It is a reception. Sam & Sandrah will be getting married privately here in Colorado, separate from the reception. While they ask that their wishes for privacy for the ceremony be respected, they are incredibly excited to celebrate their love and union with everyone on October 27th!

The couple is asking that NO GIFTS be purchased, but rather that everyone who would like to contributes to their honeymoon fund. Which can be done here -

The short answer is no. We love children and have a few special kids in our lives we wanted to include in this event. However, we feel given the nature of the event that having a child-free space is the best route of us. Anyone over 12 we can definitely consider including, we just ask that you LET US KNOW IN ADVANCED, please. No offense to you or your children! But this one is for the elders :)

Spooky elegant. Not Halloween. Not horror movies. Think *Morticia Adams*. Elegance, grace, and no pastels.

Our venue isn't the fanciest. We are not the fanciest people... but how many times in adult life to you get to dress up and *feel* fancy??? So please try to dress as formal as you can, but if you need to breach into the realm of cocktail or semi-formal we understand.

Something formal and preferably something red. We're asking all our guests to wear red to contrast the couple, who will be in all black. Please be respectful when choosing your outfit <3

YES! We will have non-alcoholic wine available for our friends and family who would prefer it <3

No, during the reception there will be no liquor, beer or other spirits. This is for two big reasons: One, our venue is a sober space and we want to respect that! While we will be offering wine during diner and toasts, we are not trying to facilitate a Dionysus inspired event. Just a tasteful evening with friends <3 Two, most of our friends and family are sober or very rarely drink. We want our wedding to be an inviting and comfortable place for all of us :) And bonus information: THAT'S WHAT THE AFTER PARTY IS FOR!

Probably!!! We have a beautiful and dedicated circle of trust helping us plan and organize, but closer to the day there will be lots to decorate and arrange. If you'd like to help please feel free to reach out :)

Yes, there are a few :) You can call us the happy couple, life partners, or our personal favorite (because it's dramatic) the betrothed. We prefer terms that reflect our commitment without gender implications. <3

First of all, have you met us? You could never. We are far to dramatic to be upstaged on our big day! But beyond that, you honor us when you show up feeling your best. Do you! All we ask is that you wear red. Otherwise, we can't wait to see what everyone is wearing!!!!!
