WATER, WATER, WATER!!! I Cannot express this enough to all of our families traveling from sea level. Please make sure you are always drinking water from the time you land until you leave. Altitude sickness is a real thing and I promise you do not want to deal with what comes along with it. The venue is also in the mountains which means even higher altitude and easier to dehydrate yourself (especially if you are planning on enjoying some adult beverages!!)
Where should I stay?
The best answer is a hotel or Air BnB in Boulder, Colorado. We do plan to go out after the reception on Pearl Street so if you plan to join us I recommend a hotel near Pearl.
Walking distance but a little pricier will be:
-Hotel Boulderado
-St. Julien
Hotels very close for driving/uber:
-Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder
-Residence Inn Boulder Canyon (Sarah's family will be here for the majority)
-Boulder Marriot
Do I get a plus one if not listed on the invitation?
Unfortunately, due to guest capacity we can only have those who are listed on the invite. If you live in the area however we will be going out afterwards on Pearl Street and would love for any and all to join us!
When should I R.S.V.P by?
Please R.S.V.P by October 15th.
When do I arrive?
The ceremony will begin at 4 P.M. so please arrive 15-20 minutes early to get situated.
Will I need warmer attire?
November in Colorado can be tricky!! There is a chance it could be 65, sunny and gorgeous. However, there is also a chance it could be snowing. Ladies- Find the perfect look but I suggest having a warm coat to wear over top as the ceremony will be outside weather permitting. We are about 15 minutes up Boulder Canyon so even if it is warm in Boulder the elevation gain can drop the temp really quick.
Will we be inside or outside?
The answer is both, weather permitting. The plan is for the ceremony to be outside on the lawn. The reception will be both inside and outside. Dinner will be served indoors as well as the dance hall and bar. However, if the weather is nice there will also be an outside bar. The venue sits along side Boulder Creek and has stunning picture opportunities so again makes sure to bring something to keep you warm.
Uber or Lyft'ing after?
Just a warning to everyone planning to uber/Lyft. Again the venue is up in the mountains a small bit and it is the part of the canyon that does not have cell service. Please schedule a pick up ahead of time for when you'd like to be picked up. There is wi-fi you may be able to connect and get a ride through however the venue did warn us it hasn't been the most successful this way. If you are planning on coming out with us after we will probably go to Avanti or Rosetta Hall or license no. 1 so anywhere mid pearl street is a good drop location.
