Planning Your Wedding from Afar: How We Support Destination and Out-of-Town Couples
If Colorado is calling your name but you live miles away, you are in the right place. Planning a wedding from another state, or another country, can feel exciting and overwhelming all at once. You want the beauty of the Rockies, the energy of Denver, and the ease of a celebration that feels like you. You also want a partner who can translate your vision from Zoom calls into a day that runs smoothly in real life. That is where we come in.
At A Touch of Bliss, we help destination and out-of-town couples plan with confidence. With smart tools, attentive communication, and local know-how, we make the process feel simple, warm, and personal, even when we are planning from different time zones.
How a Denver wedding planner supports you from day one
When you are planning from afar, you need a team that acts as your eyes, ears, and advocates in Colorado. As your Denver wedding planner, we guide each step, keep your to-dos on track, and protect your time and
budget.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
Welcome call to map your vision, priorities, and guest logistics
Curated venue and vendor shortlists that match your style, budget, and availability
Virtual venue tours, recorded walk-throughs, and side-by-side comparisons
Transparent timelines and task lists so you always know what is next
Regular update calls and quick email or text check-ins
Real words from our couples say it best. “We planned from the East Coast and could not visit before booking. A Touch of Bliss toured venues for us, sent videos, and helped us choose the perfect space. By the time we flew in for tasting week, everything felt easy and taken care of.”
Do you need to visit Colorado before your wedding?
Short answer, not necessarily. Plenty of our couples book their venue, vendors, and design direction without stepping foot in Colorado until wedding week. We provide robust visuals, clear comparisons, and professional guidance so you can make decisions confidently.
That said, if travel is possible, we love to schedule a focused planning trip. Think of it as a mini retreat where we line up tastings, a venue walk-through, and a design review in two to three days. If travel is not realistic, we handle it all virtually, including:
Live streamed walk-throughs with measure-as-we-go floor planning
Boxed sample kits for stationery, linens, or favors mailed to you
Video tastings with chef introductions and pre-shipped sample menus when available
Final timeline review calls with all key vendors
Either way, you are supported and never out of the loop.
Tools and services that make remote planning easier
We lean on user-friendly tools that give you clarity without extra noise. Our favorites include:
Shared planning portal with your budget, contracts, checklists, and timelines
Real-time guest list and RSVP tracking, including meal selections and hotel blocks
Mood boards and color palettes that evolve as your ideas do
Floor plans and seating charts with drag and drop updates
Group chat for quick decisions and day-saving questions
On the service side, you can choose what fits best:
Full service wedding planning for hands-on partnership from concept to send-off
Month of coordination for couples who plan most details but want a pro to finalize and execute
Day of support for timeline, vendor management, and a calm lead on site

Local know-how that saves you time and stress
Colorado is gorgeous, and it has quirks. Weather can shift quickly. Mountain venues often have curfews, shuttle needs, and vendor access windows. Denver venues may require specific permits or insurance. We anticipate those details and prepare early, including:
Backup weather plans with clear triggers and staffing
Transportation timelines for shuttles and ride shares
Power and lighting checks for outdoor spaces
Load-in schedules that match venue rules
Vendor referrals we trust for reliability and quality
Our team has coordinated celebrations at favorites across the state, from Arrowhead Golf Club to Red Rocks, and chic downtown spaces. We pair that experience with your style so the day feels distinctly yours.
A simple long-distance planning checklist
Use this as your high-level roadmap:
1. Clarify your must haves, guest count range, and budget comfort zone.
2. Choose your date window, then shortlist venues that fit season and vibe.
3. Hire your planner early so we can lock in the best vendors and rates.
4. Decide if you will visit for a planning trip or keep everything virtual.
5. Secure venue and top vendors, think photography, catering, music, florals.
. Build your guest experience, travel info, room blocks, welcome party ideas.
7. Finalize design, rentals, and floor plans with virtual reviews. Confirm timeline, transportation, and weather backup plan.
9. Pack and ship personal items with a labeled inventory list.
10. Arrive in Colorado feeling ready, we will handle the rest.
What our out-of-town couples say
“We live in Chicago and wanted a mountain view ceremony with a modern reception in Denver. Our planner balanced both perfectly. We never felt the distance, just support.”
“As an overseas couple, time zones worried us. A Touch of Bliss set clear communication windows and sent detailed weekly recaps. We walked into our wedding week calm and excited.”
