Rethinking the way
Colorado does "I do."

Bringing together Colorado event pros & couples through fresh, face-to-face experiences.

The wedding industry is full of closed doors. Between national pricey associations, untrustworthy directories, and members-only circles, too many talented, kind, and creative professionals are getting shut out.

And today's Colorado couples? They're left navigating overwhelming amounts of information while being bombarded with broken and misguided marketing/sales practices, leaving them feeling icked out and indecisive about one of the most significant days of their lives. 

It doesn't have to be this way...

Welcome to the
5280 Event Society

We create inclusive, experience-driven spaces where couples can meet the people behind the businesses, and where professionals connect with creative, dependable peers they actually want to work with.

For engaged couples:

We're throwing a wedding, and you're invited.

Tired of bridal shows that feel like a pressure cooker of giveaways, sales pitches, and spammy follow-up emails?

So were we.


Our "Unbridal Shows" are fresh takes on how couples meet vendors. We’re scrapping booths, outlawing hard selling, and erasing generic, mass follow-ups. 

Unbridal Shows are for you if...

You couldn't care less about scoring all the freebies

You value getting to know potential vendors on your terms

You want wedding planning to feel more like a party

What couples are saying

"I loved that vendors were actually showing their products/services. I also deeply enjoyed being able to sit down and have conversations with the vendors about their prices. Nothing felt scammy and I did not feel pressured at all but was inspired to continue my conversations."

For wedding pros:

Feeling stuck trying to connect

with couples and other pros?

Traditional wedding expos and pricey associations aren’t cutting it anymore. They often feel outdated, expensive, and out of touch with the way today’s couples actually plan their weddings.

What vendors are saying

“We’ve been to plenty of wedding industry networking events, but 5280 Event Society really stood out. Everything was intentional, creative, and interactive, and it encouraged real connections. It also had a real impact on our business, with new referrals and stronger relationships.”
