Cold Hands, Warm Hearts at the Loveland Valentine’s Day Group Wedding

Northern Colorado might have had temperatures below zero on Valentine’s day, but there were plenty of warm hearts full of love at the 2021 Loveland Valentine’s Day Group Wedding, presented by My Big Day Marketing & Events.

Couples from all over Northern Colorado and beyond braved the cold weather to celebrate their love at this annual event. This year’s wedding included 17 couples who were tying the knot for the first time!  

While wildly successful and full of fun, this event was a case study in why wedding couples should always consider hiring an event planner or event planning team!
Things don’t always go as planned
The original ceremony was supposed to take place among the statues and sculptures at the Chapungu Sculpture Park. However, sub-zero temperatures forced MBD Marketing & Events to make the difficult decision to move the 4pm and 5pm ceremonies indoors. This decision was made out of abundance of caution for the participants’ safety and health.

Right before the 4pm ceremony was set to start, an unfamiliar sound interrupted the mic checks and check-in process - the sound of rushing water. The cold weather had produced frozen pipes and a water main break in the front of the store that had been converted into the wedding venue! The MBD Marketing & Events team jumped into “bucket brigade” mode, and kept the registration area from flooding until the facilities crew and Loveland Fire Department could get the break under control. The team and crews worked so quickly and quietly, that many of the wedding couples were unaware of the emergency!

Plan B is for Beautiful
Decorations, hearts, and lights helped to transform the old New York & Co. store into a beautiful wedding chapel. Couples were ushered in and directed to their socially distanced ceremony spots by the smooth sounds of local musician, Branden Sipes.

Todd Harding served as the Officiant for both ceremonies. Couples shared their personal wedding vows among thoughtful wisdom and romantic readings during the ceremonies.
Some couples shared vows for the first time, while others renewed their original vows from 40 year prior! 

At the end of the ceremony, Todd pronounced the couples as married or still married, and the celebration moved out in front of the store where event partner, On The Rocks Mobile Bar - and plenty of mobile heaters, were waiting to offer each of the couples a congratulatory toast, complete with signature cocktails!
A Team Effort
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the partnership and cooperation of a team of individuals and organizations.

WEATHER ALERT - 2.14.21

2/14/2021

0 Comments

 
(emailed to all guests on 2/13/21)

​Dear Wedding & Vow Renewal Guests,


With your safety and the safety of our vendors and partners in mind, we are altering the plan for your ceremony tomorrow to the Plan B we mentioned.
Here is what you can expect:

  *   Registration looks the same for timing.
  *   The photo booth experience is the same.
  *   Valentina will be onsite still for photos with everyone.
  *   Your ceremony will move indoors. This allows for the full ceremony, live music, and a more comfortable experience.
  *   The ceremony location is at the same address as registration. It is an all white, indoor space- perfect for a wedding, considering the weather.
  *   Post ceremony, enjoy a celebratory toast right outside the doors of your ceremony. The walkway will be heated for you as well.
  *   The best part: The entire sculpture park is filled with vignettes, such as a heart tunnel of love, for you to take photos. The light dusting of snow will be ideal for photo ops!
  *   We will have multiple photographers available to capture photos outdoors. Our event planners can take photos with your camera as well.

The slight change to ceremony location is based on the latest weather reports, and COVID safety regulations. Our team cares most about your safety and overall experience.
By hosting the ceremony indoors, this allows you to enjoy the music and the message, then use the limited time you want to spend in the cold to take memorable photos!

COVID Safety:
With an indoor space, this understandably limits our guest count compared to the outdoor space. The venue is very large. Based on the square footage, we can allow no more than 100 guests. We ask that you not bring guests with you indoors, unless you need to have small children who are in your care. The state law and county regulations changed about a week ago to allow for more people indoors for events and life celebrations. Based on the square footage calculator, 100 people is our cap.
Our team will be masked, you will see signage and hand sanitizer everywhere, you will receive a new pen for you to keep when signing your certificate.... we will take every precaution to keep you safe so you can enjoy your Big Day!

We are so excited to celebrate your love tomorrow!
We wish the weather were warmer, but the day will be perfect regardless!

We are so thankful for all of the wonderful, positive couples, vendors, staff and supporters who are excited about the wedding tomorrow! We know it will be bitter cold, and have made accommodations. All couples have received a minimum of 4 confirmation emails with additional details for your Big Day. If you are not receiving emails, please contact us by phone and be sure to check your spam folder. Emails are going to the email address you entered at check out.

Again, here is the messaging about weather:

Brrr.... the forecast looks cold for Sunday. Don't worry, we've done this plenty of times! The check-in area is LARGE and heated. We have outdoor patio heaters, and there are plenty of warms stores for you to duck into if you like. The ceremony will be outdoors, but you will not be outside for long. We promise the photos are worth it!  Should there be a blizzard, we of course, have a plan B and plan C. You will know about any change in plans in advance. Our indoor back-up location is the 6,500 sq ft space we are using for check-in. It's beautiful!

Stay healthy, dress warm. See you soon!
