About Us

Marry Me In Colorado is owned and operated by Kevin and Lorie Cooper, a husband and wife team married for 26 years.  They started MMIC in 2003 after seeing a need for affordable alternatives to large scale weddings that still provide clients with fairytale memories.   Whether you need individual services such as officiating, finding a justice of peace or photography, or an all-inclusive package to make your planning simplified, MMIC is an family owned company and NOT a conglomerate of individuals.  You will never be 'assigned' to complete strangers just before your big day. This means that from your initial conversation to your wedding day services to the follow up and delivery of your wedding photos you work with the same team of incredible, resourceful, creative, romantic and caring people to make your wedding experience into a lifetime of memories!
