FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP for all event by July 23rd. This ensures we have enough time to plan transportation, food, drinks, and a seat for everyone!
Question
How do I get to the wedding venue?
Answer
We are providing shuttles that everyone will take to the wedding. Please meet at Vail Transit Center (Eastbound, Vail, CO 81657) by 2:30pm. There will be shuttles leaving the wedding at 8pm to the Vail Transit Center and 10pm to the Vail Transit Center and After Party. Plan on walking to your hotel after the after party. The distances are listed in our travel section.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code is semi-formal. We recommend cocktail dresses, midi or maxi dresses, jumpsuits, dressy separates, or suits. Since we are in the mountains, lightweight layers are also a good idea for the evening. We strongly advise against stilettos! The venue has a dirt path and a wooden deck with small gaps, so we recommend block heels, wedges, or dressy flats for comfort and safety.
Question
How does the elevation affect me?
Answer
Piney River Ranch sits at high altitude, which can cause altitude sickness (headaches, dizziness, nausea) if you’re not used to it. To help adjust: • Stay hydrated (drink plenty of water before and during your trip). • Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. • Consider taking it easy for the first day if you’re traveling from sea level.
Question
Will there be cell service?
Answer
No, there is no cell service or Wi-Fi at the venue. Please plan accordingly.
Question
What should I do if I have dietary restrictions?
Answer
Please let us know in advance when you RSVP, and we’ll ensure there are options for you!
Question
What’s the weather like?
Answer
In early September, temperatures at Piney River Ranch are usually in the 60s-70s°F during the day but can drop to the 30s-40s°F at night. Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so we recommend bringing a jacket, shawl, or wrap for the evening. There is also a small chance of afternoon rain showers, so keep that in mind when planning your outfit.
Question
Are kids and plus ones welcome?
Answer
We’re so excited to celebrate with our closest family and friends! Due to limited space, we can only accommodate those specifically listed on your invitation. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
