Our Wedding

Kristine and Henry's story began in 2017, in the heart of Boston, where they first met as coworkers. One of their first points of connection? Maine. On one ordinary afternoon in the office kitchen, the two got to talking and realized they had both spent summers in Maine growing up. Henry had spent his childhood summers on Isleboro, a tiny island off the coast, while Kristine had made memories on Deer Isle, just across the bay. While they originally met as coworkers, they quickly became real friends and eventually, a romance began! Kristine didn't realize Henry was asking her out on a date one night (oops), and it just so happened to be the very same day she initiated a move to Los Angeles with her then company. With Kristine in LA and Henry in Boston, they found themselves flying back and forth once a month to see if their new relationship could truly "go the distance." Spoiler alert – it did. So, they made a plan to close the gap and moved to Denver, CO, where their love for the outdoors really took off. Skiing, hiking, camping—weekends were always full of adventure. Plus, they found an amazing community of friends who made Denver feel like home. As their relationship grew, so did their wanderlust. They began checking items off their bucket list—Europe, South Africa, and most recently, Japan, and quickly realized how much they loved to travel together. In October 2022, Henry proposed at the top of a mountain, with Kristine’s parents and a couple of curious moose in attendance. With her late grandmother’s ring in hand, it was an easy “yes.” Today, they own a home in South Denver and are excited for their many adventures ahead – especially getting married, and in a state they now call home ♥️

Q + A

Getting to Denver

We recommend flying into Denver International Airport. Most major cities have direct flights into DIA. Upon arrival, you have multiple options for getting into Denver. Guests can choose to Uber/Lyft, rent a car, or take the train directly into the city (about a 40 minute ride from the airport).

Accommodations

We have reserved a hotel block with <a href="https://www.hyatt.com/thompson-hotels/denth-thompson-denver" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Thompson Hotel</a> in downtown Denver. The hotel is about 45 minutes from the venue and is where shuttles will pick up and drop off guests on the wedding day. Located in the heart of Downtown Denver, The&nbsp;Thompson&nbsp;offers a central location and easy access to many local favorites –&nbsp;Dairy Block,&nbsp;Larimer Square,&nbsp;Union Station, and Coors Field. By selecting to stay with The&nbsp;Thompson, guests will receive the discounted rate of $259 (plus tax) along with free wireless access, passes to Denver Zoo, access to Colorado Athletic Club, bottled waters and neighborhood discounts to many of the spots within walking distance of the hotel.&nbsp; Being only a block from Union Station, The&nbsp;Thompson&nbsp;is a great location for those wishing to take the train downtown (<a href="https://www.rtd-denver.com/fastracks/a-line" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Line</a>) from Denver International Airport! This is a super easy and affordable option. Notes: The discount rates are available from Thursday, September 4th – Sunday,&nbsp;September&nbsp;7th. If you would like to arrive early or depart later, please contact our Travel Coordinator (Jessica@EngagedSourcing.com) and reference the “Parker-Curell&nbsp;Wedding”.

Airbnbs

Some of our guests are opting for group Airbnbs. This is a great option! Some of our favorite neighborhoods close to downtown are the Lower Highlands (LoHi), Highlands, Sunnyside, and River North Arts District (RiNo). We live in South Denver which is a beautiful part of the city and a great place to stay as well, though it's a bit further from where shuttles will be picking up guests downtown. Feel free to reach out to Henry or Kristine if you'd like advice on choosing a place or area to stay in.
