The cocktail hour will be held in Unit A3 on the grounds of the Black Canyon Inn.
Yes! However, due to the packages available among other considerations, it will be a cash bar. We will be the providing drinks the night before the ceremony at our cocktail hour.
Kids say the darnedest things, but outside of the wedding party we ask that you please leave your kids at home or with a babysitter for the wedding and leave this one to the adults. If you plan on attending the cocktail hour the night before the wedding and you are making it a family weekend the children are more than welcome to join this event. Please find links below to assist in your sitter search. www.totsonthespot.com https://www.sittercity.com/babysitters/co/estes-park https://www.care.com/babysitters/estes-park-co
It'll probably be pretty cold... Probably a good idea to come with a jacket. If you are not from Colorado, there is a 50% chance there will be no snow and a 50% chance there will be a blizzard. We will be getting married outside but the seating will be inside. However, the doors will be open during the ceremony so no promises the inside stays warm. Cocktail hour may be outside dependent on weather, as well as firepit hangout zones.
Estes Park is a well taken care of town. While it may snow, the roads are well cleaned and maintained, so AWD is a safe bet but not generally required.
We recommend staying at The Black Canyon Inn, which has lodges and condos on-site and will provide an easy walk back after a night full of shenanigans. If you elect to stay elsewhere, please note there is no rideshare in Estes Park, but they do have a local taxi service.
Who has a wedding without dancing??? Of course!
UNFORTUNATELY, The Black Canyon Inn does not allow dogs, so he won't be :(
Just some people, who knows.
The venue has told us that we will not be able to do our food tasting until November. We will need everyone to pick their food for the reception when they RSVP, so our invites will be sent out right after our tasting.
Please just let us know if this happens. We submit final food numbers just a couple weeks before the wedding, so by letting us know you may save us some money!
