Second to saying yes, hiring the Duchess of Denver was the best wedding decision we made! From spending hours truly getting to know us, to having all the right connections, to grac...
efully navigating a weather pivot on our wedding day, Alex surpassed every expectation.
My husband and I knew we wanted to create a unique, beautiful wedding experience that we, our family and friends would cherish and remember. We’d wanted elements of a traditional wedding weekend but one that felt fun and not like every other wedding we’d been to. We also knew that, as a busy engineer and lawyer, we had very little knowledge about what goes into a great wedding and very little time or desire to learn the intricacies of “the perfect wedding.”
Alex asked dozens probing and fun questions to really get to know our visions, desires and quirks. There were so many times when we said things like “we want a dinner the night before, but not a typical rehearsal reception with people standing around at hightop in a bland conference room.”
Alex’s encyclopedic knowledge about James and Rebecca was invaluable when my work got super crazy a few months before the wedding. At one point, I told Alex that I could do big decisions, but the little ones, like choosing ribbon color or envelopes for invitations, were hurting my brain. Alex stepped in and planned everything based on what he knew about us. Alex found us a breathtaking, elegant and fun space in the Penrose Room at the Broadmoor, he coordinated flowers to match my colorful dress, helped pick perfect delicious meal stations that suited a variety of dietary needs, organized the music and stayed on top of the hotel until their 3,000 square foot Parker suite opened up. Alex interviewed and found the best make-up artist, designed hand calligraphed journals for our guests, and created guest bags that with fun and useful things. I could go on and on!
Alex’s management of every detail meant the weekend ran smoothly and everyone was happy! He created a bowling night for our out-of-town guests and wedding party, worked with the hotel make sure family members with friction had rooms far away from each other, stocked our bride and groom suite with snacks and champagne, moved us us through the precise schedule of photos, ceremony and reception, and organized a fun and delicious good-bye brunch. When a surprisingly rainy June turned our outdoor ceremony space into mud pit, Alex pivoted and redesigned a large alcove in the reception space to be a cozy ceremony space.
So many of our friends and family have said that ours was one of the best weddings they’d ever attended. Ok, ok, maybe they have to say that, but in this case, I think it’s probably true! We would recommend Alex to any couple, especially successful professionals who want to create a first class, memorable experience (but might now have the first clue of how do to it).
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Alex and without him our wedding would not have been the same. To use the sports analogy, Alex and his team played all positions in...
cluding head coach, quarterback, offense, defense and special teams and most importantly #1 fan. The wedding planning experience has its highs and lows, and during the lows a call or text with Alex always ended with a sigh of relief knowing how prepared he is and how he can see around the corner for us! But best of all was his ability to understand our vision and create a wedding experience based on our theme ever better than we could have imagined. Alex has all the qualities you want in a wedding planner including exceptional attention to detail, hyper organized and very responsive. He has an incredible workbook that helped us stay organized (and sane). On the wedding day, Alex and his team are superheroes on wedding day and helped orchestrate everything. We are so grateful for everything Alex did to make our day so memorable!
We cannot recommend Duchess of Denver enough as a wedding planner. Alex went above and beyond every step of the way for our wedding. He always had an answer to any question we had,...
had many ideas to make our wedding truly unique to us, responded quickly, transformed our event space to a beautiful reception, visited our venue several times to take measurements and create a layout that was perfect for what we needed, thought ahead on almost every issue or concern there may be with a plan, joined any call or meeting we needed with a vendor, had an extremely comprehensive timeline and checklist, and offered valuable advice and input. Outside of all the preparation, when it came time for the big day, I was truly so grateful to have Alex and his team by my side. Your wedding can be an overwhelming day for many reasons and knowing Duchess of Denver was on top of everything allowed me to breathe so much easier and enjoy the day so much more.
Cannot recommend enough!!
Did I say Exceptional? Alex is truly gifted in his field! He was there with us every step of the way in planning our daughter's destination wedding. HIs gift of detail, organiza...
tion and creativity really shines! He thinks outside of the box to come up with ideas we never would have thought of, many of which we used, and I'm so glad we did! His special touches created a breathtakingly beautiful reception. We are so thankful we used him and you will be too!
Alex is an absolute ROCK STAR. He was our "day-of" coordinator for our wedding, but he did so so much more than day of. He helped us negotiate incredible pricing, tracked down silv...
erware for us that went missing last minute and basically did all of the decorations himself. An entire set of dishes & glasses crashed to the ground & we had no idea until the next day because he kept his cool & got sh*t done. He knew our vision and went above and beyond making it a reality. Additionally, he helped make sure our officiant was ready to rock & roll, and got one of our groomsmen back on track after he had taken a few too many drinks in advance of the ceremony.
I had been on the fence initially about whether a wedding coordinator was worth it - DO IT. Alex is incredible & will make your day perfect.
My wedding will be in the summer of 2024. Alex has been with us since the start of planning. I knew I wanted someone trustworthy, honest, and creative. Alex eludes all of those qua...
lities and I know that will make my wedding perfect! Actually beyond what I even imagined! He has been so thorough throughout the process. He is organized and very knowledgeable of the industry. He thinks of ideas I would have never thought of or come across in research. He is a joy to work with and I would recommend him to any couple looking for a wedding planner that will exceed your expectations!
There are no words to articulate how incredible the Duchess of Denver is! Alexander went above and beyond every single step of the way in planning and executing our 3-day wedding ...
weekend. I'd originally hired a different full-service firm and after 8 months of working together, it was clearly not the right fit. The Duchess swooped in with less than 6 months until the big day and I knew right away that he was the one for me.
Together, we revisited every haphazard decision I'd made to ensure it would not only appease us, but truly light our souls on fire. He approached each and every aspect with the utmost attention to detail and a genuine commitment to bringing our vision to life. He even engaged my then-fiancé in the process, despite my insisting that he had zero interest. Alex helped him find countless reasons to LOVE being involved with the planning process, which is priceless to me.
Alex is assertive when he should be but is always warm, kind, funny, and compassionate. He consistently prioritized accommodating my autistic brother and other guests with health concerns or special needs. He's incredibly knowledgeable about Jewish weddings and helped us weave meaning and tradition throughout our wedding day.
Needless to say, the entire weekend was PERFECTLY executed and most importantly, we felt ZERO anxiety. Our families absolutely adored the whole Duchess team - my (difficult to impress) Dad even joked that there must be 3 Alex's because he was everywhere! He flawlessly navigated challenging family dynamics and made sure that everyone felt like a VIP. Did I mention that we had 106 guests travel across the country for the wedding? He was pretty much famous among our guests by the end of the weekend and every bride-to-be in attendance wanted his contact info.
I had the honor of being Alex's first full-service bride under his own firm/the Duchess of Denver brand, but I am confident that he will be fully booked in no time, so don't snooze on hitting that contact button! There is truly no one like him. Hiring the Duchess of Denver was by far the best decision I made when planning our dream wedding weekend.
As a super organized person, I wondered if I would need a month of wedding planner. For anyone who's wondering the same, I'd say to stop wondering, and put your faith in Alex! We c...
ould NOT imagine our wedding day without his help. While the service is called ‘Month of,’ he started onboarding with us and our vendors with plenty of time to spare and checked in frequently to make sure our needs were being taken care of. Our wedding was originally planned for September 2020, but we decided to move it a year because of the pandemic. Alex went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and to ensure the vendors honored our contractual changes and understood. The weekend of, Alex was incredible, and because of him I got to feel like a guest at my own wedding. He helped wrangle my fiancee and I, our bridal party, our families and all of our vendors. He was a wedding day QUEEN, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be, what they needed to do, and that we were all having fun in the process. Everyone told us ahead of the wedding "things will surely go wrong, but it's OK." But literally nothing went wrong, and for that we thank Alex.
