Please RSVP by May 1st so we can get an accurate headcount!

Please check your invite for your +1!

Your kids are absolutely welcome and were included in your invitation! If you need to bring kids that we did not account for, please reach out to us! There will be on-site child care available during the reception offered by Hillary’s sister who is a teacher assistant and provides care at the after-school program at a local preschool.

Welcome to Colorado! The weather here can be unpredictable. While it will likely be pretty warm during the day in July (in the 80s), the temperature may drop significantly at night because we are in the mountains. We suggest checking the weather the morning of the event and bringing light layers!

We want everyone to have fun, be stress-free around driving, and be safe! There will be shuttle service between the venue and the Microtel and Woodland Country Lodge on the night of the wedding. The shuttle will pick up from the front doors of the Microtel at 2:45pm and 3:30pm. It will pick up from the venue at 9:30pm and 10:15pm. The Microtel and Woodland Country Lodge are next door to each other. If you are staying elsewhere and need support getting to your hotel after the festivities, we will have the number for a local cab company available the night of the wedding. You can leave your car at the venue and pick it up the next day!

There is plenty of parking at the venue and there will be folks directing you when you arrive. However, we encourage you to use the provided shuttle from the Microtel and Woodland Country Lodge. This will help us cut down on the number of cars and also make sure everyone can have fun and be safe!

There are stairs inside to get between the ceremony area and where cocktail hour will be held. If you can't / don't use stairs, we will use a golf cart to take you from the front of the Inn to the lower level where the ceremony and reception will be.

We encourage you to wear something more fun and exciting than what you wear on a daily basis. However, we do not want your outfit to be a source of stress or a barrier to attending. We invite you to come in a fun dress, a floral linen shirt and chinos, khaki shorts and a short sleeved-button down, a skirt and shirt that you love, etc. You are welcome to come in shorts and a t-shirt if that feels best to you. A floor-length gown or tuxedo would likely be more dressed up than most people in attendance, and if you want to wear something like this, please do! Feel free to reach out if you want to run your outfit by us. And the answer will almost definitely be, "Yes! Please wear that!"

We know that shoes can be really important to an outfit, and can also make or break an evening. All surfaces for the wedding are indoors, paved, or a wooden deck. However, the parking lot and area around the venue (if you choose to take an outdoor break from dancing) are gravel/dirt. As noted above, there are stairs between the cocktail hour and ceremony/reception area, but a golf cart will be available to take folks between the two spaces as needed!

Our wedding ceremony is technically outdoors, but is in a covered location with paved floors. The cocktail hour will be on an uncovered deck. Dinner, dancing, and drinks are indoors.

Using they/them pronouns when requested is a way to show respect and care for the nonbinary and/or genderqueer people in your life. Sebastien uses they/them and he/him (and really appreciates when folks use them interchangeably). There will be many people in attendance who also use they/them pronouns. Make it a habit to introduce yourself with your pronouns and ask people for theirs instead of assuming their pronouns. ("I'm Mo. I use he/him pronouns. What about you?") If you make a mistake, correct yourself briefly and move on. When someone corrects you, thank them and move on, using the correct pronouns. Don't make anyone feel like a burden for having pronouns that you're struggling with, and don't look to them to alleviate any guilt that arises. Express gratitude and learn. We encourage practicing before the event if they/them pronouns are new to you! Here's a short video on using they/them pronouns to help get you started: https://youtu.be/QeA9PwWUdIA

You are under no obligation to come to the wedding. If you do come, we trust that you will leave any shame or judgment at home. We envision this weekend as a celebration of us and our love, as well as all of the people, places, and moments that have shaped us into who we are today. Each of you are a part of that journey. Our wedding is also a window into the beloved community and chosen family that we've built over many years, and we're very excited for folks to meet one another. You're invited to be a part of the celebration and community-building if you are willing and able.
