Our ceremony and reception will be a semi-formal event. Tuxes, suits, or cocktail attire recommended. No jeans or shorts please. The Welcome Event is a casual event, especially with many people traveling in that day.
Appetizers will be served at cocktail hour, and immediately following will be dinner at 6:30pm. The menu will be made up of 3 unique styles of food which will be served at stations around the room. This will be a "serve yourself" style dinner made up of small plates. Options offered will be Asian, Taco, and Slider Stations. Desserts will be offered after dinner in the form of mini bites! We will have a New York Style Cheesecake Bite, a Lemon Meringue Tartlet, and a Nutella Tartlet. We will also have hot chocolate and coffee stations to keep you warm as the evening cools down!

November in CO is typically more mild than the rest of winter. We always recommend layers when traveling to CO. The afternoons are often warm enough to be outside comfortably with a coat or sweater while the nights will definitely be chillier. Rain and snow are possible this time of year and we suggest checking the forecast before you leave.
Some people have difficulty adjusting to the higher elevation in the mountains but most of the time you may only notice a slight shortness of breath. This is also a desert climate so bring some moisturizer and chapstick. We always recommend drinking lots of water to combat the elevation and dryness, especially when drinking alcohol.
