FAQs

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have room blocks at EVERGREEN LODGE AT VAIL and GRAND HYATT VAIL. You can view the room block details under the travel section of our website. Airbnb is another option if you would prefer not to stay in a hotel, we recommend looking for Airbnbs in Vail Village to have access to Vail's buses and our ceremony shuttles.

Question

How should I get from DIA to Vail?

Answer

Rent a car - This is our recommendation so you can explore the surrounding area at your leisure. Shuttle from DIA - There are many shuttle services from DIA to Vail. We've used these ones many times: https://www.epicmountainexpress.com/ https://www.mountainshuttle.com/ https://www.summitexpress.com/

Question

Is a rental car necessary?

Answer

No, it is not necessary to rent a car if you don't want to. Both hotel blocks are in the Vail Village area, so you will have access to shops, restaurants, activities without needing a car.

Question

How should I get to the wedding venue?

Answer

There will be shuttles to transport all guests between the hotels and the venue. Our preference is for guests to take the shuttles as opposed to driving, as the drive is fairly technical. Come enjoy the evening, and leave the transportation to us.

Question

What is the attire for the ceremony/reception?

Answer

We use the term "black tie optional", very loosely. If you have a tux and want to wear it - great! If you don't, also great! The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside on grass, we recommend against stilettos since they'll get stuck in the ground.

Question

Am I invited to the welcome party?

Answer

Yes! Everyone who is invited to the wedding is invited to the welcome party.

Question

Answer

Question

Driving Directions to Camp Hale?

Answer

While we prefer everyone use the provided shuttles for transportation, we want to include directions for those that may choose to drive. If you put Camp Hale into your GPS, it will take you to the wrong place - instead see directions below, WARNING: SERVICE CAN BE SPOTTY From Vail, Breckenridge, and Keystone: Get on I-70 and head west From Beaver Creek: Get on I-70 and head east Take the Minturn/Leadville exit 171. At the bottom of the ramp turn right onto Highway 24. You will proceed about 15 miles and our driveway will be on the left just past mile marker 159 and marked by Nova Guides signage. Once you turn into the driveway, follow it down and check into the Lodge. From Leadville Winter Entrance Head north out of Leadville, follow signs to turn left onto Hwy 24 West, and travel 15 miles. Our driveway is 9/10ths of a mile past mile marker 160. Our driveway will be on the right-hand side with a stone entry and Nova Guides signage. Once you turn onto the driveway, follow it down and check into the Lodge.
