Micro-Wedding at Taylor River Lodge in Almont, CO | Taylor & Adam — Wildly Collective | Joshua Tree and Palm Springs Wedding and Elopement Planner

Bride and groom riding a tandem bike in Colorado

Taylor and Adam came to us with the sweetest vision: a weekend getaway in the Rockies with just nine of their loved ones.

A weekend to spoil their family, soak in nature, and celebrate in the same adventurous spirit that defines their relationship.

Their celebration began with laid-back activities around the lodge—fly fishing on the river, indulgent massages at the spa, and seasonal, locally inspired meals that showcased the best of Colorado. Taylor River Lodge truly knows how to make guests feel cared for with effortless hospitality.

Thursday evening set the tone with a welcome BBQ. Taylor and Adam made their entrance on a tandem bike, greeted by cheers and loved ones dressed in western attire. Guests sipped a seasonal cherry-infused cocktail before sitting down to a multi-course meal. The night ended around a glowing bonfire with smores and tea.

Friday was the big day, and in true Taylor-and-Adam fashion, it began with adventure. White water rafting on your wedding day? We hadn’t heard of it either, but we were thrilled to add it to their itinerary. With an intimate guest list and a low-pressure mentality, the couple had the freedom to start their wedding morning with adrenaline!

Taylor got ready in the cabin she shared with her sister, mom, and their family dog. Their ceremony was as personal as it was heartfelt: a reading from the bride’s sister, a song from the groom’s sister, and an officiant who happened to be the friend that accidentally witnessed their very first date at a park in Denver (he was out on a run!).

Cocktail hour brought espresso martinis and lounging near the river. Dinner was a coursed meal filled with heartfelt toasts from every guest, and the evening ended with dances between the couple and their parents.

Their weekend was the opposite of performative—it was humble, intentional, and deeply authentic. We feel so honored to have been part of such a meaningful celebration.
