OUR STORY
WE GREW UP SKI RACING TOGETHER IN UPSTATE NY AND ALONG THE WAY, OUR PARENTS BECAME BEST FRIENDS.
YEARS LATER, WE STARTED DATING AS ADULTS AND EVENTUALLY BUILT A LIFE OF OUR OWN. OUR LOVE FOR SKIING AND THE MOUNTAINS BROUGHT US TO VAIL, COLORADO. WE HAVE TWO AMAZING KIDS, JACK AND JOSIE, AND AFTER NEARLY SIX YEARS OF BEING ENGAGED, WE'VE DECIDED IT'S TIME TO GET MARRIED.

arriving by air
There are two airports convenient to Vail: Denver International Airport (DEN) and Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE).
DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (DEN)
Denver International Airport is approximately a 2-hour drive from Vail, depending on traffic and weather. All major airlines service DEN. The drive from Denver to Vail is beautiful, so we recommend enjoying the scenery along the way.
EAGLE COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT (EGE)
Eagle County Regional Airport is the closest airport to Vail and is the most convenient option for getting to town.
United and American Airlines service EGE. Summer 2027 flight schedules have not yet been released, so please check back for updated flight information.

getting around vail
A rental car is not necessary if you are staying in Vail Village or Lionshead, where most of the weekend's activities are easily accessible.
We recommend renting a car if you are staying outside of the Village or if you plan to explore other areas of the Vail Valley or surrounding mountains during your visit.
Uber is available in Vail, but service can be limited, so we recommend arranging airport transportation in advance.

preparing for vail: here are a few tips to help you plan for the weekend
Vail sits at over 8,000 feet, so give yourself some time to adjust. Stay hydrated, take it easy when you arrive, and go easy on alcohol. Headaches, fatigue, and shortness of breath can be common during the first day or two.
Mountain weather can change quickly. August days are typically warm and sunny, but evenings can be cool, especially at the top of the mountain.
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and a light jacket.

FREE TOWN VAIL BUS
Vail’s free bus system connects Vail Village, Lionshead, and the surrounding areas. It’s an easy way to get around town without a car.
TAXIS & UBER
Taxis are available throughout Vail, and Uber is also an option, although availability can be limited during busy times.
WEDDING TRANSPORTATION
We will provide private shuttles between the Four Seasons and Gondola One for the wedding.
The closest shuttle drop-off to the gondola is at The Christiania, which is about a 2-minute walk to Gondola One.
Shuttle details and timing will be provided closer to the wedding.
