At this point...NOW! If you haven't RSVPed, we've likely been hunting you down. Let us know either way!

As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception. There are a number of great babysitting services in the area:

Telluride Sitters -
Annie's Nannies of Telluride -

Please reach out if you have questions!

Our wedding is at over 10,000 ft and Telluride is at 8,750 ft above sea level. If you haven't been at this altitude before or have had issues in the past, start preparing now!
Recommendations:
- See a doctor before you travel. Many doctors prescribe Diamox (acetazolamide) to help with high altitude challenges, as well as dexamethasone.
- Arrive early to get acclimated. We know this isn't realistic for any folks, in which case ease into festivities when you arrive (e.g. drinking!).
- Ascend gradually - spending a night in Montrose before coming up to Telluride can do wonders in helping your body adjust.
- Hydrate! Drink 2x the amount of water you usually do in the lead up to your trip and during.
- Try to hold off on coffee and alcohol consumption, as possible, so minimize the chances of arriving dehydrated. We know this will be hard!
- Go easy on the exercise. Try not to overexert yourself with hiking and other strenuous activities upon arrival. We're happy to recommend hikes!

The most common symptoms include a headache, feelings of fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and issues sleeping.
More serious symptoms include shortness of breath while at rest, coughing and weakness.
If you experience the serious symptoms, try to get supplemental oxygen and travel to lower elevation as quickly as possible.

Grocery stores and most shops with Telluride branded shirts, etc. sell oxygen canisters.
There are a few oxygen bars in town, including Absolute Oxygen Bar and Revive & Thrive Oxygen Bar & IV Lounge. We can't vouch for either, but know they exist.
Larger oxygen machines can be rented for delivery to where you're staying from Alpine Oxygen.

September in Telluride could be any range of weather...but we're hoping it'll be gorgeous! Think highs during the day in the low 70s/upper 60s, with the temperature dropping to the 40s at night. It could very well rain during the day (or snow), if it does it'll be between 12-4pm (most often).
So please pack layers for all events and activities you plan to partake in during your trip. Better to strip off a layer than to wish you had one!

Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be in a tent. We can't stress enough that the wedding is at a working ranch and closed toed, sturdy shoes are recommended.

No need to pack the tuxedo or other black-tie picks. Suits are encouraged and ties are optional (though Tom will be wearing one!). Longer dresses will help keep you warm during the ceremony and cocktail hour. We recommend everyone brings a layer as it'll get chillier as the night progresses. Your winter puffy is totally fine - we aren't sticklers!

Do not wear stiletto heels. Please, please, do not wear stiletto heels. There are a bunch of grassy/dirt areas that you might have to walk in so wear chunky heels or boots. We really discourage heels of any kind, with the exception of heeled boots. You'll be walking around half a mile to the ceremony site and back, so comfortable shoes are recommended. The ground is uneven and we'll mostly be on grass and dirt...even inside the tent.

Yes! We would love for you to take photos, especially because everyone will be looking their best.
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.

Please call Kate for now - 479-466-8880!
