Hello! My name is Evelyn Wood, owner and lead planner of Ouray Mountain Events, and I am so incredibly glad you’re here! 

About Me!

​

After graduating summa cum laude from Oregon State University with a degree in business design and innovation management, I spent three years crafting memorable events in both the corporate world and thrilling special occasion settings. But through every event I planned, my heart was always back home in the San Juan Mountains. I’ve always dreamed of opening an event coordination and design company in my hometown of Ouray, and I finally did it!

What Makes Us Different?

​

In a world of "cookie-cutter" event packages, we choose to do things differently. Here is why our clients choose to trust us with their biggest moments:

​

• A True Colorado Native: I didn't just move here for the views; I grew up in these mountains. While other planners might know the popular spots, I know the hidden gems, the secret overlooks, and the local vendors who have been my neighbors for years.

• Family-Run, Heart-Centered: We are a family-owned business. When you work with us, you aren't just a contract on a clipboard; you’re treated like part of the family. We bring a level of personal care and dedication that only a local, family-run team can provide.

• The "Guest Experience" Philosophy: Our goal is simple: we want you to be a guest at your own event. We take care of the "little details" so you can actually taste the cake, hear the speeches, and soak in the mountain air without a single worry.

• Strategic Design: My background in Innovation Management means I don't just pick pretty flowers. I design the flow, the logistics, and the "vibe" of your event with professional precision.
