First Look Events is a design-inspired team of wedding planners in the Colorado special event industry. Founder Brynn Swanson has spent 15 years in events, pairing extensive catering experience with 14 years of wedding planning. Her work has been published nationally on Style Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks, Rocky Mountain Bride, Couture Colorado, and Pretty My Party, and has graced the covers of Rocky Mountain Bride, Confetti Magazine, and The Knot Colorado. A Colorado native and University of Colorado graduate, Brynn plans events not around a color palette but by finding inspiration in the ordinary and creating the extraordinary — and her favorite part is meeting each couple and discovering what makes their love story unique. As a boutique firm, First Look takes on a limited number of events each year, keeping the client experience at the heart of everything they do.

From couples & clients
“Brynn has the most perfect personality combination of calm, yet fiery; positive, yet realistic; professional, yet so warm and genuine. She took our original vision and elevated it in ways we never could have dreamed of, coordinating with all of our friends, families, and vendors to deliver a seamless, expertly executed, jaw-dropping wedding day. Brynn sprinkles magic on every single thing she touches — a true orchestrator. Everyone will talk about how epic your wedding was for years to come. She is THAT good.”
“I interviewed seven wedding planners and Brynn had everything I was looking for — exceptional organizational skills, creative thinking, a commitment to the bride and groom, and relationships with top-notch vendors. We could not have been more pleased with our daughter's wedding. Brynn is personable, easy to work with, attentive, cool, calm, and unflappable. When my other daughter gets engaged, Brynn will be my first call!”
“Brynn and her whole team were really incredible in making our wedding come to life. Planning a destination wedding in under eight months was no easy feat, and Brynn was such an asset — she broke down every step to make it less overwhelming and recommended the most incredible vendors, matched to my personality. Her relationships with pros in Colorado are completely invaluable.”
“From the first interview, we knew Brynn and First Look Events were the one. She is approachable, warm, and kind, but also handles business in a very effective and efficient manner. It got to the point where I trusted her vision so much that I felt comfortable deferring decisions to her. On the day, what she created was beyond what even I thought possible. First Look will always be my go-to for any event I plan in Colorado.”
“I wish I could give Brynn 10 stars because she deserves it! We interviewed at least five wedding planners and knew immediately that Brynn had the energy and drive we were looking for. From that moment forward, we had zero wedding-related stress. Brynn designed the wedding of our dreams — the best day of our lives. Everyone should choose Brynn if they want a beautiful wedding and a stress-free process!”
