Ceremony

6:15 pm - 6:30 pm

Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa and Casino
2300 Paseo Verde Parkway, Henderson, NV 89052

Cocktail Attire (Black, Please!) We kindly ask all guests to wear black so our photos look absolutely amazing. Think cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and dark jackets with slacks—sleek, chic, and perfect for the celebration.

After 17 years of love, laughter, a little chaos, and all the crazy times in between, we’re beyond excited to finally celebrate this day. We’re kicking things off with a sunset ceremony, followed by a two‑hour cocktail party. We won’t be serving dinner, so please grab a bite beforehand and come ready to toast the night away. When you arrive at Green Valley Ranch, please head straight to the main registration lobby/valet area — that’s our guest meeting spot. Our event hostess, Tayla, will be there to walk the group to the ceremony site around 6:05ish. It’s a super quick 1–2 minute walk. If you get turned around or need help finding the group, you can reach Tayla directly at (702) 682‑1505. And because we love you… There’s a bar in close proximity to the meeting area for anyone who’d like to grab a pre‑celebratory drink before heading out. It’s going to be a little warmer than most of us would prefer, but the ceremony is in the shade, and we’ve heard there’s a lovely breeze.

Cocktail Reception

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Come as you are from the Ceremony!

Time to celebrate! Join us for a two-hour Cocktail party at Wax Rabbit in the Durango Casino and Resort, where the vibes are high and the glasses are full. Now that we’ve said “I Do,” it’s time to celebrate! Head over to the Durango Hotel & Casino and begin your search for the hidden speakeasy Wax Rabbit. The celebration kicks off at 7:30 PM, so take your time, explore, and have a little fun finding the entrance. The hunt is part of the experience! See you inside for cocktails, music, lite-bites, and the next chapter of the night.

No-Host Pool Party Bel-Aire Backyard

11:30 am - 5:00 pm

Casual Pool Party attire

Pool Party Time! Keep the celebration going with a no-host laid‑back pool day at the Bel‑Aire Backyard. We’ll be hanging out in our cabana, soaking up the sun, cooling off in the water, and enjoying a relaxed day-after vibe with everyone. Bring your suits, your shades, and your best “still recovering from last night” energy — it’s the perfect way to unwind and wrap up the weekend together.

Hotel Recommendations

The Wedding Website of Cathleen Barrientos and Tad Brown
Many of you will be traveling in for the celebration, so we’ve rounded up a couple great places to stay right near all the weekend fun. Here are a few spots to relax, refresh, and gear up for more good times. And of course, you can always stay on the Strip or on Freemont Street Downtown if you’re feeling that classic Vegas vibe. Just keep in mind that those areas are at least a 45‑minute drive from where all the celebrating is happening, so give yourself a little extra time if you decide to stay farther out.
