Please RSVP no later than March 22, 2025 so we can provide a final headcount to our reception venue.
We will be traveling Thursday and staying through Sunday. All the main wedding events will take place on Saturday, June 21st, so you are free to plan your trip around then! We encourage you to make a getaway out of it and explore Colorado while you're here.
Yes! We will be staying at Lazy R Cottages which is within walking distance from our reception location. Triple R Cottages is a sister vacation-rental and is also nearby. We have also stayed at The Appenzel Inn and recommend it!
The ceremony will begin at 5:00pm. We recommend getting to the location around 4:45pm to get settled. Please consider driving time and potential stops for entrance fees.
Semi-Formal/Cocktail Attire While there won't be a long hike, there is a small walk to the ceremony spot. There will not be any chairs provided as they are prohibited by the park. Please wear comfortable shoes. The reception will be completely indoors.
There is a large parking lot at the ceremony spot in the park. You will have no issues finding a spot for your car. At Bird's Nest, the parking is very limited, so we recommend carpooling or taking the Estes Park shuttle.
Due to guest limits, we can only allow attendees who have been formally invited by us. You are more than welcome to travel with additional people to explore Colorado, however they can not attend the wedding events.
We highly recommend spending some time hiking around RMNP! The park recently put in new procedures to help maintain crowds during peak seasons.

With a Timed Entry + Bear Lake Road reservation, you also have access to all other areas of the park.
