We kindly ask our guests to join us in true black tie attire. Gentlemen: A black tuxedo with a black bow tie is requested. Ladies: A formal, floor-length evening gown with a structured silhouette is requested. Guests are encouraged to wear comfortable and secure footwear for a mountain ceremony and ladies are encouraged to bring an additional layer of clothing as we may experience cooler temperatures in the evening.
We have carefully planned our guest list, and each invitation is addressed to the guests who are invited. We kindly ask that only those whose names appear on the invitation attend.
Wedding day transportation will be provided to Cliffhouse and Buttermilk Mountain Lodge. An early "return" trip will be offered for those guests who may prefer to retire early. Final end of the evening transportation will be provided at the conclusion of the reception and after party. Specific pick-up and drop-off schedule and location(s) will be published closer to the big day.
We are beyond excited to celebrate with you in the colorful state of Colorado! You'll be staying at an elevation above 8,000 ft. while in Aspen. Here are a few recommendations to help acclimate to the higher elevation so you may enjoy the entire wedding weekend of activities! * Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Begin drinking lots of water (2-3) days prior to your arrival in Colorado and continuously throughout your stay. * If your schedule and budget allow, plan to arrive (1-2) days prior to the BIG day to allow your body to adjust gradually to the substantial increase in altitude. * Alcohol will affect you faster than normal. (1) drink = (3) drinks. Your body will process alcohol faster than at home. We highly encourage you to review the link provided below for additional tips and tricks for altitude acclimation! https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/altitude-sickness.html
