We can't wait to kick off the weekend with you at The Axe & Oak Distillery at Ivywild School! Expect cocktails, live music, and a chance to say hello before the madness begins. First two rounds on us! P.S. If you're looking for dinner plans before the welcome party, Ivywild School has Ivywild Kitchen, Bristol's Spark Beer+BBQ, Decent Pizza Co, and other amazing spots for light bites and libations!
3:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Cowboy Cocktail
Dust off your finest boots and bring your cocktail best. Think elevated cocktail attire with a touch of Western charm: boots, tailored jackets, bolo ties, statement jewelry, rich winter fabrics, and your favorite Colorado-inspired flair. The goal is festive, polished, and fun—not costume. We can't wait to see everyone's take on Cowboy Cocktail! In true Colorado fashion, the forecast is more of a suggestion than a guarantee...It might snow, shine, and warm up all in the same day. Come prepared with a coat, and we'll handle the rest. And of course, come hungry and thirsty, too: We'll have a variety of passed appetizers during cocktail hour, a full bar, and a hearty buffet waiting for you. All you need to bring is your appetite & your dancing shoes.

We will have a bus to transport all after-party goers from the wedding venue to Louie Louie's! Louie Louie's is a piano bar in downtown Colorado Springs - Less than a mile from The Mining Exchange!
