This wedding weekend was the perfect embodiment of apres-ski culture. Think: warm candlelight, chic lodges, high-energy DJ-sets, and legendary winter fashion. With picturesque snow and the scenic surroundings, we layered in the couple’s personality with curated cocktail experiences, gourmet cuisine, and thoughtful designs.
We actually found Gemini through a friend referral and had an initial call with Jennifer to pick her brain on Vail Valley venues. She connected us with Meridith — and let me tell you, the two of them are truly a dream team. We loved our initial calls with both Jennifer and Meridith, and they put in so much research and effort corresponding with potential venues before we officially started working together. They gave us so much time and attention, and it was clear from the very start that Gemini takes amazing care of their couples. Once we officially decided on Beaver Creek as our wedding destination, hiring Gemini was an easy choice.
From there, we worked with Meridith and she put so much care into every detail and at every step of the process. From recommending incredible vendors to bringing creative ideas and providing expert advice throughout the entire planning process, Meridith was truly invaluable. She shared resources, thoughts, and documents throughout the process (to name a few: example vendor costs, a personalized budget, a fully built out task list and planning schedule, wedding website copy, vendor tipping guides) that made our lives so much easier. With her extensive experience not only in wedding planning but also in the restaurant and venue industry, she offered a unique and valuable perspective that made all the difference.
Not only is she highly experienced and professional, but she was also so much fun to work with. We clicked right away, and it was such a relief knowing we were in her hands. This especially rang true during our weekend of venue & vendor site visits and tastings — Meridith was incredibly organized and did an amazing job showing us exactly how everything would come to life at our venues. We left that trip feeling like we hit the jackpot.
We will forever and always recommend Meridith to any couple planning a wedding — especially in Colorado. Her local knowledge and vendor relationships helped create a wedding that we will be forever dreaming about. She was creative, mindful of our budget, and truly nailed our vision. Seeing everything come to life on our wedding day was even better than we could have ever imagined, and we had an absolute A-team of vendors thanks to Meridith.
Hiring Gemini was the best decision we made and set our wedding on the right track from the very start. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your hard work and kindness throughout the process, Meridith!
