Planning a wedding is no small feat, and when you’re on a tight timeline, the pressure can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back! SKYLIGHT’s expert in-house planning team, 828 Planning, is led by Erin and Sophie, who specialize in turning last-minute wedding dreams into reality. Whether you’ve decided to say “I do” in just a few weeks or had an unexpected change of plans, we’re here to make sure your Denver wedding is everything you’ve ever wanted—minus the stress.
Ready to dive in? Here are Erin and Sophie’s top tips for pulling off a last-minute wedding in Denver with grace and ease.
Embrace Simplicity with Your Guest List
When time is of the essence, scaling down your guest list is one of the easiest ways to streamline your planning process. A more intimate celebration allows you to focus on creating a meaningful experience for your closest friends and family.
Instead of traditional paper invitations, consider sending out digital invites through platforms like Paperless Post or Evite. They’re fast, customizable, and perfect for last-minute communication. Plus, fewer guests mean less time spent on logistics like seating charts and catering, giving you the freedom to focus on the bigger picture.
Choose a Flexible Venue
Booking a flexible venue like SKYLIGHT can be a game-changer for last-minute weddings, especially with our in-house planning services. Our 828 Planning team can eliminate the need for you to juggle multiple vendors by coordinating everything from furniture rentals to floral arrangements, ensuring a seamless experience. On top of that, SKYLIGHT’s flexible vendor policy allows you the freedom to customize the day to fit your budget and aesthetic, a common downfall of all-inclusive venues. You don’t have to sacrifice vision for ease here!
Be Flexible with Your Date
If your wedding timeline is tight, choosing an off-peak day can open up a world of possibilities. Weekdays or Sunday weddings are often easier to book and may come with reduced rates for venues and vendors.
According to Erin, “Being flexible with your wedding date not only expands your options but also gives you a better chance of securing top-tier vendors at short notice.”
And let’s not forget the charm of an offbeat wedding day—it gives your celebration a unique touch while keeping your budget and timeline in check.
Tap Into Local Resources
Denver is bursting with talented vendors who know how to work magic under pressure. From caterers specializing in small, intimate gatherings to photographers who excel in spontaneous shoots, going local can save you time and stress.
Sophie suggests working with vendors who are already familiar with SKYLIGHT, as they’ll know the space inside and out. “SKYLIGHT’s Epic Vendors have a higher level of familiarity with our space, which ensures your day flows smoothly and looks spectacular.” Need recommendations outside of this list? Our team has worked with several other vendors in Denver and can help you find the perfect fit!
Prioritize What Matters Most
When planning a last-minute wedding, it’s essential to focus on what truly matters to you and your partner. Whether it’s a specific style of décor, an unforgettable meal, or live music, prioritizing your must-haves will make decision-making easier and keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
Erin and Sophie recommend creating a list of your top three priorities and sticking to it. “Remember, your wedding is about celebrating your love. Don’t sweat the small stuff—it’s the big moments that count,” says Erin.
