Yes the Ceremony and Reception will both be held at Dunafon Castle.
Anyone who's been in Colorado knows that the weather is near impossible to predict for the whole day. While June is usually a warm month, there is always a possibility of rain. At night it can also be cold as we will be more in the mountains. It is suggested that you bring a sweater/shall/coat/etc for the evening portion of the reception. Please note that both the Ceremony & Reception will be OUTDOORS so please bring any clothing you feel necessary to make you comfortable knowing that we will be outside from 4pm-11pm.
Sammie and I LOVE children, but we ask that you please use this night as "Parents Night Out" and respectfully request that no children under the age of 16 attend the Ceremony or Reception.
In general, the dress code will be formal attire but not strictly enforced (back tie is not required). We want our guests to be comfortable, but ask that you consider wearing slacks/dress pants, a dress, or dress shirt. For shoes, please note that the venue along with pavement, does have hills, grass and stairs. This dress code will be the same for the Guyla on Sunday. Most women will be in dresses, most men will be in slacks and a button down shirt, some men will be wearing sports coats.
There is limited parking so it would be a good idea for some to carpool if you can. There will be a free valet when you get onsite and will be there all night for whenever you decide to leave. There will also be a shuttle that will go from the Denver Marriott Hotel to the venue and back which will be free to all our guests.
EVERYONE! Anyone who is able to make the Casino night on Thursday June 22 is welcome to come! This event is for anyone who wants a little extra time with us. We are going to host it at the hotel most people will be staying at for convenience of our out of town guests but locals are always welcome.
The easiest place we think to stay will be at the Denver Marriott West hotel in Denver. We have a hotel block there for our guests with a discounted rate of $165/room/night. This rate is valid until May 25, 2023. Another benefit of staying at this hotel is there will be a complimentary shuttle from the hotel to the venue and back so you don't have to worry about parking and can party until your heart's desire! If the hotel is not the right fit for you, there are several other hotels in the area and several airBnB/VRBO options available. The best cities/towns to look for if you are considering this option, are Golden, Evergreen, and Morrison as they are the closest to our venue which is located in Idledale.
