No! September-October is peak elk rutting season in Estes Park, CO. During this time male elk become protective of their harems of female elk and exhibit a variety of behaviors, including bugling, tearing up grass, charging at each other, locking antlers, and rubbing on trees to spread their scent.

The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00. Please allow ample time to arrive and get seated as there is construction in Estes Park, Elktoberfest happening that weekend and several people from the city coming to see the fall colors.

Your invitation will indicate how many in your party are invited to the event. :)

The overall theme for the weekend is sophisticated western. For the wedding day we would suggest fall formal but all other times feel free to keep it casual and add some western flare if you desire! The temperatures will be high of 60s in the mountains so a coat or shawl would be nice to have!
