Below, you will find a curated and bespoke list of answers to all of your burning questions. You'll not only learn about all aspects of the wedding, but also what career you will have in the future, whether or not you should wear white after Labor Day, and how much wood a woodchuck could actually chuck.
-
What time does the ceremony start?
4pm sharp. That's 4:00pm MST, not 4:05pm and definitely not 4:15pm. We believe in you! Just plan on arriving by 3:30pm, then you should be there on time without a problem! Unless you're constantly running a half hour behind, in which case, plan on being there at 3! Or, hey, why not beat the crowds and just camp out the night before, like it's Black Friday!
-
Where are the ceremony and reception?
They are both at Baldoria on the Water
Here's a link to the Google Map for Baldoria.
Here's a link to the Waze Map if you prefer.
Here's the address if you'd rather use your own dang map: 146 Van Gordon St. Lakewood, CO 80228
And here's the phone number: (303) 507-3554. -
Where do we park?
There is plenty of parking space around Baldoria. And hey, it's free too! Now you can tip the bartender!
-
What time should I get there?
All the cool kids will be there at 3:30, so you should show up at 3:45. Hahaha! Zing!
But seriously, please be there in time for the ceremony that starts at 4:00pm sharp. If you plan on showing up by 3:30pm then you should have plenty of time. Please arrive on time. We aren't waiting. Seriously. -
Will there be assigned seating?
Yes!
I know, I know, you don't want to sit next to your mortal enemy; but don't worry, Dave will be at the sweetheart table most of the night. -
May I bring my kids to the wedding?
They should be on your invite already! Unless you just had 'em, in which case, Mozel Tov! And if you can still make it, we would love to have you and your new addition(s)! Please contact us as soon as possible!
-
How do I RSVP?
RSVP by 9/9/2020, online, right here. Easy and breezy. Lemon AND squeezy.
Or, you can just mail us the RSVP card included in your invitation. Also eazy. Comparably less breezy though.
Or, heck, do BOTH! Extra credit for you! -
Ummmmm, I can't find my name in the RSVP?
If you've received an invite and your name isn't in the RSVP, please contact us immediately.
-
May I bring a plus-one?
If the RSVP shows that you can have one, then definitely! Otherwise, well, probably not. But if you've just found someone amazing who you'd like to share with everyone else, then please contact us.
-
How do I choose my meal? I'd like the filet; medium rare with a side of asparagus, please.
You n' me both, buddy. The food will be served buffet-style: with two lines flowing around the center buffet table, so we can get food in your belly, ASAP.
Filet ain't on the menu, but there will be plenty of delicious options (including options for those with food allergies) so no one will be left hungry. -
What is the closest airport?
Denver International Airport (DIA).
-
Will there be transport to and from the hotel?
Well, assuming you book a room at the Home 2 Suites as we suggested on the Travel page, then the hotel is in walking distance from the venue—only about a block away! But if you catch me at the right time, I'll take you piggy back down there. How will you know when the "right time" is? Oh, ha, you'll know. You'll know.
-
May I take the centerpiece from my table home as a souvenir?
Yes, you may!
-
Are the ceremony and reception wheelchair accessible?
You betcha.
-
Should I bring a gift or not?
Well, you shouldn't feel obligated to bring one. We'll be very pleased just to have you there, dancing like a maniac.
... but hey, if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, then visit our registry here. We are looking for support for our honeymoon in 2021. -
What is the dress code?
Dressy casual. That basically means business-casual but cooler and classier; essentially, just wear what you would wear to attend a nice dinner party with friends. Whatever you wear, make sure it's a cut above your normal day-to-day attire, while still comfortable enough that you can imagine dancing the Macarena in it. Over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over again.
Guys, jeans are okay so long as they are clean and pressed. Shorts and t-shirts aren't. It might be "casual", but it isn't lazy-Sunday-binging-Netflix casual. Leave the sweatpants, the shorts, the bathrobe, the t-shirt, and the pajama-onesie at home. At the same time, there's no need for tuxes, tophats, or monocles; but DO wear a button-up shirt, or a nice polo, coupled with slacks, trousers, or nice jeans. Class it up with a sportcoat, or throw on a vest. And hey, even though you don't NEED to wear a tie, we ain't gonna tell you not to.
Ladies, no need to wear heels tonight, and no need to wear something formal enough that you could walk straight from our wedding and into an episode of The Crown. Pant suits and dresses are generally the order of the day, although you have some solid flexibility within this dress code. Check out the links below, for some better insight.
Here are a few links to help you sort out the dress code:

I'd like to wear something complementary to your colors. So, uh, what are they anyway?
Our colors are royal purple, black, and red. I recently learned there are even different shades of black, so don't beat yourself against a wall trying to match those colors exactly, we like you fine the way you are.
-
Are you having an "unplugged" wedding?
Well, we DO ask that you silence your phones during the ceremony—and please keep your phones silent for any of the speeches throughout the night—but other than that, go crazy!
-
May I take pictures and post them on social media?
Sure! Just make sure to shoot me from the left side, looking down. You brought a ring light, didn't you? And Photoshop? And a portable green screen? I'd like to be inserted into a scene from Aliens.
-
Will there be an open bar?
Yes. Well, at least until we run out of what we've invested, at which point it becomes a cash bar. But you'll have to put quite a hurt on that bar in order to burn through what's in there. No, that's not a challenge. No, you can't bring a camelbak and fill it up.
Now that I think about it, the fact that you scrolled all the way down here just to find out about the bar makes me a little nervous. -
