Question 1

When should I RSVP by?

Accepted Answer

A$AP is best. The earlier we know the better.

Please RSVP by August 20th so we can finalize details with our vendors.

Question 2

Is there anything happening before the wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’ll be hosting a casual Welcome Party on Friday evening for anyone arriving early or staying nearby. Details can be found on the Welcome Party page.

Question 3

Where should I stay?

Accepted Answer

Since our venue is nestled in the mountains about 45 minutes southwest of Denver, there aren’t many traditional hotel options nearby and we actually think the best way to experience the weekend is by gathering a group and renting a cabin!Bailey has plenty of beautiful cabins and vacation rentals, many just 10–20 minutes from the venue. We recommend checking Airbnb or VRBO early if you'd like to stay close and make it a fun mountain weekend.If you prefer a traditional hotel, there are a few options in Bailey as well. We weren’t able to secure a hotel block, so we encourage everyone to book accommodations that work best for them.As you make your plans, feel free to share with us where you’ll be staying! Depending on where guests are located, we may be able to coordinate shuttle options closer to the wedding.

Question 4

What's the best option for transportation?

Accepted Answer

Here’s the company, guests can give them a call and schedule rides ahead of time, or they provide shuttles/vans that will plan routes back to vacation rentals.
