IMPORTANT: RSVP on the website by July 1, 2025.
RSVPs will be required for attendance. Invitees may bring their spouse. All RSVPs will be done online. There are limited spots at the ceremony so only people that have been invited and responded will get tickets to ride the gondola up to the ceremony and be able to join for brunch. If a spouse is attending, they will also need to make sure they have RSVP'd.
While we would love for children to attend the wedding, we are limited in the number of people that can attend. Children, dogs and friends are more than welcome to join the Oktoberfest festivities at 3 PM in Vail Village. There will be kid friendly events for them to enjoy.
