Ali and Vlad - the 'quintessential' 2020 Covid Couple - planning a large wedding that was rescheduled THREE times - finally they decided that being married was the ultimate goal in their planning, and so they escaped to us from Florida to experience their holiday themed wedding and their FIRST time in the snow!! The only thing that made it better was that they brought their fur babies to join them and play in the snow with them!! Congratulations Ali and Vlad, and thanks for letting us be a part of your Colorado Rocky Mountain wedding experience!

When you plan a 'fall' wedding in Colorado and THIS happens... you gotta just run with it!!

Lots of couples moving to elopements and 'micro' weddings thanks to COVID! Not to mention Rocky Mountain National Park restricting weddings to no more than 10 people (including the couple, officiating, photographer, etc.) and permits to RMNP being nearly impossible to find for the remainder of 2020. Give us a call - we are the MASTERS of Estes Park Elopements with over 20 years experiences and literally thousands of happy couples! Private Property and Amenities Galore!!

Elopement in the Rocky Mountains. Just because the elaborate wedding had to be postponed doesn't mean LOVE needs to be put on hold! Elope in Estes Park Colorado with a few family and friends and celebrate with your gang when the coast is clear and everyone can be healthy and safe. We have 8 acres of privacy nestled up to RMNP and are secluded, beautiful and ensure your experience to finally tie the knot is unparalleled!!

Celebrating LONGEVITY.

One of my most favorite celebrations is that of a couple who has endured the trials and tribulations, defied the odds, and have just come to set the bar for what marriage is REALLY about. Celebrating anniversaries, and the renewal of vows.

Many are enjoying the ceremony they missed in their beginning, having wedding photos for the first time, wearing a beautiful gown, a non-courthouse ceremony, holding flowers - and of course, having their children, grand children and even great grand children there to celebrate with them!!

We have special amenities for our renewal couples - so whether it is 5 years or 75 years, allow us the opportunity to adorn you with appreciation on your wedding vow renewal!!

Spring time in 2020 is such a different vibe than a typical spring... it isn't just about the flowers and trees blooming, but about life all around us coming out of seclusion, out of hibernation.

Estes Park is opening, businesses are one-by-one turning lights and "Open" signs on... hotels are opening, restaurants are serving. We are looking forward to getting back to what WE do best.... blending of families, of two loves together as one. Smaller, more intimate yes... but just as powerful, just as full of love and laughter.

The culture of weddings as we knew it has abruptly and drastically changed... and it is going to continue to do so over the next weeks and months - maybe even years. Once thought necessary to have a magnitude of bodies in attendance (albeit I NEVER understood how the more in attendance validated a marriage moreso that an intimate occasion), couples AND their guests are going to be rethinking attendance. We will see the days of co-workers, former school friends and distance relatives dissipate from the guest list and those of more valued presence in attendance. Having a smaller group surrounding you actually has other benefits - less cost, smaller venues, less constraints to make others happy - just LESS STRESS. A wedding is not about the SHOW, it is about the MARRIAGE. The commitment. Ultimately, about the two of you. Having an intimate wedding allows the focus to be on what REALLY matters, and being surrounded by friends and family who are part of your immediate life... those who will support and uplift your relationship. Embrace it. Cherish the ones who celebrate with you - it isn't about quantity that makes your marriage real. Its about you as a couple, and your innermost circle...

Elopements and "Micro-Weddings" will increase in popularity - taking away the pressure of travel, the expense for those attending (The average cost for one person plus one is over $800 JUST as a guest - think about THAT for a moment!! - clothing, travel, accommodations, shower and wedding gifts, etc.) Consider a small, intimate event instead - maybe even one that can be broadcast live - and ease your and your guests stress.

Fawn Brook Weddings are in a PRIVATE setting - no strangers to distance from, no permits to arrange, no onlookers gawking at a private and intimate affair. Allow our staff to tend to your needs in these changing times, to dote on your every need to ensure that your gathering is romantic, POSITIVELY emotionally charged, and yet stress free and budget friendly!

Planning a Wedding and the Coronavirus

In the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, couples planning their weddings and elopements are wondering how it will affect their plans, and how the outbreak may overall affect their big day. There’s lots to consider both logistically and financially, so if your plans are set on getting married in the immediate future, Here are some important tips to help you celebrate as safely as possible.

For larger events, obviously the safest and most legal way in many situations here in Colorado, is to postpone the wedding until health related risks subside. Especially if your loved ones attending are higher risk - very young, elderly, or those who have other health concerns that affect their immune systems. For those without the option to change dates, consider these options for ways to minimize risks.

If you’re getting married in the next few months, we suggest limiting your guest list first and foremost. Immediate family and friends can be just as much of an enjoyable event as dozens of distant relatives and co-workers who you don't see regularly. You can also consider live streaming your ceremony, depending on the location. We can assist with options such as Skype, Facebook Live, Google Hangouts, or FaceTime can allow your guests to tune in virtually and still witness your ceremony. OR, If your heart is still set on celebrating with your entire guest list, consider a big reception after the outbreak subsides.

The safest way to get married is by celebrating your marriage with just the two of you. The risk of contracting the virus increases in groups, so opting to elope alone brings those chances down significantly.It will also offer the option of a location that’s local or doesn’t require traveling long distances or flying.

Did you have a traditional wedding planned within the next few weeks, but because of the outbreak, family and friends were banned from traveling and want to plan a more intimate event in the same time frame? We can absolutely help! We know that this is a difficult time for anyone planning a wedding, and we will make sure we do everything we can to give you the wedding of your dreams — even on short notice! We want your wedding day to be perfect and safe, so contact us with what it is you were thinking, and we’ll do what we can on our end to make it happen!

Avoid shaking hands or hugging - both your wedding guests and vendors. While a time to celebrate, it’s also a time where keeping distance is ultimately the safest.

Keep yourself updated on CDC latest recommendations as well as the current status of wherever you’ll be traveling. Colorado Governor's recent order closing venues and accommodation closures (Rocky Mountain National Park is now closed indefinitely) Quarantines and travel restrictions are becoming common, so if you’re planning a destination wedding, minimize any complications that may arrise and affect your plans up by knowing what’s happening in the area.

If you’re the couple, a guest, or a vendor who feels symptoms, do not attend. - If you are feeling questionable or have any symptoms of the COVID-19 coronavirus or if you may have been exposed to it in any way, do not show up to the wedding - Everyone will thank you!

Practice general safety, like washing your hands and carrying hand sanitizer around with you while outside the home.
Keeping your hands clean and avoiding touching your face is recommended,

With us - you have options if you’ve decided that traveling is out of the question. We are happy to postpone your ceremony for a later date at no additional cost.

Any couple who has booked Weddings on Fawn Brook services can postpone their ceremony for a later time at no additional cost.

Even the tiniest break from cold and snow is always welcome! Jordan and Grant were appreciate after traveling from Texas that Mother Nature cooperated for their Colorado Elopement!! Jordan's bouquet was full of lush eucalyptus in different varieties and three succulents to represent her grandparents who have passed. We always process our succulents so that they remain ALIVE with roots in tact... so that they can take them home and replant them and watch them grow over the years!

Leap Day + Winter Wonderland + Blue Bird Sky = STUNNING Colorado Elopement

Do we perform Colorado LGBTQ weddings and elopements? Absolutely. Without Question. ALL the time.

LOVE is LOVE. There are no RULES, There are not RIGHTS or WRONGS. There are no BOUNDARIES. Love is something that blossoms between two hearts and souls, lives and grows there, and the only judgement allowed is between those two hearts. I (Lorie) was raised in a family with two "aunts" from a young age in the days and times when it wasn't a "thing". It was natural, a part of reality. My aunt's partner died 2 months before same-sex marriage was recognized as 'legal'. They were together for 54 years. They set a better example of what a real commitment was more than any other relationship I have known. My aunt's partner would have LOVED to have been a bride, but was never afforded that chance because of "rules", "rights and wrongs" and "boundaries" . Today? EVERY.SINGLE.SAME-SEX.WEDDING. we have the honor to be a part of allows me to celebrate on her behalf and know that she is celebrating as she watches over us.

These couples are just a FEW of my favorites... and yeah... there are a LOT of them. LOVE's very own success stories... and just some of the couples that I know proudly call FRIENDS.
