The ceremony begins at 4:00 pm MDT, and we recommend that you arrive atleast 15 minutes early to find a seat.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Early September in Albuquerque is pleasantly warm and dry, transitioning from summer into fall. Days are sunny with highs frequently in the mid-to-upper 80s, while nights are cool, dropping to the upper 50s to low 60s. It is generally dry, but we do get occasional late monsoon storms.
Question
Do I have to stay at Hotel Chaco or Hotel Albuquerque?
Answer
Not at all! However, we do recommend that if you want to stay somewhere else, you ask Ryan and Sam about different location options. Like many cities, Albuquerque has its rough areas, and we want to make sure all our guests are safe and comfortable.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Cocktail attire, e.g. nice dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or suits. It will be warm at the ceremony and may get a bit chilly at night, so we recommend some sort of jacket or cardigan option depending on the weather.
Question
Are there any colors I should avoid wearing?
Answer
We just ask that no one wears white, as the bride will be in white. Otherwise, please feel free to wear any color!
Question
Is there parking?
Answer
Yes, there is plenty of free parking at Hotel Chaco.
Question
What if I have a dietary restriction?
Answer
The caterers are prepared for any food allergies or restrictions, and will provide a different meal for you. Please include this information on your RSVP and we will make sure that it is accommodated.
Question
Will alcohol be served?
Answer
Yes, we will have an open bar during the cocktail hour and the after party, and wine will be served at dinner. We will also have signature mocktails for those who do not wish to drink.
Question
Can I bring marijuana?
Answer
Due to strict policies at our venue, we cannot allow smoking, vaping, or any other substances at the event. We appreciate your understanding!
Question
Will there be dancing?

We will have music and dancing space at the after party, but we are not big dancers so we won't have any formalized or choreographed dances.

Please feel free to text Sam or Ryan with any additional questions!
