The average July high in Colorado Springs is 84 F. It is a nice, dry heat. It can cool down a bit in the evening, so a light jacket is recommended if you get chilly easily. Also please be aware that afternoon rain showers can be common during the summer months, but often don't last more than an hour. If you are planning to go into the mountains, definitely consider additional layers, as it gets chilly at elevation and the weather is much more unpredictable.

So much! Please check out our things-to-do tab to see recommendations in the area.

Colorado Springs will be closer, however there are far more direct flights into Denver. From Denver Airport, downtown Colorado Springs is about an hour and 20 minute drive. If you are flying in and out of Denver, please ensure you arrive to the airport at least 2 hours early, as it can be a pretty hectic airport.

Yes! Please visit our Travel page for all relevant info. Please note that all hotels listed are right next to each other, and if the hotels don't interest you, there are also a few other hotels in the same area, all within walking distance of each other. The hotels are located about a 25-minute drive away from the venue, but are some of the closest to the venue, while also being very accessible to Colorado Springs. The cutoff date for booking on all hotel blocks is June 26. 2024.

If you plan to fly in/out of Denver, or want to explore the area a bit, we would recommend it. While there is ride-share in Colorado Springs, if you plan to venture into the mountains at all it's not accessible. Additionally, our hotel blocks are about 10 minutes outside of downtown Colorado Springs, so there's not a ton within walking distance. Of course, it is completely up to you!

The ceremony will start at 4, so please plan to arrive at least 20 minutes early to walk up to to ceremony site and be seated (please note water will be provided for the ceremony). Cocktail hour will immediately follow, followed by dinner around 5:45. The reception will end by 10 pm. We will be hosting an after-party at The Shrunken Head Tiki Bar for anyone interested!

The ceremony and reception will both be taking place at Younger Ranch. Please note that the ceremony will be taking place on a hill about a 5-minute gravel walk away from the reception. Guests can choose either to walk up from the parking lot down by the reception area, or park up at the ceremony area (there will be a parking attendant to help with this). After the ceremony, guests will walk/drive down to cocktail hour, taking place adjacent to the barn where the reception will be held.

Yes! Feel free to drive yourself and park at the venue.

Yes! We have shuttle service leaving from the Fairfield Inn & Suites Colorado Springs Air Force Academy, located at 7085 Commerce Center Drive Colorado Springs, Colorado 80919. If you are not staying here or in this area of hotels, PLEASE ensure you get a ride to the right Fairfield Inn, and there is another one located about 10 minutes away. The shuttle will be leaving promptly at 3 pm. It will be picking up guests at the venue following the reception at 10 pm, dropping guests off at the hotel first, and then continuing to downtown Colorado Springs for a drop-off at the after-party for those who want to continue the celebration.

Nope! Dressy casual is fine with us, we just want everyone to be comfortable.

We are so excited to celebrate you all! Unfortunately, with the constraints of our venue, we can only accommodate those specifically invited. Unless a plus one is specified on your invitation, please note that the invitation is for the intended guest only. Additionally, this will be a child-free wedding. However, we are having a casual night-before meetup that children are welcome to! Thank you for understanding.

We will be serving BBQ-style food at our cocktail hour and reception. When you RSVP, you will have the opportunity to include any dietary restrictions to ensure you have the right food options. Additionally, at each seat we will have the buffet options and any relevant info provided (i.e. gluten-free, dairy-free) so that you can feel confident you aren't eating any sneaky ingredients.

Yes! We know our people.

We will be getting together at the barcade Main Event on the night of July 27th (Saturday). This is meant to be a super casual meet-up, so feel free to come and go as you please. They have food, drinks, arcade games, and a bowling alley. Kids are welcome too! We completely understand if you are jet-lagged or taking time to explore Colorado, so there is no pressure to attend, but if you're around we'd love to see you!

We will be posting any updates here. If it is a major update, know we will plan to send an email blast out so you'll be prepared. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us directly and we'll be happy to help in any way we can!
