Semi-formal, but it'll be a pretty casual wedding, so don't stress. Keep in mind that the ceremony will be outdoors (and possibly dinner) and the weather in mid-October in the foothills can vary greatly.
There will be a lot of walking on grass, so stilettos and other small heels are not recommended.
After the ceremony, enjoy drinks, apps, and lawn games during cocktail hour.
Weather permitting, we'll have dinner outside on the lawn. Dinner will be a taco bar, including a vegetarian option, and sides.
There will be an open bar with beer and seltzer options, margaritas, and a variety of non-alcoholic drinks.
Once the sun goes down, we'll move the party indoors to the barn where there will be live music, games, and we'll try to play the beginning of the Buffs game (kickoff is 8:15pm).
For those who want to stay the night in Lyons after the wedding, we're going to be staying at the Stone Mountain Lodge. We will provide group transportation between the lodge and the festivities.
Their rooms and cabins are very basic and rustic, so if you're looking to stay somewhere with more flair and luxury, we'd recommend exploring Boulder or Estes Park for other options.
Spirit Hound Distillers Tasting Room
4196 Ute Hwy, Lyons, CO
9:30pm–midnight
If you want to keep the party going, we'll be having an after party at the Spirit Hound Distillers Tasting Room in Lyons.
Transportation will be provided to the after party from the Lyons Farmette, as well as from the after party to the Stone Mountain Lodge.
We'll have late night food at the after party.
For those staying at Stone Mountain Lodge, a Green Rides shuttle will depart from the lodge parking lot at 2:45pm to take guests to the Lyons Farmette.
After the reception, starting at 9:30pm, we will have a large van that will loop for 3 hours between the wedding venue, Stone Mountain Lodge, and the after party at Spirit Hound Distillers. All of these locations are close to each other, so you shouldn't ever have to wait long for the van. You're welcome to leave the after party and take the van to the lodge whenever you're ready to leave the after party.
Note that Ubers and Lyfts are not typically available in Lyons late at night. Any cars left in the Lyons Farmette parking lot must be picked up by 9am the next day.
Having our friends and families together to celebrate our special day is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we're lucky to have many of the things we need already. No gifts are expected or necessary, but if you would like to celebrate us with a gift, we have created a future adventure fund. We will put contributions toward our home projects and future adventures.
Yes! We are delighted for your kiddos to join the party; just be sure to let us know they're coming when you RSVP.
If you are bringing young children, please note that our venue requires children to be under close supervision due to dangers associated with the creek, farm animals, farm equipment, and other aspects of the property.
Additionally, if you have children with you and need a break from the excitement of the party or a quiet place to nurse, there is a small getting ready cottage available that you can use; just ask anyone in the wedding party and they can show you the way.
We will be providing group transportation, suited for those staying at the Stone Mountain Lodge:
If you won't be using the group transportation or if you're not staying at the Stone Mountain Lodge, there is plenty of parking available at the venue.
Note that Ubers and Lyfts are not typically available in Lyons late at night. Any cars left in the Lyons Farmette parking lot must be picked up by 9am the next day.
Submit the RSVP form by September 7, 2024. RSVPing on time will help us a lot when it comes to having an accurate count for our venue and caterers.
Semi-formal, but it'll be a pretty casual wedding so don't stress. Keep in mind that the weather in mid-October in the foothills can vary greatly. The ceremony will be outdoors, and if the weather is nice enough, dinner will also be outdoors, so take that into consideration as you plan your attire.
Kind of. Technically, our marriage is only recognized by the state of Colorado. This time we'll be doing the real deal, federal recognition and all.
Please arrive and find a seat on either side of the aisle by 3pm for the ceremony.
There will be a Buffs home football game on the same day in Boulder, so take that into account when planning your drive to Lyons. While kickoff isn't until 8:15pm, traffic within Boulder on game days can begin early and cause significant delays. You might want to consider routes that avoid going through Boulder, both on your way there and definitely on your way home.
