OUR FOUNDER

Meet Cara

I was born into a family of artists who shaped my love for color theory, form and movement. With a background in dance and a degree in business, I debuted in the wedding industry as a floral designer and at the request of my clients, quickly expanded into full event design and coordination. I am inspired by the magnificent natural beauty of Montana, heavily influenced by modern fashion and moved by old world charm. I pour endless hours into perfectly executing each couple's vision, and my clients have become some of my closest friends.

When I'm not producing and designing events, you can find me traveling, gardening, hosting friends and exploring the great outdoors with my family.

OUR PRODUCTION MANAGER

Meet Jordan

I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of shared moments, whether gathered around a table, engaging in conversation with strangers, or losing oneself in the energy of a dance floor. With a degree in Art and Art History, creativity and thoughtful detail have always inspired me. When I found my way into weddings, I quickly developed an appreciation for the planning side, turning ideas into seamless, meaningful celebrations your people will remember forever.

Outside the world of timelines, you’ll find me exploring new places and chasing great food, in the calm of nature or the vibrance of cities. Much like a great event, I believe life is all about creating memorable moments.

FROM OUR CLIENTS

  • "Working with Goldfinch was such an easy decision for us. Everyone around me warned me how stressful planning a wedding was, but because Cara and Jordan are consummate professionals, not once was I stressed during the process. The team manages every single detail and makes the entire process feel fun and exciting, never overwhelming. I thought I had shared a whole folder of inspiration, but Cara flawlessly executed my dream from a single photo. The whole weekend my husband and I got to just be present and joyful because the team had managed everything to genuine perfection. Our wedding was the most stunning event we’ve ever been to, and we are just so thankful to Goldfinch for genuinely making our dreams come true."

  • “Working with Goldfinch was a dream come true! You made magic happen! You took the time to understand our vision — across three different events — and transformed it into a reality that was beyond what we could have imagined. Every detail was flawless. Our guests were blown away by the beauty and seamlessness of the weekend, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebration.”

  • "Goldfinch is the dream team! We loved every minute of working with Cara, Jordan and their entire staff. They made the process so much fun for our family. Cara and Jordan always had a great attitude and were easy to work with. They are organized, have a great eye for design and know the ins and outs of planning a wedding, especially in Montana. Our actual wedding weekend was a total dream....Goldfinch truly made every idea in our head come to life.
