The ceremony and brunch will be outside with no shelters. as the day gets closer, keep an eye on the forecast, as it is not uncommon for afternoon rain in Colorado summers. This is a rain or shine event.
We want everyone to be comfortable, and realize that not everyone loves the outdoors. we ask that everyone dress comfortably, but please no jeans/polos or t-shirts. give us your BEST take on James bond stranded in the woods, or bigfoot going to a black tie wedding. The pathways to the amphitheater 🎊🎉ARE PAVED!🎉 but if you stray away from the path, that will be real, Colorado mountain terrain. Please feel free to wear, or bring a pair of comfortable shoes if you wish to explore the area (and you will want to explore!)
This is a very limited space venue, so plus ones will be indicated on the invitation and in the RSVP section of the website.
no! BUT DOGS ARE! in all seriousness with the limited capacity, shuttle ride, altitude and rough terrain we ask that children be left at home
UNPLUGGED CEREMONY TL;DR: NOPE Our ceremony will be UNPLUGGED we ask that all phones/electronic devices can be placed on silent and out of sight. This allows everyone to be present AND for our dope photographer (who we paid to come from Ohio to Colorado) to capture the GORGEOUS maroon bells without technology ruining it (ICK!) there will be an 'I Do Moment' will be presented before we walk down the aisle for everyone to capture photos/videos

Why yes, we do! The Maroon Bells Scenic Area is surrounding Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. This wilderness is one of the five original Colorado wilderness areas designated by the 1964 Wilderness Act. Its scenic value exudes from its aspen groves, meadows of wildflowers, and dark forests of spruce and fir that rise up from the valleys to alpine landscapes. Here, bighorn sheep, pika, and ptarmigan find habitat above timberline. Towering over glacial valleys at over 14,000 feet in elevation, the Maroon Bells are the most recognizable peaks in the Elk Mountains. The Maroon Bells are unique in the Rockies in that they are made up of metamorphic sedimentary mudstone that gives the peaks their maroon color and unstable nature for climbing.
