Casual - Think backyard hang
We’d love for you to join us the evening before the wedding as all of our favorite people—from near and far—get a chance to meet, mingle, and share a meal together. We’re deeply grateful to Eli’s Aunt and Uncle for generously hosting us in their beautiful yard, and to Eli’s mom, Gail, whose warmth, cooking, and care are at the heart of this gathering. Local guests are invited to bring a side dish to contribute. We’ll have lawn games, casual seating, and an open, come-and-go atmosphere throughout the evening. Parking is limited, so we kindly encourage carpooling or biking from downtown if possible. We’re so looking forward to starting the weekend together!
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Cocktail to Semi-Formal
The Ceremony will be hosted outside. Be sure to check the weather and bring layers! Parking & shuttle details will be added to the FAQ page as we get closer.
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Cocktail to Semi-Formal
Our ceremony and reception will both take place in a beautiful field at Darien Ranch Lodge in Marble, Colorado. After the ceremony, guests are welcome to mingle, explore the grounds, enjoy light refreshments, and take in the mountain views while we sneak away for a few photos. Dinner will be served under tents, followed by dancing under the stars to a live band—so come ready to celebrate! What to Bring & Wear: Weather in the mountains can shift quickly, so we recommend checking the forecast and bringing layers to stay comfortable as the evening cools down. The ground will be grassy and uneven in places, so plan your footwear accordingly. Dress code is cocktail to semi-formal, but keep in mind we’ll be outdoors in a mountain meadow—feel free to blend style with comfort. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
