We just had our wedding in Denver, several of our family had never been to Denver before. A Memory Lane Events with Dazzle Diamonds help us plan and coordinated a beautiful and memorable wedding that our guests all said to us that, "This is the most fun wedding that that had ever been too." Other's mentioned that the decor we had looked just like the Colorado Mountain Sunset's that you see in pictures. We made changes at the last moment to our ceremony and our preacher, staff and everyone made it work seamlessly as if that had always been the plan. We're just so thrilled. Our wedding day was better then we imagined even though weather didn't cooperate with us. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We love Jennifer & her staff. Chad & Miriam Nelson

"The level of service at A Memory Lane Event is fantastic. Having been a customer for many years, I am consistently impressed by the professionalism of every staff member I have come in contact with. Thank you!” Mia Skaff 

" In this day and age, it's hard to find a company you can trust. A Memory Lane Event was recommended to me by a friend, and now I know why – the quality of service I received was outstanding. Keep up the good work!” Debbie Millage

"You coordinated my wedding & reception. The decor was perfect, the favors matched with our decor perfectly. you decorated the buffet table so elaborately with statues of brides and grooms that matched our cake topper. It looked great! You handled everything for me, including many items that I never thought of. The entrance when we walked in blew my mind away. Thanks" Ricki & Ryan Evans

"You coordinated my oldest daughter's wedding a few years ago at the Country Club. You did a great job right down to finding a Scottish bag-piper. We and our guests' enjoyed the day and we still remember all the details you did to tie in our Scottish heritage and our son-in-laws Irish heritage. We're expecting our youngest daughter to be engaged soon. Expect a call!" John & Linda Lang March 2000

"You coordinated my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Not only did you attend to every detail but had fantastic surprises for us, such as custom printed napkins and because it was at the bird nature center, peacock feathers that were perfectly matched to the color scheme. You proved to us that you really did care that the party was the best possible for us, relieving all of our stress and that Emily had the party she wanted. My family that flew in from the East Coast who never likes anything, made comments like, "This has been the best weekend of my life" and "Wow you guys really spared no expense." Most of them would never consider having an event in anything but a catering hall. It would not have been possible with out you, Thank you." Craig and Nancy Abramson

You did a great job and exceeded our expectations for our daughters wedding, the decor was perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. We will be recommending you and your company to our friends and colleges. Dale & Pat Peterson June 2008
The decor set up was extravagant for the latest wedding you did up here and we were all very impressed. You had the perfect amount of staff to set up the elaborate decor set up and tear down and your staff were very efficient and professional. Steve Center, Mount Vernon Country Club

You did our wedding in Capri Italy. You did a fantastic job relieving all of our fears through out the process. We could not have asked for a better week & day. All of our guests told us that they have never attended a week long celebration for a wedding where they had so many activities and had more fun. Thank you for creating such a great time and a perfect memory. Codie & Jonas Fruge April 2009

You and your team handled did our wedding in downtown Denver at the Magnolia Hotel. We hired you 1/2 way through our planning. Not only did you find a way to accomplish all of our dreams with the wedding ceremony & reception looking like a page out of a magazine, but all of our family & friends were impressed with all the little touches and how every detail was attended to. Everyone had fun we loved our wedding. You and your team did a great job. Joe & Erica Murtaugh

Event & Wedding Budgets. How do you cut some cost?

Centerpieces by A Memory Lane Event

If you plan on feeding your guests in any kind of manner the food and liquor will without a doubt will be your biggest expense. If your having a wedding with a budget of $20,000 or less, this will probably be at least half your budget. Typically, if you invite 100 people, your looking at $10,000 minimum. That is for the food, minimal liquor, tables, chairs, forks, knives, linens, food and serving. Obviously there are exceptions i.e. have a park wedding where you grill the meal yourself or the despised potluck type meal. Restaurants are less expensive in some ways.

The biggest and most significant way to save money is to cut your guest list. In some cases it can save you hundreds of dollars a person. But things like cake, food, reception space, ceremony space, transportation, DIY projects, and more all add up very quickly per person. The guest list is in most cases the hardest to come up with especially if your parents or a significant person in your life is contributing money. So coming up with a guest list(just the two of you) and then talking to others in the family about it is the best course of action.

Some services are not affected by the amount of people like photography or music, though if your guest count is close to 200 people or more it starts affecting everything).

Cutting guests from the guest list

Easy people to cut:

Do not say “And Guest” on the RSVP card. The rule is if you have been living with or are in a committed relationship of more than 6 months (and I have met said person) I specifically added their name to their invitation. No confusion.

Children. We all love children, but you should be aware that allowing your guests to bring their children does count towards your guest count. In some cases adding 20 or more people to our guest list. The best way to deal with this is to specifically invite a handful of children we were close to.

Day time events and weddings during the week

= smaller guest count

Hard people to cut:

Family friends. If your trying to have a wedding with 50 or less people, most likely, your going to have to severally limit your parents friends. Talking with your parents about this and previously having a stated guest list of 50 or less is helpful when you hear “But Aunt Betty knitted you a baby blanket and we have worked together for 11 years!” You can easily bring up the budgeted for guest list. Let the people swapping on the guest list begin.

Extended family. Why are we inviting people that you or your finance have never met! When wanting a small wedding, sometimes family dynamics are beyond your control particularly if you dont want tons of drama. You should consult with parents, sibs, etc. about who they are worried about. Cutting extended family can be really hard and can hurt some people. You must also remain strong when parents, siblings and close extended family push the line on the “people who should be invited” list.

Friends. Family seems to take up 80-90% of guest lists. So you have very limited space for friends. Childhood friends and current friends can be tricky

What to expect in pricing from vendors

Florist price ranges can be anywhere between $600-the sky is the limit based upon your floral choices and delivery

Professional Photographers can be anywhere between $600-$6,000 depending on your package choices & desires for the day.

Cakes. Most bakeries for a wedding cake begin at $5 per slice. Yes it is per slice. This price depending upon your flavor and filling choices can go up as high as $15 per slice.

Planner & Coordinators. At the least you should consider Day of services to assist you with the enevitable that can occur on the day of. In Denver planner and coordinator fees range between $500 for an inexperienced and $1500 for a Luxury Coordinator.

DJ's and Band prices can range between $700 to $3,000 for a 4 hour window

Locations: Pricing all depends upon what you can not live with out and what your vision for the day is. Little cottages start at $1000 for a 6 hour time slot where if you're looking at renting a location like a Cathedral starting rental is $1500 for a two hour window. Some locations will charge a smaller venue rental fee when you use them for food and liquor services.

Event & Wedding Dresses

You can look on E-Bay for great deals on clothes. Be sure to check your measurements before you purchase to be sure that the clothes you purchase will fit. We also have partnerships with a couple bridal salons that have amazing pricing and amazing service. Order your dresses at least 4 months in advance so any last minute alternations can be made. Remember that wedding dresses actually run small compared to department stores. Depending upon the type of dress that you are looking for expect to spend between $500-$10,000.

More Cost savings

Some of the best cost savings is when you have multiple uses for the same design element. Such as you can have your centerpiece double as your favor for your guests. I.e. cake “lollipops can be placed in a vase with tissue paper. When you cut the cake your guests can either have their cake from the table at that time or can take it home with them as a favor.” You can have the floral from the church also be used at the reception hall. The bridal table(s) instead of centerpieces can be the bridesmaids bouquets combined on the table in what looks like one arrangement.


We can assist you with any of the above and several of the vendors that we work with will do price breaks for our clients. This savings can be up to $5,000 alone.

Events & Wedding's A MEMORY LANE EVENT is dying to do

Weddings that A Memory Lane Event & Wedding is dying to do.

White weddings by A Memory Lane Event

An all White Wedding with a theme title of pure heaven sent love.. Not because of Billy Idol's 1982 video and song. But because it would be so beautifully elegant. White peony's, roses and gardenia flowers, tons of white organza with white fairy lights, strands of crystals, and a gorgeous couple all in white. It would be stunning! Hopefully, we'd be lucky enough to pick a day where the Rocky Mountains were in the background with fresh fallen snow. Can you picture the amazing setting? Call A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING to discuss your desires for your wedding. 303-513-2364 www.amemorylaneevent.com

A Cowboy wedding at a Dude Ranch. We've got 4 perfect dude ranches in Colorado where you can stay for a few days to a week. Just picture a week long wedding event. With a day long trail ride, a cattle drive, bunking quarters & rooms for you and the guests. Big BBQ dinners. Campfires at night. Have your bridal luncheon and rehearsal dinner at the ranch. Then end the week with your wedding in the mountains behind the ranch over looking a lake. A MEMORY LANE EVENT has several great country bands and DJ's for dancing at your grand reception with a brisket dinner. Then Sunday after lunch you can stay for another week or two of fun while your guests all leave. Call A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING to discuss your desires for your wedding. 303-513-2364 www.amemorylaneevent.com

A MEMORY LANE EVENT is also dying to do a candy themed wedding. Picture an all while room, with large “gum drops” as the walk way & aisle with large lollipops leading your guests into a gingerbread house for your nuptials and party. Jewel toned and pastel candy as floral bouquets, specialty drinks at the bar that taste like candy. The centerpieces all made from candy for your guests to eat as the reception progresses. Chocolate fountains filled with different types of chocolate and dipping items with small candies to add to your special creation. Table cloths all in dark red satin that look like cinnamon drops when photographed from above. Call A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING to discuss your desires for your wedding. 303-513-2364 www.amemorylaneevent.com


A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING is also dying to do a Woodland pixie fairy themed event. Can you envision walking into your foundation function smelling pine and being surrounded by woods, greenery, pixie lights and candlelight? Maybe some woodland creatures coming out of the greenery. For even more fun, optional dressing up as woodland imp or fairy for your cause. Enjoying a great dinner to Celtec sounds followed by dancing. How fun. Call A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING to discuss your desires for your wedding. 303-513-2364 www.amemorylaneevent.com

Maybe your dream is a recreation of the California Gold Rush set in what is now a ghost town. A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING would love to do this theme. An event with Gun fights at noon, panning for gold and dinner at the hotel followed by dancing at the saloon. An event that would last in yours and your guests for the rest of their life. Call A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING to discuss your desires for your wedding. 303-513-2364 www.amemorylaneevent.com

Day Of Event and Wedding Coordinating

The importance of the addition of the "day of" coordinator to your wedding planning team. Now, I want to share with you the benefits of hiring a planner and coordinator. No we do not necessarily have to plan every single detail of your wedding, unless that is what you would prefer. Regardless of if you want a planner or coordinator or hire us, a company that does both, your personality and flair should be very apparent throughout the day – as a planner and coordinator we’re here, to give you advice and guidance throughout the entire planning process. The only way I know to tell you about the benefits of having a planner and coordinator, is to tell you the value I bring to my own couples prior to their wedding day, the day of and after.


I have the ability to make magical, dazzling and upscale elegance to your day, make progress happen with just one phone call or email - like a super hero without the cape and tights! Couples have asked me to talk to vendors when they are having a difficult time getting their points across to their vendors. They ask me intervene. It’s sometimes odd that some people and vendors will not respond to a bride for a week, but will respond to me right away. I have often wondered why that is - since the bride/couple is their actual client. I think it’s probably because I bring more repeat business. Whether that is a good reason or not - it’s true. I don’t sugar coat things for my couples, I tell them like it is, with tact.

It’s not my style to push people around, but I will get the desired affect for my clients - however, when someone doesn’t respond to one of my brides/ couples...they know it. If vendors, locations and officiants want me to recommend their businesses, they have to show me how they will go above and beyond for my couples.


I have no alliances to anyone, with the exception of the two people that hire me - the bride and groom, in some cases their parents. It’s my job to get you what you want. I had my wedding years ago. It was amazing and everything I wished for, but it’s over. It’s not my job to plan my wedding, but to take your vision and make it a reality. We are here to be an advocate for you. We negotiate with vendors, whether they are our suggestion or yours. We help to smooth things over with your family and friends.


One advantage of having a planner and coordinator throughout the entire process is that you are able to take advantage of our hard-earned networking, 19 years of experience and the knowledge of what works smoothly. A good planner and coordinator will have many connections within the community - which allows you access to the best vendors in the area. If the planner and coordinator is well-respected in the community, the vendors will want to go above and beyond to impress you and your family - thereby impressing the planner and coordinator which helps ensure repeat business for the vendor.

At one of my recent weddings, the bride and groom contracted a photographer and opted for a small package with associate coverage (no assistant). On the day of the wedding, the owner showed up with an assistant and both of them stayed through ½ of the reception. Not bad! Above and beyond!


Experience is one of the most important aspects. A good planner and coordinator will have years of experience. Having done thousands more weddings than the bride and groom - we know the ropes and know how to avoid the pitfalls of wedding planning. The wedding planner and coordinator will ensure that your process is smooth and stress free. They will make sure all the nuances of wedding planning are taken care of with professionalism.

Additionally, I totally believe that time is money. A professional planner and coordinator will save you time and stress which will be worth their weight in gold. We are supposed to take that nervousness away from you, not cause you more! Planning and Coordination takes a lot of experience. I have tons of experience with interpersonal skills, budgeting skills and attention to details in more then just planning and coordinating which also saves you time and money. You’re dealing with one person to explain what you want, it’s my job to impart this information to everyone from wait staff at the location to the favor assembly to ensure that every detail has been carefully tied into the perfect bow for you, your family, friends and guests in attendance.


What exactly does a day of coordinator do for you? I am asked this question many times. It’s a great question! It’s the job of a day-of coordinator, to keep everything organized and running smoothly on the day of your wedding. Your coordinator is the point of contact for your vendors, hotel concierge and guests if questions/problems arrive on the day of the wedding. While your coordinator is responsible for the rehearsal and wedding day, we must do a lot of pre-work (prior to your big day) to be successful at our job and ensure the seamless execution of your dazzling day with a diamond quality.

I encourage couples considering a professional coordinator, to contact them as early as possible, interview a couple before making a decision. Your coordinator should calm your nerves and the three of you (spouse to be and the coordinator) should be able to feel more like friends and not like it will be a battle to the end to impart your wishes.

The advantage to contacting a coordinator early - you can take advantage of all of services, knowledge and expertise early in the planning process. Not all planners are coordinators. Not all coordinators are planners. When you find a planner and coordinator in one person/company you have a rarity. When that same company also has all the other elements, such as floral and décor designers and staff to achieve the needs of your wedding, and to be able to handle all the aspects of your wedding or event then you have the closet thing to heaven.


For day of weddings, I must be involved at the latest 4 weeks before your big day. Although, I prefer several months in advance of the wedding so we can be sure that we are all on the same page. Contacting me several months in advance and then no communication or not getting me the information until a couple weeks before the wedding doesn’t really cut it. We want your day to be perfect too, we need to be in the loop to ensure that it is. I want to see the contracts you’ve signed and make sure that the times that vendors are scheduled to arrive correspond with the rest of the contracts and time frames. Several years ago a bride that refused to let me see the contracts, the DJ showed up to perform two hours before the ceremony even started and was scheduled to leave a ¼ of the way into the reception. The bride and groom did not give me any information until rehearsal the day before the wedding, at that point it was too late to fix any of the issues and the day of wedding was far from perfect. We do not even consider a couple who calls us now with a wedding with in a 2 week time period.

After all, the better the coordinator knows your wedding, the better they can advocate for you on your wedding day and fix anything that doesn’t fit into your perfect day as it should. Your coordinator will be your point of contact for logistical, procedural, and etiquette questions. Most coordinators have several packages you can choose from and some have options to custom build a package that fits into your budget and gives you the help where you need it. Your coordinator will keep you on target with what needs to be done as your big day approaches. They will give you customized timelines, or track your progress so that all tasks are being completed on time and in the correct order. Of course, if you hit any bumps along your journey, whether large or small, your coordinator can be your partner in helping you to smooth things out - making the process a lot less stressful for you.


About a month prior to your big day, your coordinator will begin working with you and your vendors to create a detailed and customized timeline. When done, this timeline will become the "bible" for your day - telling your vendors, your location, your coordinator, and your wedding party when tasks are to be completed. It’s very important to keep all of your vendors on the same page. Typically, this document is distributed 1-2 weeks prior to your wedding to wedding party members and vendors. The week prior to your wedding, your coordinator will complete all last minute confirmations with your vendors. It is their job not only to ensure that all of your vendors have maps, transportation itineraries, and directions; but also to make sure all details are attended to, and everyone knows what is to happen on your wedding day. The last week before your wedding day, you should be relaxing, hanging out with family and friends and seeing your guests that are coming in from far away places not tending to the details of the wedding. Don’t give yourself a pimple to blemish your gorgeous face the week of your wedding because you wanted to save yourself a few hundred dollars..


Most "day of" packages include rehearsal coordination - in which the coordinator will work with your officiant to make your rehearsal run smoothly and quickly – so that you can enjoy your guests/family members and rehearsal dinner with little stress worry.

On your wedding day, they will be there to help set up and make sure everything is per your requests. In some cases, depending on how much set up work is to be done, they will bring a team with them to ensure that both the ceremony & the reception is set up on time and with in the time restraints of the facilities. Your coordinator is there to answer questions, field emergencies and make sure everything runs to your specifications. Your coordinator will line-up your wedding party, cue musicians, manage the change-over (or cocktail hour), ensures that your reception runs smoothly (and all vendors are present for the big moments), and will help clean up and make sure your important wedding materials and memories (gifts, guest book, pictures) get back to you safely.

Just like anything else, every coordinator is different. Some coordinators only do destination weddings, some do only weddings that take place in their home town. Some only do outdoor events or weddings, some only do hotel weddings, some only do casual type events/weddings some only do upscale events while others can take a normally causal type event and pair it with an upscale twist and others will not meet with you more than 6 months (or less) prior to your wedding day (all the time or during specific "peak" months) and some limit hours on the rehearsal/wedding day. Other coordinators will allow you to contact them anytime, and some will give you unlimited hours on your rehearsal and wedding day. Generally, coordinators for day of services range from $500.00-$2,500.00 – which is based on level of service, experience, training, and demographics. It’s important that you find someone who will fit your needs, personality, and budget. We look forward to working with you. Jennifer A Memory Lane Event. 303-513-2364

Things Coordinators and Vendors wish clients knew

Wedding locations in Denver Colorado, A Memory Lane Event weddings

Wedding videography/cinematography can be so much more than pretty moving pictures set to music. While you can put your album on your coffee table, and frame your favorite photos, only a great wedding film can capture the voices, words, and stories that show every chapter of the wedding day. years from now, the sound of your grand parents, parents' and other cherished loved ones voices talking to you as you were getting ready, the advice for long and wonderful marriages, all told in their own words and heard in their own voices will be blessings heard again and again; that couples will laugh and cry hearing again the first words spoken to one another as they recess back down the aisle as married partners. You should know that editing an amazing film can take over a month of full-time work and should really cost well over 10K. That wedding films can be shown on iPods and iPhones. I'd like brides to know that most wedding videographers haven't shown you what's possible, because you've budgeted far less on a videographer than on your photographer, so that they really can't offer you all that they can do.

I'd like brides to watch some really amazing wedding films (go to www.generationscinemastories.com) and then reconsider where they might want to list videography/cinematography in their list of priorities.
Those who hired a videographer/cinematographer prior to their event or wedding valued the expense HIGHER after the wedding than before; and, that a significant percentage of brides who opted not to have their weddings filmed, regretted the decision!

Have an idea of what you are looking for in flowers and decor. This helps us to make recommendations that will keep you in your budget and also create arrangements that will provide their desired look for the finished product for your event or wedding day. Between our initial consultation and our face to face meeting, make a prioritized list to share with us at our face to face meeting. Be sure to have swatches, if you want colors to match and bring pictures of things you have seen that you like, but understand that everything you want may not be able to happen given your personal budget constraints. Once you have the complete proposal, think about and talk with your fiance about what is the most important and can not live with out or what is perhaps not as important to keep you in budget. Anything can be changed on the proposal. The reason we include everything on the proposal is so you know exactly what you are getting in advance.

A Memory Lane Event Weddings

Once you have hired us to assist you in the planning and coordinating of your event or wedding, and have made your decisions from the proposal, we assemble a design board with the color scheme, pictures of the details & elements that you have chosen. You can use the board to show family and friends what your event or wedding will look like. At any time you can add items, details or elements, however, be aware that additions will affect your bottom line. Please keep in mind that mind reading is NOT one of our skills. Be sure to SHARE information with us. You need to talk to us & keep us in the loop, phone us, send emails or a text messages, we’d rather hear you ask about something twice then not actually tell us about a detail, idea or consideration, then not hear about it all, as you thought about telling us and forgot, ran out of time, or dreamed you told us. We want your day to be as you have envisioned & strive to exceed your vision. In order to do so, we become a team with you. A team works best with communication. This is why we offer you unlimited phone, email & text messages.

Although we ARE in business to make money, but we are not out to take advantage of you -- if you share what your priorities and concerns are, we may be able to think of another way to get a similar effect to keep you in budget.

That’s nice you say. But event & wedding planners/coordinators are expensive. Extra cash is not exactly being left under the pillow while you sleep by the extra cash fairy. Let’s talk about cost. A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING COORDINATING has pre-assembled packages for every budget. We also allow you to custom build your own package and a package that charges a flat fee that ranges between 10-15% of your total wedding budget. We have the same type of packages for events. Fees are based upon the location(s), budget, total guest count and logistics of your personalized event or wedding. For example, if your wedding budget is $30,000, you may find yourself forking over as much as $4,500 for our services, if you only want to make decisions and not be overly involved in the planning and preparing time. Although this is understandably expensive it is well worth every penny and your piece of mind. A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING COORDINATORS have an extensive vendor and location pool that we trust to do the best possible work for our clients and in most cases are willing to offer discounts when you book them through us. We do not on bring anyone that we haven’t used several times for a variety of occasions.
