Planning a wedding shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job.
You’ve got 50 Chrome tabs open, a dozen 'saved' collections on Instagram, and no real way to know if you’re making the right choices. Join us at Echo Mountain on May 9th to trade the screen time for face time, where you can see the pros 'walk the talk' and experience how your celebration could actually come together in person, not just on a brochure.
Location: Echo Mountain | Idaho Springs, CO
Date & Time: Saturday, May 9th from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
(Every ticket includes a FREE Lift Ticket + Tubing Pass for next season!)
What is an "Unbridal Show"
We believe wedding planning should feel like a celebration, not a chore. Most ways to find vendors involve staring at a screen or walking past rows of brochures. We’ve turned that model upside down.
At an Unbridal Show, you aren't just "attending" an event, you’re stepping into an immersive, themed-wedding reception.
-
See the Talent: Hear our DJ and roaming violinist perform live.
-
Taste the Vision: Experience the food and drinks in a real-world setting.
-
No Pressure: We’ve done away with hard sales pitches. Every professional here is focused on building genuine connections and helping you find the right fit for your day.
Your $12 Ticket Pays for Itself (and then some!)
We aren’t just giving you a bag with brochures.
Every attendee walks away with over $150 in tangible planning tools and perks:

Every guest receives a FREE lift ticket and a tubing ticket for next season at Echo Mountain. Your next winter adventure is on us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same Echo Mountain like the ski slope?
Indeed it is! And now, it could be your future wedding venue. Come see all the amazing things and incredible views this property has to offer.
Is there parking?
Yes! There's plenty of free parking available on-site at Echo Mountain.
Will there be food & drinks?
Absolutely. The venue will showcase a selection of their appetizers, and several dessert vendors will be on site too. Alcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase.
I'm a bride/groom or attending with the bride/groom. Will my email address be given to the vendors?
No! Unlike traditional bridal shows, we want to give couples the power of choosing who to connect with. So if you like someone's work or enjoy a conversation with a vendor, please request their info or business card. Of course you're welcome to give out your info to vendors you hit it off with!
I'm a bride/groom and really hate the "hard sales" tactics at other shows. Will this be like that?
No! We don't think hard sales tactics feel good to anyone involved. You shouldn't feel pressured into signing up when you haven't had the time you need to think through that investment. Our spotlight vendors have agreed that they won't push sales and instead focus on building genuine connections.
Stay tuned for our vendor lineup!
