Ceremony & Reception

2:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Harmels on the Taylor - Cabin 100
6748 County Road 742, Almont, CO 81210

Upscale Casual or just plain Upscale, do you! Think hard about your shoes because the event will be outside and on grass. Also think about bringing a jacket, Colorado might be cold or warm in October when the suns out, but more likely cold when it's gone.

The ceremony will begin at 3pm sharp. Make sure to collect your champagne for the toast at the ceremony, then onto a cocktail hour with yard games and light snacks, followed by a reception for some boogie oogie! Last dance will be at 9:50 and we'll move the party elsewhere.

After Party

10:00 pm

Harmels on the Taylor - Cabin 100
6748 County Road 742, Almont, CO 81210

Keep your wedding attire or get comfy.

We will be trying to get an after party together at our place, Cabin 100, because there is a noise restriction to end at 10pm. TBD on if we can be at the fire pit or need to go back to our place. You'll be updated at the wedding!
