FAQs
Question
High Altitude!
Answer
We want to remind all our friends and family that our wedding venue is at a higher altitude. Della Terra Mountain Chateau elevation is 8,296 feet; remember with the elevation that one drink counts as three! Please drink plenty of water and be mindful to catch your breath, as our air is really thinner. Arriving a couple days before the wedding will help you acclimate at a lower elevation. You may consider staying in Denver or somewhere else on the front range for one night before ascending further. Symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, and shortness of breath and in most cases it's usually mild and solved by descending in elevation. Friendly reminder that you get intoxicated faster at a high altitude.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Formal or Black-tie Optional. For our summer wedding, our ceremony will be held outdoors with an indoor reception. We suggest that men wear a lightweight suit or slacks with a button up shirt and women wear a cocktail dress or nice pantsuit (in any color excluding white).
Question

Answer

Transportation staff will be available to take you to your car in the evening. You may always leave your vehicle at Della Terra and pick it up the next morning. Please do not drink and drive.
