Our Story

How it
all
began.

Collin and Celine

Collin and Celine met on the natural gas trading floor at ExxonMobil, where Celine was interning and Collin had already been working for a few years.

They waited until Celine’s internship was coming to an end before going on their first date: drinks at Padre’s followed by dinner at Coltivare in the Heights. A few more dates followed, and they made it offical over dinner at BCN. Fittingly, their first international trip together was to Barcelona.

Over the next few years, they built a life around favorite local spots like El Tiempo, Clark’s Oyster Bar, and Southern Yankee Crafthouse, along with plenty of trips to Southern California, New York City, and Miami.

Two and a half years later, Collin brought Celine to Aspen and proposed. What started as a quiet moment for the two of them turned into a celebration with family and friends waiting nearby. They spent the rest of the weekend enjoying good food, good company, and the mountains.

Now, March 6th is right around the corner, and they can't wait to celebrate with everyone who has been part of the journey.

The Ceremony

Annunciation Greek
Orthodox Cathedral

Phil and Renata DeMoes raised their twin daughters, Celine and Danielle, in the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. The girls grew up deeply connected to the parish community, and Celine has since introduced Collin to one of her family's favorite annual traditions — the Greek Festival, held each October to celebrate Greek culture, food, and Orthodox life.

The DeMoes' are overjoyed to welcome you to their church and to share this magnificent cathedral and ceremony with the family and friends they love most.

The Reception

La Colombe D'or
Mansion House

The Mansion holds deep significance for both families. Phil and Renata DeMoes, parents of the bride, had one of their very first lunch dates at the Mansion House restaurant with Phil's parents visiting from Alabama. It was a place of meaning for what is now a 25-year marriage — and now, in a beautiful full-circle moment, it becomes the setting for the next chapter of the DeMoes' story.

For the groom, the connection is equally personal. Collin has called the hotel Residences at La Colombe D'or home for the past three years — beginning shortly after he and Celine started dating in August of 2023. Their courtship was woven into the fabric of this neighborhood: evening walks along Montrose, oyster-filled dinners at Clark's or Southern Yankee Crafthouse just around the corner, and pre-dinner cocktails at Bar No. 3, the timeless bar tucked inside the Mansion House itself.

Collin and Celine feel deeply humbled and privileged to share their special day with you at such a uniquely meaningful place.

Valet parking will be provided at La Colombe D'or for the reception — simply pull up to the front entrance on Montrose Boulevard. The cocktail hour and reception are just a short walk (187 feet) from the Cathedral doors meaning you can park at either location and leave it there for the duration of the ceremony and reception.

The cocktail hour will be outdoors in the Sculpture Garden and reception will take place indoors at The Mansion House at La Colombe D'or. Guests will then reconvene back outdoors in the Sculpture Garden for dancing and drinks.

We are not providing a formal shuttle service, but we encourage guests to use a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft to or from the event. If you do choose to drive, parking is available both in a lot and street parking across from Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church and valet is provided at the La Colombe D'or Hotel with the entrance on Montrose Boulevard.

We love your little ones — however, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this advance notice allows you to make arrangements, and we look forward to celebrating with you.
