Wedding Party

We’re so excited to celebrate with you in the beautiful Colorado foothills! Below are some helpful tips to make getting to our venue as easy as possible. Getting There:The closest airport is Denver International Airport (DEN), located about 45–60 minutes from our venue, depending on traffic. From the airport, you’ll have a few options: Rental Car – This is the easiest and most flexible option, especially if you plan to explore the area.Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) – Available from the airport, though availability can be limited late at night or in the foothills.Shuttle Services – Some private shuttles are available, but typically need to be booked in advance. Getting to the Venue:Our wedding will take place at Chief Hosa Lodge, located just off I-70 about 20 minutes from downtown Golden and 30 minutes from Denver. The drive is scenic and straightforward, but we recommend: Allowing extra time for mountain traffic, especially on weekendsUsing GPS for the most accurate directionsBeing prepared for limited cell service as you get closer Getting Around:We recommend having access to a car during your stay. While rideshares exist, they can be less reliable in the mountains—especially later in the evening.If you plan to celebrate with us and would prefer not to drive, we encourage coordinating rides with other guests or arranging transportation in advance. Where to Stay:Most guests will find convenient accommodations in Golden or the west side of Denver. These areas offer a range of hotels, Airbnbs, and easy access to both the venue and local activities.
