Question

What are you doing to take precautions during the COVID pandemic?

Answer

Currently, we are not expecting and changes, delays, cancellations, or postponements as a result of the pandemic. We will still be moving forward with the event as planned but understand we need to take steps to try to protect the health of our guests, especially those who might be more susceptible to the virus. As a result, we are asking guests to wear masks during the ceremony, at the bar, and when moving through public spaces or groups. You will not need to wear one while eating or drinking. We are also spacing out the ceremony chairs and the reception tables, seating people with others that they would normally be around, and limiting the number of people at those tables or rows. We are also asking that guests just keep in mind boundaries that other guests might have while trying to protect themselves and be respectful of those boundaries. We are hoping to have everyone there despite what is currently happening and would like ensure everyone is able to have fun while being safe.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

YOU MUST RSVP no later than September 10th, 2020. We need time to get final guest counts for our venue and reception. If this is not possible for you, please contact Carissa or Bryan to notify them when you'll be able to RSVP by. IF YOU DO NOT RSVP BY 9/10/2020 OR LET US KNOW OF A TIME WHEN YOU CAN RSVP BY THEN YOU WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL COUNT AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND. (extenuating circumstances excluded) Please include any children you plan on bringing with you in your RSVP and note their ages. OUT OF TOWNERS: Give us your accommodation information such as Hotel address and room number(s). We would like to welcome you to Colorado with a little something extra for making the trip out here to celebrate with us.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire is recommended, however, we want you to be comfortable and to have fun so let loose.

Question

May I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation has your name and "Guest" on it, please feel free to bring a plus one. Please include your plus one's information and so we know how to address them at the event.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

YES! We are all about family! Please bring your little munchkins with you but let us know how many you plan to bring on your RSVP and their food preferences. Be aware that they are your responsibility, we want to make sure everyone has a good time and that no one feels obligated to watch your children because you're busy flirting with a bartender!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Ceremony starts at 5:00PM MST. Please be prepared to arrive between 4:30PM and 4:45PM so that we may start on time and get everybody out to dinner and to dance as soon as possible.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be held at the same location?

Answer

Yes! In fact the ceremony is right across the hall from the reception.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

The Pinery at the Hill has a very large parking lot in front that is easily accessible to all guests. Please make use of it and do not park out on the street in front of the residential houses.

Question

What are we having for dinner?

Answer

Dinner will be served buffet style. Non-alcoholic beverages are free of charge for the evening. You do not need to indicate your menu preference on your RSVP as you will have access to all options. We instead ask that you indicate if you are bringing children, how many, and their ages as this will affect their dining options. The Menu: Mixed Green Salad Rosemary and Mushroom Herbed Chicken Brandied Cherry Beef Medallions Garlic Whipped Potatoes Roasted Vegetable Medley

Question

Will there be food suitable for my child?

Answer

Yes! The great news is our venue understands the importance of families attending weddings with children. All children under the age of 12 will have options available to them including chicken fingers, french fries, fresh fruit, and other goodies. Please be aware that dinner will not be served until close to 7PM! Make sure to give your little ones a snack before the ceremony if necessary to tide them over until dinner.

Question

I have a food allergy. May I make a special request?

Answer

Please do! We will try our best to accommodate all food preferences, but please know our selections are limited with the number of people that will be attending.

Question

What's the situation with the alcohol?

Answer

We will have an open bar from 5:30PM - 8:30PM. Please enjoy adult beverages during our Cocktail hour and with dinner. After 8:30PM, please be prepared to pay for your own drinks.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are registered here on Zola for a Honeymoon cash fund. We are blessed to have everything we could possibly need at the moment and your presence at our wedding is gift enough. If you feel particularly generous, we would appreciate your help to create lasting lifelong memories with each other as we start our new life together. You may donate any amount you wish or simply wait until the day of the wedding and give any donation you wish in person.

Question

What is the deal with the "Have I ever told you...?" message on your wedding website home page?

Answer

From the very get go we have used a particular exchange between us. It is a call and response phrase that we use almost on a daily basis that means more to us that the typical "I love you." And it goes a little something like this. A: "Have I ever told you how much I love you?" B: "Have I ever told you how much you mean to me?" A: "Everyday, baby." B: "Good, never forget it."

Question

Am I able to take my party favors onto a plane?

Answer

We won't spoil the surprise by telling you what the party favors are but we know there will be questions on how to get them home for our out of town guests. We are happy to announce that they are TSA approved for travel onto airplanes. We HIGHLY recommend that you pack them with your carry on belongings though as they are fragile and will not make it through a ride in the luggage compartment where bags are being thrown around and mishandled.
