Wedding
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Fairplay, CO
This wedding is mountain semi-formal. Think of it as a way to dress up, but also to be ready for the unpredictable Colorado weather or a short walk on rocky ground. Should be sunny in the mid 60s on Saturday! Please wear shoes that you can walk on uneven ground with or if heels or dress shoes are your thing, pack those and put them on at the site.
We will give GPS points out to where our ceremony will be, but we are going just past North London Mill on Mosquito Pass. There will be camping chairs available, but this will be a standing ceremony. We will have a champagne toast and cake following the ceremony. Ceremony will be at 2pm. In order to take less cars up to the site, please carpool. If you would like, you can meet at our Airbnb so we can fill up trucks/SUVs to take up the rough roads. We suggest leaving around 1pm if you are in the Fairplay area, it takes about 40 mins to get to the site. There are multiple routes, but the best route is taking Highway 9 to Mosquito Pass Rd. Do not take the shorter routes that Google might suggest. If you are local, bring some camping chairs, beers, whatever you need to hang out with while you wait for the bride and groom to arrive. There will be an area with a cake table set up, please keep camping chairs in that area so they are not in the ceremony pictures.
Reception
4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
500 Front St., Fairplay, CO 80440
Bring some layers! We will be at higher elevation and it will probably get pretty chilly once the sun goes down.
We will have our reception at the Snitching Lady Distillery. It is a whiskey bar with lots of options. Please remember we are at very high altitude and to drink a lot of water. We will have open bar for 3 hours. After that the distillery will stay open, but the booze is on you! 4pm-5pm: We will have a cocktail hour and speeches at this time. 5pm-7pm: There is a pizza food truck behind the distillery open for dinner. You will have a coupon to use for pizza. Salad, wings, and dessert, along with other beverages, will be provided inside the distillery. There will be live music as well. After this we will bop around Fairplay and South Park to some spots we like before heading back to main Airbnb. Everyone is welcome to join us at the Airbnb! It is a large house with a fire pit and lots of space to hang out!

Brunch
9:30 am - 11:30 am
20 Silk Sisters Place, Fairplay, CO 80440
We will provide a small breakfast at the Airbnb including quiche, fruit, something sweet, and most importantly, coffee. We will be spending some quality time with our families after breakfast, but there are lots of activities to do if you are sticking around! For some ideas, see the "things to do" tab on the website. We recommend heading into Breckenridge!
