Colorado is blossoming in early May, and Sarah and David ended up with the most sweet spring day for their Red Rocks Trading Post wedding ceremony. Known for its dramatic sandstone formations and sweeping views of the Front Range, Red Rocks is one of Colorado’s most iconic venues. The Trading Post, a historic stone building nestled among the cliffs, provided the perfect blend of rustic charm and natural beauty for this spring wedding.

The ceremony took place outdoors on the Trading Post lawn. Guests had a breathtaking view of the red sandstone cliffs and surrounding foothills as they were serenaded by our accompanying flute and cello music. Sarah and David combined their American and Chinese backgrounds with blended cultural elements, and a ceremony that was tailored to honor both of their perspectives.

Sarah and David curated a list of prelude music that spoke to their personalities and tastes. We performed everything from Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve and Lana Del Rey’s Young and Beautiful to classics like Can’t Help Falling in Love and Over the Rainbow. The selections flowed seamlessly between romantic pop ballads, movie themes, and timeless standards—creating an atmosphere that was personalized to their elegant and modern vibe.

When the ceremony began, the wedding party entered to the joyful and familiar strains of Canon in D by Pachelbel. Family members and the groom followed with All You Need to Know by Slander, a request that highlighted the couple’s love for electronic music.

The bridesmaids, ringbearer, junior bridesmaid, and flower girl processed to Innerbloom by Rufus Du Sol, a soaring and emotional track that translated beautifully to flute and cello. Finally, Sarah made her entrance with her father to the most gentle part of If I Lose Myself (Alesso Remix), for an emotional entrance.

During the unity ceremony, we played Blackbird by The Beatles, a sweet selection that perfectly represented the couple’s new blended family.

As a reprise, the recessional began with the most lively part of If I Lose Myself, tying the entire ceremony together and bringing the mood into joyful celebration. This was immediately followed by Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, to continue the lively feel of the day, as guests headed towards the shuttles, getting them in the mood for a fun wedding reception.
