Every season in the mountains has its own treasures. The Aspen trees that turn meadows and mountainsides into gold in the fall, snow-capped mountain peaks in the late fall and winter, and newly emerging wildflower-speckled meadows in the spring. With the large number of venues to choose from - whether it be a ranch, mountainside, castle, or mansion - and all the other details that go into planning a Rocky Mountain wedding, it’s a good idea to enlist the help of a wedding planner who is familiar with the area.
