OUR PURSUIT

To help you express your love story thoughtfully—through celebration elevated to an artform. Here, we celebrate all forms of love. Proudly, intentionally, and with the care each incredible couple deserves.

I’M SO HAPPY YOU FOUND ME—WELCOME

I’m Kira Barczy a destination wedding planner who gets things done and makes it look easyI was raised in Maui by a mom who worked in the fine-art world, which instilled in me a deep-rooted appreciation for service, artistry, and attention to detail. I’m the person who walks into a restaurant and immediately notices if the linens are pressed and what the stemware looks like. After all, when you grow up in a coveted travel destination and spend your childhood in art galleries and hotels, you learn what luxury looks like (and doesn’t look like) pretty quickly.
‍
But just as I see problems, I see solutions. Because I didn’t just grow up appreciating luxe experiences—I was responsible for providing them. I worked in hospitality for high-end hotels, bartended, and waited tables—all before finding my true passion as a destination wedding planner. After planning countless weddings in Maui, I eventually heeded the call of the mountains and founded KIRA Weddings & Events in the Vail Valley in 2017.
‍
With ten years of experience and hundreds of weddings to my name—I know just how to advocate for your needs and wants, particularly as you’re planning a destination wedding from afar. I’m calm, patient, and kind—but I’m never afraid to drop the hammer in the name of getting my couples what they need. My familiarity with the world of upscale weddings runs deep, which—combined with my innate creativity and local, on-the-ground knowledge—allows me to serve you holistically and with every ounce of expertise you deserve.

CAN YOU FEEL IT, TOO?

The magic of the mountains
‍More than anything, I am enamored with the overwhelming beauty of the mountains. After all, these peaks were strong enough to pull me away from Hawaii to the mainland. I love the idyllic charm that Vail and Aspen offer—and I especially enjoy drawing inspiration from nature as I plan experience-rich affairs.
‍
Wildflowers and Palisade peaches in the summer. Golden aspens in the fall. Shimmering blankets of snow in the winter. Does it get any more dreamy than that? (If your answer is ‘no’, we’re going to get long swimmingly.)

MY STYLE
Enneagram Type 1. Super conscientious and driven by ethics (read: I budget out every line item before I present you with a design.)

MY ESCAPE
Find me hiking with my two dogs, Ember and Dakota, and my husband, Stephen—or snowboarding Beaver Creek.

MY SOFT SPOT
Never met a fresh flower or a fine pastry I didn’t like. Animals also get me every time (vegetarian here).
