Traveling to Colorado
We highly recommend arriving in Colorado Springs in time for the Welcome Party on Thursday, July 15, 6:30 PM. Arriving two days before the ceremony allows you to settle in, see the sites, and acclimate to the elevation.
Elevation
Garden of the Gods sits at about 6,400 feet above sea level; very different than Long Island! Please keep this in mind during your stay. The most important thing is to HYDRATE and drink responsibly.
A Moment on COVID
***All COVID restrictions in Colorado have been lifted***
As we all adapt to an uncertain time with COVID-19, we are monitoring the news carefully. We are prepared to take every precaution necessary to make our wedding safe for our guests. Our wedding is happening as planned, and we look forward to celebrating with you all!
At this point, we've been advised that a July 2021 wedding in Colorado Springs is safe, and that the resort/hotels we've booked are following all WHO and CDC guidelines and restrictions. Please RSVP and book your accommodations as you normally would. Feel free to check out cancellation policies, which most hotels and airlines are happy to provide in light of current events. If you're booking through Tomflies (Julio Fernandez), he will walk you through the applicable policies.
That being said, the safety of our guests is our utmost priority. Please check our website and national and local public health websites regularly for updates. Please contact us directly with any questions. Thank you for your love, patience, and concern.
To streamline your travel needs, please book your flights and hotel through our brother, Julio Fernandez at Tomflies!!! <3 He is offering complementary travel consultations to help you book the most convenient arrangements for you and your family. THIS IS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST and Tomflies is working with the same rates as Laura and Allen! If you're interested in extending your trip, Julio can also help prepare a custom, organized itinerary :)
