Dear Kevin and Lorie: Our son, John and our now daughter, Melissa (“ Missy”), have always loved Colorado. Most of all, they love one another. Consequently, they wanted a small, intimate ceremony – a destination wedding – in Colorado. They made the perfect choice choosing one another and they made the perfect choice in choosing the two of you to facilitate their wedding! Everything was wonderful and flawless and your experience was so apparent: you were prepared for every contingency. Kevin the ceremony, in particular the vows, was beautiful and touching. We were all moved to tears at the sentiments you shared. Your depth of spirit is quite apparent. The sincerity of the ceremony was most overwhelming. Lorie your organization and photography are outstanding and your sweet spirit is most gracious. Thank you for making this a most wonderful day for our children so PERFECT. Your contributions to their day are only surpassed by the incredible scenery of God’s cathedral (Rocky Mountain National Park, Sprague Lake), and His creation is only surpassed by the love the love that He has given John and Missy for one another.
Our warmest regards, |

In our effort to complete an amazing year with a vacation that would be the subject of our conversation and WOW our friends, we decided to go skiing, or at least try to. Then we began reflecting on the many obstacles we’ve had and our many accomplishments and we wanted to start our new year out a little differently, a better place, so we decided to get married, however the WOW was that we do it in Colorado while on vacation. This was a rather large job considering neither of us had ever been to Colorado or knew anyone there, I started looking online to figure how in the world I was going to pull this off, that’s when I found Marry Me in Colorado’s website. I spent many hours sitting just admiring their work and I was absolutely floored by the beauty of their work and hoping for ours to be as beautiful. I finally got the nerve to call Kevin and Lori and to my surprise a real person answered the phone, it was Kevin, he was a wealth of information, then I got the opportunity to speak with Lori, who also was loaded with great ideas and suggestions, they made what seemed to be a great chore into a beautiful beginning. Kevin and Lori’s personality is equally as beautiful as the work they do, having spoke with them over the six months preceding the wedding, for my monthly “how is it going” chit-chats, I found them to be very passionate about their work and the type of people that live the dream that the help others to achieve. Kevin and Lori never appeared to be too busy to speak with me or to return my phone calls, even though I knew most of the time they were, they always offered patience, a kind ear and gentle words of encouragement, being from the south you know those conversations could be pretty lengthy sometimes. Kevin and Lori are very beautiful people that not only understand the business of weddings, but the art of marriage, the love, respect, trust and laughter that goes with it everyday. We couldn’t imagine entrusting this special occasion to anyone other than them. It’s been a couple of weeks since the wedding and we are still talking about it and of course our wedding planners, minister, tour guide, travel agent, cake baker, photographer, florist and the most important of the many hats they wore------Friends!!! Wayne and I just cannot thank you enough for helping us to create the picture perfect memory and a beautiful new beginning. We are actually trying to plan another trip to the area and hope that we may get the opportunity to visit with you and maybe feed the deer in the backyard. Thanks a bunch, Love, Hugs and Smootches,
Wayne

Kevin and
Lorie, When my husband and I began talking about getting married, we decided we wanted to elope and have something special with just the two of us. I had no idea where to begin. I knew I wanted to get married in Colorado. I had heard a lot about Estes Park. I started searching on the internet for where to go from there. I came across a website called Marry Me In Colorado. I called and talked to Kevin Cooper and immediately I knew that was the direction I wanted to go. From the minute he answered the phone, I knew I was in GREAT hands. It seemed as if I was talking to one of my family members. Kevin was so helpful and answered all my questions. |
|
|
He
went over all options I had and gave me several
suggestions. He was so friendly and easy to talk
with. I knew I could trust him to make my
special day everything I wanted it to be. Even
though I had never met him, I felt like I had
known him awhile. All the plans went off great. He
sent me all of the information with a lot of
personal options. I decided on the things I wanted
and sent the information back to him. He took care
of everything else. All I had to dowas show up and
get a marriage license. I called him several times
during the process and each time he was so willing
to answer any and all questions. The day of the
wedding was the first time I met Kevin and Lorie.
They both were so kind and ready to make our day
special. They took time to make sure we got all of
the pictures we wanted. We got married on Saturday
and by Monday my beautiful pictures were ready for
viewing. Lorie did an excellent job on making us
look beautiful and capturing all our special
moments. I am very satisfied with the service I
received and would highly recommend Marry Me In
Colorado for all wedding needs. You will not be
disappointed. They are the best! |

Thank you so much for all of your customization and care with our wedding. Everything was perfect! We have had numerous people say that the pictures were the prettiest wedding they had seen and it is all thanks to you. We loved the ceremony, sand unity, flowers, and pictures. I have already told one of my friends about you as she is thinking about doing a wedding in Breckenridge or Estes Park. Again, thank you! Adam & Letta |

"Kevin's
enthusiasm and extensive experience as a wedding
officiant sealed the deal for us! He has astounded
us with his personal attention to our ceremony,
polite demeanor, and support! His wonderful wife
Lorie is indeed "The Fairy God Mother!" She offers
amazing, valuable support to brides! She also offers
wedding planning services! Lorie and Kevin make a
solid team and are a great example to any soon to be
married couple on how to support and love each
other!

Planning your
wedding can be a stressful and exciting time. You
want everything to be perfect so you do your
research. While looking all over the net we were
looking for a reputable officiant that would be
able to meet the needs of a bride and groom that
wanted a small intimate wedding but still offered
the perks. Marry Me In Colorado was the one site
we could not stop returning to. So many options
are offered and Kevin and Lorie feel like old
friends that you can talk to if there is anything
needed. Every aspect of the ceremony was so
beautiful and we were so happy with the end
result. We are so thankful for the beautiful
memories that were made by Marry Me In Colorado on
our special day. If you are looking for a pastor/officiant
that can still incorporate the intimacy of a
wedding ceremony whether it is large or small,
look no further than Marry Me In Colorado!!! |

Hi Kevin & Lorie,
I was just writing to say hi and to once again thank
you all for the great job you guys did with our
wedding. We all (our families as well as Erin and
I) thought it went great and couldn't have imagined
how things could have gone any better.
You two made the process easy and elegant all in the
same breath! I can't think of enough good things to
say about how everything was handled.
Also, Lorie, your recommendations on the restaraunt
for our dinner and the hairdresser made our day and
the whole process that much better. The food was
exceptional and every one loved it. And my hair,
well, it was beautiful and the girl that did it did
an exceptional job.
Erin K - August 27, 2009

Kevin,
I'm very so very impressed
with how you altered the ceremony (and that means a
lot coming from a pretentious woman who got a BA in
Fine Art). I can count the times on one hand when I've
allowed anyone besides myself to create something
written that held such high importance that I would
actually use.
That being said, you truly have a gift. We love how you put flesh on our skeleton of a ceremony. You are very intuitive, and you got this one right on. We are so thankful!

LOVE THEM! You did such an amazing job! A true

first times, at a loss for words. They took my
breath away! I can't wait to show Erin when she
gets off work! Oh my, I'm so happy! Thank you,
thank you, and THANK YOU!

Dear Kevin,
Zack and I want to thank you from the bottom of our
hearts for making our wedding so wonderful. You made
the entire experience so special and you made us
feel confident that the location you suggested would
be as perfect as we had hoped for. Our elopement
proved to be the best decision that we've made as a
couple thanks to your kindness. Your sincere regard
for our happiness showed in every one of our
interactions - you made it so easy and stress-free
for us to plan the wedding, even from all the way in
Alabama! We also greatly appreciate your flexibility
and apologize for almost missing our own wedding! We
are so blessed to have found you, thanks for making
our dream come true!
All the best, Zack and Tanya Sylvan - June, 2009

_______________________________________________________ The decision to 'elope', or in our case plan a very intimate wedding with only 10 family members, was one that was very long and thought through from every conceivable angle. Who would we hurt by not inviting? What if the travel arrangements became tedious? And, most importantly, would we have regrets about our wedding day later on? Although it felt concerning, your advice and support of our decision was what made our adventure from Texas even more worth while. You were our wedding planners, our therapist, our travel advisor and best of all you were our 'Fairy God Parents' that day in May. The flowers were spectacular, the photos are breathtaking and the ceremony you hand crafted for us is something we will cherish our entire lives. Every aspect that you touched of our wedding day came from your hearts, and that made it that much richer the experience. I'm so glad I took your advice and went ahead with my dream wedding gown and Alex rented his tuxedo - although I dreamed of wedding plans for years you were right - all of the aspects were there that were really important to us - we looked picture perfect and felt amazing, the backdrop was unparalleled to anything either of us have experienced, our families adored the activities we all enjoyed together. We also took your advice on the BBQ we will have in our backyard next month and look forward to celebrating with the rest of our friends and family. So the answer to the big question - any regrets? Absolutely NOT. The most important people were there by our sides, my parents and brother and his wife and Alex's mom and sister with her family. Instead of the money spent on a lavish wedding? We are excited to share with you that we are purchasing our first home together and will be official home owners in July! I just wanted to say that you provide an incredible service - not just the day of the wedding, but the true pleasure of getting to know you throughout the months leading up to our trip. You were always there to answer questions and guide us and I just want to say thank you so much. I'd be honored to be a reference for anyone who ever needs one. Thank you again for a romantic, memorable occasion... we look forward to staying in touch and will send you photos of our new home as soon as we are settled! - Liza and Alex, May 12, 2009 |

Dear
Kevin, We finally had a quiet moment to sit and reflect on our wedding day. As everyone warned us, the wedding went by in a blur, but because of you I will always remember our ceremony. You took the time to meet and talk with us; to see how we interacted with each other and assisted us in making the ceremony our own (a task the two of us were uncertain and nervous about). You expertly tailored our ceremony to one that melded the needs of our two families with ours and your personal interaction and fun sense of humor made everyone feel involved in the event (which is still mentioned these many months later!). Thanks for all your help during a great but stressful time! Sincerely, Jennifer and John Scott - Red Stone Inn |

Kevin, Thank you for making our wedding day such a beautiful experience! The location you suggested was breathtaking! The pictures are spectacular - Wow! There really are some amazing photos! You took so many and really captured the essence of all of us. I'm glad we purchased extra photography, choosing just a few photos would have been impossible! Your willingness to arrange flowers, pictures and the last minute request for music was very much appreciated!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Thank you for all you did to make this day such a treasure that we will never forget!! Phil, Tonja and the Girls - January 17, 2009 ____________________________________________________________ |

Kevin,
Thank you so very much first and foremost for sharing your own anniversary with us, this too was a very special day to us and our family. This special moment was a long time coming. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt words that expressed Casey and my love for one another and the love we have for our family. The words that you wrote for us was an expression to the world and before God the love we have and will share for the rest of our lives. The moment we met over the phone you took great interest in providing us with help and service. Even if it was a few hours in time, this time will last forever in our hearts and in our minds. The flowers, the cake, the champagne, the sparkling cider and the great photographer wrapped this day in the best Christmas present I could ever receive. Having our children all together to share in a special family vow and to be involved with our decision was the icing on the cake. I look forward in keeping in touch with a such a couple that continue to reach out to others with the talents that they have been blessed with. THANK YOU!!
FROM THE
FLADELAND FAMILY
CASEY, FRANNA,
JON, MITCH, KENNEDI AND TY!!

Kevin,
As I pondered how to describe our wedding day, not even the words "spectacular" or "visionary" would do... I just kept thinking over and over to myself... "WOW". A simple word with a powerful punch and it is perfect to describe you! When we decided to elope we had no idea where or how or when. We found your website and despite being a traditional bride and searching for endless hours, I always ended back at your website. Call it a magical draw or fate, but whatever it was was just too powerful! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect. It is as if you have known each of us for years... the words you spoke were not AT us, but TO us. The setting you suggested was truly magical for us and our families, and a spot that we look forward to revisiting every time we come to Colorado. If there was any way to bottle the love and emotions from our wedding day we would be wealthy people... but instead we will enjoy our little hidden riches between us and be wealthier than anyone could wish for. I hope that every couple considering a wedding that takes them on a spiritual journey into their love stumbles on to your website and reads my tribute to know that they need look no further - they have found the perfect place! I hope that you are blessed in return for the joy you have given us and many other couples I am sure!

Dear Kevin, Stephen and I wanted to thank you for our wonderful wedding ceremony. Although we were being attacked by mosquitoes and had an impending rain shower it still couldn't have been more perfect. Contacting someone over the Internet would make anybody a little apprehensive, but things turned out just great! Our special request wedding cake and bridal bouquet were just as ordered and the pictures were beautiful. We never expected to receive as many pictures as we did. Thanks again to you and your wife for making our wedding day turn out just as we dreamed it would be. Sincerely,
Stephen and Bonnie

" We just wanted to thank you for making our day so perfect and stress free. You really went the extra mile, and were willing to do whatever was necessary to make it easier for us. The photos were amazing and the cake was delicious. Thank you for getting the photos back to me so fast, they were a big hit to share at our reception! The ceremony was exactly what I was looking for. You were willing to add and delete any part, and that made it perfect. I don't think the event could have been near as easy and relaxed if the 2 of you weren't there. You're the best!" Luke and Luciana - August 9, 2008 |

Jim and I wish to thank you both for everything that you did to make our special day and absolute storybook wedding. All arrangements were made with the upmost professionalism, with wonderful character and flair thrown in. I appreciate Kevin's sense of humor and making the tense moments of the day seem trivial. And, you took your time getting the flowers and photo's just right. Thank you.

How Our Wedding Day Was Saved...
So, there we were... all gathered together at the ceremony site with our family and friends... the only missing factor was the pastor we had hired - who FORGOT our wedding! A panic-filled but lucky jaunt up the road to Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch led us to find Kevin Cooper just leaving from the ceremony he performed earlier in the evening. I can only describe it as a true serendipitous moment!
Without even a second thought, Kevin jumped into his car and followed us to our site by the river, and without a moment's hesitation, he stepped in and performed a ceremony that we could not in a million years have wished for anything better. Our Pastor was planning the same-ole centuries old ceremony, but what we got was something out of a fairy tale book - like you had known us for months of planning!
Kevin - you were
truly a blessing to us that fateful Saturday
evening! You not only rescued our wedding day,
but you did it in a way that we can never thank you
enough for! Thank you for making everything OK
- and seeing to it that we were married in a
ceremony that we will never forget!
Jamie and Bryce - July, 2008

Kevin...
The two of you are an amazing pair - and we mean that as both an inspiration for us as a married couple and as a working team!
Your attention to every detail delivered a day that was beyond my dreams! I hope that every potential customer reads this to know that you are truly exceptional at what you both do... The ceremony that Kevin wrote for us couldn't have been any more reflective of us. Lorie - your flowers were a work of art, the cake was exactly what we wanted, and the photos were just spectacular - I don't know how you do it but you are truly a master in all aspects of weddings!
Our guests to this
day tell us they have been to dozens of weddings but
nothing as special as ours - and we have you to
thank for that!

" Kevin, I wanted to take a minute to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my ceremony with the music. I can't believe that I forgot it in all of the rush of last minute preparation, and was so amazed that you keep a CD of wedding music right there in your folder! I couldn't imagine walking down the isle without it!
The ceremony was beautiful, just the way we wanted it. My daughter's tears of joy were so special to me. Then when Pete choked up during his vows, I knew that we made the right decision having you perform our ceremony! For that moment in time, it was only Pete and I in the world. I will cherish that forever.
We got so many compliments about your family sand ceremony. I loved the significance and meaning around it. I will, without a doubt, recommend you to the next bride-to-be I meet." - Shellie & Pedro
_______________________________________________________
Levi and I would like to thank you for your amazing
work at our wedding. From our first phone call to
the day of the wedding you were informative, kind,
funny and absolutely essential to our perfect day.
We absolutely loved it; both of us will never forget
the hand ceremony. It was our favorite piece. The
entire ceremony was uniquely made for us and fit my
husband and I to a tee. We have received numerous
compliments about what an exceptional job you did
for us. Thank you for everything. - Levi & Tera

job. Thank you for your participation in this
meaningful event and for your endless
professionalism. |

Kevin, I want to thank

"Kevin, My husband and I
want to send a heartfelt thank you for the
incredible job you did for our daughter Trina's
wedding last month (August, 2007). As we are
not members of any specific church, we were
concerned about finding an officiant that would take
a personal interest in Trina and Jeremy's wedding
ceremony, and not a JP who we barely knew. Not
only did you take interest, but you became an
extension of our family during the planning process.
Your help with finding vendors, to our general
wedding planning crisis situations, you were the
calm in our storm. Your entire staff was so
helpful, beyond and above what any other vendor
would ever undertake. The ceremony couldn't
have been more representative of them... from the
nature ceremony with the stones and your beautiful
reading of how it included every member of our
wedding party and guests, to the vows you helped
them each to write. While we are not
religious, we consider ourselves spiritual, and you
were truly meant to be a part of not only the
wedding, but as part of this new family union!
Please use me as a reference for anyone who ever
needs one, I am sure that after talking with us they
won't even conceptualize using anyone else to
oversee their ceremony. I wish the very best
for you, you have truly found your gift and bless
every union you perform I am sure!" -
