Planning a Multi-Event Wedding Weekend: From Rehearsal Dinners to Farewell Brunches

May 9

Weddings no longer need to be a single-day event. More and more couples are embracing the idea of multi-day wedding weekends, turning their celebration into an immersive experience for their guests. This trend is especially popular in destination locations like Western Colorado and Moab, where guests travel in and want to make the most of their trip. At Kosi Events, we specialize in orchestrating wedding weekends that flow seamlessly from one event to the next.

Why Plan a Wedding Weekend?

The advantage of a wedding weekend is simple: time. Instead of squeezing all your greetings, conversations, and memories into one busy day, you have multiple opportunities to connect with the people who matter most. Guests get to explore a beautiful destination, couples get more quality time with loved ones, and everyone feels less rushed. Spreading events across the weekend also allows the wedding day itself to feel more relaxed and intentional.

Palisade, Colorado Weekend Itinerary

Imagine starting your celebration with a Friday night welcome party at a Palisade vineyard like Restoration Vineyards, TWP Winery, or Carboy Winery. Guests sip local wines while catching up under string lights and listening to live music. On Saturday, everyone heads to one of the amazing Palisade wedding venues, followed by a reception under the stars. The weekend concludes on Sunday with a casual farewell brunch at Fidel’s, and maybe a stroll through the Palisade Farmer’s Market.

Moab Wedding Weekend Ideas

Moab lends itself to adventure-filled weekends. Couples often host a sunset welcome cocktail hour with panoramic red rock views at a venue like Broken Oar, the Moab Food Truck Park, or even on BLM land. On the wedding day, the ceremony may be framed by sandstone arches, followed by a desert-inspired reception at The Red Earth Venue, Red Cliffs Lodge, or Hoodoo Hotel. The next morning, guests gather for a relaxed brunch overlooking the desert, perhaps after a sunrise hike or jeep tour. These activities help transform your wedding into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for everyone attending.

How Planners Make It Seamless

While multi-day celebrations sound dreamy, they also require careful coordination. That’s where we come in.
