Meet Jill 

Owner . Planner . YES Woman!

​

Jill loves weddings! She started in the wedding industry in 2009 creating custom paper out of wedding flowers to preserve their beauty. This led to the realization that she had a real passion for the details and design of a perfect wedding day here in the Vail Valley. Jill loves where she lives and understands the how special it is to plan and execute a wedding in these beautiful mountains. Jill thrives in the high energy environment of weddings and events, and that shows in the outcome of her planning. As a nearly 25-year full-time resident of the Vail area, she has the knowledge and relationships only a true local can provide. She would be honored and excited to

help you shape the perfect event.

 

Jill Chalfant grew up in Colorado and moved to Vail after

attending CU Boulder. She has enjoyed being a ski instructor, ski school supervisor, fly fishing guide, and Kindergarten teacher, but wedding planning is the job she was meant to do.

Jill loves spending time with her husband Dan and two

daughters in the snow and on the water.

It is truly a gift to be able to work, live and play in our valley.
