We strive to tell it like it is and be your event guide with an honest take - the kind of conversation you'd have with a close friend over a glass of wine.
Whether you know exactly what you want or are not sure where to start - we can help!
The Party Pretzel team isn't your average event company.
You won't find radio ear pieces or fancy wedding planner lingo around here! (But we will bring a clipboard!) Party Pretzel staff are extremely detailed oriented and love a minute-by-minute timeline, but also understand that the day needs to flow and feel effortless - sometimes the timeline has to go! Our number one priority is to make sure our clients have the best day ever and that the day stays about YOU.
The Party Pretzel is an equal rights vendor. All love is welcome here! 🏳️🌈
Brett Gnadt
Chief Party Officer & Lead Event Planner
Brett’s love for a good ol’ theme party is where the Party Pretzel all began. With a laid-back attitude that knows how to get sh*t done, you better believe that no matter the celebration, it will be a great time (and stress-free!).
Brett began managing communications and operations in the Endurance Sports industry in 2013 and quickly grew a passion for events. After 6 years, Brett moved into the non-profit world as the Director of Communications for the Dear Jack Foundation, while growing her “side hustle,” the Party Pretzel.
Continuing her focus on a love for community and always celebrating the little and big things in life, Brett launched Party Pretzel from a side-hustle to a full-time gig in 2023 and is so excited to have a renewed and energized focus on weddings and events.
A mac-n-cheese lover and self proclaimed chicken nugget connoisseur, this Colorado gal loves going on adventures with her toddler, and watching reality TV while answering emails.
Kaitlyn McGee
Associate Event Coordinator
Kaitlyn has been planning events since she can remember and she owes it all to the queen of parties, her grandma. From large-scale galas to family parties, Kaitlyn was right by her grandma's side, with clipboard in hand, making sure everything was just perfect. As a Sagittarius (with a hint of ADHD), Kaitlyn excels in high pressure situations and thrives in the behind-the-scenes chaos of wedding coordination. She lives for the thrill! And the best part? She will make sure you never know of any craziness because your only job is to celebrate and enjoy your day.
Kaitlyn started her career as non-profit event planner at Hunger Free Colorado before moving to Austin to follow her dream to work for a major musical festival. After a run at SXSW (and a post-covid move back to Denver), Kaitlyn is back in her hometown to pursue marketing and wedding design/planning!
With quite the sweet tooth for cinnamon rolls (if you ask nicely, she might even share her list of the best places to find them in Colorado!), Kaitlyn also enjoys spending time with friends, family and her puppy Frankie. As a lover of color-coded spreadsheets, client-centered planning and LOVE, Kaitlyn is so excited to be a part of the Party Pretzel team and can’t wait to make sure your wedding is the BEST day ever!
