Q + A

What's the venue like/what should I expect?

Idaho Springs is about 7,500 ft above sea level. You can expect temps to be a bit cooler than in Golden/Denver. For folks coming from sea level, make sure to drink plenty of water before and during the party! The venue itself is outdoors (ceremony will be fully outside with a tent for the reception). It's equipped with everything we'd need in case of cold or bad weather. There's also a furnished, indoor pavilion on-site with bathrooms and a lounge area.

What is Semi-Formal Attire?

Semi-formal, which is sometimes known as "dressy casual," falls in between cocktail attire and black tie optional. We are generically requesting dressy attire: mid length and knee length dresses, jumpsuits, suit coats, ties, button downs, are all good! Please wear what is comfortable to you and note that our celebration will take place both indoors and outdoors. We also recommend block heels as there is gravel and grass areas at our venue. For those in suits, it means a button up shirt with a suit coat and dress shoes. Neck ties are optional but encouraged. You can view more details and inspiration for semi-formal attire at this link (scroll down fully for both dress/suit recommendations): https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-semi-formal

Are kids invited?

Kids are not invited to the ceremony and reception on Saturday. However they are invited to the Friday welcome party and Sunday brunch! That said, if you have an infant or other special circumstances, get in touch (cell or email at mmahs.fam@gmail.com) and we can definitely work something out :)

I need to change my RSVP response. What should I do?

You should be able to re-submit and edit your RSVP by following the prompts on our RSVP tab. If it is after September 5th, please email mmahs.fam@gmail.com to alert us to your updated response status, meal preferences, etc. so that we may inform our vendors.

What is the shuttle schedule?

You can find detailed shuttle times and information under the 'Shuttle Schedule' tab. Our shuttles can accommodate all wedding guests. However, please try to adhere to the shuttle preferences you indicate on your RSVP.

Can I park near one of the shuttle stops?

Yep! Hotel guests can park for free, and for non-hotel guests there are free and paid options. Golden Hotel Stop: some free street parking might be available near the Golden Hotel, but it can be hard to find a spot. There's a paid, public parking garage that's about a 5-min walk away, located at: 1250 Jackson St, Golden, CO 80401. Holiday Inn Stop: free parking is available on the hotel property. The lot is located at 17140 West Colfax Ave, Golden, CO 80401.

Can I park at the venue?

Yes, but parking at the venue is limited. We encourage folks to take the shuttle if you're able! There is absolutely no overnight parking allowed (the venue made us promise to tell you that), so if you plan to celebrate with drinks, please rely on the shuttle.

Will there be an open bar?

You betcha. And some tasty non-alcoholic options. Cheers!
