FAQs

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your RSVP says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your kids - we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! We kindly ask that your children under 16 stay at home.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

When you arrive at Della Terra, the transportation staff will instruct you where to park. They will pick you up at your parking spot and take you to the ceremony location.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail/semi-formal, please. Please note that our ceremony, cocktail hour, and some of the reception after dinner will be taking place outside. It will cool down once the sun sets, so make sure to bring a light jacket!

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Yes there will be alcohol available, but please be mindful especially if you are coming from a lower elevation. Alcohol hits you way harder and faster at altitude. The venue will be checking everyone's ID who plans on drinking. We ask that our guests drink responsibly...there can be other arrangements made so that you do not have to drink and drive!

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer

Please hold off on taking pictures until after the ceremony has ended! We have hired an amazing photographer and videographer and do not want to see raised cellphones in the background of our special day. There will be plenty of opportunities to have photos captured for each guest. We encourage guests to post pictures on their social media channels, our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #SoonToBeShaefer so we can keep track of all of your pictures!

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

Summer highs average in the 70s with night temperatures around 40. Colorado is incredibly bipolar; it can be sunny and 85 one day, then 20 and snowing the next. Pack for the summer, but don't forget your sweater for when the sun falls behind the mountains! Just be sure to keep track of the weather before your trip.

Question

What is the altitude of Estes Park?

Answer

The venue sits at 8,300 feet above sea level. To make the most of your trip, we want to you to be aware of the potential affects traveling to the mountains can have on you physically. Altitude sickness can happen in response to the low air pressure and reduced oxygen. Keep the following tips in mind to help prevent altitude sickness: Ascend slowly: If possible, try and spend a day at a lower altitude before heading up another several thousand feet. Get rest: It is recommended to get plenty of rest before and at the beginning of your trip so your body can adjust to the new environment. For the first few nights, hit the hay early so you can go hard in the paint later in the trip! Stay hydrated: Before and during your trip, drink plenty of water to reduce the chances of dehydration
