FAQs

Question

When and where is the wedding?

Answer

All of our wedding events (rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception) are at Storm Peak Lodge, called Storm Peak Outfitters on Google. The address is 28081 CO-145, Dolores, CO 81323. Our ceremony starts at 4:30 p.m. June 27, 2025.

Question

How do I get there?

Answer

OUT-OF-STATE GUESTS: We recommend flying into local airports (Durango, Cortez, Montrose) or Albuquerque International Airport in New Mexico. The venue is 1.5 hours from Durango, and you will need to coordinate your own transportation to the lodge. We recommend reserving and coordinating rental cars with your group. Please carpool if possible. The lodge is in a remote area with limited cell phone service and no public transportation. Check routes before you go on maps.cotrip.org. IN-STATE GUESTS: Please plan to carpool as much as possible since parking is limited at the lodge. The address is 28081 CO-145, Dolores, CO 81323. If you have a camper, truck topper or car camping setup, please bring it if you'd like to sleep on-site! More details in the lodging section.

Question

How do I reserve on-site lodging?

Answer

We'd love to have everyone stay at the lodge, but it's an off-grid space and their capacity is limited. There is a lot to coordinate, so please respect reservation deadlines (for the sake of Charlie and Shannon's brains if nothing else lolz). LODGING RESERVATION DEADLINE: Jan. 30 PAYMENT: Please pay Shannon through Venmo at @Shannon-Mullane. If Venmo is not an option, you can text her at 865-851-5792 to find another way to pay. IN THE LODGE: $130 per person Reservations at Storm Peak Lodge are for all three nights (June 25-28) and cost $130 per person. Children under 2 are free. The lodge offers about 50 beds on-site, and Charlie and Shannon will be coordinating those reservations. Guests will need to confirm their reservation with the couple and venmo Shannon by Jan. 30 to secure their spot. More details about the lodge layout and amenities are coming soon. TENT CAMPING: $40 per tent Tent camping is available for the wedding night (June 27) only, unless the couple confirms a different plan with you individually. There are 3-4 group campsites, each large enough for 2-4 tents. It's a 45-acre property, so you can also find a pretty spot you like! Shannon will have to work with the venue to pay for tent camping. Guests will need to venmo Shannon by Jan. 30 to secure their spot. GLAMPING: $250 per wall tent Glamping is available for the wedding night (June 27) only. Each wall tent includes 4-6 twin beds, rugs, camp tables, etc. Shannon will have to work with the venue on wall tents. Guests will need to venmo Shannon by Jan. 30 to secure their spot. CAR CAMPING: Free Car camping is available for all three nights (June 25-28). We should have room for 4-7 truck toppers and small RVs/campers on-site. Parking is limited so please contact Shannon by May 30 to reserve your spot. All other lodging options are off-site. More details are coming soon!

Question

What do I pack?

Answer

Need help with the logistics? Here's a sample packing list for the trip. Beds: Guests at the lodge or other indoor facilities will have bedding provided. For the campers, please bring your own tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, etc. Colorado temperatures in June can drop into the low 40's. Food: The wedding will provide Friday rehearsal dinner, Saturday reception dinner and Sunday brunch, plus very light snacks here and there. Guests are responsible for all other food and beverages. There are two full kitchens on-site at the lodge with refrigerators and food storage. Contact Shannon and Charlie if you are coming in from out of town and need help with coolers or other food storage options. This venue is open to bringing your own personal beverages, including alcohol. Weather: Come prepared for temperatures that range from 40 degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. (Layers are always good!) June weather in the mountains often includes fast-moving rain showers, so come prepared for rain. You might have more sun exposure than you're used to, so bring hats, sunscreen, chapstick and other sun gear. Colorado also has summer wildfires, which normally start later in the summer. The smoke can be irritating to those with asthma or other lung diseases. Activities: You might want to hike, swim, go horseback riding, lay out in the sun or hang out at night next to the bonfire. Pack accordingly! Fancy wear: You'll only want nicer outfits for the rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. Advice: Bring a personal water bottle to help yourself stay hydrated!

Question

What are the elevations in the area?

Answer

Albuquerque Airport: 285 feet above sea level Cortez Airport: 6,191 feet Cortez, city: 6,191 feet Denver Airport: 5,430 feet Dolores, town: 6,936 feet Durango Airport: 6,685 feet Durango, city: 6,512 Montrose Airport: 5,759 feet Rico, town: 8,773 feet Storm Peak Lodge (wedding venue): 8,364 feet Telluride, town: 8,754 feet Worried about altitude sickness? Please consult your doctor before traveling. Here is a comprehensive resource from the CDC about altitude sickness: https://www.cdc.gov/yellow-book/hcp/environmental-hazards-risks/high-altitude-travel-and-altitude-illness.html WARNING: It is easier to become dehydrated in Colorado's semi-arid climate. Bring a water bottle and hydrate frequently! For those consuming alcohol: Alcohol hits faster at higher elevations, so be careful and pace yourself.

Question

Can kids come?

Answer

As much as we'd love to have your kiddo at the wedding, we do have a limited capacity, and we're aiming to have an adults-only event. (We won't have a kids zone, food, games or anything like that.) If you're part of the immediate family, wedding party or traveling in from out of state (or the country), then you do have the option to bring your kids. If you're planning to stay at the lodge with kids, please touch base with Charlie and/or Shannon by Jan. 5.

Question

Do I have a plus one?

Answer

Unfortunately, we could not add plus ones for every guest because of capacity limits. You'll know if you have a plus one if you see it on your invitation or during the RSVP process.
