I met Alea soon after she and Ashley bought Juniper Mountain House, a bed and breakfast in Evergreen Colorado. They were wanting to host weddings  and asked me to come see the property.

Their wedding was the first at Juniper. The trick was making sure they could host their wedding at a venue they owned while simultaneously making sure they could fully enjoy their day.

When we sat down to talk through what they wanted for their wedding one of the questions we talked through was what they loved to do. Both of them commented on how they loved good food and good wine.

They wanted to be able to treat their guests to a multi course meal with wine pairings by their favorite sommelier. In between courses their loved ones gave speeches and shared kind words.
