When Gissella and Gage envisioned their wedding day, they knew they wanted something intimate, meaningful, and cost-conscious. With just 34 guests, they chose to celebrate their love with a romantic, nature-inspired micro wedding at Dillon Marina Park Pavilion in Colorado. Elevate Wedding Officiant was honored to be a part of their special day, coordinating every detail and officiating their heartfelt ceremony.
To keep their guest count down, Gissella and Gage invited only their immediate family, creating an atmosphere of closeness and connection. This decision allowed them to focus on the moments that truly mattered while keeping costs manageable for their dream destination wedding.
One of the biggest advantages of a micro wedding is the ability to have a stunning destination event without breaking the bank. With the help of Elevate Wedding Officiant, the couple spent $6,333 (not including food), proving that an unforgettable wedding doesn’t have to come with an extravagant price tag.
From the breathtaking mountain views to the soft, romantic details, the wedding’s overall theme perfectly reflected Gissella and Gage’s love story. Their celebration blended rustic charm with elegance, with the natural beauty of Dillon providing a stunning backdrop for their vows.
While planning, the couple was pleasantly surprised by how easy everything came together—something many micro wedding couples appreciate. On the wedding day itself, one of the most memorable moments was watching all the women rally together to bustle Gissella’s gown— a lighthearted, joyful memory that perfectly captured the day’s spirit.
Gissella got ready in a relaxed setting at their hotel room, where Sunshine Beauty Bridal provided hair and makeup. The ceremony was especially unique, as it was conducted bilingually to honor both cultures, making it a deeply personal and inclusive experience.
Gissella and Gage chose to honor classic wedding traditions, including “repeat after me” vows and a ring exchange. They also incorporated a deeply personal touch—having guests sign the bride’s father’s hat in remembrance of him. This sentimental detail made the celebration even more special and meaningful.
Some of the couple’s favorite moments included their special dance together, beautifully captured on video. The short reception featured cake, champagne, and a first dance before the couple headed off for an intimate dinner later in the evening. The day was a perfect balance of simplicity and elegance, allowing them to focus on their love and the people who matter most.
A talented team of vendors brought Gissella and Gage’s vision to life:
