COVID-19 & FAQs

Question

Is your wedding still happening?

Answer

The short answer is yes! Our venue is located in Chaffee County, CO. Events are allowed to take place at a reduced capacity to allow for social distancing. As we all adapt to an uncertain time with COVID-19, we are monitoring the news carefully. We are prepared to take every precaution necessary to make our wedding safe for our guests, even if that means postponing/canceling it. Our wedding is happening as planned, and we look forward to celebrating with you all on September 26th! We also want you to know that if for any reason you cannot attend our wedding we understand. You were invited to our wedding because you are important to us, and our top priority is making sure people feel safe at our celebration.
