Our Wedding

Our Story Andrea and Chris met in New York in August 2018 with their first date in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A month later, on a train up to Connecticut, Chris asked Andrea to be his girl and presented a one-way ticket to Costa Rica. Andrea said yes, and her friends were scared. Who is this guy with one-way travel plans, seems sketchy. But that started a wandering, exploring adventure lifestyle that would be and will continue to be a staple of Chris and Andrea's life together. From Costa Rica, France, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Life's short, and the world is large, with lots to see. After a year together, Chris and Andrea moved into a townhouse in Greenwich Village, New York, and absolutely loved that place. The world had other plans in 2020, and they've been rolling with the punches and staying ahead of things. They are currently holed up in their beach bunker in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Chris has been working remotely on his companies, and Andrea has opened up a Tamarindo jewelry store to great success. Love and travel. Let's get weird. Chris &amp; Andrea.

Andrea and Courtney used to play dress-up in the basement, imagining what their weddings would look like.

Courtney is ALSO getting married in 2022 to her amazing fiancé, Dennis!

Wedding Party

Gondola Map

The red stars are the two station stops for the gondola you will be taking to get to the wedding. One is in townside (if you are in our room block at Mountainside Inn you will be using townside), and the other is on mountainside which you would use if you are staying at The Peaks or any of the other luxury hotels on the other side of the mountain.&nbsp;

Q + A

LODGING

Since the wedding is during Spring Break and the height of the High Season, rooms will get booked up far in advance, so we strongly encourage you to book as soon as possible if you choose to not book a room in our room block. When looking for a place to stay, you will notice two sides, the town side (downtown Telluride) and the mountainside. All of the festivities and most of the guests will be staying on the town side. Please double-check which area your hotel or Airbnb is located in before you book! The town is tiny, so anywhere on the town side is extremely walkable and convenient.&nbsp;

We have arranged a room block with this hotel for our guests. With this room block, we are getting 15% off the online rates. These discounted rates are available for booking only until February 8, 2022. After that, the remaining rooms are released to the public, and the discount is void. These are the best rates we've found in Telluride, so we recommend going with a room in our block. There are two room types available. Standard Room - $230/night ---- SOLD OUT1 King Split (can also be configured into 2 twin beds) - Sleeps 2 Kitchenette Room - $265/night1 Queens size bed and 1 Twin Bed plus a kitchenette - Sleeps 3 Each room includes 1 parking space to use. If you would like to book&nbsp;a room at this hotel, email Andrea at <a href="mailto:andrea@zeunstrom.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">andrea@zeunstrom.com</a>, and she can get you set up. Please do not contact the hotel directly. They cannot assist with room block reservations. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mountainside+inn+telluride&amp;sxsrf=ALeKk03q0FamuXSw8ZloMvSidjckImlKjQ:1628120218934&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjN3rO6xJjyAhV2_7sIHQhIDuQQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&amp;biw=1260&amp;bih=663&amp;dpr=2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pictures of Mountainside Inn</a>

Telluride and Mountain Village have many houses and condos of different sizes and price points for rent. This is also a good option if you want to link up with other guests and do a rental together.

AIRPORTS

We recommend booking your flights and lodging with a 24hr buffer in case of bad weather. Colorado is known for its snowstorms in March, and it is best to leave enough time for travel in case there are any delays. Option 1: Fly to Montrose (MTJ) or Grand Junction (GJT) + Shuttle to TellurideThe Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is the primary airport for Telluride and is a scenic 65 miles away. Don't hesitate to contact Telluride Express for a shuttle service to and from Telluride at (970) 728-6000. You can also contact Mountain Limo at (970) 728-9606, but clarify whether you are receiving a shared or private ride, as private rides are more expensive. Grand Junction Airport is farther, but also available for shuttle service to Telluride. Option 2: Fly to Telluride (TEX)It is possible, albeit expensive, to fly commercially into Telluride on United Airlines. From the airport, it is a 10-minute shuttle ride to either downtown Telluride or Mountain Village. Don't hesitate to contact Telluride Express for a shuttle service to and from Telluride at (970) 728-6000. You can also contact Mountain Limo at (970) 728-9606, but clarify whether you are receiving a shared or private ride, as private rides are more expensive. Option 3: Fly to Denver (DIA) + Drive to TellurideIt is possible to fly into Denver, rent a car, and drive to Telluride. In good weather conditions, this is a 7-hour drive one-way and full of mountain roads and passes. Since March is the snowiest month for Telluride, we suggest adding buffer time in bad weather.
