fate had thrown us on the day of the wedding, and Brynn turned it into an incredible experience! My mom had broken her ankle during a hike on the morning of the wedding, but once she was taken care of, Brynn had communicated with her and my aunt, and had arranged for a surprise entrance to the wedding! Honestly, a magical turn of events that Brynn played a big part in.
I can’t imagine the amount of stress we’d have dealt with if not for Brynn being there and doing a wonderful job and leaving only positive memories for us. Bravo, Brynn! Thank you SO much!
Lindsay V. made my dreams come true and more. If you are looking for a planner don’t bother looking anywhere else because she is beyond talented, kind, professional and just unbelievably good at her job. I actually am speechless with what she was able to do with our wedding, not to mention it was our postponed wedding so there were details from over a year ago that she problem solved. She also problem solved a hail and rain filled wedding as well. Did I mention she killed a rattle snake that my mother in law almost stepped on during our practice walk because she didn’t want anyone else to see it?! Hire her. She’s perfect for your wedding planning.
Brynn and her team at First Look Events are undeniably amazing! My husband and I have been lucky enough to attend many weddings that Brynn has produced, and every single one has been magical. Brynn has an amazing way of designing weddings that are on-trend, but effortlessly original.
Brynn recently did our wedding in Steamboat Springs. She took time to get to know us, listen to our vision and vibe, and went above and beyond with the execution. We danced and laughed through the day and night while Brynn and her team dealt with any last-minute, unavoidable "hiccups". She is so good at what she does, we were oblivious to said "hiccups". That is a true testament to an amazing wedding planner.
Brynn is highly respected and connected in the wedding industry in Colorado. She has the ability to put together a cohesive team of vendors that are experienced, easy to work with, and professional.
Brynn and her team are top-notch! I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a detail-oriented, professional, and talented team to put on the wedding of their dreams.
Brynn’s entire team is so wonderful to work with! Our planner was Ashley, who was INCREDIBLE start to finish. She helped us design our wedding on Pinterest, she referred us to the vendors who could make some of those Pinterest dreams come true, and she was willing to answer any and all questions we had throughout the entire planning process. Come month-of, she completely took the reins which was such a relief. She didn’t miss a thing! Then, day-of was absolute magic!!! We didn’t have to stress or worry about a thing, we got to fully enjoy our day and party the night away!!! Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with; she was cheerful, upbeat, organized, and so professional! Thank you for everything, First Look Events!!!
As of right now, I am still processing how it was possible for all of my wedding weekend dreams to come true. I know the whole reason our celebration ran so beautifully, smoothly, and creatively was thanks to Brynn at First Look Events. She was my cheerleader, organizer, and planner-extraordinaire for over a year before our wedding day. I can say from the bottom of my heart that Brynn is an expert at what she does - and what she demonstrates in skill is only surpassed by her passion and kindness. We loved working with Brynn. Even my husband! Who wasn’t exactly sold on the idea of throwing a big wedding in the first place. Our wedding turned out to be a reflection of us, our style, & our love story. Brynn knows this industry inside and out. She has wonderful relationships with vendors & communicated our wedding details/timeline with grace and specificity. We just love her!! Hire her now!! It will be the best decision you’ll ever make - other than marrying your soul mate :) Thank you, thank you, thank you, First Look Events.
Hiring Brynn to plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we have ever made! She alleviated ALL of the stress that comes with wedding planning, and captured our vision for our wedding perfectly. She had all the answers to questions that we had never even considered, and created the most detailed timeline, ensuring everything went according to plan. I can’t stress enough how amazing it was working with her. I’ve lost count of how many times my wife and I have said “can you imagine what our wedding would have been like without Brynn?” If she is available for your wedding date, do not hesitate, do not look anywhere else, book her and her team!
