FAQs

Question

Are there cellphones allowed during the ceremony?

Answer

NO. Please be respectful of the ceremony and not use your cell phones. The bride and groom have spent a tremendous amount of money on this wedding and there will be plenty of photos and video to be available for all to watch! We just ask that you be in the moment and share this special day with us without any distractions.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No please wear what makes you comfortable. However, the majority of wedding guests and the wedding party will be in cocktail attire. Also, keep in mind that there will be professional photography and videography throughout the majority of the event. The ceremony is outdoors (~15-20min duration) in Colorado in January which means it will be COLD. Please keep that in mind and dress accordingly for the ceremony. The rest of the wedding festivities will be indoors and you will be able to show off your outfit then!
