The Absolute Best Decision You Will Make - If I could give Brynn and her team at First Look Co. ten stars, I still don’t think it would be enough to capture how extraordinary she ...
truly is. Over a two year wedding planning journey, Brynn was the ultimate visionary, the most dedicated professional, and a steady, calming rock through every single step. Calling her "above and beyond" doesn't even do it justice.
From day one, Brynn’s attention to detail, thoughtful communication, and unwavering positivity set the tone for our entire experience. When we faced curveballs (including a venue change) Brynn handled every transition seamlessly. She took total charge, maintained flawless communication with all of our vendors, kept everyone aligned, and somehow kept the experience feeling joyful and completely stress free for us. She thought of every single detail long before anyone else even realized it was needed, ensuring that my family, our guests, and I felt completely cared for and supported throughout the entire process.
Her brilliant planning was never clearer than on our actual wedding day. The weather was completely unpredictable with rain coming on and off, and my heart was set on an outdoor ceremony. While anyone else might have pushed for the safe indoor backup, Brynn and her team worked absolute magic. She constantly monitored the radar, spotted a brief opening in the weather window, and seamlessly coordinated starting the ceremony slightly early so I could have the exact moment I had always dreamed of. Because of her composure, quick thinking, and impeccable execution, we had our entire ceremony outdoors, rain free, and it was pure perfection.
Brynn doesn't just plan events - she pours her heart into making dreams come true. Her calming energy, thoughtful care, and incredible expertise make her the absolute best of the best. If you want a wedding planner who will champion your vision, handle every detail with effortless grace, and deliver a day beyond your wildest expectations, First Look Co is the company you should go with. We are forever grateful for Brynn and her team!
I truly don’t even know where to begin when it comes to Brynn and First Look Events. She was beyond amazing from start to finish and gave our family the most magical wedding weeken...
d we ever could have imagined.
Brynn went above and beyond in every possible way. Her attention to detail, creativity, organization, and ability to make everything feel completely effortless far exceeded our expectations. She took our vision and somehow made it even better than we could have dreamed.
More importantly, Brynn genuinely cared about our family and about making the weekend special for all of us. Having her there allowed us to actually be present, enjoy every moment, and soak it all in without worrying about the countless details happening behind the scenes. There is absolutely no way we could have done it without her.
Our daughter's wedding weekend was truly magical, and Brynn was such a huge part of making that happen. We will forever be grateful to her for everything she did for our family. If you are lucky enough to have Brynn and First Look Events plan your wedding or special event, you are in the very best hands. She is simply incredible!
Sarah Gripa with First Look Events was an absolute life saver for my son and daughter in law’s wedding in Steamboat Springs on 9/19/26. We hired her in the summer of 2025, and she ...
graciously endured over a year of questions from us. She was always quick to respond, endlessly patient, and even stepped in to help with a couple of vendors who weren’t getting back to us—despite it not being part of her contract. That alone speaks volumes.
As the wedding day approached and rain crept into the forecast, Sarah was immediately on top of everything. She offered thoughtful solutions, kept everyone calm, and made sure the day would run smoothly no matter what. And yes, it rained. But Sarah was on it. She respected the bride and groom’s wish to keep the ceremony outside and worked swiftly—and calmly—to adjust the setup. Miraculously, the rain stopped just as the processional was about to begin.
I can’t imagine how stressful that moment must have been for her, but you would never have known it. She is a true professional in every sense. Without her, I honestly don’t know what we would have done.
Please do yourself a favor and do not hesitate to hire First Look Events. And if you’re lucky enough to get Sarah as your planner, you’ll understand why our entire extended family—and every guest we’ve spoken to—could not stop raving about her. Even my sister, who has very high standards, was blown away.
Sarah, I can’t thank you enough for making my kids so happy. Hannah even said, “This is my favorite life.” Awe. And you are undoubtedly a BIG part of that. All the gratitude and all the hugs to you and your team.
Sarah was the most amazing planner and made all our dreams come true for the most magical wedding!!! She is so organized and made the entire planning process so easy from start to ...
finish. Sarah and Brynn were so creative with our venue and making a live band fit with our guest size and dance floor wishes, taking a completely never done before idea and making it a reality. Everything was amazing and the space transformation was so beautiful and seamless, and it wouldn't have been possible without the First Look Team and Sarah.
Hiring Brynn with First Look Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She went above and beyond in every possible way to give us the wedding of our dreams, and...
somehow made the entire experience feel as thoughtful and meaningful as the day itself.
Brynn is the rare combination of exceptionally organized and endlessly creative. She ran a tight ship, kept every detail moving, and was a wonderful steward of our budget. She always helped us understand where to invest and found imaginative solutions without compromising the vision.
From our very first conversations, Brynn listened with such care and intuition that she seemed to understand what I wanted even before I could fully articulate it myself. She has a truly remarkable ability to take a collection of ideas, feelings, and little details and turn them into a vision that feels completely personal. She simply gets it. Because of that, I had complete confidence in her and could genuinely trust her to take the lead. The result was more beautiful, meaningful, and perfectly us than I ever could have imagined.
Her years of experience were evident in every aspect of the process. She anticipated needs before they arose, navigated every decision with confidence, and brought a sense of calm and command that only comes from truly knowing the industry. Her wonderful reputation and strong relationships with other vendors also helped us assemble an exceptional team of people who worked together seamlessly and shared her commitment to making the day extraordinary.
What sets Brynn apart most, though, is how deeply she cares. Her kindness, warmth, and steady presence carried us through every stage of the planning process. We never felt like just another wedding on her calendar. We felt genuinely known, supported, and cared for. She brought so much heart to her work, and that made an already special experience even more meaningful.
Brynn is a creative visionary, a consummate professional, and an extraordinarily lovely person. I began this process looking for a wedding planner, but by the end of it, I had also gained a true friend. We are endlessly grateful for everything she did for us, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you have the opportunity to work with Brynn and the First Look Events team, take it. You will be in the most capable and caring hands.
Alexandra at First Look Events was AMAZING! From the planning process through our wedding day, she made everything feel easy and seamless. We are not the best planners on our own, ...
and she kept us organized and on track every step of the way without ever making the process feel stressful.
On our wedding day, Alexandra anticipated things before they could ever become problems and handled every detail so we could just enjoy ourselves. She completely understood our vision and brought it to life even better than we imagined. Seeing the ceremony and reception spaces come together was incredible.
We truly could not have asked for a better planner and would recommend Alexandra and First Look Events to anyone!
Brynn did an amazing job guiding us through every step of the wedding planning process, from our very first meeting to the wedding day itself. She was always there with thoughtful ...
vendor recommendations, handled the day-of coordination seamlessly, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could truly relax and enjoy our day.
We are incredibly grateful for Brynn and her expertise. She brought our vision to life, and the day was everything we could have hoped for. Thank you, Brynn, for making our wedding so special!
Alexandra was everything we could have dreamed of in a wedding planner and more! She was always available to talk whether it be 8 in the morning or 8 at night. We looked forwar...
d to our video calls with her because she was always so positive and helpful. She honestly made planning our dream wedding a joy. She presented us with vendor selections she had previous experience with and left it up to us to choose which of her selections we would like which made the whole process so much easier than if we would have blindly went out to find vendors on our own. We had everything in place at least a month out from the wedding but she continued to check in with us to make sure we were feeling good about everything and if we had any questions. When it came to the day of the wedding, she was extremely helpful in keeping everything flowing correctly. Everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when---I don't think my water/cocktail glass ever touch the bottom. It honestly felt like we were in a dream and everything was PERFECT!!! I cannot recommend Alexandra enough for any type of wedding you want to have. She makes dreams a reality!!

Alexandra went above and beyond for our wedding! I never felt any stress and always fully trusted her judgement on decisions when we asked what she thought while planning! She was ...
exceptional in all aspects!!! The thought of organizing and planning a big wedding felt daunting until we met Alexandra—I felt like she held my hand through the whole planning process and I never worried that I was forgetting something because she was always on top of it. We never hesitated to share what we were thinking with Alexandra—she would present us with a few vendor options and for the most part we were able to find the perfect fit in those options, but if we ever wanted to see more options it was never an issue. Alexandra felt like a friend helping us plan our dream wedding and I can honestly say I will genuinely miss talking to her regularly!

, supportive, and incredibly organized, making the entire process feel effortless and enjoyable. Over the 18 months I worked with Alexandra, she took the time to understand our vision and brought every detail to life with care and professionalism. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer creative solutions whenever needed. Her attention to detail and proactive communication gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled perfectly. On our wedding day, Alexandra and her team exceeded all expectations. Every aspect of the day was seamlessly coordinated, allowing us, our families, and our guests to be fully present and enjoy the celebration. We are beyond grateful for Alexandra and and her team for creating such a beautiful and stress-free day. I could not recommend them more!!
My daughter's wedding was perfect!!! Alexandra did an amazing job. From the very first meeting, Alexandra made us feel completely at ease. She is organized, thoughtful, and genuine...
ly invested in our vision. (my daughter's vision) She spoke with my daughter every single day, making sure she felt heard, supported, and excited throughout the entire process. She personally communicated with every single vendor, ensuring everyone was aligned and nothing was left to chance. On the wedding day, her attentiveness was remarkable. She made sure the bride and groom were taken care of every step of the way, and every family member felt seen and welcomed. Nothing fell through the cracks. We didn't have to worry about a thing, which meant we could enjoy this beautiful wedding. Alexandra isn't just talented at what she does, she is a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
First Look Events — and Alexandra in particular — were absolutely incredible. They helped us pull off a large destination wedding in less than five months, all while my husband and...
I were navigating major job changes. I honestly don’t even want to imagine what the day would have been like without Alexandra leading the way.
When a family illness came up during the wedding, Alexandra went above and beyond — adjusting plans, stepping in where needed, and caring for both me and my mother with such kindness and professionalism. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my husband, our guests, and being fully present in the moment, knowing she had everything else handled. I’ll be forever grateful for her calm, capable presence and her truly thoughtful care.
Not even sure where to start - Brynn did an incredible job planning our daughter's wedding. All the preparation was flawlessly executed. During the week leading up to the wedding...
, with potentially inclement weather in the forecast, Brynn developed several alternative scenarios. The wedding ceremony was planned outside at a ranch in a picturesque venue, with the party inside in a tent. As we're prepping for the ceremony and the Mother/Father walk down the aisle with our daughter, the skies were turned 'somewhat' unfriendly and stormy. Brynn stayed calm, developed several alternatives, and quickly moved 200+/- guests from the Ceremony venue to the Tent, with no even a broken nail. What a spectacular event, overall - HIGHLY recommend Brynn!
First Look Events was the single best decision we made for our wedding! From our very first call, Sarah put us at ease and walked beside us through every step of the journey. As an...
out-of-state couple with a Colorado destination wedding, we can’t express how reassuring it was to have someone local we could trust completely.
Sarah anticipated the things we didn’t know to ask, handled every detail with such care, and even welcomed our (last minute ! ) shipments into her own home to make things easier on us for items we couldn’t travel with. Those little acts of kindness showed us just how much she genuinely cares.
When our wedding day came, Sarah delivered something beyond what we had imagined. Every detail, from the design to the timing to the vendor coordination, was executed so flawlessly that we never once had to worry. There wasn’t a single hiccup, and because of Sarah, we were able to be fully present, soaking in the joy of the day with our loved ones. We also were lucky enough to have the owner of First Look Events, Brynn Swanson, pitch in on the big day and I’ve never seen a better dream team in action - Sarah and Brynn are veterans in wedding/event planning and the type of team you want on your side!
It’s also so clear how respected and well-established First Look Events is in the wedding vendor community; their strong relationships with vendors made everything seamless and stress-free. Sarah and her team are not only professionals at what they do, they’re warm, thoughtful, and deeply invested in creating the most beautiful experience for their couples. If you are planning a Colorado mountain wedding or a destination wedding, I’m telling you - you don’t need to look any further!!
Sarah, Brynn and the team are the ones who will make your dream day come true.
Using Brynn with First Look Events was truly the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process. From the very first call, she brought such calm, confidence, and genui...
ne excitement that instantly made me feel at ease.
Brynn handled every detail flawlessly — from vendor communication and timeline management to the smallest personal touches that made the day feel so “us.” No question was ever too small, no change ever too last-minute. She anticipated things before I even thought of them, and it showed in how smoothly everything ran.
On the wedding day itself, Brynn was a total rockstar — calm, organized, and somehow everywhere at once. She was able to help us pivot and handle over 200 guests when a storm came in mid ceremomy. My family and bridal party kept saying how incredible she was. Because of her, my husband and I were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment.
I can’t imagine our wedding without Brynn. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner — do it, and make sure it’s this one. You’ll be so grateful you did!
Hiring Brynn was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding — and that’s coming from someone who originally thought a planner wasn’t necessary. I couldn’t have been more wro...
ng. Even as a very type-A bride with a deeply involved mom, there are so many things that would have fallen through the cracks without her.
From the very beginning, Brynn impressed us with her professionalism and organization. She communicates quickly, is incredibly thorough, and really project-managed the wedding for us from start to finish. She took the time to understand what was most important to us, listened to feedback, and worked patiently with my mom (who was very involved!) throughout the process.
Since she’s from Steamboat Springs, she knows the area so well and connected us with several wonderful local vendors. But she also has deep connections in Denver — and we actually chose some of those vendors too. It was clear that if you’re planning a wedding anywhere in Colorado, Brynn will know the right people to bring your vision to life.
She constantly thought three steps ahead — in the weeks leading up and on the day of, any question we asked, she had already anticipated and had a plan in place. As someone who cared deeply about certain details, I especially appreciated how Brynn balanced supporting my vision with sharing her honest perspective when something might be logistically challenging. Her honesty, experience, and problem-solving made all the difference.
On top of all that, Brynn is warm, funny, and truly loving. She brought such a calm and positive energy to every conversation and every moment of the wedding weekend. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without her — she made it not only seamless, but joyful.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, take it from me: don’t hesitate. Brynn is amazing.

We worked with First Look Events for our big backyard wedding on 8/16! We worked closely with Alexandra to have our vision come to life. From keeping Grandma calm, to pulling off t...
he party of the decade, Alexandra was our girl! We wanted an unconventional ceremony and reception, Alexandra helped us pull off a surprise entrance, had the best vendor recommendations, was super organized, professional, detail oriented, and fun. She always advocated for my needs, stayed true to our vision, and truly took any stress out of the process. Day of she was beyond prepared, we were able to be so present with our friends and family. Our wedding was a 220 person party in my 91 year old grandmas back yard, it was a huge undertaking and Alexandra executed it perfectly. The whole team Alexandra pulled together was incredible and it was truly the best day of our lives! I am so sad the planning is over and I think a huge part of that is not having a reason to text Alexandra with new ideas and questions. 10/10 would recommend First Look and Alexandra!!!
We could not be more grateful for Brynn Swanson and First Look Events! Our wedding weekend was everything we dreamed of and then some. Brynn was incredible to work with from start ...
to finish—she brought all of our visions to life while adding her own creative ideas (beautiful chandeliers, a floral/tree of life escort card table, etc.) that made everything even more special! Her vendor recommendations were spot on, and it’s clear she has built such wonderful relationships in the industry, which made the whole planning process seamless.
What meant the most to us was being able to truly relax and enjoy our wedding day, knowing Brynn and her amazing team had every detail handled. We were able to be fully present, and that was exactly what we wanted. We can’t recommend First Look Events enough—Brynn made our dream day a reality.
Brynn and her team at First Look Events created our DREAM weekend! From the very beginning, Brynn was amazing, along with all the vendors she recommended to us. She took time to ge...
t to know us as a couple, and truly understand what we envisioned for our destination wedding weekend. We had a blast together creating an unique wedding ceremony and reception. We were able to enjoy the entire weekend without worrying about a thing. As someone who is pretty particular - Brynn blew me away with how everything turned out (tears were shed at the reception reveal). I could go on and on! We highly recommend First Look Events!

Brynn also clearly has amazing relationships with all of the vendors. The teamwork across the board truly blew us away & everyone wanted to go above and beyond for Brynn (and us!). It made our day stress free and FUN! Thank you, Brynn, for everything! We had the best day of our lives!!!
Working with Brynn has been an absolute dream! From the very moment we met her we knew we made the right choice because of her professionalism, experience, adaptability & creativit...
y. Our wedding venue was pretty much just a tent so that meant we had to bring in a ton of vendors and really build our wedding from the ground up. Brynn was paramount in helping us develop a clear vision & sourcing the right linens, tableware etc. to bring the aesthetic to life. I'm someone who is very on top of things generally but I was definitely overwhelmed at various points throughout the process and Brynn was so incredible to have by our side! We always felt taken care of and that everything would happen exactly as it should. The wedding itself was pretty much perfect and if anything went wrong I wouldn't know because Brynn's team did amazing job managing our vendors and ensuring everything went according to plan. I highly recommend FLE for planning & design services - you won't be disappointed!
Brynn Swanson of First Look Events is absolutely the BEST!

I can’t express enough how incredibly grateful I am to have had Brynn by my side throughout the entire wedding planning process. From suggesting other vendors that perfectly fit ou...
r vibe to including my favorite Denver bakery in our tablescapes— she was dedicated to making our wedding day come to life in the most personal, thoughtful, and meaningful way possible.
Brynn took the time to learn about us, our love story, and our values. There were so many parts to the wedding that made it uniquely us and that was all a product of Brynn's creativity. Whether it was the personalized seating chart wall with our photography, or the custom coaster place cards, these thoughtful touches at the reception made our guests feel like family, it felt like us.
I honestly can't thank Brynn enough for creating such a beautiful and memorable day. If you want a wedding that is flawlessly organized, uniquely tailored to your style, and filled with love, I cannot recommend Brynn enough!
We can't say enough great things about Brynn and First Look. Brynn really took time to get to know each of us individually and as a couple and from there helped us envision, design...
and ultimately execute the most beautiful and special wedding. Her design vision and recommendations were critical to bringing our vision to life and it was better than we could even imagine. Without Brynn and her team our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as magical and it truly reflected us, and brought the people that mean the most to us together for a truly memorable and special day. She made the process fun, less stressful and ultimately provided us with a day that we will remember for the rest of our life. She is organized and professional, ensuring that even when we had a hiccup during the day that the vendor corrected the issue and refunded us. Her attentiveness to our needs before, during and after the wedding was unmatched. Hiring Brynn was the single best decision we made in our wedding planning process!
From the very first meeting, it was clear that Brynn was not just a wedding planner, but a true partner in crafting our special day. She communicated clearly and consistently, ensu...
ring that we were always informed and comfortable with the planning process. Brynn's attention to detail was remarkable; she anticipated our needs and preferences, making thoughtful suggestions that elevated our vision into a stunning reality!! Brynn seamlessly coordinated with vendors (SOOO thankful for this) allowing us to focus on enjoying the journey. I genuinely believe that without Brynn's expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the magical experience it turned out to be.
Working with Alexandra from First Look was such a treat. She was patient, kind, and made sure to keep our non-traditional wedding true to us and what we were hoping to experience. ...
From helping us communicate with every vendor, to answering every silly question we had, we got an experience that was specifically tailored to us. Alexandra respected and appreciated our needs and vision, and was an invaluable resource throughout the process. Not only that, but she pulled off an amazing event day-of, and we didn't worry about anything. I was SO much more relaxed than I could have ever thought I would be on my wedding day. Even our guests commented that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to! We were actually so sad to say goodbye to Alexandra, she is such a wonderful person to be around. We can't recommend her and First Look enough!
When we got engaged in 2022, we nearly immediately knew that our engagement would be two years rather than one due to the effects Covid had on the venue market. Even though two yea...
rs seems like enough time to book a wedding, anyone who has gone through wedding planning can agree that more time is better than less. Which is exactly why we chose Brynn as our wedding planner, who soon became a close friend of ours.
Brynn has a way of putting everything as ease in those stressful situations, she is always smiling and having fun, her organization is immaculate when it comes to reaching check points and organizing bi-weekly zoom meetings, but most noticed is that she truly cares about her clients and the production of weddings. In the 1.5 years we spent with Brynn, not only were we more than satisfied with her professionalism, but more importantly she became somebody that will always be our friend. We cannot recommend First Look Events enough- you will be in great hands!
Love,
The Reardons
We chose First Look Events after talking with other party and wedding planning companies. First Look’s business and planning model is reasonable and makes sense compared to others ...
so it was a no brainer. Brynn was super sweet and thorough in our initial talk.
Alexandra was assigned as our planner and there by our side every step of the way - from site visits to vendor selection through every final little last minute detail. We have insanely hectic schedules and she was patient and understanding but also great at cracking the whip to keep us on schedule! By the time the party was here, we had no worries or question marks and were able to just relax and have fun. The vendors they connected us with knocked it out of the park and created a truly fabulous party.
It turns out party planning is stressful! Could not be more grateful for First Look and most importantly Alexandra for helping us create such special memories with our friends and family. So glad she was there with us and now consider her a friend <3 If you’re considering First Look, I highly recommend!

ique elements that truly represented us as a couple. Brynn has a way of being able to understand and articulate what I wanted even when I couldn't find the right way to communicate it. Her attention to detail was unmatched and she was always trying to come up with new innovative ideas that haven't been done in other weddings. We had some unexpected complications come up with a vendor the week of the wedding, and Brynn seamlessly jumped into action to find a solution by using her contacts in the area. I had complete trust in Brynn and her team during the wedding weekend, and we were able to enjoy our time with friends and family without any worries. Brynn has such a calming presence that constantly reassured me during a stressful planning period. She was such a pleasure to work with and we are so grateful to have found her. Thank you, Brynn, for giving us our dream wedding!
From the moment we began working with Brynn at First Look Events, it was clear that we were in expert hands. Brynn's exceptional talent and dedication were evident throughout the e...

Brynn's expertise in every aspect of wedding planning was remarkable. She had an incredible ability to understand our ideas and transform them into a beautiful reality. Her recommendations for vendors were spot-on, each one carefully chosen to align perfectly with our style and preferences. It was evident that Brynn has a deep knowledge of the industry and a keen eye for detail, which made a significant difference in the overall execution of our wedding.
What truly set Brynn apart, though, was her genuine kindness and commitment to making us feel comfortable and supported. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, often going out of her way to address our concerns and accommodate our needs. Her warm and approachable demeanor on full display our wedding day with thoughtful touches and check-ins to make sure we had anything and everything we needed.
Thanks to Brynn's hard work and dedication, our wedding day was nothing short of magical. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and support, and we wholeheartedly recommend Brynn Swanson and First Look Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines expertise with a personal touch. Thank you, Brynn, for making our special day everything we dreamed it would be!

rst Look Team ASAP. Brynn really got to know my husband and I and created the most meaningful and personal design for our wedding day. She worked with vendors and created a design that was out of this world- everything we were looking for. Her attention to detail and ability to go outside the wedding norm makes her weddings impeccable. Vendors are dying to work with her and all the vendors I know always told me she makes the wedding day so amazing. It was a no brainer she was going to be the person for us. The wedding day itself was stress free and we were able to be so present because of Brynn. Her attention to detail and timelines and communication with vendors created the most amazing, present environment for not only me and my husband, but for our parents to enjoy. Brynn has become a dear friend to us and I can't wait to hire for all of our big events in the future. She is truthfully the best at her craft! I miss talking to her every day, thats how much she makes an impacts on all of her bride's lives.
I am so grateful to have had Alexandra as our wedding planner! We had initially worked with a planner from another company who wasn't organized or enthusiastic, and after we found ...
First Look Events, let go of the other planner, and started working with Alexandra, everything went really well. She is organized, excited, kind, understanding, thoughtful, professional, all of the best things you want in a planner when you go through the wedding planning process. The day of our wedding was an absolute dream because of Alexandra. She handled everything with ease and grace. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding the best day of our lives, you are amazing!!
It’s no wonder Brynn and First Look Events have planned 3 weddings in our family, and why we’ve referred her to every bride and groom we know getting married in Colorado.

Brynn has this incredible knack for understanding exactly what you want, even when you can't quite put it into words yourself. She took our scattered ideas and transformed them into a cohesive and breathtaking event that exceeded every expectation we had.
The attention to detail was mind-blowing. Every flower, every table setting, every tiny detail was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly everything ran.
Speaking of running smoothly, Brynn is a logistical wizard. She handled everything from coordinating vendors to managing timelines with such ease that we were able to relax and truly enjoy our day without a single worry. That peace of mind is priceless.
Beyond her organizational skills, Brynn is just an absolute pleasure to work with. She has this calming presence that is so reassuring during what can be a stressful time. She listened to our ideas, offered invaluable advice, and always made us feel like our wedding was her top priority.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day special, look no further than Brynn and First Look Events. She is not just a planner, but a true artist and a friend who genuinely cares about making your wedding day as perfect as it can be.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Brynn, for giving us the wedding of our dreams. You're simply the best!
We had an amazing experience with First Look Events, and specifically with our wedding planner, Alexandra Turner. We hired First Look a little later than expected due to having a b...
ad experience with the first wedding planner we hired at another company- and we are SO grateful that we found Alexandra after that! Alexandra was truly excellent. She was detail-oriented, organized, and so responsive to emails/ texts leading up to our big day. I had multiple DIY projects going to help make my vision a reality, and Alexandra was both gracious and helpful in making my vision come to life.
Our wedding turned out to be absolutely magical, and we have Alexandra and the First Look Events staff to thank for that! They handled everything from the beginning of tent setup to the extra tear-down at the end of the night due to said DIY projects, and everything ran smoothly and wonderfully. I honestly think it was the perfect wedding, although I know that Alexandra and her staff were running around behind the scenes to make it so. Alexandra and her staff also went out of their way to make our guest experience wonderful- we decided to have a buffet meal for our wedding, and Alexandra and her staff coordinated meals to be served to two of our tables with elderly guests who were uncomfortable standing in line. It's this attention to detail that made Alexandra such a wonderful person to have behind the scenes at our wedding.
First Look Events has planned many of my friends' weddings, and they have all been distinct, beautiful, and reflective of each individual couple. From a winter wedding at the Brown Palace to our summer garden party at Chatfield Farms, this team really knows how to design and execute a flawless event for each unique couple, which is such a gift. Our wedding had so many personal touches that Alexandra helped us coordinate, and she directed all of the other vendors professionally, promptly, and with great success. There were quite a few things that I was particular about when it came to my wedding day and Alexandra really made sure those things were to my liking and exactly as I wanted them to be. Alexandra also took over all of the specific details with vendors a few months ahead of our wedding, which really helped me relax and enjoy the experience much more than I could have without her.
We highly, highly recommend Alexandra and the First Look Events staff for your event. It was the best money we spent as I could've never pulled off an event of this size without Alexandra's guidance and help. She was truly wonderful. Thank you so much for everything, Alexandra and Brynn. We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and appreciate you all so much!
We feel incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Brynn for our wedding. Not only did she save the day when we had our original venue back out of our contract (while she was on ...
vacation no less!) she went above and beyond to make sure we had an ideal new plan in place before the week was even through. She cares about her clients and showcasing their individuality through her creative design, bringing everything together into one cohesive and unique vision without feeling rote or "like any other wedding" - it really felt like Us. Anytime we had a question, she had an answer, and assured us throughout the planning process that we didn't have to worry. She knew answers to things we would have never thought to ask as well. On the wedding day, she and her team made sure we felt absolutely taken care of. We even had one guest ask her "can you help manage my life?" when they saw how incredibly she handled everything for our wedding. Needless to say, our wedding day would not have been the same without for Brynn and her team. We can't thank her enough.
Alexandra Turner From First Look Events expertly managed our May 18, 2024 wedding in Boulder, CO. "Managed" doesn't begin to cover all that she did to make the event a triumph. She...
applied her knowledge and experience to all details – contracts, negotiations, budgets, coordination among vendors, resources, etc. She handled all interactions professionally and competently. (And with good cheer and enthusiasm.) Alexandra is a talented designer, who styled the look and vibe of the event beyond our expectations. She knew of resources and possibilities that created a smooth process with many amazing, creative professionals. Thanks to her, the planning process was enjoyable with minimal stress. We got to enjoy the creative decisions and fun details without the anxiety that is so commonly associated with planning a wedding.
Not only was the planning handled expertly, the wedding weekend was an amazing success thank you in large part to Alexandra and her team. Alexandra managed the entire day so that we arrived to a venue designed perfectly in line with the vision we had all created as a team during the planning. The day itself ran smoothly and on time. While we are sure plenty was going on behind the scenes, Alexandra and the First Look Team were positive and helpful at every turn. The result was a gorgeous atmosphere where we, our families, and all of our guests felt comfortable, happy, and able to enjoy a really great party.
She made it easier at every decision-making point in the process. We really could not have done it without her.
I was so impressed with First Look Events. I first contacted Brynn right after I got engaged and she was wonderful over the phone. I talked to several other wedding planners and Br...
ynn felt like the most professional, experienced, lovely to work with, and the best fit for me. Additionally, Brynn's prices were lower than some of the other vendors but her quality even over the first phone call was so much stronger. Brynn designed and helped with the early planning of my wedding. Brynn's designs were thoughtful, stunning, and perfectly me and my now husband. I really respect her creative genius as she really was able to design my dream wedding! I don't have a great design sense, so I was so impressed with how she was able to take my wants, desires, and life experiences and turn it into something beautiful. Brynn was very responsive to emails and an absolute joy to work with. Brynn helped us stay within budget and was always very honest about how we could cut costs or get a better deal. All of the vendors recommended by Brynn were fantastic to work with and I really appreciated Brynn's honesty for assistance with the selection process. Lindsay then helped with our month-of and day-of planning. Lindsay was so on-top of everything and ensured my day went wonderfully. She is incredibly detail-oriented and made sure that all of our ducks were in a row for our perfect day. Lindsay also was very responsive over email and wonderful to work with. I consider Brynn and Lindsay dear friends of mine now and I am so grateful for them. My mom also adores Brynn and Lindsay and speaks very highly of them. Our wedding went incredibly smoothly and I felt so secure leaving my full trust in Brynn and Lindsay's hands. I seriously would recommend First Look to anyone. Reasonably priced, highly professional, incredibly high quality work, and wonderful women. 10/10!
Brynn was an amazing resource while planning our wedding and she allowed us to enjoy our day! Everything went better than expected and we would recommend Brynn/First Look to anyone...

g vibes to life in ways that we didn't even know was possible. First Look has incredible relationships with vendors all across Colorado and are able to tap into them to basically provide you with anything you can dream up. I feel confident that the phrase “we can’t do that” is something this incredible company of women has never said.
This is the wedding planner you want to have your back on the day of your wedding. Had you asked me the night of my wedding if anything went wrong, I would have told you no, but little did I know that there were multiple hiccups that happened with the venue day of (to no fault of Brynn’s) that these gals took care of so seamlessly, my guests and I would have never known. Brynn and her team have such a calming presence and do such a good job making sure that you have everything you need on your wedding day. Be it, keeping the flow of events moving to stick to schedule, pinning my wedding dress when I found out minutes before walking down the aisle that one of the tacks had come loose and I was at risk of flashing the entire audience, or making sure that every perfect surprise that we had planned for our guests ran smoothly and that my husband and I had a front row seat for them all with a glass of champagne in hand.
I have now seen Brynn and her team plan multiple of my friends' weddings and every one of them had very distinct and different feeling that perfectly captured the couple getting married. The only thing I would have done differently for my wedding is signed with First Look Events sooner and not wasted time interviewing other wedding planners.

I hired a wedding planner because everyone told me I should. I truly didn't appreciate how important it is to have that resource on your team. Brynn, owner of First Look Events c...
ame very highly recommended from a good friend. Once hired, Brynn immediately discussed with my daughter and me our vision, likes and dislikes and budget. We had a good idea what we wanted, however Brynn elevated every aspect and provided incredible resources to execute the ceremony and reception. The wedding was in a large hotel ballroom. Brynn and her team created a winter wonderland that was elegant, personal and gave a nod to my daughter and her (now!) husband. During the planning, any issue that came up, Brynn had a creative idea or a fix. The installation, management and execution of every detail the evening of the wedding was over the top. Brynn had a detailed schedule for all vendors (i.e., the hotel, florist, photographer and band). she was in close touch with all of us the day of to ensure everyone was on schedule. During the dinner and reception she managed all of the vendors and checked in with all of us throughout the night. When the reception was over, Brynn and her team packed up everything and delivered items to the bridal suite. When my daughter walked into the suite after the after party, the suite was cleaned up and her gown was hung. I have since learned there were sizable issues in getting all of the decor items up to the ballroom. However Brynn took care of everything, we found out the following day the problem solving/battle she was having with the hotel. She is a pro beyond words. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lindsay from First Look Events was absolutely incredible. When I was searching for my wedding planner, I wanted a "month-of" planner because my venue required it, but I had planned...
to do just about everything myself. About two months before the big day, Lindsay made sure we connected, and she literally changed the wedding planning experience for me. She took on the tasks that were overwhelming for me, she reassured me that we were in this together, and she helped me make decisions when I was experiencing burnout. I was not the easiest bride (who is?), but Lindsay advocated for my needs with vendors and helped me find humor in the guests who weren't invited but still attended ;) Lindsay is basically a wedding planner, a florist, a therapist, and a gatekeeper all at once.
Hear me when I say that out of everything we spent money on for our entire wedding, having Lindsay as my wedding planner was the best and more important money I ever spent. I cannot recommend Lindsay and First Look Events enough, fr!
Alexandra and Brynn were absolute lifesavers! I came in without much of a vision for our wedding. I was clueless about design aspects in every direction. I told them to go for it o...
n design choices, and they truly delivered! We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding and every single guest was truly in awe! The day of, I did not worry about a thing because they were there every step of the way! My mom continues to rave about Alexandra every time we speak. We were incredibly lucky to have her! I absolutely could not have survived without both Brynn and Alexandra. Thank you SO much again!
Cannot put into words how thankful we were to have Brynn & First Look Events as part of our wedding. We were fortunate enough to start working with Brynn over a year before our wed...
ding and we are sooo happy we did. She knew us like family and had our likes/dislikes in mind throughout the entire planning process and planned our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. She let us schedule as many meetings/calls as we needed and answered every text we sent her within the day. She recommended a list of vendors to us for each aspect of the wedding and it was so helpful having a shorter list to choose from especially since there are so many out there these days. We also couldn’t be happier with the vendors she suggested. Brynn and are team are so creative and came up with so many thoughtful and unique ideas that we would have never thought of on our own. Everyone told us to be ready for something to go wrong day of and when I say absolutely nothing went wrong that day it is 100% because of Brynn and the First Look team. Could not recommend using First Look Events more.
I'm fairly certain Brynn is a magician. Or a wizard. Most likely both! There was no detail left untouched when it came to curating our perfect day. Brynn handled every step of the ...
planning process with grace, professionalism, an immaculate sense of attention to detail, and more importantly she made us feel like she was our friend who had our best interest in mind every step of the way. I can be a control freak and she allowed me to guide things when I wanted, but she also took the reins when I needed her direction. She always had a plan or a unique, creative idea to bring to the table if we ever ran into a roadblock. The wedding day was absolutely perfect and she brought our entire vision to life, adding in special thoughtful surprises for us that really took the whole day to the next level. Any curve ball that was thrown Brynn's way she handled with ease, sometimes even behind the scenes because she didn't want to disrupt us or cause any stress. She helped put together the most rock star team of vendors who all absolutely crushed their role in our perfect day. I can't say enough things about this incredible woman, planner, visionary, and now friend! If you do anything for your wedding, hire Brynn!!!!
There really are know words to express much we appreciate Brynn and First Look Events.. One always wonders “Do I really need a wedding planner?” The answer is yes, yes you do. ...
The attention to every little detail certainly would have been missed by anyone else. That being said, when Brynn and her team really went into action was when issues arose. Most times we weren’t even aware of “situations” as they quietly took care of everything behind the scenes. However if we did know of something it was impressive to watch Brynn take care of business. Her work and reputation commands respect from every vendor we dealt with. If we were working with First Look Events people went out of their way to make sure things were done right. Cannot recommend enough!
The best decision I made for my wedding was hiring First Look Events! I have known Brynn for a few years so I was excited that she was going to be planning my wedding. She was very...
involved in the entire process and made the whole experience very smooth and fun! She really cared about my husband and I as a couple and wanted to really personalize this process for us. She helped us select each vendor for our style and made sure she executed the vision that she and I created together. The week of the wedding we had an issue with a vendor saying they could not follow through with their contract. Brynn was able to make sure I remained calm and had no stress while behind the scenes she was working on coming up with a solution. Within a 24-hour period of hearing the other company bailed, she came up with a solution that ended up being even better than the original plan. We could not have been in better hands. Guests are still calling us saying how perfect our wedding was and how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Brynn and First Look- thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day a dream come true.
