Meet Elsa | Founder & Owner of The Woodlands

I love to be part of life’s amazing milestones and watch as people weave their moments and memories from The Woodlands into the fabric of their lives. Being a part of writing personal history and helping people navigate not only the mechanics of an event but the emotions that flow along with it, is part of my calling. 20 years of Wedding Coordination and Planning experience allows me to create space with thoughtful intention and to be your guide to help you navigate the planning process and float through the day of with ease.

I grew up here in Bozeman and couldn’t bring myself to leave except for the occasional travel adventure. I adore great food, a glass of bubbly, big sunglasses, and hammocks. I love soaking in local hot springs, river floats under the summer sun, and a great powder day on the hill.

I also love that you took the time to get to know me a bit. You will do just fine with this planning stuff. Together, we got this! Enough about me…let me introduce you to our Wedding Team Extraordinaire!

The Woodlands Story

We grew up in this small town. . .before it was the swanky way it is today. In 2000, I married an incredible man that manifests dreams into reality and together we built The Woodlands in 2004. He keeps me laughing harder and loving deeper as the years go on. He is my best friend and my forever. Ask me if you want to hear the story of how the hairs stood up on my arms when I first walked onto this property or the crazy story of how we built The Woodlands when we were 26!

Every board on this building has been lovingly touched by us. A vast amount of hard work and thoughtful intentions have flowed into every corner of this place. We have shaped it to be rich in organic beauty, intimate and private, and filled with ways to have ease and joy. Because it was built as a venue without being a historic barn prior, it flows more smoothly into the event you want to have. On this land, we have hosted over a 1,000 incredible events, I have raised my babies into two dynamic and creative young ladies and planted trees that stand witness to all of it. It took an incredible community of friends and family that helped us turn this property into the container for joy that it is today,
