Question
Does the venue have parking?
Answer
Colorado Chautauqua has very limited parking space available within the National Historic Landmark boundary. Utilizing a ride share or carpooling to Chautauqua is strongly encouraged. Parking spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage guests to consider using the free Park-to-Park shuttle service: https://www.bouldercoloradousa.com/outdoors/hiking/hiker-shuttles/park-to-park-shuttle/#map Park-to-Park provides free satellite parking and shuttle service to and from Chautauqua Park on summer weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend in late May to Labor Day weekend in early September. The free shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays only. Please be aware that the ceremony and reception will be held on a Saturday and parking may become extremely limited as locals and visitors park on Baseline Road to access the Flat Irons. Please allow extra time to locate parking if you are driving.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please plan to arrive between 11am-11:45am. We will have appetizers and cocktails on the porch before the ceremony begins at 12:00pm.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
For the Ceremony and Reception: Please wear art nouveau inspired cocktail attire. For summertime in Northern Colorado, we suggest knee-length or longer dresses, formal jumpsuits, elegant separates, sport coats & pants, or suits. Please avoid wearing white dresses or green suits. For ideas, please visit this Pinterest board: https://pin.it/10thKDsB9 Art nouveau is an art style from the early 20th century, it draws directly from nature, rejecting straight lines in favor of curves, vines, petals, and organic forms. Think colorful florals and organic motifs. Please note that the ceremony and reception are inside. While Boulder in July is sunny and warm, summer afternoon rain storms are likely. For the Welcome Dinner and After Party: Feel free to dress casual. Think sundresses, jumpsuits, button-ups, slacks or jeans.
