John’s Ride Experiences

August 19, 2022 2:30 pm - 11:30 pm

North Star Gatherings has limited parking for guests. It is also at the top of a switch-back road which may be a bit daunting for those unfamiliar with Colorado’s mountains. We have hired a shuttle service featuring 14 passenger vans. There will be a pick up/ drop off location at the Hampton Inn Denver West, Sheraton Denver West as well as a secondary locations in Idaho Springs and Black Hawk. For those who would like to continue the night with the Bride and Groom there may be availability for drop off in Black Hawk after the reception.
