What do you mean by "wedding celebration"?
Well, we have been a pretty non-traditional couple and so naturally we picked a bit of a non-traditional approach to our wedding! We initially decide to elope in the Rocky Mountains, but decided we didn't want to get married without the people we love. So think of this as sort of an elopement send off party/celebration!
What's the dress code for the event?
Cocktail! It may be a little toasty, so a nice pair of shorts or a sundress is totally fine. All we ask for is no jeans!
Does the venue have any rules or restrictions?
Yes, the Denver Botanic Gardens have specific visitor guidelines that include but not limited to no smoking, pets, firearms, balloons, or outside plants and flora.

Is the wedding celebration indoors or outdoors?
The event will be outside, though there is covering in the event of rain, and it is largely shaded which may help a bit with temperatures!
What is the parking situation?
While parking does exist, it is limited. We encourage utilizing Uber, Lyft, or a taxi.
Limited free parking is available at the Garden's parking complex between York and Josephine Streets. Our event does not come with reserved spots, all parking is available to all Garden patrons. The complex does fill up on the weekends.
No overnight parking is allowed. No RV parking is allowed and vans should park on the upper level of the complex due to height restrictions. Street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhoods - just make sure to check the parking signs as some areas require a special neighborhood permit to park.
Are there going to be shuttles provided?
No, unfortunately not, but Ubers should be plentiful and inexpensive as the Botanic Gardens are centrally located.
Am I allowed to bring a +1?
Unfortunately not, with the size and space constraints of the event we were not able to extend the invitations to anyone aside from those addressed on the invitation.
Can I bring my children?
No, sorry. As much as we would love to, due to size and space restrictions we just can't accommodate children for our event.
What are the food options?
We are doing a heavy appetizer based thing (think tacos and bbq sliders) as well as small desserts!
Will there be an open bar?
Yep! There will be a selection of beer, wine, and cocktails to choose from!
Can we wander around in the Botanic Gardens?
Absolutely! Although we will have our own private area, you can also feel free to wander around the gardens and tour our favorite place in the city. We strongly encourage it!
Do you have a registry?
We do! We have a link on this site at the top that should get you there!
