Festivities

Check In to the Ranch

5:00 pm

Check-in starts at 5pm—your room or cabin will be clearly marked, even if no one’s there to greet you. Thursday night is a casual hangout: enjoy drinks by the fire, head into Salida (5 mins away), or join in for boggle, hot tubbing, and general tomfoolery.

Western Denim Dance Party

5:00 pm

Western Theme- wear denim, a bolo tie, cowboy hat, or boots! Have fun, be casual- its a party

This is the official welcome party because not everyone can make it out Thursday! We will have beer, seltzers, and wine and plan to grill homemade Hungarian brats! Western Attire not mandatory, but like kinda. Let's boot scoot and boogie the night away

Wedding

4:00 pm - 11:45 pm

Semi Formal/Cocktail Attire: nice dresses or jumpsuits for the ladies. Boots may be more comfortable than heels, but heels are doable at the ranch! For the guys, suits or jackets and slacks. If you are unsure what to wear text David or Erika. Inspo pictures in the FAQ section

Ceremony is on the ranch property (just like everything else) and will be a short intimate outdoor ceremony. You may possibly need a jacket as weather will vary at this time of the year! Cocktail Hour will follow near the reception area just a short walk from the ceremony. Reception with catered dinner to follow. The whole wedding is outside, but the reception area will be tented. Please bring a coat if needed as it will be mid October and when the sun goes down we may have a chill in the air. However, dancing in the moonlight should keep us all warm! The lodge is right next to the outdoor reception area and will be used for dinner if a storm comes through- but that's not going to happen (manifest with us). The DJ has to stop at 10pm due to local noise ordinances and the ranch has a few neighbors. However, we will continue to party at the firepit or in the back of the lodge on the deck and in the hot tub! Bring a bathing suit!
