Attire: Snappy Casual At the end of the day, we want our guests to be comfortable! This is certainly not a super formal event. Wear what makes you happy! We do recommend wearing shoes that are comfortable or bringing comfortable shoes to change into after the ceremony because guests have full access to explore the Denver Botanic Gardens after the ceremony.
There will be a two hour break between the ceremony and reception. Use this time to explore the Botanic Gardens or freshen up at the hotel. Cocktails and appetizers will be served at 3:30pm at the Mercury Cafe. The bride and groom will be announced at the reception around 3:45pm. Dinner will begin at 5pm.
Guests are responsible for their own transportation to the ceremony and reception. We recommend using Uber or Lyft instead of driving.
There is parking at the Gardens. However, due to construction there currently is no free parking at the Mercury Café. Again, we recommend taking an Uber or Lyft.
Below is an excellent article detailing how you can conquer Denver's elevation. The article also gives advice on how to pack for Colorado weather! https://www.denver.org/about-denver/denver-resources/high-altitude-tips/
Colorado is all about layering! The climate is dry and the temperature can be very hot in the sun, but it can be chilly in the shade. If you plan on extending your vacation to include visiting surrounding mountain towns, then expect a wide range of temperatures from 80-90 during the day to 40-50 at night.
