Farewell Brunch

Please RSVP by June 1, 2025 Nestled in the foothills, at the confluence of the North and South St. Vrain Creeks, Lyons is a small town with big character. Known for its quaint town, stunning mountain views, and eclectic music scene, Lyons was love at first sight for us (that's kind of our thing), and we can't wait to share this special place with all of you!!

Our Wedding

Avery &amp; Kim met in September 2023 through mutual friends who had themselves been best friends since childhood. Avery knew from the first conversation with Kim that she was different. He bought her a drink and lent her his hat (which is a rarity since hats are among his prized possessions), but she was totally oblivious to his suave advances. Intrigued but respecting friendships, Avery played the long game for 5 months in continued pursuit of Kim's attention. Patience was never a talent of his, but for Kim, he stayed locked in and composed. Inspired by love (for those who know him, this is his baseline), Aves decided to make his move on Valentine's Day - his favorite holiday...unfortunately, Kim's least favorite holiday.* Having taken a break from dating, Kim was cautiously interested at best but entirely authentic, transparent, and warm in her response (for those who know her, this is her baseline). Aves wasn't phased, in fact he added this to the growing list of things he admires about her. Competitive in nature, he was also very up for the challenge to prove Kim had nothing to worry about. Once Kim realized everything she was looking for was indeed right in front of her ;) things shifted from puttsing along the bunny hill to flying down a black diamond ... some call that reckless, we call that love.And luckily, we're both pretty good skiers and equally impatient :)

*For those curious readers, Valentine's Day is now one of Kim's favorite holidays!

Wedding Party

Will the ceremony and reception be outdoors?Weather permitting, we are planning to have the ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors. Dinner and dancing will take place inside the barn. What are temps in Lyons, CO expected to be?Best guesses are lows of 60s and highs of 80s+. Colorado is known for its dry summer heat. Even when the temp is high, it's usually more tolerable than other areas due to the lack of humidity. There is also plenty of shade on the venue property and A/C in the barn. Can I bring a plus one or kid(s)? While we wish we could say the more the merrier, we are constrained by limited venue capacity. Our venue is also on a running river and not the most suitable for young kids. Due to this, we ask that you refer to the specified names on your invitation.
