All wedding events will be held at the Surf Hotel in Buena Vista, Colorado. SURF HOTEL 1012 Front Loop Buena Vista, CO 81211
Dress Code: Semi-Formal We're excited to see you dressed up for our special day! Picture the vibrant, whimsical colors of Colorado wildflowers as your inspiration. Women will look stunning in cocktail dresses, elegant midi or long dresses. Gentlemen, opt for a well-tailored suit or a crisp dress shirt with slacks and a tie. To maintain the event's refined atmosphere, we kindly ask that you avoid casual attire like shorts, jeans, khakis, flip-flops, tennis shoes, and short-sleeve shirts. As a gentle reminder, please refrain from wearing white dresses to ensure the bride remains the focal point. Black and white are not recommended for guests. While selecting your shoes, be mindful that the ceremony will be on uneven ground in a meadow. If you're unsure about your outfit, don't hesitate to reach out—we're happy to help you find the perfect ensemble!
We have created a guest list that keeps us within the capacity limits of our venue. Therefore, we will only be able to accommodate the people listed on your invitation.
We love your kiddos, but due to venue capacity, we’ll only be including children from our immediate family in the weekend’s events. We hope this gives our guests with children a chance to enjoy a fun, relaxing celebration and a well-deserved weekend away! Thank you so much for your understanding and for making arrangements in advance—we truly appreciate it.
The bar will open during cocktail hour and stay open through the reception—so feel free to enjoy a drink (or two) and celebrate with us!
Yes! There will be an appetizer display during the cocktail hour.
We kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away during our ceremony. We’ve hired a wonderful photographer to capture every meaningful moment, and we’ll be sharing all the photos with you afterward—complementary, of course! After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you'd like during cocktail hour, the reception, and the rest of the weekend. We’ve even got a fun little surprise planned to help you snap some extra special shots for us! 🤭
