Flight
Denver International Airport (DEN)
Lyons is 1 hour from the Denver airport and Boulder is 45 minutes. As you leave Denver airport, we recommend taking the toll road (E-470 N) to avoid Denver traffic. You can use any of the rental car companies at DEN airport or use Turo. If you don't want to have a rental car for the weekend, Lyft and Uber are also a great option.
Shuttle
Premier Charters
October 4, 2025 2:45 pm - 1:30 am
We are providing transportation to and from Boulder for our wedding. One bus will pickup from the St Julien Hotel and another at Embassy Suites. The buses will arrive at 2:45pm and depart at 3pm. Please be prompt if you plan to take the provided shuttles. Transportation back to the hotels will be available at the end of the reception. We will also provide transportation during our after party at Oskar Blues, with additional returns to Boulder running approximately every 30 minutes between 11:30pm-1am. The final trip will depart Oskars at 1am. As a note, Uber/Lyft do not operate in Lyons, so please plan to utilize the provided transportation unless you are self-driving or staying within walking distance to the venue.

St Julien Hotel & Spa
The St Julien Hotel & Spa is a wonderful high-end boutique hotel located right in the middle of downtown Boulder and all the action. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance. We have secured a room block here and it will serve as one of our shuttle pickup/return spots. You may make room reservations by contacting the in-house Reservations Team at sjreservations@stjulien.com or through the hotel line 720-406-9696.

House Or Rental
Airbnb or VRBO
There are a limited number of Airbnb and VRBO houses in Lyons. If you'd like to stay in our town (and the town where the wedding will take place), we suggest booking early as the options are limited. Another great option is to rent a house in Boulder (only 18 miles away). Our Friday night welcome dinner will be held in Boulder and we will have shuttles transporting guests from Boulder to Lyons on the day of the wedding. Please contact us if you have questions about the location, house, etc. We are happy to help!
Hotel
Boulder Marriott
If you prefer a Marriott property, the Boulder Marriott is a great mid-range option and is very close to the Embassy Suites where we will have a shuttle bus stop for the wedding. *This hotel shares a parking lot with the Residence Inn Marriott property as well, which is another option in the same vicinity.
