McArthur Weddings & Events

We loved working with McArthur Wedding and Events for our wedding at Juniper Mountain House. Their services and expertise were apparent and they took so much more off our plates than we expected! For the price we paid, we felt like we got a fantastic service and were super happy with the results, attn to detail and service the team provided.

Laura was the designated planner for our wedding at Juniper Mountain House in Evergreen, CO and we're so happy we had the chance to work with her! Laura asked the right questions to ensure our day was exactly what we had envisioned. Her coordination with vendors in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding allowed me and my husband to focus on ourselves and our guests. On the day of the wedding we both felt so relaxed and had a blast at our wedding knowing all of the details and coordination were being taken care of! The entire wedding flowed so nicely and was truly the best day of our lives.

McArthur Weddings and Events was recommended to us by our venue and made our wedding day absolutely perfect! McArthur Weddings and Events was very easy to communicate with, highly professional, and the friendliest bunch to have included in your wedding. They took all of the headache out of wedding planning and allowed us to simply be guests at our wedding, instead of having to host our own event. Our lead planner Heli was an absolute rockstar!! Her and her assistant Mollie thought of everything down to the smallest details and were expertly prepared to make sure our day ran smoothly. We couldn't recommend them more!!

We could not recommend Laura enough! She took care of every detail for our wedding, making it easy to plan and seamless to execute. She was great at finding vendors that fit what we were looking for and our budget. She was available throughout the process to answer questions and guide us through step-by-step. As a result, we had nearly NO STRESS about the wedding. She went above and beyond our expectations as a wedding planner.

We learned of McArthur Weddings & Events when we toured Juniper Mountain House to see if we wanted to book our wedding there. In the end we booked the Evergreen Lake House instead, but ran into Laura McCasland at the Lake House Wedding showcase and felt an instant connection with her. Laura is fantastic! We cannot say enough good things about how she managed our wedding with professionalism, enthusiasm, and detailed organization. We highly recommend her and her team if you are looking for a wedding planner. We were able to totally relax on our wedding day because we knew Laura had it all under control.

Working with McArthur Weddings & Events for our wedding was amazing from start to finish. Laura and Heli guided my husband and I through every step of the planning process with so much attention to detail. I'm terrible at planning but with their help, everything was entirely manageable and seamless. On the day of our wedding, I had zero stress because of them. Laura and Heli both were also so sweet, warm, and just fun to have around. Many of my family members commented about how kind and helpful they were. Not only did Laura and Heli plan and coordinate our wedding day, but they were also incredibly generous on the day of. For example, Laura worked on cleaning a mud stain off my dress after the ceremony and Heli helped me change shoes on the trail to and from the ceremony site at Juniper Mountain House. I feel very grateful to have worked with them and would recommend McArthur Weddings & Events to anyone who wants help planning their big day!

Laura is an absolute rock star planner! She thought of every detail for our wedding and was so calm and reliable. Her communication was excellent and she made the planning process so fun! Her and Megan made our day perfect and our guests had nothing but compliments and fun! As a bride, I didn’t have a single stress the week of the wedding because I knew Laura had everything under control.

McArthur services were part of our contract with Juniper Mountain House. The Google drive they share with you is indispensable to planning your wedding. It kept us on track in terms of timeline, guest list, vendor information, etc. Three months before the wedding, we worked with Zoe and we seriously could not have made this wedding happen without her. She handled almost off the logistics from that point on. From the start, Zoe was warm, professional and organized. She was able to take our ideas and run with it. She made the process so easy for us and we are truly so grateful for how smoothly things went on our wedding day!

Zoe was our lead planner for our wedding at North Star Gatherings and I cannot recommend her enough! Our package included three meetings starting 60 days out from our wedding, and day of coordination. Zoe was always quick to respond, answer questions, give recommendations, and keep me organized and on track throughout the planning process. She was a god send day of the wedding- corralling guests, making sure we were hydrated, running my flowers back and forth for photos, keeping us on schedule, and so so many other things behind the scenes. This wasn't a vendor we had originally planned on having, but booked because it was required by our venue, and I'm so thankful we did, because I couldn't have crossed the finish line without Zoe! Another plus was that they do offer some rentals, and Zoe was able to gather decor at our rehearsal to bring to the venue. All things considered, McArthur Weddings and Events is an affordable option for day of coordination and definitely worth budgeting for. 10/10 recommend!

I knew I would be a tough client for any wedding planner - I have worked for over a decade as a Production Coordinator for tv, theater, dance, music and special events, and I am meticulous when it comes to logistics and details. Our beautiful venue Juniper Mountain House is an incredibly unique location, and because of that they smartly partner with McArthur Weddings and Events to be part of their venue fee, getting planner services 60 days out from the wedding. That arrangement was perfect for me since I wanted to plan most of my wedding myself and then be able to pass it off to someone I could trust to execute my vision. When we first met with Laura and Zoe from McArthur, I could tell we were in the best of hands. The documentation alone (including a color coded checklist timeline to keep me on schedule for the planning I did myself) was a work of beauty, and both Laura and Zoe were so easy to work with, offered advice and suggestions about how to best achieve what we were going for, and were absolutely rockstars on the day of. We had a bunch of variables - my 100 lbs sweet but powerful pup was in our ceremony and signing our marriage license, we decided to shuttle all of our guests to Evergreen from Boulder about 45 min away using both party buses and car services at a variety of departure/arrival times, my husband and I wanted to not see each other until I walked down the aisle - which in a small outdoor venue can definitely be a challenge, and in classic Colorado summer fashion we got a big rainstorm mid-ceremony. But absolutely everything went perfectly! When it started raining, Laura and Zoe moved our lounge furniture to be spread out under the various covered spaces and were on hand with clear umbrellas (one of my favorite photos is of us in the woods right after the ceremony having a moment under the umbrella in the rain). They coordinated with my dog sitter in picking up my beast of a pup and getting him and all of his things home safely so I could be worry free. My crazy transportation plan all happened and I heard nothing about it, which is the ideal. I truly can’t thing of one thing I would go back and change, and that was in huge part to the McArthur - including their day of champ assistant Molly! We’ll be forever grateful that the McArthur team gave us our dream day!

We worked with McArthur this past spring to pull off our 50-person wedding in Evergreen, CO. Laura was a highlight of our wedding planning experience. From our one-on-one calls to our walk throughs and all the way to our wedding day, Laura's professionalism and help made wedding planning easy. The resources, checklists, and timelines she provided helped us tremendously throughout the planning process. She was always quick to answer questions and did a great job of communicating with us. Our wedding day came with an unexpected snow storm resulting in last-minute changes to our floorplan. We could have easily gotten overwhelmed with all of those details but Laura handled everything and our wedding turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. We highly recommend Laura and the McArthur team!

We can't say enough good things about McArthur Weddings & Events! Zoe was our lead planner for our wedding at Juniper Mountain House and Laura assisted her. They were both incredible at giving us honest and helpful input, while still accommodating our vision. Beginning months out, Zoe met with us via Zoom multiple times and was in constant communication through email. She helped make sure we were on track and had everything we needed. McArthur also supplied us with planning tools that were essential in our planning process. On the weekend of, Zoe made sure everything went as planned and no detail was overlooked. She executed our vision perfectly, even with unexpected weather and last minute changes to the setting in which we had our ceremony. Zoe, Laura, and the other vendors were able to flip our ceremony setting to the reception setting smoothly and efficiently. We truly did not worry about a single thing and got to be fully present on our wedding day. We would highly recommend McArthur Weddings to anybody who is getting married. Thank you Zoe and Laura!!!

Laura went above and beyond to make everything work for us! We highly recommend her. So friendly and professional from day one. When we had an issue with our wedding cake, Laura immediately found a solution without needing to alert myself and my husband. Thank you Laura!!

I have to start off by saying - Laura is the best. Working with her came as part of our contract with our wedding venue, and what a blessing that was. My wife and I live in Missouri but we got marred in Evergreen, CO. I truly don’t think we could have done it without Laura. She made every step of the process so easy and accessible. My wife and I are both anxious individuals and maybe not the most organized of people - Laura helped ease all our anxieties and made sure we had all our details together before our big day. I don’t think I can recommend working with Laura enough. We love her, our guests loved her, and we feel like we walked away with a new friend.

If you are looking for a wedding/ event planner, hiring Laura and the McArthur Wedding and Events team should be step one. It will be the best decision you make. Laura is the woman! From start to finish, Laura was professional, responsive, and organized. Most of all, she was calm, kind and excellent at her job. She rolled with any punches thrown her way with grace and a can-do attitude. For example, we had day-of signage that was delivered to a wrong address. She was able to find and retrieve it from the wrong porch in another neighborhood. Since I was not able to make an extra trip out to Colorado for linens and rentals, Laura facilitated all of this, even though it wasn’t originally part of her responsibilities. Laura helped us plan our wedding in 4 months. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. Our minds were blown! Our wedding was down-right gorgeous! She helped bring together our abstract ideas and put all of the pieces together beautifully. Our guests raved about how beautifully things came together and how much fun they had. My family and wedding party had so many great things to say about Laura, her smile, and her ability to stay calm, focused and organized in the wedding whirlwind. We are so glad we landed in Laura's hands. You will be too! We are forever grateful for Laura and the McArthur team for all of their hard work and efforts to make our wedding day a great success.

Absolutely the best decision we made, to hire McArthur planners for our wedding. We got them on board fairly late into the process, they picked up what we already had planned and ran with it. They made it effortless to wrap up all the loose ends, even thinking of several things we'd forgotten about. Day-of coordination is a huge weight off our minds and the event went smooth as can be. Thanks!

We are SO glad we had Laura for our wedding in October. She made so many decisions throughout the day that I didn't even think about that made our day run seamless. Laura and her assisstant did everything from set up to washing dishes at the end of the night. We couldn't have done it without them!

We don’t even know where to start because we honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura. We were lucky enough to work with Laura for our September wedding in Buena Vista, and it could not have been more perfect. Laura was one of the first vendors we met and knew immediately we would be in good hands. She has a relaxed energy that put us at ease (wedding planning can be overwhelming at times!) and was there to support us in whatever we needed getting to our wedding day. One of the best things about Laura is how much she cares. She wants your day to be everything you hoped for just as much as you do. Before our wedding, Laura was incredibly helpful in making sure everything was what we envisioned and handling all final details as we got closer. She even went as far as to track down the perfect plates for our table settings when we thought we’d have to settle on something we weren’t totally in love with. Laura made it happen. Not to mention our actual wedding day! It was perfect in every way and we know that’s largely because of Laura. She did just about everything possible to ensure the day was magical. You know you are truly grateful for your wedding vendors when you’re a little sad it’s over because you don’t have a reason to check in with them constantly. We feel that way about Laura! If you are searching for a wedding coordinator who is beyond professional and spectacular at what they do to make your wedding a dream, Laura is the only choice.

Zoe was our wedding planner for our wedding at Juniper Mountain House on 9.10 (they contract with McArthur Weddings & Events and this was included in our wedding package). We originally met with Laura, who gave us access to an incredible shared Google drive for our wedding so we could start planning, see wedding advice, get recommendations for vendors, and have everything organized in one place (I am obsessed with organizational tools, so this was amazing for me). This summer, we started working with Zoe as our lead planner. I cannot say enough great things about Zoe (and I also want to be friends with her). Zoe is extremely organized, professional, and honestly just fun to be around. She made the two months leading up to our wedding actually enjoyable as she took over all of our contracts and coordinated with our vendors to ensure our day would go smoothly, which it did. Every meeting with Zoe was productive, and I felt like she really heard us and took the vision we had for our wedding to heart. I cannot express what a relief it was to show up at our venue and to see almost the entire reception area ready to go - I saw Zoe and her assistant Mollie folding napkins, setting up tables, moving flowers, herding our people, and in general just doing everything that needed to be done to make sure everything was perfect. Honestly, I'm sure I don't even know everything they did because they made it happen so surreptitiously. I was able to fully detach from planning mode and really be present for our wedding, and that's all thanks to Zoe and the team at McArthur. We are so appreciative of everyone at this company, especially Zoe & Mollie, for all of their hard work. You all are truly amazing at what you do!

I had Laura McCasland as a wedding planner included in the Juniper Mountain House venue wedding package. I wasn’t sure I would need a wedding planner because I used Zola for the majority of the wedding planning. However the couple months leading up to the wedding and the wedding day itself I was so glad to have Laura as additional help. She’s so organized and knowledgeable with weddings. She had everything sorted out for us in Google Drive which made it so easy for us. She was quick to respond and always prepared to handle anything we threw her way. The day of the wedding she was there for me and so supportive, especially walking up to the ceremony when I was freaking out. Everything went so smoothly so by the time I was at the alter I was able to relax and just enjoy my day. She was there throughout the whole wedding, ready to do whatever was needed to make the day perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner and am so glad we had Laura. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone planning their big day.

Where do I even start with Laura and her team? Choosing Juniper Mountain House as our venue was so special to us but the fact that Laura was a part of the package made our experience absolutely perfect. The recommendations she made for vendors from food to flowers and everything in between made booking great vendor teams so easy. She is SO detail oriented and I felt 💯 confident going into our day that it would be perfect (or as close as possible). I would highly highly recommend Laura and anyone from her team!!!! She thought if everything and kept me sane. Thanks Laura and McArthur team!

McArthur Weddings & Events is amazing!!!!! Truly go above and beyond throughout the entire planning process up until day of. THANK YOU Zoe & the rest of the wonderful McArthur team!

Wow!! McArthur Wedding&Events was incredible! We were lucky enough to work with both Laura and Zoe - both are incredible!! They are accommodating, attentive, helpful, kind, etc. etc. They made the planning process so easy. Cannot say enough wonderful things!!

Laura was amazing. I am so grateful for not only the way she handled the logistics, but her calming presence during every step of the wedding process. She made our day so much more enjoyable and took off the burden of coordinating, decorating, and even family management. I so appreciate her warm demeanor and poise during what can be an otherwise stressful experience. Would highly recommend!

Laura was simply the best. She made us feel comfortable and taken care of every step of the way and she was just a joy to talk to / spend time with to boot! We were able to enjoy our special day without having to worry about a thing. If she was ever stressed, we never saw it. Literally whenever I hear of a friend/coworker getting engaged, I'm like.. ya gotta call Laura.

We can’t say enough good things about Laura and her team. From the beginning of working together, Laura helped us think through all the details we probably would never have thought of. She took over all vendor communication 2 months before the wedding and MADE. IT. HAPPEN. Laura coordinated a vendor walk through and while I was taking notes of all the “to-dos”, she very gently turned to me and said, “I’ve got it.” My family walked away from the meeting feeling completely at ease knowing that the wedding would be executed by Laura and her team in a flawless way that required no additional stress for us, our families, or our wedding party/guests. If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator/planner for your wedding, we highly recommend Laura and her team. Because of her we got to enjoy every part of our wedding day stress-free. Spend your money here, because we are forever indebted to McArthur Wedding and Events for executing every detail of our day!

I worked with Laura and Zoe for my wedding and they were so helpful!! They have a ton of helpful organizational documents that they provide right at the start to help you start the planning process, then they set up just enough meetings to help you feel organized and calm before the big day! Then on the day of they help with set up and take-down, and coordination. They were such a big help and my wedding wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without them!

Laura was so helpful to have on our side and help us plan our small mountain elopement in Colorado. We had a last minute issue come up in planning that was out of our control and Laura swept in to save the day. She was also a huge help on the day of the wedding, helping us keep it together and allowing us to relax, knowing that she was on top of everything. She is truly a blessing to have on your side during this whole experience! Thank you Laura!

Laura is absolutely incredible and I would recommend her will be recommending her to my friends and family getting married. My husband and I knew we wanted to do a lot of the up front planning for our wedding, but did not want ourselves, family or bridal party to be stressed setting up decorations or coordinating vendors the day of the wedding. We hired Laura for day of services, but she goes above and beyond and takes over communication with our vendors a month before the wedding. This is something I didn’t know I needed, but I’m so glad that was part of the package. She helped us create a seamless schedule of events for the day of the wedding and made sure all vendors knew where and when they needed to be which helped everything run so smoothly. Laura is very organized and has an eye for design and I had complete trust in her when I handed over decorations that she saw my vision and was going to make the reception space look beautiful—and that she did! My husbands mom lost the back of her earing before being introduced and Laura took off the back of her earing and gave it to my mother-in-law…seems like such a small thing, but it was such a kind gesture and adds to the many reasons why Laura and her team are amazing!

I booked Laura just a few weeks before our wedding 😬 We were having a micro wedding with our closest family and friends. I had spent two years planning the wedding and it seamed silly to me (at the time) to have a coordinator for such a small group. As the wedding was getting closer and I was starting feel the pressure, I decided to reach out and ask her if she was available. I quickly realized I was clueless of what a planner/coordinator did, so she niceley informed me :). If you are planning a wedding in Colorado (big or small), go book her now! Laura is fun, kind, organized, and women of many talents. Laura and Zoe did so much that day making sure everything went off without a hitch. We were amazed by Laura and are beyond grateful to have had her there. Thank you Laura and Zoe for making sure we were able to FULLY enjoy our perfect day!

What a game changer. Laura was an absolute pro. Calm, organized, the one with all the answers! She went above and beyond time after time. She had a perfect balance between handling all of the details while simultaneously ensuring my wife and I didn't lift a finger on our wedding day (which says a lot considering our wedding was at our house). On top of it all, she was an absolute blast to work with. She found her calling, and our wedding benefited from that! I will be recommending her to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Laura coordinated our 350+ person wedding in Denver, and we couldn't have been happier with her help! She is the perfect combination - organized, caring, and experienced. Her wisdom was a help to me in so many ways, and she took such a load off of my plate! My husband often mentioned how thankful he was for her throughout the wedding week and after. She is a gem! You won't be disappointed!!!

People thought I was crazy when I said I wanted a short engagement, but a big wedding. McArthur Weddings & Events was the only reason our dream wedding was made possible. Not only did Laura take care of everything from start to finish, she made the wedding planning process so easy. There were so many moving pieces, and she handled it all calmly and gracefully. Laura is organized, prompt, thoughtful, and professional. My husband and I were able to just be present and soak in everything around us all weekend long because of Laura's harmonious and extensive service. She was the glue that held everything together. Looking back, I can't imagine the Wedding process without her. This investment was more important than my husband and I ever began to realize and I am forever thankful we hired her for our big day!
