Everything you need to know before the mountain
We want this day to feel easy, welcoming, and unforgettable. Below you’ll find the practical pieces — shuttle timing, valet details, mountain attire, altitude notes, accessibility, registry information, and how to reach us with questions.
Come prepared, come comfortable, and come ready to celebrate
Please arrive by 4:00 PM. The ceremony begins at 4:30 PM sharp inside the Starlight Vista Chapel.
Complimentary shuttles depart from Basecamp Lodge Hotel at 3:15 PM. Shuttle service is highly recommended because the venue sits at the end of a private alpine road.
Complimentary valet parking is required for guests who drive. Self-parking is not available so the venue can preserve the mountain views and guest arrival flow.
Uber, Lyft, and standard taxis are not reliable at the peak, and cell service can be spotty. Please use the shuttle or arranged transportation.
Mountain formal. The chapel and lodge are climate-controlled, but cocktail hour and dancing are outdoors. Bring a warm shawl, jacket, or wrap.
Natural slate pathways connect the chapel, lodge, terrace, and restrooms. Block heels, wedges, or dress flats are strongly recommended.
The venue sits at approximately 8,500 feet. Please hydrate throughout the evening and be mindful that alcohol may affect you more quickly at altitude.
Children included on your invitation are warmly welcome. This celebration is centered on love, family, and the future Vivienne and Nathaniel are building together.
We welcome you to share a note in Keepsake Notes. You may leave a written message and, when available, upload a favorite photo or video memory.
Please turn off and put away phones and cameras during the ceremony. The professional photographers will capture the moment so guests can be fully present.
The historic property includes integrated ramps and flat slate pathways connecting the main areas. Guests with mobility needs should note them with their RSVP or question form.
Your presence is the gift. If you wish to honor us with a gesture, registry and honeymoon fund details will be shared here as the day approaches.
Travel and hotels
Out-of-town guests should plan to stay near Basecamp Lodge Hotel or the nearest major town below the Granite Crest Alpine Reserve. The venue is approximately 45 minutes from the nearest major town, and the final ascent is best handled by the wedding shuttle. More lodging details may be added as the wedding day approaches.
Your presence is the gift
Your presence on our day is the greatest gift we could ask for. However, if you wish to honor us with a gesture, we have established a honeymoon registry and cash fund to build our next chapters together.
Registry details coming soon
