Keeping in mind this is prime Back-2-School season here in the Rocky Mountain region with multiple larger schools in the area (CU in Boulder, CSU in Ft. Collins, UNC in Greeley as well as the Denver Campuses like DU and the Metro/CU Denver Complex) as well as a high travel season in August, hotel rates are prime [many apologies from the bride and groom for this].

In an effort to help deter costs as much as possible, there are a few options for you below. Please do not feel obligated to use these but keep in mind we are working around these locations for the celebrations.

There are options both by the Wedding Venue which will host both the Ceremony & the Reception and the After-Party venue, Bounce Empire. If you do not plan to partake in the after-party events, you may consider staying at the hotel block near the wedding venue.

If you plan to do the ticketed after-party festivities, please note this is a 45 minute drive from the wedding venue itself. There is also a wedding block available closer to this venue if you prefer to be up near the after party. Transportation will be available in limited supply from the wedding venue to the after party venue with your purchase of entry to the after party. It's good to note that we will not provide transportation to/from this second hotel block at this time; I will update this if that changes.
