Our Story
Caitlin and Erik are a Hinge success story. Midwest girl meets an East Coast boy in Denver and fall in love. They quickly bonded over their love of lobster rolls and Allagash beer. Erik taught Caitlin the mysteries of Bigfoot and how to make the perfect peach pie. Caitlin impressed Erik by knowing how to make a perfectly balanced cocktail and being the best duck hunting companion. They share a dream of one day owning property with a pond for Sage to swim in, an orchard for Erik to harvest apples from and a wrap-around porch with a swing for Caitlin and her cat Wesley to read on.

Things To Do
Old Town Shopping
One of my favorite things to do in Fort Collins is walk up and down College Avenue and check out all of the wonderful boutiques and local stops. A few of my favorites are Muse Clothing Boutique, The Perennial Gardener, Wagz Pet Market, Sunday Supply Co and Ivy Boutique.
New Belgium Brewing Company
The New Belgium tap room offers full tap selection featuring year-round favorites and small-batch beauties. Free tours (book in advance to claim a spot) and a different food truck every day. Kids and well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. Indoor bars, outdoor patio and lawn.
Stodgy Brewing Company
One of our favorite breweries off the beaten path! Cozy indoor taproom, spacious patio. It's the perfect local neighborhood brewery. Friendly dogs welcome inside and out.
Horsetooth Reservoir
If you're looking for outdoor activities during your Colorado stay, Horsetooth Reservoir has beautiful trails to take in the scenery. My favorite is the easy Foothills Trail, 2.6 miles out and back!
FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Dressy casual - think mountain chic! The ceremony is taking place in a beautiful pasture with mountain views so embrace the rustic romance of the surroundings and go for rich tones like deep greens, browns, burgundies and warm neutrals! Mid to long dresses and tailored chinos, button-ups and blazers would be appropriate.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Typical highs for October are mid 60s during the day and low 30s at night. I would recommend bringing a jacket for the evening. The ceremony will be taking place outside but the reception has both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Question
Do we have a hotel block?
Answer
No, we did not reserve a hotel block. Since this is a small, intimate wedding with both hotel and Airbnb options, our guests can decide what suits them best!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Guests may start arriving at 4:30 PM and the ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM.
Question
Is parking available at the venue?
Answer
Yes! There are 42 parking spaces available onsite. The venue is only a 15 minute drive from Old Town, Fort Collins so Uber and Lyft services should be readily available as well!
