WHAT: The Trail to Forever

WHEN: September 12th, 2026

WHERE: Purgatory

COORDINATORS: Taylor, Jael, Dante, Amber

VIBES: Joy, Adventure, Nature

These are a few of my favorite things:

Meet Me at The Top

Morgan + Josh love to hike and camp in their free time and choosing Purgatory as their venue was a perfect fit for this adventure-loving couple. The adventure started before the ceremony even began. Morgan + Josh rode the ski lift to the Paradise Ceremony Site before the guests and shared private vows and took some STELLAR couple portraits with beautiful clouds framing the background.

Then, guests boarded the ski lift and made their way up the mountain, taking in the views as they climbed toward the ceremony site. It turned the trip to the altar into part of the experience for guests, an unforgettable ride to the top. When guests arrived, they were greeted with a stunning view complemented by a simple wooden cross on the alter.

Here’s what the couple had to say:

“Taylor and the PDC were amazing! I couldn’t recommend them enough. They made our wedding and the whole planning process so smooth and seamless. Taylor was great at answering all our questions and helping guide us when we needed help. She truly made our day so special and we couldn’t have done it without her and the whole PDC team. If you have any doubt about who to use for your wedding day coordinator look no further because they are truly the best of the best!!”

Creating the Perfect Home Decor

Instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed a pair of wooden skis with notes and well wishes for the newlyweds. It was such a fun nod to the mountain setting and their love of adventure—and now the skis can live on as a meaningful piece of decor in the couple’s home, filled with messages from everyone who celebrated alongside them.

Guests could also grab a candy treat while signing the skis. The couple had bags of the groom's favorite (peanut M & Ms) and the bride's favorite (nerd clusters).

Disco with Dad

This father-daughter dance was anything but traditional, it was pure EPIC vibes. With sunglasses on, the music turned up, and plenty of groovy moves, these two made the most of their moment on the dance floor. It was playful, full of personality, and a perfect reminder that some of the best wedding moments are the ones where you just have fun with it.
