A Creative Way to Celebrate Valentine's Day In Northern Colorado 2018

1/27/2018

 
Valentine's Day 2018 is just days away... and you might be fretting over what to do this year to show your love for your one and only.

The My Big Day team has put together a list of our personal favorite ways to celebrate Valentine's Day. Feel free to borrow any of our ideas!

Christine:
Being an event planner, I start planning for holidays MONTHS OUT. A few of my favorite things...

1) Purchase matching Valentine outfits and a sweet book for my twin nieces and ship on Feb 1st!

2) Buy Valentine's for the neighbor kids and kiddos in my son's class for him to give (this year is chocolate covered pretzels and sweet little cards)

3) I get a BIG HEART for my parents from the Loveland Rotary  (I make it a scavenger hunt) Look for "In love with you since '72 D+N" over by Lake Loveland!

4) I get a couple cards for my husband - one to hide in his work bag so he finds a little surprise, and another 1 or 2 to give at other times. I also gift him a sweet treat of some sort.

5) My Big Day sends out Valentine's to many of our clients and partners. We create them, stamp them, and send them out through the Valentine Re-Mailing Program in early February!

6) I send out Valentine's to family members through the Valentine Re-Mailing Program, and often send a handful of the Official Loveland Valentine's Cards that you can buy around the city.

7) My husband and I either cook a nice dinner at home, or go out to a local restaurant. A few of our favorites:  Slate Italian Eatery, Starlight Dessert Bar, Taste Local, Fresh Plate Eatery, Bann Thai, the Himalayan Bistro, or Hearth.

8) Planning the Valentine's Day Group Wedding of course!
Lynzee:
My favorite way to spend Valentine’s Day is out on a trip discovering new places with my hubby!  Sharing new experiences is a great way to bond!

Carrie:
As a parent of young children, getting time away to celebrate a holiday built on romance is difficult.  I have found the best way is to include my two boys in the celebration.  I usually prepare a candlelight dinner where the kids get to drink sparkling grape juice out of the "grown up" wine glasses, and we dine by candlelight.  Sometimes we have super fancy chicken nuggets and mac and cheese - the main course is always chosen by the kiddos. Our schedules are always so busy so it's nice to have an evening to sit back with a special dinner together.

Heather:
We love to celebrate Valentines each year by going to Estes Park and go snow shoeing. We then head back to Fort Collins and eat dinner at Bisetti's. Then we go for a long stroll in old Town.

Kathy:
Valentine's Day has never been a big holiday for us to celebrate but it always gives us a reason to do a date night.  We like to find a spot that is not a normal place for us or for others so we look for a hole in the wall place that is unique and cozy.  This way we stay away from the crowds and we can have some quality time together.  Celebrating each other and our love is something we try to do as often as we can.  We love to stay connected and continue to build our relationship as we grow old together.  We try to strengthen our marriage by remembering this scripture:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Katie:
Plan in advance... I love to make reservations at the Loveland Chophouse (4th Street) and get a nice steak dinner and fancy wine!

Randi:
My favorite way is to make a movie fort at home and watch old classics.
We fill the fort with snacks and chocolates and roses. Add some cocoa and my loving partner. 
Well there you have it - some ways to spend Valentine's Day from the My Big Day event planning team!

If you are looking for an EXTRA unique way to celebrate your love, join us for the Valentine's Day Group Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremony. We create an entire ceremony around our guests! It is truly a memorable experience!  LEARN MORE

Facts about the Loveland Group Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremony on Valentine's Day 2017

11/15/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
There is already a BUZZ about the group wedding taking place on Valentine's Day in the Sweetheart City, Loveland Colorado.  Since this is the first annual Wedding and Vow Renewal, we know you'll have questions. Below are the answers!
Q: What type of ceremony will it be?
A:
We will offer a ceremony suitable for everyone, no matter your religion or faith.  The officiant will offer vows that you can repeat to each other. He will also offer a silent moment for any unscripted vows or things you want to say to each other.

Q: How do I know if I'm booked?
A:
When you check out from our pay portal, you'll receive an email confirmation.  You'll also receive an email reminder with additional details prior to Valentine's Day.

Q: What do I need to know or bring with me prior to arrival?
A: No need to print a receipt. We will have your name on our list at registration.  Registration takes place at 2pm at the Loveland Library - Gertrude Scott Room.
300 N. Adams, Loveland, CO 80537. Wedding couples must bring their Larimer County Marriage Certificate and IDs.  Vow Renewal couples just need to bring their IDs.  The ceremony will take place at the Loveland Foote Lagoon Amphitheater - 500 E Third St Loveland, CO 80537 at 4:30pm.

Q: I have to work on Valentine's Day, what do I do?
A:
We recommend that at least one person takes the day off or a half day, so that you can register at 2pm. Registration is mandatory.  The sun sets at 5:30pm that day, so it will be getting dark by 5pm.  The ceremony needs to take place before it gets too dark, thus the 4:30pm ceremony time.

Q: How long is the ceremony?
A:
About 30 minutes.  Keep in mind that you will need extra time before or after the ceremony to take photos, if you wish. You will also need to wait in line post ceremony to collect your marriage certificate or vow renewal certificate.

Q: Do I need to make a dinner reservation ahead of time in Loveland?
A: YES! We highly recommend that if you'd like to dine in Loveland on Valentine's Day after the ceremony, that you make a dinner reservation far in advance. Since we are the Sweetheart City, restaurants get VERY busy over the holiday.


Q: Where can I learn more about what's going on around Loveland during this time?
A: We recommend you visit a couple sites: VisitLovelandCO, and Loveland Events and Happenings.


Q: Can I bring friends/family members who aren't participating?
A: No. We discourage this simply because we want the folks who paid to participate to receive the best experience, which was customized for them.  We also have a capacity at the venue, so we need to be careful and only allow those who registered to participate.

Q: What about bad weather?
A: All of our events take place rain, snow, or shine. It could be below zero, or 60 degrees. We never know on Valentine's Day. Dress appropriately.  The event will not be cancelled for weather, and we do not offer refunds.  We will have an emergency indoor backup location on reserve, should weather simply be intolerable.

Q: Where should I park?
A: There is public parking available all over downtown Loveland.  Use this LINK to view a parking map.

Q: For attire, do we have to be formal?
A: No, you can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Please dress for the weather.

“My Big Date,” a Valentine’s Day getaway in Loveland, Colorado
 
Loveland, Colorado January 4, 2016 – The brainchild of three Loveland-based, female owned business owners, My Big Date is an opportunity for couples to experience the Sweetheart City on Valentine’s Day.
 
In its third year, My Big Date represents three various outings on Valentine’s Day weekend in Loveland, Colorado including a brunch and brew tour, a spirits tour and, new this year, a VIP brunch and brew tour.
 
“Loveland is the perfect place to visit on Valentine’s Day and we’ve put together packages that celebrate some of the best this town has to offer,” said Christine Forster, founder of My Big Day Events, LLC, an event planning company in Loveland.
 
Each tour is provided transportation on NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC, a brewery tour service founded by Mechelle Martz-Mayfield. Colorado travel writer and promotor Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer, founder of HeidiTown.com, rounds out the three woman trio behind My Big Date.
 
“We want to make it easy for folks to enjoy Loveland on Valentine’s Day weekend. We provide the transportation, food and drinks so that guests can just sit back and enjoy the experience and enjoy each other,” said Martz-Mayfield.
 
There are three packages available this year, and space is limited.
 
On Saturday, February 13, 2016 there will be two Brunch & Brew packages offered. This package includes a coffee tasting at Loco Artisan Coffeehouse, a beer and brunch pairing at Grimm Brothers Brewhouse and a beer tasting paired with B. Sweet Cupcakes at Loveland Aleworks. Guests are then invited to spend some time strolling Loveland’s Fire & Ice Festival in downtown. Transportation between venues will be provided by NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC.
 
Also on Saturday, February 13, 2016, in the afternoon, there are two Spirits Tours available. Guests start their tour with cocktails and tapas at Origins Wine Bar in downtown Loveland and then proceed to Climb Hard Cider for a flight of delicious 10 delicious ciders. The last stop is Spring 44 for a spirits tasting and cupcakes from B. Sweet Cupcakes. Transportation between venues will be provided by NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC and time will be allotted for guests to experience the Fire & Ice Festival.
 
The VIP Brunch & Brew tour will be offered once on Sunday, February 14, 2016 only. This package is similar to the Saturday Brunch & Brew tour, but includes extras such as one six-pack per couple of Grimm’s special Valentine’s Day beer, Bleeding Heart, pint glasses from Loveland Aleworks, a bag of LOCO Artisan Coffee’s special Valentine’s Day blend and an additional stop at the Loveland Museum Gallery to tour the Sweetheart City, USA exhibit.
 
This year, My Big Date has collaborated with Candlewood Suites Loveland to offer a discounted room rate to the first ten couples who book a package.
 
 “I believe that once folks experience Loveland on My Big Date, they will want to come back again and again. We’re just giving them a small taste of what the Sweetheart City is all about and there’s so much more for them to discover,” said Kerr-Schlaefer.
 
The founders of My Big Date polled last year’s participants and 100% of guests who responded stated that they would take the tour again.
 
“We think that’s a pretty compelling endorsement of My Big Date,” said Forster. 
 
My Big Date packages are available for purchase at ValentinesDayinLoveland.com.
 
My Big Date is brought to you by My Big Day, LLC, NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC and HeidiTown.com, and has been endorsed by Visit Loveland. For more information on the subject matter of the press release call Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer at (970) 213-2354, email TheMayor@HeidiTown.com.
