5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
We want to get the party started early! Thursday evening we would like all of our guests to gather and cheers to the fun weekend ahead and get to know at least one person you haven't met before. There will be drinks and appetizers. Feel free to plan dinner reservations in town after, the summers are busy and restaurants fill up! Attire: Casual - PS it gets quite cool in the evenings! Layer!
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Friday's dinner will be held at a restaurant at the base of Mount Crested Butte. If the weather is good we can hang out on the patio and watch the sun set over the peak. We will be having a relaxed BBQ with some live music. Attire: Nothing too fancy. Bride will probably wear a sundress. Jeans are totally appropriate too!
4:30 pm - 5:00 pm
The wedding is on top of a mountain! The ceremony will begin at 4:30pm. There will be shuttle buses to take you from the main entrance of The Lodge at Mountaineer Square to a chair lift, which will then take you up the mountain to the ceremony/reception. Shuttle buses will begin loading at 3:30 pm. More detailed information to come prior to wedding date. For those not feeling adventurous, the shuttle can also take you all the way up to the venue, but we suggest the scenic route! Attire: Outdoor wedding chic. Rough terrain, we suggest a modest wedge for the ladies. The bride will be wearing booties. Guys: black tie suits and jeans are discouraged - look for something in between. PS remember it's cooler at the TOP of a mountain!
5:00 pm - 11:00 pm
The cocktail hour will kick off immediately following the ceremony at the Umbrella Bar. The reception will follow in the Ten Peaks tent. (This is all in the same location as the wedding so you're just a few steps away from all the fun!) Attire: what you wore to the wedding unless you're planning an outfit change, in which case...OK! Remember it's cool at night so ladies, bring a wrap! There will also be heaters in the tent just in case.
11:00 pm
Due to noise ordinance, the wedding must end at 11pm, however, that does not mean the party stops. Talk of the Town has a great juke box to keep on dancing and also enjoy some late night pizza. Attire: please wear clothes
10:00 am
Australian style brunch will be hosted by the Hawcroft family. More details to come! Attire: Whatever you can muster after a long night of dancing!
