Question

Where is the ceremony being held?

Answer

We’ll be celebrating at La Joya Dulce Ranch in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Just 15 minutes from downtown, the ranch will serve as the setting for both our ceremony and reception.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Each guest will have a designated shuttle pickup time from either the mountain base area or downtown, depending on where you’re staying. Please plan to be at your pickup spot a few minutes early so we can keep things running smoothly. We’re excited for everyone to arrive together and kick off the celebration. We’ll share specific pickup times and details as the wedding weekend gets closer.

Answer

The ceremony will be followed by an outdoor cocktail hour. The evening will continue indoors with dinner and dancing. A more detailed timeline will be shared as the weekend approaches.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire. We suggest suits or jackets for gentlemen and cocktail dresses or dressy separates for ladies. Most importantly, please dress in a way that feels comfortable to you. This is a mountain location, so appropriate footwear is strongly encouraged as there may be uneven ground.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes. Shuttle transportation from both the mountain resort base area and downtown Steamboat has been arranged. Return shuttles will begin around 9:00 p.m. and will continue running throughout the evening until the celebration winds down, so you’re free to head back whenever you’re ready.
