Question

How do we get to the wedding?

Answer

Parking is available at the venue, but absolutely NO cars can be left on the premises overnight. Therefore if any alcohol will be consumed, we suggest taking our provided shuttle. We highly encourage you to book your hotel room at the Hilton Denver Inverness, where our shuttles will be picking up and dropping off all guests. Our wedding location is in a rural area in the mountain countryside, and pickup is NOT guaranteed for ride shares like Uber or Lyft at the end of the night. Due to travel time and to ensure ceremony start time, the last shuttle will be leaving at 3PM sharp, so we encourage you to stay Friday evening as early check-ins are not guaranteed. Please note early check-ins are not always available the day of on Saturday. The hotel will be happy to hold your bags and check you in later that evening after the wedding concludes, but again, we highly suggest booking both Friday and Saturday night to ensure check in availability and to ensure you do not miss the shuttle.

Question

Are children welcome at the wedding?

Answer

We want to ensure every guest is able to let loose and celebrate without the responsibility of watching your little ones, so we respectfully ask that children stay home for the evening.

Question

What is the altitude at Spruce Mountain Ranch?

Answer

For those who have never visited Colorado, you will be at altitude throughout your entire stay and we want you to be aware how this can possibly effect your health. The Hotel Denver Inverness is 5,830' elevation and Spruce Mountain Ranch is 7,300' above sea level. Please be advised that this level of altitude can very easily impact your health and we strongly advise you to know the signs and symptoms of altitude sickness, as this can be a very serious condition.

Question

What is altitude sickness?

Answer

Altitude sickness is brought on by rapid increase in elevation and low oxygen levels at these elevations. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, light-headedness, shortness of breath, fatigue, headache, vomiting, and rapid heart rate. Shortness of breath due to altitude can effect and/or exacerbate underlying pulmonary issues, so we ask any guests with issues to please be aware of any symptoms and seek care if necessary. We highly suggest drinking a lot of water during your stay as these symptoms are due to lack of oxygen, and since H20 is full of, you guessed it, oxygen, it will help with the side effects tremendously. We urge you to stay hydrated FAR beyond your normal intake while visiting. Please be aware that consuming alcohol can also effect you differently and more easily at higher altitude. (AKA slow down and drink lots of water!!)

Question
