The father of the bride has booked a private evening for a group of up to 20 people to experience Skyspace- a stunning James Turrell experience described below. If you're in town and are interested, RSVP yes! Because of the intimacy of the space, space is limited to the first 20 people. Directly from the website: "Built on a butte overlooking Gazebo Lake and bathed by the rustling of pine trees, the Green Mountain Falls Skyspace is a harmonious addition to the charming town at the foothills of Pikes Peak—an extension of the landscape, preserved in its natural setting. Be enveloped in a kinetic light and color encounter—a sensory and contemplative experience unlike anywhere else in the world. The Skyspace stands at 18-feet-tall and is one of the few in the world with a retractable roof, allowing for “closed roof” shows to occur outside of our Sunrise and Sunset experiences." https://greenboxarts.org/skyspace/
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Attire: mountain casual
Join us for a casual dinner and margaritas to kick off our wedding weekend! Green Mountain Falls has been a special place in Rio's family for many generations and we want to share this little slice of heaven with you.
12:00 am - 11:45 pm
We spaced our wedding events out to give you time to explore the beauty that the mountains of Colorado have to offer. Go on an epic adventure and tell us about it at the reception! Check out our "Things To Do" page for some fab suggestions.
5:00 pm
Attire: cocktail attire with a strong nod to the mountain west. The mountains in June can be chilly in the evenings; we encourage you to bring an extra layer as the evening is partly al fresco. Think cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, prairie mumus, collared shirts, jackets, and slacks. Please refrain from denim, birkenstocks, and tennis shoes. Instead, think boots and bolos :)
Please join us at The Hilltop to celebrate our union! Immediately following, guests can expect a short walk to the patio for a lovely cocktail hour. A golf cart is available for transport for those who need assistance- please let us know in advance. In lieu of a traditional evening and dancing, we invite you to the largest dinner party we will ever host. Good food, good drink, good people, and time well spent are important to us and we want to share that with all of our favorite people. Dinner will be family style and include many options. If you have dietary restrictions, please let us know. Think of the feeling of having an intimate dinner party with great people and opening just one more bottle of wine to share because you're having the best, most soul-fulfilling time- that's what we are inviting you to.
