A Disco Cowboy Wedding at Crested Butte

Megan (she/her) and Hayden (they/them) planned a weekend in Crested Butte that couldn’t have felt more like them. They said “I do” surrounded by aspen trees and mountain views at the Woods Walk, then partied the night away with their closest people at the Public House. With good beer, great music, and even a surprise rainbow making an appearance, it was a celebration full of love and laughter. Let me tell you how it all came together.

How did the two of you meet, and what drew you to each other?

We met during college in Boulder, Colorado, through a group of mutual friends. Megan was instantly drawn to Hayden’s calm, steady energy, while Hayden loved Megan’s playful spirit and humor. From the beginning, it felt easy, like we’d known each other forever. Over time, our shared love for the outdoors, music, and even Wordle brought us even closer.

What made you choose Crested Butte as your wedding destination?

Crested Butte holds a special place in our hearts because it’s where we’ve spent some of our favorite adventures. 

The beauty of the mountains and the charm of the town felt like the perfect setting to bring all our loved ones together. Plus, we wanted a destination that felt like “us” – somewhere outdoorsy but still cozy, with plenty of good food, beer, and stunning scenery.

Can you tell us about your ceremony at the Woods Walk ceremony site?

The Woods Walk ceremony site was everything we dreamed of. Nestled among aspen trees with stunning mountain views, it felt intimate and peaceful. We exchanged vows surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. 

The setting couldn’t have been more perfect – it was simple, natural, and full of love. We even had our families and closest friends involved, which made it all the more meaningful.

What was the vibe of your reception at the Public House?

The reception was an absolute party! The Public House in town was the ideal spot—it has this laid-back yet lively vibe, which was exactly what we wanted. Our family and friends brought so much energy, and the night was filled with dancing, laughter, and a lot of great beer. One of the highlights was the incredible rainbow that appeared during the evening. It felt like the universe was celebrating with us.

What were some of your favorite personal touches?

We wanted our wedding to feel authentically “us,” so we incorporated a lot of personal details. Megan wore a stunning sequined suit at the reception, which was such a fun twist. Hayden kept things classic with a sharp brown suit and cowboy hat. 

Our ceremony included nods to our favorite songs and traditions that reflect our relationship. And let’s not forget the playlist, it was packed with all the music we love, which kept everyone on the dance floor all night.

What advice would you give to other couples planning a wedding?

Our biggest advice is to make it about what feels right for you. Don’t get caught up in trying to please everyone, this day is about your love and your story. Also, having a strong support system made everything so much easier. 

Our families and friends pitched in to help bring our vision to life, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Oh, and make time to soak it all in because it goes by in a flash.

Looking back, what’s one moment that stands out to you?

There were so many incredible moments, but one that stands out was dancing under the disco ball at the Public House with all our favorite people cheering us on. 

We felt completely surrounded by love and joy. 

And, of course, the rainbow during our reception felt magical, like a sign of good things to come.
