Starting their journey with a fun hike in the mountains and a romantic proposal from Matt, Jessica Lampe and Matt Klasnick wanted their special wedding day to be romantic, fun and memorable.

The ceremony was planned for Flagstaff Mountain Amphitheater, a foothill location with a gorgeous view of Boulder and the Front Range. The guests would arrive and be seated outside for the ceremony then travel to the Millennium Hotel for the reception. After 5 straight days of rain, which never happens in Colorado, the rehearsal was conducted at Flagstaff Mountain Amphitheater with lots of prayers for a break in the weather for the next day, the wedding day. The old saying “wait 5 minutes and the Colorado weather will be different” wasn’t proving to be true for this couple’s day.

What We Did
The wedding day was here and so was the off and on again rain. Michele advised Jessica that their wedding would be even more memorable and the guests would be more comfortable if we move the ceremony to the Millennium Hotel covered pavilion. Jessica and the bridesmaids went to work calling their guests to let them know of the revised plan and Michele went to work contacting the vendors and informing them of the changes as well.

The concrete floor covered pavilion with open sides became the foundation of the most romantic ceremony sight ever imagined. The altar was constructed with beverage crates – to add height and interest – covered by linens. Candles from the rehearsal dinner and bridal shower were used to decorate and align the white chair aisle path. White ribbon was used to decorate the chair ends and flowers were tossed onto the aisle for color.

Jessica was escorted out to the unseen ceremony site. The bottom of her dress was wet and so were her cheeks with tears as she embraced the beautiful ceremony site. The thunder and lightening, candlelight and handsome fiancé created the perfect atmosphere that she had wanted all along, romantic, memorable and fun.

Knowing what Jessica and Matt would have wanted; Michele was able to create a ceremony site unlike any other. She worked with the bridal party, friends and family to arrange the site in time for the ceremony to begin on time. Clear communication, quick decision making, a great emergency kit and the best interest of Jessica and Matt at heart were what was needed for the couple to reach their goal to have a romantic, fun and memorable wedding day!
