About The Wedding Gathering

Our story

How we got our start

A better way to plan a wedding

The Wedding Gathering began in January 2026 as a boutique wedding open house series hosted at venues across Colorado. The goal? To offer an alternative to the big, crowded, overwhelming wedding shows that feel more like trade shows.

Each gathering is hosted by one of Colorado’s amazing venues, along with a curated group of vendors who come together in an environment designed to make wedding planning feel easier, and enjoyable!

Real venues. Real vendors. Real conversations.

Let me introduce myself

Hi, I’m Cody

In late 2025, along with Kristina Rush of Krush Photography, we launched a series of vendor open houses, unsure whether it would take off or fall flat. Nearly a year later, The Wedding Gathering is putting together its 2026–2027 season, with even more events and opportunities to meet vendors. We hope to see you!

For my “day job,” I’m a wedding photographer. You can find my work here.
