Getting to the WeddingGetting to the Wedding
Our wedding will be held at The Barn at Raccoon Creek (7301 W Bowles Ave, Littleton, CO 80123). Whether you are flying in or driving down, here is everything you need to know about getting here and getting around. Arriving at Denver International Airport (DEN) Depending on where you decide to stay, you have a few options for getting from the airport to your lodging: • Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): Pickups are located on Level 5 (Island 5) of the main terminal. A ride to the Littleton area will take about 45 to 60 minutes, and prices will vary based on demand. • RTD A Line Commuter Train: If you are staying downtown, this is the easiest way to avoid highway traffic! It runs directly from the airport to Denver Union Station in about 37 minutes. The fare is $10 each way. View the A Line Schedule • Rental Cars: DEN has a centralized rental car facility. After landing, head to Level 5 (Island 4) outside the main terminal doors to catch a free shuttle to the rental car agencies.
Travel Note
** A Note on Traffic **** A Note on Traffic **
Since our wedding events take place on weekdays, please keep weekday rush hour traffic in mind when planning your arrival and travel. Thursday and Friday afternoon traffic heading south from the airport or out of downtown Denver toward Littleton can become quite heavy between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. If your schedule allows, we suggest arriving in Colorado earlier in the day to get settled in and avoid the late-afternoon commute. Please keep this in mind for traveling to the ceremony if you staying further away from the venue as well!

Our venue, The Barn at Raccoon Creek, is located in Littleton, CO.

Make a Vacation Out of It! If you want to explore more of Colorado and turn your travel into a mini-vacation, staying in the surrounding areas is a fantastic idea. These locations offer plenty of activities while keeping you within a reasonable drive (about 30 to 45 minutes) of the wedding festivities: • Downtown Denver (Union Station / LoDo): Perfect for walkability, incredible dining, museums, and nightlife. Hotels like The Crawford Hotel (right inside Union Station) or the SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown are excellent choices for a city-centric stay. • Golden: A charming town nestled right against the foothills. It offers a wonderful mountain-town feel, famous brewery tours, and great hiking trails, all without having to venture too far up into the Rockies.
