Creating unforgettable celebrations that will become part of your story forever.
The name of the company, Artisan Events, reflects the way we approach wedding planning in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado. To be an Artisan is to be skilled in handcrafting an item, producing it lovingly and perfectly. An artisanal product is the antithesis of mass production; each one has its own unique stamp and appearance. By choosing to hold a wedding in Vail or Beaver Creek, you have already set your wedding apart from the others. Our incredible mountaintop settings, beautiful chapels, and outdoor wedding venues lend an undeniable special character to the wedding weekend.
We listen to our bride and groom's ideas, their heritage and family traditions, their hobbies and interests, and why they selected the Vail Valley as their wedding site. We start with broad strokes and refine the wedding style as we go along, always focused on creating an event bearing the distinctive print of the bride, groom, and their families.

Hello, I'm Caroyln Moorman.
I grew up in Pensacola, Florida and graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been in the wedding consultation business in the Vail Valley since 1999 when we moved here from Los Angeles.
When you grow up in the South, you are surrounded and trained in the art of Southern hospitality. In planning a destination wedding, it is part of my job to assist my brides in structuring the entire event. The wedding weekend has a beginning, a middle and an end and it should all flow seamlessly from one event to the next. It is my belief that the bride and groom are taking charge of their guests' happiness for the entire time that they are in Colorado; therefore, I work diligently to make sure that our guests are comfortable and well informed about all of the details for events, from locations to transportation schedules. It is my goal that the guests get on the plane bound for home saying, "Wasn't that the most incredible wedding you've ever been to?"
Wedding Planning Services
We offer wedding services ranging from “day of ” to full service planning and coordination. At both levels, your event will be carefully managed and staffed by 2 of our professional team members. We work with your officiant to organize the rehearsal and then are with you all day on Wedding Day until the last guest has departed the reception.
Day of Planning
For the bride and groom who have identified the venues and vendors that they would like to employ, but who need assistance with the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception.
We approach “day of” planning (really a misnomer) completely differently than most coordinators in that we prefer to be involved in the process as early as possible. Be wary of any planner who pretends that they can show up on the wedding day and expect to know precisely what is going on! We would prefer to guide you in vendor selections, event timelines, etc., to assure a seamless experience for you and your family.
full service planning
For the bride and groom who need assistance in creating their budget, selecting the team of vendors they would like to use, monitoring contracts, creating a wedding weekend itinerary, and directing the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception.
Our full service allows you and your family to enjoy not only the wedding, but also the planning process without undue stress. We schedule and attend meetings with potential vendors, helping you to select those professionals who will best be able to bring your vision into reality. In this way, you avoid the waste of time and money. We will assist you in preparing all of the elements of the wedding weekend, from the welcome cocktail party to the farewell brunch. We will assist the officiate with the rehearsal and be on site for the ceremony and reception to make certain that the day runs smoothly and on schedule.
