FAQs

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We love each and every one of you and want to keep our celebration intimate, so we are keeping our guest list limited to those specifically invited. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

To allow all guests an evening of relaxation and celebration, we’ve chosen to make our wedding an adults-only event. We hope you can arrange for childcare and join us in the festivities! If you need assistance finding a babysitter in Telluride, please reach out to Lindsey to coordinate at (303) 319-6448.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Everything in Telluride is walkable and most hotels have a shuttle service, if needed. To get to the ceremony, you'll take the Telluride-Mountain Village Gondola to a shuttle service from the mid-station at the top of the mountain to the venue. The shuttle will return guests to the gondola mid-station and the reception venue is walkable from the base area in the Town of Telluride. If you need special transportation accommodations, please reach out to Lindsey or Kyle so we can help coordinate.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Telluride’s September weather is usually lovely, with mild daytime temperatures and cool evenings. Average highs are around 70°F, but it can drop to the 40s in the evening. We recommend layers to stay comfortable throughout the day and night. September is generally a dry month in Telluride, but mountain weather can be unpredictable. Light showers are possible, so packing a light jacket or umbrella is a good idea, just in case.

Question

Any advice on dressing for the altitude?

Answer

Telluride is over 8,700 feet above sea level, so you may feel the effects of the altitude. Staying hydrated is key, and bringing sunscreen is wise, as the sun is stronger up here. Comfortable, breathable clothing and layers will help you stay at ease all day!

Question

What should I know about Telluride’s high altitude?

Answer

Telluride sits at 8,750 feet above sea level, so the altitude can catch visitors by surprise! At this elevation, oxygen levels are lower, which may lead to altitude sickness for some. You might feel a bit out of breath or notice mild headaches, especially on your first day here. The best way to adjust is to take it easy at first. Here are some tips: - Consider arriving a day or two early to allow your body to adjust and acclimate. - Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Altitude can make you feel dehydrated quickly, so drink plenty of water. - Avoid alcohol and caffeine during your first day or two, as they can increase dehydration. - Eat light meals and try to avoid heavy foods at first, as digestion can be slower at high elevations. - Rest well and listen to your body if you need a break! If you experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or difficulty breathing, try to rest, stay hydrated, and consider oxygen supplements, which are available locally. If symptoms persist, it’s best to seek medical advice.
