Breckenridge Wedding Planner | Ten Mile Station Wedding | Rachel & Gino

Rachel & Gino. How do we get so lucky with the such fun couples?! (and yes, I realize I say that all the time but it's true!) I remember back when we first started working together, after we found a wedding venue they loved, Gino asked about getting a helicopter to fly him in for his ceremony. No joke. Ha! As it turns out, Ten Mile Station is on national forest lands that prohibits drones let alone helicopters. But that's beside the point. Rachel and Gino are fun!

It was a blast wedding planning with these two. And their vision was amazing. Think garden disco! They knew they were going to have a lot of friends and family make the trip to Breckenridge, Colorado for their wedding. So we had to rent a tent for dancing. Of course we sourced from Colorado Tents and Events. I just love going with a clear top and the lighting they offer. It feels like you are literally in a disco ball. And speaking of disco balls, Rachel wanted everything disco ball and their florist, Alicia at Magnolia Grace delivered! There were disco balls everywhere! From the ceremony to the cocktail tables, head tables, guest tables and even in front of the stage. It was gorgeous. During set up, it not only rained but also had some sleeting, hail and snow. So Colorado. But come wedding ceremony time, the clouds were parting and the sun was doing everything it could to poke through. Such is October in the mountains!

Guests arrived and enjoyed bevies before the crisp, autumn Breckenridge wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, cocktail hour took place and guests were listening in on the electric string quartet Spinphony. They are seriously so great and we get complements at every wedding they play. Guests were seated for dinner while Rachel and Gino sneaked away for another little photo shoot. After the amazing grand entrance, announced by their very good friend, wedding guests enjoyed everything Ten Mile Station had to offer with yummy food, delicious drinks and an amazing mountain lodge atmosphere!

Once dinner was complete, there were toasts, a cake cutting and then everyone moved into the tent for dancing. As guests were moving Rachel slipped away for an outfit change. We always encourage this. It's nice to put away your wedding dress and change into something you can really party in. And Rachel's dress was perfect! If we thought the tent was gorgeous during the day, it was ten times more gorgeous during the night. Cleartop tents are everything! As you can see from the photos everyone had a blast at this wedding. And Whitewater Ramble killed it as always with their rocking tunes! Thank you to Basecamp Visual for capturing and sharing these amazing wedding photos!

Thank you Rachel and Gino for choosing us to help plan your Breckenridge wedding!
