We are excited to be celebrating on a working ranch in the mountains of southern Colorado! Dress code is country and western — cowboy boots and hats are strongly encouraged, and casual suits and flowy dresses in earthy tones and floral prints are perfect. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors in the pasture and gravel yard, with dinner and dancing moving into the barn. Leave the heels at home and break out your best boots!
The wedding will be held 7 miles west of Gardner, CO — a beautiful and remote mountain town in southern Colorado. The nearest airports are Colorado Springs (2 hrs) and Denver (3 hrs). We strongly recommend booking accommodations early as options are limited in the area.
August in Gardner means warm sunny afternoons (high 70s) but evenings cool down quickly — expect temperatures in the low 60s by dancing time. We recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap, especially for later in the night.
Gardner is remote. There are no restaurants, gas stations, or grocery stores in Gardner, so we recommend stocking up in Pueblo, Walsenburg, or Westcliffe before heading in. Cell service is also limited, so download your directions before you lose signal.
Fiona and Marcos would love to spend time with anyone coming in early. You are welcome to hang on the ranch with us hiking, relaxing by the river, or getting a ranch tour. Text/call Fiona if you'd like more details. Gardner does have one bar, Four Seasons Bar, that is cash only. They do have a pool table and cold beer.
We love your little ones — children are welcome at our celebration.
