The decision to 'elope', or in our case plan a very intimate wedding with only 10 family members, was one that was very long and thought through from every conceivable angle. Who would we hurt by not inviting? What if the travel arrangements became tedious? And, most importantly, would we have regrets about our wedding day later on? Although it felt concerning, your advice and support of our decision was what made our adventure from Texas even more worth while. You were our wedding planners, our therapist, our travel advisor and best of all you were our 'Fairy God Parents' that day in May. The flowers were spectacular, the photos are breathtaking and the ceremony you hand crafted for us is something we will cherish our entire lives. Every aspect that you touched of our wedding day came from your hearts, and that made it that much richer the experience. I'm so glad I took your advice and went ahead with my dream wedding gown and Alex rented his tuxedo - although I dreamed of wedding plans for years you were right - all of the aspects were there that were really important to us - we looked picture perfect and felt amazing, the backdrop was unparalleled to anything either of us have experienced, our families adored the activities we all enjoyed together. We also took your advice on the BBQ we will have in our backyard next month and look forward to celebrating with the rest of our friends and family. So the answer to the big question - any regrets? Absolutely NOT. The most important people were there by our sides, my parents and brother and his wife and Alex's mom and sister with her family. Instead of the money spent on a lavish wedding? We are excited to share with you that we are purchasing our first home together and will be official home owners the first of July! I just wanted to say that you provide an incredible service - not just the day of the wedding, but the true pleasure of getting to know you throughout the months leading up to our trip. You were always there to answer questions and guide us and I just want to say thank you so much. I'd be honored to be a reference for anyone who ever needs one. Thank you again for a romantic, memorable occasion... we look forward to staying in touch and will send you photos of our new home as soon as we are settled! - Liza and Alex, May 12, 2009 |

Dear
Kevin, We finally had a quiet moment to sit and reflect on our wedding day. As everyone warned us, the wedding went by in a blur, but because of you I will always remember our ceremony. You took the time to meet and talk with us; to see how we interacted with each other and assisted us in making the ceremony our own (a task the two of us were uncertain and nervous about). You expertly tailored our ceremony to one that melded the needs of our two families with ours and your personal interaction and fun sense of humor made everyone feel involved in the event (which is still mentioned these many months later!). Thanks for all your help during a great but stressful time! Sincerely, Jennifer and John Scott - Red Stone Inn |

Kevin, Thank you for making our wedding day such a beautiful experience! The location you suggested was breathtaking! The pictures are spectacular - Wow! There really are some amazing photos! You took so many and really captured the essence of all of us. I'm glad we purchased extra photography, choosing just a few photos would have been impossible! Your willingness to arrange flowers, pictures and the last minute request for music was very much appreciated!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Thank you for all you did to make this day such a treasure that we will never forget!! Phil, Tonja and the Girls - January 17, 2009 ____________________________________________________________ |

Kevin,
Thank you so very much first and foremost for sharing your own anniversary with us, this too was a very special day to us and our family. This special moment was a long time coming. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt words that expressed Casey and my love for one another and the love we have for our family. The words that you wrote for us was an expression to the world and before God the love we have and will share for the rest of our lives. The moment we met over the phone you took great interest in providing us with help and service. Even if it was a few hours in time, this time will last forever in our hearts and in our minds. The flowers, the cake, the champagne, the sparkling cider and the great photographer wrapped this day in the best Christmas present I could ever receive. Having our children all together to share in a special family vow and to be involved with our decision was the icing on the cake. I look forward in keeping in touch with a such a couple that continue to reach out to others with the talents that they have been blessed with. THANK YOU!!
FROM THE
FLADELAND FAMILY
CASEY, FRANNA,
JON, MITCH, KENNEDI AND TY!!

Kevin,
As I pondered how to describe our wedding day, not even the words "spectacular" or "visionary" would do... I just kept thinking over and over to myself... "WOW". A simple word with a powerful punch and it is perfect to describe you! When we decided to elope we had no idea where or how or when. We found your website and despite being a traditional bride and searching for endless hours, I always ended back at your website. Call it a magical draw or fate, but whatever it was was just too powerful! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect. It is as if you have known each of us for years... the words you spoke were not AT us, but TO us. The setting you suggested was truly magical for us and our families, and a spot that we look forward to revisiting every time we come to Colorado. If there was any way to bottle the love and emotions from our wedding day we would be wealthy people... but instead we will enjoy our little hidden riches between us and be wealthier than anyone could wish for. I hope that every couple considering a wedding that takes them on a spiritual journey into their love stumbles on to your website and reads my tribute to know that they need look no further - they have found the perfect place! I hope that you are blessed in return for the joy you have given us and many other couples I am sure!

Dear Kevin, Stephen and I wanted to thank you for our wonderful wedding ceremony. Although we were being attacked by mosquitoes and had an impending rain shower it still couldn't have been more perfect. Contacting someone over the Internet would make anybody a little apprehensive, but things turned out just great! Our special request wedding cake and bridal bouquet were just as ordered and the pictures were beautiful. We never expected to receive as many pictures as we did. Thanks again to you and your wife for making our wedding day turn out just as we dreamed it would be. Sincerely,
Stephen and Bonnie

" We just wanted to thank you for making our day so perfect and stress free. You really went the extra mile, and were willing to do whatever was necessary to make it easier for us. The photos were amazing and the cake was delicious. Thank you for getting the photos back to me so fast, they were a big hit to share at our reception! The ceremony was exactly what I was looking for. You were willing to add and delete any part, and that made it perfect. I don't think the event could have been near as easy and relaxed if the 2 of you weren't there. You're the best!" Luke and Luciana - August 9, 2008 |

How Our Wedding Day Was Saved...
So, there we were... all gathered together at the ceremony site with our family and friends... the only missing factor was the pastor we had hired - who FORGOT our wedding! A panic-filled but lucky jaunt up the road to Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch led us to find Kevin Cooper just leaving from the ceremony he performed earlier in the evening. I can only describe it as a true serendipitous moment!
Without even a second thought, Kevin jumped into his car and followed us to our site by the river, and without a moment's hesitation, he stepped in and performed a ceremony that we could not in a million years have wished for anything better. Our Pastor was planning the same-ole centuries old ceremony, but what we got was something out of a fairy tale book - like you had known us for months of planning!
Kevin - you were
truly a blessing to us that fateful Saturday
evening! You not only rescued our wedding day,
but you did it in a way that we can never thank you
enough for! Thank you for making everything OK
- and seeing to it that we were married in a
ceremony that we will never forget!

Kevin...
The two of you are an amazing pair - and we mean that as both an inspiration for us as a married couple and as a working team!
Your attention to every detail delivered a day that was beyond my dreams! I hope that every potential customer reads this to know that you are truly exceptional at what you both do... The ceremony that Kevin wrote for us couldn't have been any more reflective of us. Lorie - your flowers were a work of art, the cake was exactly what we wanted, and the photos were just spectacular - I don't know how you do it but you are truly a master in all aspects of weddings!
Our guests to this
day tell us they have been to dozens of weddings but
nothing as special as ours - and we have you to
thank for that!

" Kevin, I wanted to take a minute to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my ceremony with the music. I can't believe that I forgot it in all of the rush of last minute preparation, and was so amazed that you keep a CD of wedding music right there in your folder! I couldn't imagine walking down the isle without it!
The ceremony was beautiful, just the way we wanted it. My daughter's tears of joy were so special to me. Then when Pete choked up during his vows, I knew that we made the right decision having you perform our ceremony! For that moment in time, it was only Pete and I in the world. I will cherish that forever.
We got so many compliments about your family sand ceremony. I loved the significance and meaning around it. I will, without a doubt, recommend you to the next bride-to-be I meet." - Shellie & Pedro

Levi and I would like to thank you for your amazing
work at our wedding. From our first phone call to
the day of the wedding you were informative, kind,
funny and absolutely essential to our perfect day.
We absolutely loved it; both of us will never forget
the hand ceremony. It was our favorite piece. The
entire ceremony was uniquely made for us and fit my
husband and I to a tee. We have received numerous
compliments about what an exceptional job you did
for us. Thank you for everything. - Levi & Tera

Kevin,
I can't tell you how many compliments we've received

sculpture, everything. You did such a phenomenal
job. Thank you for your participation in this
meaningful event and for your endless
professionalism. |

"Kevin, My husband and I
want to send a heartfelt thank you for the
incredible job you did for our daughter Trina's
wedding last month (August, 2007). As we are
not members of any specific church, we were
concerned about finding an officiant that would take
a personal interest in Trina and Jeremy's wedding
ceremony, and not a JP who we barely knew. Not
only did you take interest, but you became an
extension of our family during the planning process.
Your help with finding vendors, to our general
wedding planning crisis situations, you were the
calm in our storm. Your entire staff was so
helpful, beyond and above what any other vendor
would ever undertake. The ceremony couldn't
have been more representative of them... from the
nature ceremony with the stones and your beautiful
reading of how it included every member of our
wedding party and guests, to the vows you helped
them each to write. While we are not
religious, we consider ourselves spiritual, and you
were truly meant to be a part of not only the
wedding, but as part of this new family union!
Please use me as a reference for anyone who ever
needs one, I am sure that after talking with us they
won't even conceptualize using anyone else to
oversee their ceremony. I wish the very best
for you, you have truly found your gift and bless
every union you perform I am sure!" -

"Kevin
Cooper was eminently professional and absolutely
indispensable in creating the detail and atmosphere that
made my daughters wedding what many of our guests would
tell me was the most beautiful weddings they had ever
attended. He became our liaison with hotel staff
and took the responsibility of seeing to it that the
knew and acted on the necessary specifics of what was to
occur during the ceremony."

"The weather was perfect, the setting with Sprague Lake and the snowcapped divide in the background combined with your touching ceremony that was specially designed for our daughter and our son-in-law made for a day that is very memorable for a mother and father of the bride. Thank you so much for the beautifully touching ceremony that you performed for our daughter's wedding. The personal touches that you added to the service were very meaningful and humorous. You were very pleasurable to work with and thank you for being so flexible with our scheduling considerations. "

“When we decided to elope we imagined a plain, canned
ceremony, but boy, were we amazed! You took the time to
find out who WE are and how we wanted to express our
love. Even though we don’t consider ourselves religious,
your ceremony was truly spiritual in a way we’ll always
remember. Although we married on that mountain with just
the 3 of us, you made us king and queen of the world,
and it is something we’ll treasure in our hearts
forever!”

"You recently
performed the wedding for our daughter, and as a mother,
a wife, and a member of the audience I wanted to thank
you. Most weddings generate memories of our own
ceremonies, but there was something about your words
that touched myself, my husband and many of our guests.
You brought out the true meaning of unity and commitment
in marriage, and not only bound together our daughter
and her new husband that day, but reunited many of the
relationships in the room as well. Thank you for
making the day not just about the show, which I am
afraid happens so much... you truly stopped time for a
moment that day and reminded us all of why we were
really gathered together. We will be celebrating
our 25th wedding anniversary later this year, and I
would be honored if you would consider performing a
renewal of vows for us!"

“We wanted you to know how grateful we were for such a beautiful service. Even as nervous as I was, I never felt like anything other than beautiful. Your way of accommodating my children truly united us as a family. I’ve never been happier, and you made one of the most memorable experiences of our lives even more special!”
