Answer

The wedding ceremony begins at 5pm. We kindly ask that you arrive between 4:30pm and 4:45pm to allow time for seating and to help us start on schedule.

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

**Wedding Dress Code: Cocktail / Formal Attire** Gentlemen are encouraged to wear suits, with tuxedos welcome as an option. Please plan for dress shirts, slacks, and formal shoes. Ladies, we invite you to wear cocktail dresses, formal gowns, or elevated evening attire.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

You can find our complete registry information in the registry section of our website. We'd love for you to visit and explore all the details there!

Question

Can we take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that you enjoy the ceremony without cameras and phones—an unplugged ceremony. We've hired an exceptional professional photographer to capture every meaningful moment, and we'd love for you to be fully present with us rather than viewing the day through a screen. We'll have a dedicated time for you to take photos and celebrate together.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We’ve made the tough decision to have an adults-only wedding. The only children that will be present are participating in the wedding party. We appreciate your understanding.

Are there hotel room blocks available?

Answer

Yes! We've reserved a few different hotels at discounted rates to ensure easy travel plans! Please visit the "Travel" tab on our website for all the details about our hotel room blocks.

Question

What type of food and drink will be served?

Answer

We will be serving hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner during the reception. This includes an open bar with soft drinks, beer, wine, seltzer, and premium liquor cocktails.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place outdoors in the courtyard, with the option to move indoors should weather require it. Dinner and dancing will be held indoors.

Question

What weather should I expect?

Answer

Late summer in Colorado typically offers mild weather, though nature always has surprises in store. You can expect daytime highs around 80°F, with temperatures cooling to a comfortable 50-60°F as evening sets in.

Question

Is transportation provided? Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

We are not providing any formal transportation but both our ceremony and reception are taking place at Craftwood Peak. There is parking available onsite. However, if you are going to be partaking in alcohol, we ask that you carpool or use Uber or Lyft instead.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Friday June 1st, 2026 You can RSVP on the tab on our website. Paper RSVP cards were not included in our invitations to ensure seamless headcount’s.

Question

Who should I contact if I still have questions?

Answer

Please feel free to reach out directly to the bride or groom—they'd be happy to help! If you don't have their contact information, connecting with a family member you know well is a great alternative.
