0 Comments

 
On Valentine’s Day, love was truly in the air as 22 couples gathered at Sweet Heart Winery in Loveland to exchange vows or renew their commitments at the 9th Annual Loveland Valentine’s Group Wedding & Vow Renewal ceremony. With the perfect blend of romance, wine, and touching moments, the event once again proved why Loveland is known as the Sweetheart City!

“It just makes sense,” said officiant Todd Harding. “It’s the Sweetheart City, it’s Valentine’s Day, The Sweet Heart Winery. I mean this is perfect.”

The setting provided the perfect spot for an emotional ceremony where couples declared or reaffirmed their love. The space was decorated beautifully, and there was live music adding to the romantic atmosphere. ​

For Karin & Andrew Martinez, the experience was nothing short of amazing:
 
“What an experience! We participated in the annual Loveland Valentine’s Group Wedding and what a fantastic experience!
We had no idea what to expect, and the event exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this event to everyone - skip the courthouse and save the date and buy tickets for Valentine’s Day at Sweet Heart Winery!
The communication through email was great, the photographers and Photo Booth operators were fun, the tasting room staff were enthusiastic and passionate about wine, and the ceremony ran smoothly. Everyone involved really put their heart and soul into making a special event. The officiant conducted a sweet, heartfelt ceremony and the live music was wonderful! An easy, stress-free experience.”

The Big Deal Company team was proud to play a role in making this event a success. Christine and Carrie provided readings during the ceremony, while Tiffany helped with decor and guided couples through the lineup before they walked down the aisle.
 
As glasses clinked and couples shared their first (or renewed) kiss as spouses, the afternoon was a reminder that love always finds its way in Loveland.
 
Cheers to the happy couples, and here’s to another year of love in the Sweetheart City!

And that's not all – every participating couple stands a chance to win a huge gift basket of prizes and unforgettable experiences valued at over $4,000! Picture yourself in custom Eagles hockey jerseys, riding the Fanboni, hitting the starting buzzer for the game, celebrating with your wedding party in a private suite during the hockey game, and stealing the spotlight during “NoCo’s Biggest Kiss” on the Kiss Cam!
 
Led by the charismatic Todd Harding, legendary radio host, and serenaded by the soulful tunes of Branden Sipes – this custom wedding ceremony promises to leave not a dry eye. The music? It's up to the registered couples to vote on the soundtrack of their special day. It's no wonder some romantics have made this event an annual tradition!
 
All of this for just $160 per couple. Guests will receive an unforgettable experience complete with photos, a personalized ceremony, music, and a treasure trove of gifts and prizes.
