Building a company from the ground up — and skyrocketing it to success — requires unshakable confidence and a healthy willingness to take risks. Wendy has both. Melded with her matchless creativity, innovation and enviable cool under pressure, Wendy has what it takes to be a sought-after event producer and the architect behind some of Colorado’s most prestigious weddings. And indeed she is.

Wendy grew up in New York, but fell in love with Telluride as a child when her family began visiting for regular ski trips in the early 80s. She became a permanent Telluride resident in 1994. Wendy has been embedded in the community ever since, always keeping her finger on the ski town’s pulse. After producing the wedding of Lauren Bush and David Lauren in 2011, Wendy’s world-class work established Telluride as a premiere event destination — and Soirée Telluride as an event-production company that draws national and international clients.

When she’s not coordinating scores of vendors or thriving on day-of event execution, Wendy enjoys skiing with her husband, Zach, whom she met in Telluride, and getting as much time as possible with her college-aged daughters Breton & Zoe.
