The venue is on private land surrounded by the Dawson Butte Ranch Open Space. Google maps will take you to the trailhead (1753 Tomah Rd, Castle Rock, CO 80109). DO NOT park at the trailhead parking lot. Instead, drive straight ahead to go through the gate. The gate will be open with a sign and person checking against an invite list. Drive carefully ~1 mile down the dirt road until you see the tent on the right. Parking will be on the left just past the fence. The ceremony, happy hour, and reception will all be within ~500 feet of parking. Annotated maps describing the drive in and general layout of the venue may be found here: https://imgur.com/a/kwx0IxT
It will probably be fairly hot during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Upper 80's to mid 90's is most likely. We want to give people enough options so that they can stay cool in the heat, so think of the dress code as semi-formal, but a little more lightweight (e.g., no sportscoats are necessary). Please also note: The entire wedding will be in a field on a Colorado ranch. Closed-toe footwear is highly recommended!
It's been relatively dry recently and this wedding is in a very fire-prone location, so we will not have fireworks. We also ask that people kindly refrain from bringing fireworks of their own. In this same vein, we will have a designated location for smoking (of any kind) with sand buckets and water available.
We'll have an open brunch the morning after the wedding starting at 10:00 am in Castle Rock. Philip S. Miller Park, Pavilion 2 1375 W Plum Creek Pkwy, Castle Rock, CO 80109 Please feel free to swing by for any length of time to say hi in a more laid-back setting!
