Can I get up to the ceremony site without getting on a chairlift?Can I get up to the ceremony site without getting on a chairlift?

Answer

Yes! Just let us know ahead of time if you'd like to go and down in the shuttle instead of taking the chairlift. We will have one available, but we do need to know ahead of time who will be riding in it. Please email our wedding planner, Rosy Foster, at marcandrose.eventco@gmail.com to tell her if you'd like to have a seat on the shuttle.

Question

Maybe! Late September in the Colorado mountains can be wildly unpredictable. Might be in the 70s. Might have a nice autumn chill. Might snow! It could do all of those in one afternoon. We suggest planning on bringing an outer later just in case.

Question

What do I do about shoes?What do I do about shoes?

Answer

You'll want to have comfortable (stable!) shoes for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The ceremony is on the mountain top, with a dirt/gravel ground. The cocktail hour is on a giant lawn. So, pointy heels might sink into the ground. But you have options! We'll have some "heel savers" you can attach to your high heels if needed. Or, just plan to wear chunky heels. Or no heels! Or, you can bring boots, sneakers, or other sensible shoes. Wear them for the ceremony and then change, or rock them all night.
