FAQs

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

There will be parking available at the event for those who wish to drive, and you are free to leave your car overnight but it must be picked up by 10am. There will be a shuttle going to and from The Eddy Hotel and the La Quinta to provide transportation to and from the event. Pickup time is 2:30pm at the Eddy, and 2:50 at the La Quinta. The shuttle will depart at the end of the event right after 10pm and will drop off at both hotels. If you are not staying at either hotel, feel free to still drive to the hotels and take the shuttles. **Please note that to venture into the mountains, you are legally required to have an all wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will all be hosted at Woodlands. We ask that you please arrive 30 minutes early, at 3:30pm to ensure we can start on time, at 4pm. The ceremony site is steps outside of the reception venue. Cocktail hour and the reception will be hosted inside.

Question

Will the altitude affect me?

Answer

Please be aware that the altitude affects everyone differently. Denver sits at an elevation of 5,280 feet and our venue sits at elevation of 7,500 feet. If you're joining us at Winter Park on Thursday, Winter Park sits at an elevation of 9,100 feet. We recommend you carry water everywhere you go & drink it even when you don't feel thirsty :) The elevation may make you feel winded quicker than normal. If this is the case, we recommend you purchase Boost Oxygen, available in majority of CO stores are resort shops.
