The Tanaka family has been so generous in offering their beautiful backyard for our garden party wedding. The majority of the festivities will take place outdoors with an incredible view of Pike's Peak. Because this is a family home, we will all need to do our part to treat it with respect! The address is 5912 Mapleton Drive, CO Springs, CO, 80918.

The house is located in a cul-de-sac in a residential area. There is ample street parking available throughout the neighborhood (please be mindful of driveways!). Additional parking can be found at Cottonwood Creek Park located 1 mile from the residence at 7040 Rangewood Drive.

The average low temperature in CO Springs in September is 71 degrees, with an average high of 79 degrees and a 17% chance of rain. More information can be found here: https://wanderlog.com/weather/58207/9/colorado-springs-weather-in-september. In case of rain, we will provide tent coverage and move events partially indoors.

The wedding has a garden party theme, so please come dressed in your best Easter/tea party formal clothes! We recommend wearing flat or stable shoes, as the ceremony will take place in a grassy area atop a hill.

Yes, we would LOVE for you to bring your children and plus ones! We do, however, have a limited amount of space for the wedding and can unfortunately not accommodate a plus one for everyone. Please refer to your RSVP on our site to see if you were offered a plus one. If you plan to bring children, please note this in your RSVP so that we can secure the appropriate amount of seating and food. Thank you!

Our catering is being provided by Picnic Basket Catering and will be a taco bar! The meal will be fully gluten free with dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Our cocktail hour snacks and desserts will be a mixture of items and will include allergy-friendly options. If you have any dietary restrictions or concerns, please let us know - it's a top priority to us that you can safely enjoy our wedding!
