New Venue in Colorado
I had the opportunity, yesterday, to view and enjoy a fantastic lunch at a brand new venue being built in the Parker, Colorado area.
Colorado Golf Club will definately be for the descerning bride. It has a wonderful Colorado feel, but is very elegant at the same time. The backdrop for ceremonies is a non-obstructed view of the mountains. On a clear day, you'll be able to see Pikes Peak to Longs Peak.
This Club is a private club, but will have some dates available for weddings. Included in the wedding package is a two night stay (night before the wedding, and wedding night) of a charming four-bedroom cottage. There's also possibility of golf and access to other amenities that members have.
The food, under the direction of Chef Bob Burden is something you'll be happy to write home about!
While the facility won't be available until May 2010, they are doing showings and taking reservations. If you are dreaming of an elegant, Colorado wedding, then this is a must see!

Giving Back
As we all know, especially in the times we live in, it's very important to give back and share with those less fortunate than ourselves.
For this reason, I've decided to make a donation to the Breast Cancer National Research of $100, for each Full or Partial Wedding Package contracted; $50 for each Day Of Service; and $25 from each elopement package.
The charities will be changed on a monthly basis:
October - Breast Cancer Research
November - Food Bank of the Rockies/Rescue Mission
December - Toys for Tots
January - Alzheimer's Association
February - Heart Association
March - Boys' and Girls' Club
April - The Gathering Place
May - Denver Dumb Friends League
June - Wheelchair Foundation
July - Meals on Wheels
August - School Supplies
September - Habitat for Humanity
While many of these charities are located in Colorado, if you hire me, and you live outside of Colorado, then the donation will be made to one that is local to you.
It's time we all make a difference, a little bit at a time!

Groom's Shower
A groom's shower? Why not? Should brides have all the fun?
If you are looking for something new and different to do for the bachelor party, why not a groom's shower? While he may not need new "undies", he will be setting up a new home and can probably use help in: stocking the bar; filling the tool room; gardening tools; creating a game room.
There's a brand new hotel in Black Hawk, Colorado that has a full spa, roof-top pool, a large ball room, six restaurants, not to mention all the gaming and fun of Las Vegas, but in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. How about a destination bachelor party to Colorado? Take in the ambiance of the old mining towns while enjoying 24 hr. gaming. There are nice, affordable hotel rooms available as well.
Give your best friend a pre-wedding party he'll always remember! I'll be happy to work with you on setting up a fun and safe groom's shower! It doesn't have to be in the gambling towns, but can be anywhere in the city! Give me a call and let's work together to give this special man, a special night with his special friends! www.weddingsbytanya.com tanya@weddingsbytanya.com

Destination Weddings
I just returned home from a destination wedding to the Ashburn, VA area. The wedding was held at Silverbrook Farm, which is something right out of the magazines you look at and think you'll never see! The farmhouse was built in the late 1700's and the owner, Dottie Shetterly not only lives there, but has two charming bedrooms that she rents out on occasion as a B&B. The rolling hills, cattle - along with the white chaperon goat, in the pasture made for the most scenic of backdrops. As the sun set to the west, there was a full moon that made it's way up into a clear sky from the East. It couldn't have been more perfect if it has been scripted!
We had a tent set up for the reception and a smaller one for the buffet. The flowers were magnificent, done in fall colors. The food was wonderful and the service outstanding. If you are looking for a wonderful caterer, check out www.Shirleycatering.com. Shirley is one of the most efficient and accommodating caterers I've worked with.
For your make up give Angela Perez at www.Wildflowermakeup.com 571-235-5840 a call. She'll come to is, is reasonably priced and great to work with.
I'm hoping to soon have pictures, provided by the photographer, Tracy Sanders Photography, that I can post.
These are just a few of the vendors I worked with, but I'll be happy to provide vendor contact information to anyone looking for great vendors in the Leesburg area. Contact me through www.weddingsbytanya.com. I'm also available to travel to set up and coordinator your wedding in Virginia, Georgia or anywhere else you might decide to get married.
Which bring up another issues. How do you work with a long distance coordinator? I'm located in Colorado doing a wedding in Virginia. How do I handle this? First, I find out if my client has vendors selected or if they need help doing this then I get to work. I start by researching the vendors to be sure they are professionals and up to the task. I ask for references and check them out! (This is a must for all long distance planning.) The bride should also do this! I talk to other vendors in the area to get referrals as well. If possible, I like to make at least one trip to the location to meet with the vendors, visit the venue so I'm well appraised on what to expect.
It takes a larger time investment, but well worth it. I try to arrive three days early so I can go over everything with the client as well as the vendors and leave nothing to chance. I've even learned how to pack the essentials from my emergency kit so the bride doesn't have to worry about these things.
I work with many clients from out of state or country so whether planning a Colorado wedding, or planning a destination wedding away from my home state isn't a problem. For more information, visit www.weddingsbytanya.com.
Until next time, enjoy the changing colors of the fall!
