Additional Info
Question
Venue Tips
Answer
The ride up and down the mountain requires two separate gondolas. Ushers will be stationed at the changing point to help direct guests. As the venue is nearly 12,000 feet in elevation, we will have an oxygen bar available for any guests that may need it. We will have an area where people can keep coats, a change of comfortable shoes, or any bags that are brought up, as temperatures drop considerably at night on the mountain.
Question
Wine and Jazz Festival
Answer
There will be a Wine and Jazz festival in the River Run Village of Keystone taking place on Saturday 7/12 and Sunday 7/13 from 11:30am - 5pm each day. Although it is sure to be a fun event, it will likely make the village more crowded and louder than usual.
Question
What is the weather like in Keystone in July?
Answer
A little unpredictable! Usually in the 60's or 70's during the day and dropping to 50's (or even 40's) at night. Quick afternoon storms are also pretty common.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
For the Friday night welcome party, wear whatever you'd like! For the ceremony and reception, we ask that you wear semi-formal, typical wedding attire.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
As much as we love your little ones, this is an adult only event and we kindly ask that no children be brought to the venue.
