Every wedding is a story waiting to be told—a moment woven together with love, emotions, and unforgettable experiences. Behind every spectacular celebration stands a visionary, crafting each detail with precision and passion. We had the privilege of sitting down with the creative force behind byBello Events to explore the journey, philosophy, and artistry that define their unparalleled approach to wedding planning.
“I founded byBello in December 2013, but my journey into the world of weddings started long before that.”
With nearly a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, byBello’s founder gained invaluable insights into event production, guest experience, and the intricate logistics behind large-scale celebrations. But there was always something particularly special about weddings.
“The fast-paced, dynamic nature of live events has always fascinated me, but weddings are different. There’s a deep emotional connection, and the opportunity to create a once-in-a-lifetime celebration is incredibly fulfilling.”
After years of working across various roles in the event industry, the path became clear—designing entire wedding experiences, assembling the perfect team, and helping couples bring their dream celebration to life.
Like every great journey, byBello Events’ story began with a defining moment.
“The first wedding I ever planned was on a private ranch in Telluride, and it was an unforgettable experience.”
Set in a breathtaking aspen grove, the ceremony was intimate and ethereal. Guests enjoyed a charming picnic dinner before dancing under a sky full of stars. That wedding solidified a lifelong passion for crafting meaningful celebrations.
At the core of byBello Events is a dedication to personalization and artistry.
“What I love most about wedding planning is the opportunity to bring a couple’s unique vision to life. It’s about creating a weekend that feels completely personal to them while also managing all the behind-the-scenes details so they can truly enjoy the moment.”
Every wedding planned by byBello Events is a testament to thoughtful design, careful logistics, and a commitment to storytelling. Whether it’s an opulent black-tie affair in the mountains or a weekend-long celebration filled with curated events, the team is known for transforming ideas into extraordinary realities.
“We’re known for delivering a highly personalized, high-touch experience that leaves both our couples and their guests in awe.”
One of the defining elements of byBello Events is its ability to create immersive wedding experiences that go beyond a single day.
“We are known for wedding weekend celebrations in the Mountain West, and we love planning and designing multiple events with various themes, food and beverage, and settings for our clients and guests to enjoy.”
From a Western Welcome Party complete with boots and hats to a tented black-tie affair with panoramic mountain views, the juxtaposition of luxury and nature is what makes their weddings stand out.
“Design-wise, we love infusing our events with lush florals, high-impact ceiling installations, bespoke place settings, and unforgettable food and beverage experiences.”
But the true magic lies in the atmosphere created—one that makes every guest feel like they are part of something truly special.
“So often, we are told by clients, guests, and vendors alike that ‘this was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to!’ That, to me, is the ultimate compliment.”
Every wedding comes with its challenges, but for byBello Events, overcoming obstacles is part of the craft.
“We often design and build celebrations in some of the most remote mountain meadows or ranches, far from the conveniences of town.”
Planning in such locations means tackling complex logistics—installing flooring, bringing in lighting, arranging catering, and even coordinating entertainment in places with limited cell service. One wedding featured a breathtaking drone show as a grand finale, transforming the night sky into a moving masterpiece of personalized imagery.
“It was a challenge to pull off, but the results were nothing short of magical.”
Of all the weddings planned, one holds the most meaning.
“My favorite, most memorable wedding I’ve ever planned is my own. Getting married in 2019 changed the way I view weddings completely.”
From handwritten notes placed at each guest’s seat to intimate, meaningful moments woven throughout the celebration, planning a wedding from the perspective of a bride gave byBello Events a renewed appreciation for the importance of personalization.
“We worked hard to make every detail an authentic reflection of us, and we soaked in every moment. That experience deepened my understanding of what my clients feel on their wedding day.”
For couples embarking on their wedding planning journey, byBello Events has one key piece of advice:
“Trust the process. When you hire talented, experienced professionals, it’s essential to give them the space to do their best work.”
With so many details to manage, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But having the right planner ensures that the experience remains joyful, not stressful.
Weddings are about celebrating love, family, and togetherness. Focus on what matters most to you and let go of the rest.
As byBello Events continues to craft remarkable celebrations, there are always new dreams on the horizon.
“I have been dying to work at Dunbar Ranch and Dunton Hot Springs. Two fabulous Colorado venues that are inspiring.”
ByBello Events isn’t just about planning weddings—it’s about curating once-in-a-lifetime experiences filled with beauty, love, and unforgettable moments. Their passion, creativity, and dedication to excellence make every event they touch a true work of art.
