Promise Event Planners

s and perfectly covered every base. She helped us feel heard and understood all while making it feel like I had a friend at my side. She is so incredibly kind and caring as well as hard working. Even through frustrations with the venue she stayed calm, keeping it together and helping us stay focused. She will be honest with you if you want her to be which feels like it can be hard to find in the wedding world when money is being thrown around so many different directions she makes you feel comfortable and confident that your making the right decisions all while staying realistic. I could go on and on but if theres one thing to take away from this, its that Payton takes her job very seriously, all while doing it with the kindest heart and genuine feelings. She made our most important day unforgettable, I would have her plan every other aspect of my life if I could!!! 

vision into something truly memorable. Our wedding day ran smoothly and was absolutely beautiful! 

y to work with. She not only helped us bring our vision to life but also carried us through the stressful moments (and a few lil mental breakdowns) with grace, patience, and reassurance. Her connections in the industry are amazing, every vendor she recommended was the best of the best, and thanks to her relationships, we were able to save money without ever sacrificing quality. Because of her, wedding weekend itself was flawless. Me, my husband and my family didn’t have to lift a finger, every single detail was handled beautifully, and everything came together more perfectly than I ever could have imagined. What stands out most is how Payton made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. She became someone we could truly count on, and honestly the best part of this whole process was that along the way, we gained a genuine friend that we'll have for life. My husband and I will always be grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and expertise she brought to every step of the process. Payton we LOVE YOU!!!

rado, of the entire country (including Texas and thus the world). Payton was on top of everything. Every month she would have a personalized to do list for you and your partner. Personally tailored. Her services and work were so tailored it made it feel like you were her only client. She is also point blank, will incorporate what you like with what will work. What is realistic and what is functional. This means on wedding day everything functions smoothly. It’s the perfect combination. Payton is a close friend now and she will always have a seat at our table. I would trust her for anything. In fact I found out what hair extensions were and Payton’s dedication to making my now wife happy in the same phone call. Payton is one of one. In summation: if you want the best wedding, your dream wedding, you want the best vendor selection from your budget, you want the best night for your guests: You hire Payton Ellis and you don’t think twice.

ood timeline so that the day was relatively stress-free. She rolled with all the random changes that happened during that 14 month period and helped us navigate them too! As I'm sure you can imagine, planning a destination wedding weekend is a full task, and Payton helped us plan everything. She even helped us track out budget even though different people and groups were paying for different things! It was wonderful! Payton is 100% in your corner throughout the whole process. Our venue tried to pull some shady moves and she helped us navigate the awkward conversations as well as the come to a needed resolution. Getting to know her over the last year plus, I can easily say that (other than my husband) she was the best decision we made with regards to our wedding. I'm actually kind of sad that I don't get to text her anymore, because she becomes a friend. Planning such a large event with a friend is really what you need and want in a planner, and that's Payton and Promise Event Planners.

ing was perfect in every way, and Payton's insight, suggestions, resources, and execution helped make it a day we will never forget. Incredibly organized, forward thinking, and a reliable problem-solver with creative insight are just a few of the many talents she brought to the table during all phases of the wedding planning process. She always had an answer for every question and a solution to every challenge ... her creativity and ideas were spot on ... her resources and suggestions for vendors were top notch ... so communicative ... calm and decisive in every situation ... her attention to detail was so reassuring ... and her intuitive approach throughout the many, many months of planning helped keep us on track and in control. Payton was with us every step of the way ... and on wedding day, she was incredibly in control and on top of every single detail. It truly was a stress free day, in large part due to Payton, who went above and beyond to make sure our daughter's and future son-in-law's special day was everything they dreamed it could be. The most beautiful smile, a fun and joyful person to work with, a problem-solver extraordinaire, the best wedding planner ever!

ork with their team for our wedding. There was such a level of ease working alongside Payton planning for 18 months. Her willingness to come to vendor meetings, meet with my husband and I over coffee, always being available for a quick text -- meant so much to us. Payton has a great network in the Denver/Colorado area and connected us to so many wonderful vendors who provided deals because of her partnership and relationships. Payton also brought so many ideas and solutions to our day, and did so with grace. My wedding dress was a 2 in 1 and I planned to surprise my groom on the dance floor, which she was so helpful with and ensured it was executed perfectly. Which we also went viral on instagram with 16 million views -- as she deserves for all of her hard work. We also had two ceremonies the same day, which she ensured we were timely and pacing well with balancing both of those. We couldn't suggest Payton and her team enough to someone for their wedding. She travels out of state too so I'd consider her if you were looking to have your wedding outside of Colorado.

m any of our big dreams for our wedding day! Payton has some of THE BEST vendors on speed dial that seriously blew our mind and were the perfect fit for what we were looking for. Some even gave us a discount on their services simply because Payton was our planner and jumped at the opportunity to work with her again. If that doesn't speak volumes I don't know what does!! Payton is also VERY organized and stays calm, cool and collected no matter the situation. During our wedding weekend, myself and my husband didn't have to lift a finger because Payton had thought of everything and managed the timeline of the day flawlessly. We were absolutely blown away with how she brought our design vision to life at every event, and many of the guests made a point to tell us it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to. Even when the weather got a little hairy right before we began the ceremony and I was frustrated and emotional, she never showed an ounce of stress or worry. She gave me a big hug and ensured me that there was nothing that was going to stop us from having the most perfect day (and she was right!). Payton truly feels like part of the family now and we hope we will be lucky enough to see her again soon. 🤍

it would have gone without her. She made sure everything flowed perfectly, and her attention to detail meant that everyone, from the vendors to the guests, knew exactly what to do and when, all without a hint of stress. Plus, she fit right in with our family and friends, making everyone feel cared for. She wasn’t just our planner, she was part of the celebration. Highly recommend!

de that kept me calm and laughing through it all. The weekend of the wedding I cannot even IMAGINE what any of it would have been like without her. She kept everything running so smoothly and treated my friends and family like her own. Everyone from vendors to the guests to the bride & groom knew where to be and what to be doing at all times without feeling rushed or overwhelmed thanks to Payton. And most importantly, she was part of the party. I enjoyed every second of sharing the day with her, she even fed me snacks pre-ceremony when I realized I hadn't eaten. 100000/10 could not have done this without her.

idance was unmatched. Payton made our wedding incredible, a day my wife and I will never forget. We could not recommend her enough.

the most beautiful day. I can confidently say I was not worried about a single thing my entire wedding weekend because Payton had everything taken care of. She was on site managing everything from our welcome party, to our wedding night and everything turned out better than I had imagined. Her expertise and professionalism was also incredibly helpful during all of the planning leading up to the weekend and she was always available for all of my questions, and to attend meetings with vendors, and tour different venues. Every person that interacted with her was blown away by how incredible she is at her job and how awesome of a human being she is. If you are debating whether or not to get a wedding planner or who to choose, pick Promise Event Planners, you will not regret it.

onderful and memorable wedding day. From our first meeting with Payton, she did such a good job keeping us on track (thank god because I am incredibly adhd and organization is not my strong suit) with a smile and happily worked with me as the vision of our wedding day ebbed and flowed. She made everyone who was a part of the process feel heard and understood and kept the vibes energized and fun in what could have been a stressful process. On top of a darn near flawless planning experience, their onsite presence put their service over the top! Payton was not only with us (the bride and groom) every step of the way the entire weekend but she somehow managed to be everywhere else at the same time - truly a magician! I was able to be so present during both our welcome party and the entire wedding day because I was confident Payton was handling the rest. She made our day flawless, special and a whole lot of fun! If you are looking for someone to elevate your entire wedding experience Payton is your girl!!

timely, creative, charismatic, and very cost-efficient when needed. She made the entire wedding planning process a breeze for me, and better yet FUN! I felt like I was planning with a friend who had my best interest at heart (and all the best inside knowledge). Payton's monthly to-do lists were very necessary for me as I tend to be a procrastinator. It took away the worry in the back of my head of "what else do I need to be doing" when thinking about planning. She also has such a creative vision and brought to life my vague descriptions and random Pinterest assortments, and turned them into a design concept that captured my vision far better than I could have ever imagined. When it came to the actual day if anything did not go according to plan, I was not made aware of it. Payton took care of everything and allowed me to be present during the day and really be able to sit back and enjoy. She constantly put my and my husband's needs first, including grabbing us food from our cocktail hour and hiding us away so we could have a private moment or rounding up all my guests and getting them to return to the tent because I was ready to start dancing. Whatever we wanted or needed she made happen. I could not recommend Promise Event Planners more!

She understood our vision PERFECTLY and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. She was always quick to respond whenever I had questions or ideas, and I truly think I may have lost my sanity if it weren’t for her. On the wedding day and the rehearsal, Payton and her team took care of EVERYTHING. She was such a grounding force when stressful situations arose. Hiring Payton allowed my husband and I to have the most fun, carefree day celebrating and let us feel more like the guests of honor than the hosts. Lastly, Payton is the greatest person ever & became a great friend throughout the wedding planning process. She truly went above & beyond in every single way. She is exactly the bridal bestie you need and I’ll recommend her to everyone I know getting married in the future. I can confidently say that the full planning service was worth every single penny. Seriously, if you’re considering hiring Payton, DO IT!!!

ivered exactly how we wanted. Communication was effortless whether via phone call, text message, email, or even Slack! Payton always kept us on schedule and made sure to plan around unexpected hiccups. No doubt Payton’s planning skills are top notch, and then came the wedding day when she exceeded expectations yet again. Wedding day execution was smooth, and all we had to do was say “I do”. Payton and her team ensured that we had the time of our lives, and we created memories that will last many lifetimes. Thank you, Payton!!! We couldn’t have done it without you!

up, ceremony on top of a mountain, chairlift back down, cocktail hour, and tented reception) and it all went seamless! Payton was great at organizing and coordinating the vendors delivering, set up, and breakdown. The reception/table setting set up was..chef’s kiss, beautiful! Payton and team, thank you for making our wedding day magical!

, always on time, and prepared! She knew exactly what and who to ask all the important questions to and came up with creative solutions for everything we needed. She provided the best vendor and venue recommendations and was patient with us when we would change our minds or ask for adjustments. Our wedding day was PERFECT and Payton provided instant solutions when situations out of her control occurred. We didn’t lift a finger the entire day and she was great with our family and friends when questions were redirected her way. All we had to do was focus on having the best day ever. Aside from her skills as a wedding planner, Payton is just a kick ass, wonderful person. She is a kind, funny, genuine, and loving person. She truly cares about her clients and makes you her top priority. We have nothing but love for her for the time, energy, and effort she put into our day! We 10000/10 recommend Payton!!

dding tasks, but she was so helpful coordinating with our vendors as the wedding approached. Also, Payton is simply a joy to be around - she is so genuine, and we had a great time meeting her that first time around! We wholeheartedly recommend Payton to any couple looking for peace of mind in their wedding preparations. I wanted a no-dramas kind of person, and that's Payton!

planned a wedding she was an excellent resource when we may have questions or need recommendations, and her checklist and tracker were a big upgrade from our spreadsheet! We are so thankful for her diligence, chill demeanor, and proactive nature.

wanted to have our wedding in the mountains near Denver so Payton helped us iterate through venues always listening to our feedback until we found the perfect venue in Vail. From sending us monthly to-dos to giving us advice about what has worked and what hasn't for previous couples, Payton was by our side step by step. She made us feel incredibly comfortable, encouraged us to plan our wedding in a way that was true to our personalities, and celebrated our love with such genuine happiness. Payton is hands down an amazing wedding planner, and every vendor we worked with said as much as well. We loved working with her!!

finish. She was always responsive to my questions and concerns. She was respectful of budget and helped me find innovative ways to create my daughter’s dream wedding at the Grand Hyatt in Vail, CO. Payton and I removed the bride from our group text prior to the wedding weekend in order to reduce her stress. The weekend was perfect and thanks to Payton and her team, we were able to enjoy our “BIG CELEBRATION” stress free. I highly recommend Promise Event Planners for any special occasion! Sincerely, Melissa Boss

nt above and beyond our expectations. She was the perfect person to guide us through every step of the planning process and execute everything for our big day. As I look back at videos and photos of our wedding, I can honestly say that all I remember was the feeling of pure joy from start to finish which honestly had everything to do with having Payton as our wedding planner. All the behind the scenes work she and her team does throughout our wedding day gave us the ability to be completely present with each other and our guests which to me is priceless. I will never forget seeing our venue for the first time with every detail we planned altogether and being immediately overwhelmed with tears of joy. Payton brought my vision to life and it was everything I’ve dreamed of. We are extremely grateful that we found the best wedding planner in all of CO and I cannot recommend Promise Event Planners enough! I promise you, you won’t regret hiring Payton!

ressors from this process. She narrowed down our vendor choices to just a few that she thought fit well for us, and she absolutely killed it. All the vendors she presented were within our budget, fit our personality, and if we didn’t like a venue or vendor immediately, she was so quick to find us more options. Can’t say how thankful we are that we had Payton available on our wedding day. She took everything off of our plate and just let us enjoy our day, and everything went so smooth! Would highly recommend Payton to anyone planning a wedding in CO, she just made every part of the process, all the way through the end of our wedding night, as easy and stress free as possible.

it! We opted for the meet-in-the-middle package which was perfect for us, as we already had a vision for our decor and how we wanted our display to look. We were incredibly specific with some items and Payton didn’t even bat an eye! All of our decor items and small details were exactly how we wanted them. On the day of our wedding I didn’t check in with anyone I just enjoyed the day! We had an overall untraditional wedding and she went with the flow, and always did her best not to overwhelm us. Payton checked in with us throughout the night to make sure things were going smooth, corrected any errors, and took of the little things. She handled a DJ mishap we had, and even went out to replenish alcohol when we ran low! She’s the kind of person you want watching your back!

y to navigate. There was no stress at all during our wedding weekend and it was all thanks to Payton. We could not have enjoyed this experience as much as we did if it was not for Payton and her fantastic team!

e) She was amazing. She kept the bride in the forefront in every decision. She just simply just get things done. That said, her calm and collected presence was my favorite quality. And let’s just say, I’m hiring her when I get married and I would recommend her to everyone every time.

m Michigan, trying to plan a wedding in Colorado, with no family or friends from there! I was the first in my family to get married, and first of my friends - & she was beyond patient with me. She went above and beyond in areas she didn't need to. She let me ship things to her house, let me call/text as much as I'd like, and even met us at the hotel after the wedding to bring me all my belongings so I didn't have to even think about it. All the guests at our wedding thought she was just an amazing friend, running around, killing it, making sure the day went as smoothly as possible. My day was PERFECT - no hiccups (and if there were, I didn't even notice)!! Besides her skill, her personality is calm .. which is so needed, while being such a "go-getter". Not only did I get a wedding planner and day of coordinator with her, but a good friend as well! I seriously can't thank her enough. 1000/10 recommend, GOODNESS!

helping make this day so special for Ella and I. I highly recommend so stop searching and hire her NOW!!

nue, to guiding us into selecting the most perfect vendors we could imagine, to helping with all of the design decisions when we were at a loss, she was so helpful and patient. She went above and beyond to help us make our wedding day (and multiple surrounding events) even better than we could have imagined was possible. She is such a joy to work with and truly made our wedding planning experience enjoyable and gave us unforgettable memories that we will forever cherish.

f the wedding she was essential. Having a wedding at home. We didn’t have to worry about any do the minutia. She made it feel like a venue. It’s exactly what we were looking for. We are grateful.

G. We really felt supported at all times and understood she was there for us to answer questions or reassure us at any step of the process! We recommend her to all couples looking for a wonderful planner!

that was beyond anything we could have hoped for. From the very beginning, Payton was very organized and kept us on track with monthly to-do-lists. She was always two or more steps ahead, always having answers to our questions and solutions to any obstacles before we even asked. Payton also did a beautiful job designing our wedding. My husband and I are not great with decorations or designs but we knew we wanted a rustic, summer-camp feel for our fall wedding at Camp Hale. Payton absolutely nailed our vision and went above and beyond in bringing this atmosphere to life. She did this by creating a beautiful design concept for our wedding with a natural color palette that matched the surrounding landscape, working with the florist to plan beautiful floral arrangements that complemented the natural beauty with lots of greenery and wild-flower type florals, designing the table settings with rustic wood tables and chairs and plaid napkins, and finding antler chandeliers for a finishing touch. Payton’s vendor recommendations were also excellent - we worked with Payton’s recommendation for music (both acoustic for the ceremony and DJ for the reception) and we had the most beautiful ceremony music and awesome dance party. Payton and Emily also delivered stellar day-of coordination. They kept the whole event moving and organized while having fun with the wedding party along the way. The whole weekend and wedding day was perfect - it was beautiful, it had a loving and laid back atmosphere, and the energy in the room was infectious. After planning a wedding and attending several, I have learned that this doesn’t just happen but rather takes months and months of preparation and takes lots of organization and grace for the day of. Payton and her team went above and beyond to make this happen and we will be forever grateful for their work in sending us into our marriage in the best way possible.

ould not imagine navigating all the options out there without her. When we decided to postpone our date an entire year she supported us through the entire process. She helped us confirm the new date with all our vendors and readjust our planning goals. Payton was always there for a question from me or my mom. She was an incredible resource between us and our venue. I also love the website Payton uses to assist with planning. It makes communication and planning all the details easy! The day of the wedding Payton was superwomen. She was there to help with everything and turned our vision into a reality. She truly went above and beyond, checking on my husband and I often through out the night. Our day was perfect in every single way. I can not recommend Promise Event Planners enough.

uld educate and guide us given how complicated a wedding is. Payton was all of that and more. She was incredibly organized keeping us on track for what needed to be done and when. Her recommendations for venues and service providers were fabulous - She gave us assorted options for each area making it easy to then select our amazing location (Camp Hale), beautiful florist, incredible DJ, talented hair and make-up artists. We couldn’t have been happier with all of them. Her temperament is a perfect combination of warmth and strength, always remaining calm while ensuring that we all stayed on track. After 15 months of planning, the wedding was flawless. The bride and groom were free to simply soak in the love and joy of the day, without any worries about the zillion details that need to be managed. Thank you Payton for making all of our dreams come true.

arly, and pulled off a perfect ceremony on the day that several guests called the best wedding they've ever been to. And considering we were in a different state than the venue during the entire planning phase (and sometimes my wife and I were in different states from each other) plus we were dealing with a constantly shifting covid landscape, this all counts as a miracle. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you, Payton!

mic) and decided in January 2021 to abandon our international plan and have a wedding in the Denver area in August 2021. We wanted an outdoor, picturesque location in a place less uncomfortably humid than our east coast city. With only seven months to plan, we knew we needed an efficient planner who was knowledgeable of the area and the resources. Payton promptly responded to our email request and set up a video conference shortly thereafter. We had great chemistry with her from the beginning. Promise Event Planners has two options for planning services--a full planning option, and one that allows the couple to still have some autonomy and help with organization. Since we'd already begun planning we decided to choose the second option. Payton took the lead on helping us find locations for our wedding/reception and for our rehearsal dinner that fit our style and price range, and found us amazing vendors for cake, flowers, and hair & makeup that were great to work with. She ran point with those individuals and helped review and manage the contracts. She kept our budget and schedule in an easy-to-use online site, and checked in with us a couple times a month to see where we were with the things we'd agreed to continue managing--invitations, guest list, bridal party wardrobe and details, etc. Payton was always easy to reach and available to answer questions we had about the process and the area in general. A few months before the wedding she traveled 2 hours outside of Denver to meet us at our selected site for the visit and tasting, and walked us through the remaining details and selections we had to make. On the day of the wedding, Payton was with us from early in the morning until the last guests left that night. She and Emily took such great care of both sides of the bridal party. She adjusted boutonnières, bustled my dress for me, and always made sure we were in place and that we had everything we needed. She even helped us figure out how to get larger/bulk items to the venue since we lived out of state. Our whole party loved her warm personality and take-charge attitude. All of our attendees had an amazing time, and my wife and I know that we have Payton to thank for that. We can't imagine anyone giving us a better planning experience.

ing off my flowers before I walked down the aisle so my dress wouldn't get wet up to the largest details such as orchestrating the set up and tear down of our wedding- including getting all of our personal items back to us at the end of the evening. I'm so glad I hired them and my only regret is not hiring them for the full package! They did SO much for my wedding even though I only did the "Month Of" package but if you're in between or considering a full package they are worth every penny! Communication was easy and I received so many compliments on how smoothly things went at my wedding (or at least it seemed that way- if something went wrong I didn't even notice!) and other vendors complimented how easy it was to work with Payton and Emily. Highly recommend!

up the wall her bubbly personality and organized professionalism kept me sane. Then on the day of my wedding, a huge storm blew in and shut the gondola down for three hours. She stay in contact with them and kept me updated. I would 110% recommend this amazing woman!

the cards for us. We knew right from the start we needed a planner that we could connect with and that understood what was important to us to make it happen. Payton is without a doubt the best. She was always available to answer my questions, she handled everything with the vendors, and when I had no idea what I wanted, she helped make the decisions. And probably most important, she answered all of my mom’s questions and helped to put my mom at ease about everything. Everyone kept asking for months leading up to the wedding how stressed I was and my answer was always the same, “I am zero stressed and my job is to just show up on the day”. Payton really made everything seamless and it allowed me and my husband to just get to enjoy the day and soak up every second. She was the easiest and best decision we made. If you are on the fence, trust me, just hire her. You will not regret it, and your wedding will be everything you’ve ever dreamed of and more!

end her.

She lead us to an amazing caterer and had good recommendations for other last minute needs. Day of she handled everything and we had zero stress or worries! She was lovely and fun to work with!
