Anywhere from 4:30-5:00: Bride, groom, and parties announced 10:00: Reception ends; bride and groom exit.
The ceremony will be outdoors on the Vail Wedding Deck. The reception will be inside a tent.
Please see our travel page for more details! As for getting to Vail, you can either fly directly into Vail, or fly into Denver and take a shuttle to Vail/rent a car. We get discounts on the shuttle so be sure to see our travel page for all of those details. We encourage all guests to stay in Vail Village or Lionshead Village, as there is a free bus throughout and between the two that will be utilized throughout the weekend!
We ask that guests please arrive no later than 2:30 to the base of the gondola in Lionshead Village. Guests will upload the gondola at that time and the ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 pm.
