Why Our Clients Consider Us the Best Fort Collins Wedding Planner
While we could share all the little details about how we pour our heart and soul into each wedding and event, we’d rather you consider what our clients have to say. One of the most essential steps in choosing a wedding planner is reading client testimonials. They give you a peek into what it’s really like to have the Mountainside Events team by your side throughout the planning process.
“The Best Decision Ever–Hire Taylor”

“After about 5 minutes on my initial phone call with Taylor, I knew I wanted to hire her and her incredible team on my big day. She was one of the first vendors I hired right after I booked my venue, and it was one of the BEST DECISIONS I could've made throughout the planning process. Even though I only hired her for day-of event coordination, Taylor was there for me and my husband the entire time, answering questions, giving recommendations & advice, getting quotes for rentals, etc. I also found my DJ - Salazar Productions & Dessert Bar - Starlight Loveland, who was also amazing, through her. It was such a weight off our shoulders having Taylor coordinate with all our vendors the month leading up. She also coordinated our timeline and kept the day moving along so smoothly. It was AWESOME. She also gave directions as our venue was not the easiest to find. We also had quite a bit of DIY decorations we brought, which she & her assistant had set all up perfectly to how we envisioned and then tore them down neatly and carefully into their boxes at the end of the night. I would hire Taylor and her team 1000x over again as she did an amazing job, and we're forever grateful. THANK YOU, TAYLOR & MOUNTAINSIDE EVENTS!!!” - Michael & Sam
“11/10 Stars!”

“BEST EVER! 11/10 stars! Taylor went above and beyond to be helpful, thoughtful, and always patient. There were a LOT of opinions on how our special day should unfold/look/go, and Taylor made sure to be respectful of our wishes while keeping our families and guests in mind. She was so helpful and really knows her craft. Taylor went out of her way to do everything from giving us a hug when needed to fixing a timing issue with our dinner. She was stellar, trustworthy, fun, and above all, a true friend during the entire process. I not only HIGHLY RECOMMEND her, but I can honestly say that our day would not have run as seamlessly as it did without her. Taylor - We are so proud to have worked with you!! Thank you!” - Sophia & Dylan
“Wedding Was Perfect!”

“Taylor and her team at Mountainside Events were the driving force behind what so many guests at our wedding called “the best wedding they’ve ever attended.” When we decided to get married at my parents' property in Colorado, we quickly realized that since we live out of state, we needed help coordinating vendors and just planning in general.
Taylor met with us early on in the process and went over decisions that we would need to make, took the time to get to know us and our preferences, and began to create a timeline for when we would need to make these decisions. All of this was extremely helpful to create the type of event we wanted and to make sure that we kept everything on track! All of the vendors that we were connected with were top-of-the-line professionals who truly love what they do.
Juli and Juan’s catering was show-stopping and a true highlight. Working with John Robson for photography was an absolute joy, and our photos turned out beautifully. Rob Salazar was a wonderful DJ, NOCO Staffing kept the service impeccable and the drinks flowing, and to finish it off, Flexx Productions set us up with a tent that looked straight out of a Disney movie. On the day of our wedding, it was truly the team at Mountainside Events that made it what it was. I could not have asked for a better group of individuals to help us celebrate our big day and will forever be grateful for their assistance in ushering in this new chapter in our lives. If you are planning a wedding in Northern Colorado, in my opinion, the only option is to go with Taylor and Mountainside Events. You will be amazed! Our wedding went seamlessly and was enjoyed by all!” - Evan & Leah

While I’m not wearing my Fort Collins wedding planner hat, you can find me spending time with my wife and daughter, sitting on the Advisory Committee for Front Range Community College’s Hospitality Management Program (after three semesters as a professor), and planning fun events with my NOCO Staffing team (the other business I co-founded!).
I also have an amazing, growing team of planners! Here’s a bit more about them.
