We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off!
Cocktail, please. The average high in Idaho Springs in September is 72 and the low is 36. Our ceremony and reception are all outdoors (the reception tent has heaters) so definitely bring a jacket for when the sun goes down!
Colorado has very strict underage drinking policies and Blackstone Rivers Ranch will 100% check your ID (yes, even if you are clearly over 21!) so PLEASE bring your ID if you would like to drink. Blackstone Rivers Ranch is also quite strict with regard to drugs/alcohol. Bringing alcohol onto the venue site is strictly PROHIBITED by the venue so please do not try to bring your own drinks in (i.e. pretty please don't cost us our deposit) - we have plenty of great drinks for everyone to enjoy.
Idaho Springs sits at 7,526 ft about sea-level and that dehydrates you FAR faster than normal. Please hydrate well prior to your trip out, and drink wayyy more water than you think you need while you're in CO. Altitude sickness is generally caused by dehydration so please, HYDRATE!
Yes, the shuttles will be departing for the ceremony from the Fairfield Inn & Suites Denver Downtown (2747 Wyandot St, Denver, CO 80211) at 3:45pm MST. We will have staggered shuttles leaving the venue to go back to the hotel at 9:30pm, 10:30pm, and 10:45pm. You may uber/lyft there but there is very little cell reception at the venue so you will need to take the shuttle home
Yes! There is free parking at the venue; however, overnight parking is not allowed
