Aspen & Ivy Events and Travel (formerly Pink Diamond Events)

Fantastic experience: Casey and the Aspen & Ivy team were AMAZING! She kept track of every request and idea that we had, and helped our day be the perfect day. Whether it was vendor management, design and decor, food and drink, guests, etc. Everything was handled with perfection. I would 1000% recommend the Aspen & Ivy team for anyone who is looking for the best of the best wedding planners.

Fantastic experience: As a wedding videographer, I have the privilege of working with dozens of wedding planners. There's really no better team that I've come across than Casey's team at Aspen & Ivy. They're balance of professionalism and genial disposition makes them a true joy to work with. I always look forward to spending a wedding day with them....and you should too!

Fantastic experience: Casey with Aspen & Ivy was amazing to work with. We spent a year planning our wedding and she made every step easy and seamless. I didn’t have a real vision of what I wanted when we first met. I knew only a few things: I wanted mountains, I wanted bold colors, lots of flowers, and a good photographer. Casey took these very minimal notes and crafted something wonderful. I can be an indecisive person, and at every turn Casey narrowed her options to 3 and made it that much easier to choose. And her choices were always phenomenal. She understands what her clients wants and if there’s any doubts, she communicates clearly. At the start of the year, I lost my grandmother and Casey handled everything afterward in stride. She was empathetic and kind, and I’m so grateful. My wedding was a dream. And Casey made it into a reality. She was the first choice I made upon starting down that stressful, overwhelming road of wedding planning and I’m so thankful we went with her.

Fantastic experience: I am genuinely delighted to write this review, as I cannot recommend Casey and her team at Aspen & Ivy highly enough. We hosted an intimate microwedding weekend—fewer than twenty guests—at Magee Homestead in Saratoga, Wyoming, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Perhaps the most telling endorsement came from my mother, who was initially skeptical about hiring a coordinator (a requirement of the venue). Over the course of the weekend, I heard her say no fewer than three times, “Casey was the best money spent,” a sentiment that carries particular weight when one considers how quickly wedding expenses accumulate. From the earliest stages of planning, Casey was a steady and intuitive presence. She offered guidance when I needed help making decisions, gave me space to obsess over the minutiae, and gently steered the process with quiet confidence and deep expertise. Her ability to navigate complex family dynamics, advocate for my vision, and identify thoughtful compromises speaks to a level of professionalism that is both rare and invaluable. I am profoundly grateful for her support, and I know our venue and vendors felt the same. On the day of the wedding, I had no idea what was happening behind the scenes, but I never once doubted that everything would unfold flawlessly. That sense of calm and trust, especially for someone who leans toward control-freak tendencies, was a gift in itself. Despite the many moving parts, locations, and logistical intricacies, the weekend ran seamlessly. I truly believe it would not have been possible without Aspen & Ivy’s involvement. Hiring Casey and her team will be the single greatest favor you do for yourself in the wedding planning process. Their work is not only exceptional, it’s indispensable.

Fantastic experience: We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding coordinators, Casey and Dani, at Aspen & Ivy. From the moment they stepped in—60 days before our wedding, part of their day-of coordination services—we felt an immediate sense of relief and support. They jumped in with open arms, kind hearts, and a calm confidence that made the rest of our planning feel so much lighter. Casey and Dani are not only incredibly organized and detail-oriented, they are also such a joy to be around. They were thoughtful, responsive, and always one step ahead—thinking through things we hadn’t even considered and making sure every part of our day felt intentional and seamless. On our wedding day, they were an absolute dream team. Everything flowed effortlessly thanks to their hard work behind the scenes, and we were genuinely able to soak up every moment with our family and friends, knowing they had it all under control. We are so deeply grateful for Casey, Dani, and Josie, and couldn’t imagine our day without them. If you’re looking for a coordination team that’s organized, joyful, supportive, and downright lovely, Aspen & Ivy is it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Fantastic experience: We are beyond grateful for Casey! With her day of coordinator services, she stepped in 60 days before our wedding and completely took the reins on vendor organization, logistics, and every last detail for the big day. Her communication was always timely, and she offered such thoughtful suggestions and guidance on everything from our schedule to room layout and decorations. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying about a thing. Casey made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, and we can’t recommend her and her team highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Janina and Kelsey from Aspen and Ivy for the first time at a beautiful wedding in Steamboat Springs at Lucky 8 Ranch—and I was truly impressed from start to finish. About two months before the wedding, Janina reached out to introduce herself and share the couple’s vision and details. She even scheduled a one-on-one call to get acquainted, which immediately gave me a great feeling about their team and how they work. That first impression proved to be spot on. Leading up to the wedding, their communication was exceptional. They kept me in the loop with any updates to the timeline and event details, which made collaboration smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and proactive planning allowed me to focus completely on creating an unforgettable celebration for the couple and their guests. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. Janina and Kelsey were kind, professional, and truly a joy to work alongside—two of the nicest people I’ve met in this industry. Their calm presence and clear coordination made a big difference not just for the couple, but for all the vendors involved. I can’t recommend Aspen and Ivy enough for wedding planning. They’re the kind of team that makes everyone’s job easier while delivering an incredible experience for their couples. — Eric Hovey Hovey Entertainment

Fantastic experience: Working with Aspen & Ivy for our wedding was an incredible experience. With Jen as our planner, we felt at ease the entire process. She was professional, friendly, and so on top of all of the little details that we otherwise may have missed, while still making sure that everything reflected our vision and personalities. She went above and beyond the week of to relieve any stress and make sure that we could fully enjoy our wedding weekend. With a bit of unexpected Colorado rain, the day was absolutely perfectly and we could not have asked for a better team on our side!

Fantastic experience: Both Janina and Jen were incredible in helping us pull our day together. We weren't super sold on hiring a planner at first, but it's honestly worth every penny if you're on the fence about it. They logistically put our day together for us so we could fully enjoy ourselves on our special day. I would highly recommend either one of them!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Casey! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make my wedding dreams come true. She was incredibly punctual, kind, and attentive to every little detail throughout the entire planning process. Casey truly has a gift for what she does—her organization, creativity, and calming presence made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless and enjoyable. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect and ran smoothly from start to finish, all thanks to her. My family and friends couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was—they absolutely adored her! Casey also recommended top-notch vendors that fit our style and budget perfectly. I’m beyond grateful for everything she did to make our special day so magical. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will exceed your expectations and feel like a friend along the way, Casey is the one! 10/10 recommend Aspen and Ivy!!!!!

Fantastic experience: We can't thank Casey of Aspen & Ivy enough for making our wedding a reality in just three months, what should've probably taken a year and a half! From the very beginning, Casey was organized, professional, and always kept us on track with helpful reminders and an amazing planning software that I loved using. She was incredibly kind, but when it came time to get things done, she was a total shark, ensuring every detail was covered and every vendor was walking in line. Thanks to her, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We truly couldn’t have done it without her. If you’re looking for a planner who’s both amazing and efficient, Casey is the one!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Casey to plan a winter destination ski wedding, and we absolutely could not have done it without her. She was excellent when it came to all of the tasks that you hire a wedding planner for--coordinating with the venue, excellent vendor recommendations, managing the budget, creating the design for the reception, etc. We felt very comfortable knowing that she was always on top of every timeline and was always very communicative with us. She also was incredibly flexible and accommodated to meet around our work schedules. But the best part of working with Casey was that she was always willing to go above and beyond to help us make our vision a reality. We knew that we wanted to have a casual ski ceremony, but we could not find a spot to reserve. The next time that she was in town a year before our wedding date, Casey scouted out an area and filmed it to show us how it could work. We always felt like she had us in mind and how to make our day better. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding weekend without any stress because we knew that Casey had everything under control and made the logistics of the day seamless and we knew she would easily handle anything that came up. Overall we had a great experience working with Casey and couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: We had an incredible winter destination wedding in Steamboat Springs, and we couldn't have done it without our fantastic wedding planner, Casey! Planning a wedding from afar could have been stressful, but she made everything seamless. One of the things that stood out was how organized she was. She used an amazing planning software that kept all our to-do lists, financial planning, contacts, and schedules in one place. This made it so easy to stay on top of everything and made us feel confident that no detail would be overlooked. She was a pro when it came to handling all the logistics of a winter wedding in a remote location. From coordinating with vendors to managing logistics in snow, she ensured everything went smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about the typical challenges that come with a destination wedding, because she had it all under control. Her communication was always clear and prompt, and she made sure we stuck to our budget while keeping everything on track. If you’re planning a wedding in Colorado or any destination, we highly recommend her for her ability to manage the logistics and make the process easy and stress-free.

Fantastic experience: We weren’t sure if we wanted to hire a wedding planner at first. Then we interviewed Casey, and she sold us at hello. Casey undersells herself, she does an incredible amount of work. She pays attention to every little detail and knows exactly what questions to ask, especially when we were on the phone with vendors. She was able to provide us with valuable suggestions at the right times and offered advice when needed; I was a very indecisive bride and she walked me through multiple planning stages and made the whole process a lot less stressful, being a backbone and voice for my husband and I with vendors. She reviewed all our contracts with vendors and pointed out anything that was missing or needed to be interpreted - which was a huge help. I must also mention, I had 11 bustles on my dress and was stressed about the time it would take since we were on a strict timeline, Casey came to the rescue and bustled it beautifully in 5 minutes. She was especially helpful at the end of the night with clean up, when all our guests left, she had packed and loaded everything into our cars. She made the whole night run smoothly and seamlessly and we received multiple compliments from friends and family. She is easy to get a hold of and responds quickly. She was even in Italy on a business trip the month of my wedding and she was still attentive. You can tell that she has coordinated countless weddings with the expertise that she brings to the table. 10/10 would recommend Aspen and Ivy over and over again.

Fantastic experience: We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work of Jen and the Aspen & Ivy team in planning our dream wedding. From our first conversation to the final dance, she was a constant source of support, creativity, and professionalism. Jen took the time to get to know us, listened to our vision, and helped us bring it to life. She was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and handled every detail with care. Her expertise in the industry was invaluable. She recommended vendors that perfectly aligned with our style and budget, and was able to guide us through the entire process from contracts to day-of coordination. This allowed us to focus on the more fun elements of planning. She knew when to nudge and when to let us go ahead - the result was a wedding that was uniquely us, elegant and comfortable for everyone! All this would be enough to sing her praises, but on top of that, Jen wore a super-woman cape the entire wedding weekend. Our goal for the weekend was to be present with our guests and not have to worry about anything - Jen made that happen. She kept everything on track. From the start of the rehearsal, to the last guest being dropped off, to rental returns the next day, she ensured the weekend ran smoothly and was stress-free. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them. We had initially gone back and forth on hiring a planner at all, and in hindsight we’d do it again in a heartbeat. It was absolutely the reason our wedding exceeded our expectations. We loved working with Jen!

Fantastic experience: Aspen & Ivy, specifically Jen, was amazing!!!! They helped make our day truly magical, we’ve had friends & family telling us for a month after how much fun they had and how beautiful / well done our wedding was. This is largely due to Aspen & Ivy!! Jen truly took care of everything and I (the bride) had NO stress or worries the day of!! She was so helpful & very responsive throughout the whole process!!

Fantastic experience: Aspen and Ivy was incredible every step of the way from our first call with Casey to our wedding day. We worked with Aspen and Ivy’s guidance to set up vendors and ask questions along the way and then had our planner, Kelsey start a few months before the wedding. Kelsey partnered with us to create the tented wedding of our dreams. She was personable and easy to work with but also had a great eye for detail and made sure everything ran super smoothly. She oversaw our vendors with ease and had great communication throughout the whole process. When the day finally came, the top priority was making sure that we were calm and able to sit back and enjoy the day which is exactly what you want in a planner. It was truly a perfect day and I’m so grateful we hired Aspen and Ivy!

Fantastic experience: We loved working with Kelsey from Aspen & Ivy for our big day! As the bride, I was consistently asked “how are you not stressed right now?” And I owe this all to Kelsey! She was absolutely amazing from being organized, making sure I was informed, handling anything with vendors the month before. If there was anything that went wrong (which I don’t think there was) I had no idea about it and was able to enjoy our absolutely perfect wedding day. When we were picking a Coordinator it was a bit overwhelming. Weddings are expensive and as we were choosing our vendors all I could see were massive dollar signs and not really knowing how a coordinator could help it was an annoying (at the time) requirement from our venue. However, it was THE BEST investment and I would recommend doing at least the package where you start working together two months out to anyone. Kelsey took the time to get to know our wedding, us, our vision etc and helped keep all the ducks in a row, making sure we were missing deadlines, keeping other vendors on time, timelines etc. One of the biggest things that stood out to me is Kelsey handling all the changes of people not making it last minute. This will inevitably happen and instead of being stressed about table arrangements and venue communication she was able to handle it so I could enjoy all the events leading up to our wedding. Invest in a coordinator! Because even though you think you may be able to do it yourself, it gives a professional helping hand and allows you to enjoy your big day and build memories that last forever.

Fantastic experience: Casey and the entire Aspen & Ivy team were amazing to work with! When we first got engaged we were thinking that we may only need a day-of coordinator, but we got so overwhelmed with planning very quickly. Before hiring Aspen & Ivy we spent multiple hours reading reviews of different vendors but made no progress because we were so overwhelmed by the often conflicting opinions online. When we first met with Casey, she helped us allocate our budget, talk through our goals, and set a timeline. Then, at the right time, she would give us a few suggestions for each vendor that was in budget, provided the services that we were looking for, and she could recommend. This helped relieve so much of the mental load of wedding planning, so we were truly able to enjoy our wedding planning experience and didn't feel like we were constantly behind. Additionally, Casey got us a discount with our band because she has such a good relationship with them. The investment was so worth it! On our wedding day there was rain in the afternoon - our ceremony was supposed to be outside, so Casey figured out all of the options that we had, which made making the decision so much easier. I trusted Casey and her team every step of the way, they truly made our wedding day as perfect as it was. Could not recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: Amazing wedding planning/coordinator service! Jen is exceptional and her years of experience really show as she was able to make the wedding I was a part of flow seamlessly. Would recommend to anyone looking for an experienced professional to help their dream wedding become a reality! -DJ Dom

Fantastic experience: We worked with Aspen and Ivy for a June '24 wedding in the Colorado mountains. We are a couple from California, and having an in-state wedding planner was critical for our wedding. Aspen & Ivy absolutely crushed it- thank you, Casey & Team! They were exceptionally well organized, super responsive and diligent with planning even when our wedding was >12 months out. We really appreciated the periodic status calls, wedding planning software and collaborative technology to make tracking and decision making easy and convenient especially when synching offline. The team was also great with working within our guidelines and setting expectations with us, and working with them felt more like a partnership vs any sort of taxing service. Neither of us had planned a wedding before as we were the first to marry from each of our respective families but never felt like we were flying blind in the process working with Casey and co. The team was absolutely critical to our wedding success and we could not have achieved half the wedding without 10x more stress. Our guests and family had an amazing time and we wish we could relive that day over and over again. We highly recommend Aspen & Ivy for any wedding or event, and have recommended them to friends as well. We feel very lucky to have found them via Instagram and fully expect they'll be a massively successful business that makes every couple happy with their product. Thank you guys, we wish you the best and continued success in your work and partnerships!

Fantastic experience: I am so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to work with Aspen & Ivy for our wedding! I consider myself a fairly organized person, and certainly one who gets a kick out of planning, so I was excited to take on the task of planning our wedding when my fiancé and I first got engaged. The venue we decided to have our reception at is a la carte, which meant hiring a day-of coordinator was something to seriously consider. Doing so turned out to be more imperative than I had initially expected. We had the pleasure of working with Kelsey, who is simply AWESOME. Even with my passion for planning, I truly don't know how we would have gone through our wedding day without her! She is organized, punctual, on-top-of-it, and most importantly, very kind and easy to work with. I really felt like she had our backs throughout our entire time working together, and she handled day-of hiccups with so much grace. Thank you, Kelsey, and the whole Aspen & Ivy team, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Fantastic experience: When we first began planning our wedding, we quickly became overwhelmed by all of the little details, the (often unsolicited) advice people shared with us, and the cost. I didn’t know what I should be investing in versus saving on. And, as a result, we originally selected a different planning team. Dear reader, this was the wrong choice! And while this is a long review, I hope to impress upon you that investing in a team like Aspen & Ivy is an investment in the elements of your wedding that actually matter: the joy you will feel on the day, the experience you share with your guests, and your peace of mind leading up to it. We hired Casey about six months before our wedding, after our original planner shared that she had over extended herself and would need to shift us to someone else on her team. We hired Casey two minutes after first speaking with her - she was compassionate, professional, and friendly. But what I most appreciated about her was her honesty - she completely validated that our instincts were right and that despite what our original planner was telling us, we were quite behind. On paper, our first planner committed to the same suite of full service planning that Aspen & Ivy offer. However, the reality is that our original planner wasn’t able to do any of those things because she was constantly focused on triaging the most imminent wedding she was planning. We were the ones pushing to get vendors locked in and then when she would finally share options, it was under researched. Other vendors of ours even began reaching out to us because she wasn’t answering questions they had. After we hired Casey, we never had to manage any of the vendor research or logistics. In fact, the only time vendors ever reached out again was to share how much they enjoyed working with her. Casey also completely redid our design and went above and beyond to make it perfect. Following the trial with the rentals and florals, she went back a second time (a 1hr+ drive each way) to take pictures and propose some new combinations she thought we might like better. This blew my mind because we liked the options from the first trial! Anytime we had an idea, a proposal, a rogue comment from a parent, she responded with recommendations, options, and solutions. Her communication was unparalleled - she responded to emails/texts within the same day, she sent meeting notes, and even zoomed us at midnight her time while on a work trip to Italy. The last six months of planning were by far the most enjoyable part of the process for me and my husband. To be clear, there is a sizable difference in cost, but the investment is worth it. Weddings are a huge milestone - they are the first “group project” you tackle with your partner, they symbolize the commitment you want to honor and safeguard together, and they provide an opportunity to celebrate the community that has supported you. With our first planner, we didn’t have the confidence that her team would be able to pull it all together. However, with Casey, the weekend of our wedding was something I could sink into and enjoy - I knew everything was totally handled and if/when we ran into obstacles they would be taken care of without me being involved. An immense thank you to Casey - we felt so present on our wedding day and we are so grateful for the Herculean amount of work and effort she put into the day to help us get there!

Fantastic experience: Working with these planners is always a pleasure! For a recent wedding, they stepped in to handle all communications, making it so much easier for us at The Bridal Goddess. They took care of all the details, like final head count and timing, allowing the bride to relax and focus on other more pressing wedding details. Thanks to their seamless coordination, we could focus on delivering our top-notch hair and makeup services.

Fantastic experience: As a hair and makeup company we have done many weddings with Aspen and Ivy and we’ve seen first hand how beautiful they turn out and how happy their beautiful clients are. We highly recommend working with them.

Fantastic experience: Loved working with Jen!! Super organized and efficient and put together a beautifully executed event. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: For our son's wedding in December 2022, my husband and I hosted a harlequin-themed pre-wedding party for 75 at a Fort Collins brewery and a post-wedding brunch for 60 at our house. With friends and relatives attending from all over the country, I was happy to work with Casey to find vendors and supplies and keep to a schedule that she generated and was always on top of. She also oversaw the set-up of both events, preparing the rooms impeccably. Due to the assistance of Casey and her colleague Jen, I had time to enjoy the family and friends reunion that ensued during wedding week. Casey relieved me of a lot of nuts-and-bolts concerns and allowed our "wedding reunion" to be a lot of fun. Hiring Pink Diamond Events was a great investment in acquiring heartwarming memories.

Fantastic experience: I was very grateful that I made the decision to hire Pink Diamond Events to help us plan and execute our Centennial Celebration Saturday night event. Casey was on top of all the details that I did not have time to deal with, she kept the timeline moving and was professional yet kind in working with. I highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: We are always excited to work with Pink Diamond Events. They are extremely organized, talented and a pleasure to work with. They handle all details to perfection. Sincerely, Best Day Floral Design

Fantastic experience: Casey and her team are some of the best in the business! I was invited to collaborate on a wedding last summer with the Pink Diamond Events team. As a vendor with experience working with event planning companies, I can tell you this team is seamless. They were so organized, responsive, kind and professional. They are visionaries and made my part of the process so easy. I would highly recommend this team to plan your next event!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Kelsey for our wedding at the beginning of August at Rist Canyon Inn and if we could give her 10 stars we would. She was professional, on point, communicated quickly and effectively, and did so many things behind the scenes on the day-of and the weeks leading up to our wedding to make everything run smoothly. I am sure we could never fully express her value and the gratitude we all share for having her as our coordinator in this simple review. Her assistant was also wonderful and only contributed great things to the day. Ultimately, my spouse and I, as well as our entire wedding party, agree that Kelsey was MVP in making the day as perfect as it was. We cannot say enough amazing things about her and even three weeks after the wedding we continue to rave about her to all of our friends and family. Thank you for everything, Kelsey, you are the BEST!!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have a Catering company called Juli y Juan's Kitchen. We recently had the great pleasure and opportunity of working with Pink Diamond Events on a 175 people wedding. I have to say that working with Casey is an amazing adventure!! I have already heard about her great professionalism in the industry, and now we know at first hand!! Casey thank you for all of what you did!! Everything looked just so amazing and gorgeous!! We look forward to having more adventures together as we had an amazing time making magic together!! Keep up your awesome work and helping dreams come true. =D All the love from Juli & I!

Fantastic experience: Casey and Jen of Pink Diamond Events are nothing less than amazing. They are extremely organized, super responsive, and just wonderful to work with. They really take care of their couples and they make sure every detail in intentionally thought through and covered. The weddings they design are beautiful, elegant, and very personalized to each couple. Casey and Jen are two of the best!

Fantastic experience: Casey and I have done several weddings and styled shoots together so I know how she works. I highly recommend her to all of my brides. She is so organized, experienced and always goes above and beyond to make a wedding better than expected. You won't regret hiring Casey for your event!!

Fantastic experience: Pink Diamond Events is a dream to work with! Casey's fine attention to detail and sense of style put her in a league ahead of the rest. She is down to earth, organized and provides amazing service to her wedding clients and the industry as a whole.
