After a full day of site visits, Ashleigh and Parshad chose to host their wedding at Columbine Country Club. The minute they walked in the door they knew that it was the right place for them.

The venue offers unlimited time, no mimimums, and fabulous dressing rooms and grounds.

It will be fun to help them create a beautiful wedding at a beautiful venue!

Sneak Peek

Susan Pacek just updated her blog with a few photos of Holly and Dan's wedding in Keystone. It was a very sunny day, but Susan did a great job in less-than-optimal lighting conditions.

She even included a sweet note: "Many thanks also go to Jordan and Jo Dee of Cachet Weddings and Events. Their amazing talent and expertise with preparing all the details and coordination of the day was flawless and it was a pleasure to work with them both! "

Thanks Susan! Can't wait to see the rest of the photos!
