FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

It's semi-formal. So long dresses are encouraged but definitely not required. For boys, think suit and tie or stylish blazer slacks combo. We'll be wearing suits and long dresses and smiles. It'll be at the top of a mountain, so make shoe choices accordingly (i.e. avoid stilletos). You'll have to walk on a grass lawn and on those tricky steel steps common at ski resorts that are known to eat heels.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your kids and Steamboat is a great place for children! But we want this to be your night off too, so Saturday will be adults only. Kids are more than welcome to attend the Friday Welcome dinner and the Sunday morning brunch.

Question

What's the best option for babysitting on Saturday?

Answer

For babysitting services, we've received recomendations for Care.com and https://www.steamboatbabysitting.com/ Hotels in the area also often have services or recommendations on sitters, so if you are staying at the Sheraton or the Steamboat Grand, give them a call. The entire wedding is up on the mountain peak, so it would be unrealistic to go back down to your hotel or lodging periodically throughout the night.

Question

Is there transportation?

Answer

If you stay in or around the Sheraton or Steamboat Grand, you can walk to the gondola for the ceremony and reception and to the Steamboat Grand for the brunch and pool party. The welcome dinner is just a short ride away on the free shuttle which comes regularly. The front desk can help you catch the right one or you can see the map below. We suggest taking the 5:02 or 5:22 from the Gondol Transit Center to make the welcome party.

Question

How long is the Gondola ride?

Answer

The Gondola leaves the Steamboat base and takes us to the mid mountain lodge. That's where everything will happen. It should be about a 10-15 minute ride. Make sure to enjoy the views of the valley!

Question

Are there airport shuttles?

Answer

You need to book shuttles in advance. Contact Alpine Taxi to arrange a shuttle. The area also has Lyft and Uber as well as traditional taxi companies.

Question

What should I wear to Friday's Welcome Party?

Answer

Dress Casual. There will be a beach volleyball court, horseshoes, and a taco bar. There's a playground for the kiddos and it's near the rodeo if you want to check that out. The rodeo trials will be going on Friday and they are free.
