Question

Do you have a room block reserved?

Answer

Unfortunately, a room block was not an option for us. In order to accommodate all of our guest's various accommodation preferences and budgets, we are encouraging our guests' book at a hotel or AirBnB /VRBO of their choosing with in the Buena Vista area. We have several hotel and other lodging options listed in the Accommodations section of our website. Please note that many of these options require a stay of 2 nights or more and you may not be able to book certain hotel rooms until about 6 months prior to the wedding date. Also keep in mind that September is a popular wedding month for mountain weddings and accommodations will book up quickly.

Question

When should I book my accommodations for this trip?

Answer

We have been told that the accommodations in Buena Vista book up very quickly and we were advised by our coordinator to recommend our guests start looking at booking an AirBnB/VRBO as soon as possible.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

We love all of your children, however we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults only event, with the exception of immediate family members and a select few older minors.

We encourage you to use this evening as a date night or stay a few days for a mini vacation and let the grandparents or babysitters spoil the kiddos at home.
