who we are A Colorado native, I was born and raised in Boulder. My college years were spent studying at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and at L'Universite de Sorbonne in Paris. After graduation, I moved to Chicago, where I had the privilege of helping with day-of coordination for the fabulous Birch Design Studio. Working on some very high-end weddings and events inspired me, and allowed me to gain invaluable experience in the industry. In addition to three years learning from the best of the best at Birch Design Studio, I founded a successful small business in 2006. Running this business provided me with experience in managing employees, negotiating contracts, creating vendor partnerships, and establishing a realistic operating budget..... all skills that contribute significantly to making me a more savvy event planner. After planning my own wedding in Vail, my husband and I moved back to Colorado and I founded The Celebration Studio. Life is short, and I decided that I wanted to spend my days doing what I love and what inspires me..... planning events is exactly that.Since starting The Celebration Studio, I've planned a variety of events including birthday parties, showers, charity events, holiday parties, commitment ceremonies and weddings. I accept a limited number of events at any given time, so that I can focus 100% on my clients - ensuring they receive an unparalleled level of service, and that their events are executed perfectly. I love what I do. Not only because this job incorporates many of my favorite things in life: planning, organization, creativity and working with others, but also because it doesn't feel like a job. I feel incredibly lucky to work with such wonderful people, and I thrive on the challenge of figuring out how to help turn their visions into a reality..... whether this involves getting permission from the City of Vail to plant a tree as part of a wedding ceremony, hammering out the logistics of a "rain plan" at an outdoor event for 400 guests, or figuring out where to find a white horse and Dhol Player for a traditional Hindu Baraat procession. The best part of my job is catching a glimpse of clients with smiles on their faces from across the room, overhearing guests gushing about what an amazing event they are attending, and receiving a heartfelt "thank you" and "we couldn't have done it without you" after it's all over. This makes all of the hard work worth it, and motivates and inspires me to continue doing what I love!Brooke HillOwner & Principal Event DesignerThe Celebration Studio

how we think At The Celebration Studio, we take pride in our reputation as an event planning and design firm that consistently delivers imaginative, unique and memorable events. We're not afraid to challenge traditional assumptions when designing an event - as the saying goes, "the power is in the unexpected". At the same time, we value the longstanding traditions that are an integral part of most celebrations. We make it our mission to marry the old with the new, the modern with the traditional, and the casual with the elegant. This allows us to create events that are high-impact, while at the same time remaining very personal. We'll start by getting to know you - and your vision - for the event. This knowledge will be our guiding inspiration throughout the process, and we make it a high priority to ensure that every aspect of your event is infused with your personality and creative vision.Once the planning process is underway, we'll do everything we can to make it enjoyable for you. We know how stressful planning an event can be. The Celebration Studio will minimize this stress by moving planning responsibilities off of your plate, and onto ours. We'll keep you up-to-date on all of the progress we're making, so that you don't have to wonder whether something has been done. And when the time comes, we'll oversee your event, so that you can take a step back and just enjoy it. Whether hosting an intimate affair at your home, celebrating a bar/bat mitzvah, organizing a fundraising gala for several hundred guests, or planning the wedding of your dreams, you can rest assured that your event will be fabulous when working with The Celebration Studio.

The Blissful Basics

Get started with the key elements of the planning process. We'll help you establish a budget, provide you with venue/vendor recommendations, and create a custom design & décor plan based on your overall vision.

You'll be the one responsible for managing vendor contracts and communication throughout the planning process, but we always remain available to answer questions or give advice.

One month prior to your event, we'll step back in and work with you to create a "day of" timeline, as well as hammer out logistics and a floor plan for the big day. We'll confirm arrival times and responsibilities with all of your vendors, so that you don't have to stress in the days leading up to your event.

Finally, The Celebration Studio will coordinate all of the "day of" details so that you can step back, relax and enjoy your hard work!

"We are so thankful for all of your help throughout the months of planning. You never failed to give valuable advice and great suggestions. I always felt that you were able to help me make those tough final decisions, all the while keeping in mind what I wanted and hoped for on my big day. You were so organized and so responsive to e-mails and phone calls.

You were always willing to go the extra mile; I really appreciate all the extra time and effort you spent both on the phone and on-site helping me work out the details. You seemingly always know the answers to my questions, and I can't believe that you were able to find white paper umbrellas for my wedding day with only 1 day notice!!!

Not only did you help me out so much during the planning process, but you helped make the wedding day a fun, relaxing, and stress free day. I knew that I could enjoy the day without having to worry about any of the details. We had a really good time on our wedding day and everything was perfect. You have been such a pleasure to work with, and I am so glad that we've had the opportunity to get to know each other."

"Brooke, how can we ever thank you? You put together the most perfect day and we will be forever indebted. Your grace and calm personality are extremely rare and amazing. Thank you for all of the countless things you took care of - many of which we probably didn't even know about.

You were an absolute pleasure to work with. We both believe without your assistance, we would not have had the wedding we wanted. You knew exactly when to give your insight, and when to allow us to make our own decisions. As a planner it must be challenging to not make comments, but you did a great job of keeping our priorities at the top of the list.

In almost 9 months of working with you to plan our special day, you were extremely well organized, easy to work with, and easy to talk to. On the day of, you made everything happen. We were able to enjoy our special day while you worked tirelessly behind the scenes to turn our ideas into reality. You knew our vision and really did an absolutely amazing job.

We can't imagine this process without a wedding planner and you did above and beyond what we could have ever expected. So many thanks!"

"We first met Brooke about a year before our wedding and by the time we got to our special day, she was part of our family. From the first time I spoke to Brooke over the phone I could tell that she understood exactly what I wanted and the vision that I had for my wedding. I should start out by saying that planning a traditional Indian wedding is no small feat. We had 5 days of events, 300 guests and an endless number of traditions and rituals. On top of that, mine was the first wedding in our family and none of us had any idea what we were doing. As soon as we met Brooke, we knew we would be in good hands. She took care of everything for us. Her organization is impeccable and she kept us on track each step of the way so that at no point did we feel rushed or stressed. Her attention to detail was just as impressive and she made us plan for things we never would have thought of on our own. But throughout it all, she never once forced her opinions or ideas on us - she only guided us with her expertise. When the wedding finally arrived, everyone commented on how calm we all were. The only reason was because we knew Brooke and her staff at The Celebration Studio were working tirelessly behind the scenes to make everything perfect. My family and I were able to spend uninterrupted time with all of our friends and truly enjoy the moment. ALL of our guests commented on how ours was the most beautiful, organized, timely and well-thought out wedding they had ever attended. All of the little details that go into making a wedding perfect, Brooke had already thought about weeks and months ahead of time. Everyone always says that their wedding day is the most wonderful, memorable day of their life and because of The Celebration Studio, that was definitely true for me and my husband! We can’t thank Brooke enough for everything that she did!Brooke, there is absolutely no way we could have done any of this without you. We are so lucky to have found you!!!"- Poonam & Maneesh, The Westin Westminster

"Brooke was absolutely amazing to work with. I am definitely lacking in the area of wedding know-how and didn't always know what I wanted, let alone what decisions needed to be made! Brooke was right there with me every step of the way, always willing to lend a hand when I had no idea what to do! She made it easy for me to make the decisions I needed to, without just making them for me.

And when it came to the big day, she was a nervous bride's dream! I have never done this before and had no idea what to do, but Brooke was really on top of all the details, and all my nervousness melted away. She was so calm and I have no idea how, but everything went off without a hitch. Everyone was where they needed to be, and it was beautiful!

My mom is eternally grateful for having the opportunity to relax and enjoy the day. With Brooke there she didn't have to worry about a thing. I still get comments from guests and family members about how wonderful Brooke was. She really made the day happen, and without her, I doubt I would have been able to have such a fun time! Thanks so much Brooke!"

"Hi Brooke, I just wanted to send you a quick email now that the wedding is behind us. It truly was the perfect day.... I have to say it was the best day of my life so far. I was so calm, which is crazy for me, but it allowed me to enjoy the day and remember everything.

I just wanted to say thanks. Your help and the wonderful vendors just made the day perfect and stress free.

I can’t say how impressed we are with you and the organization, direction and recommendations you have shown us. I would recommend any of the vendors from my wedding for any of your future brides. You provided a great list for Scott & I to choose from.

Thanks for everything. It would not have been the greatest wedding without your help and recommendations. I feel like I can't thank you enough! I am definitely a reference if you need one."
