Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
Our venue has very limited space, so unless otherwise indicated on the wedding invitation or RSVP platform, no. :(
Is there a hotel block?

Can I bring my kids to the wedding?
While we love your little ones, as mentioned above our venue is very limited on space so we ask that you please keep your little ones at home for the celebration.
I don’t live in Colorado, how the heck do I get to Crested Butte?
There’s some options here:
You can fly into Gunnison (about a 45 minute shuttle or drive). There are many shuttle services from the Gunnison airport to Crested Butte. Once in the town of Crested Butte, the public transportation is solid. This is not like Texas public transportation, CB is reliable, clean, and easy to navigate.
Gunnison Bus Schedule Linked here. Crested Butte bus schedule linked here.
Fly into Denver and rent a car. It is a very scenic 4-5 hour drive with lots of gorgeous mountain views and stops along the way. Cottonwood Pass in the summer is breathtaking. Here’s our favorite stops and views along the way.
What’s the weather like?
Highs are usually in the 70s and lows (which are typically at night) can be in the 40s. Colorado is usually pretty sunny but afternoon thunderstorms are not out of the norm. We encourage guests to pack a lightweight rain jacket.
Where should I stay while in Crested Butte?
We are staying at and have a hotel block at The Elevation. This is on Mount Crested Butte and central to everything. If you are wanting to stay In town we recommend Old Town Inn for a more rustic vibe. There are also many AirBnBs and VRBOs on the mountain and in town.
If you are wanting to stay in Gunnison for a cheaper option, our favorite hotel there is the Comfort Inn. Get the room with the Jacuzzi, it won’t disappoint. There is a bus stop for Gunnison to Crested Butte across the street from this hotel. You can still utilize the public transportation while staying in Gunnison. The last bus from CB returning to Gunnison departs at 11:30PM giving plenty of time to return after the welcome party and reception. The full bus schedule is linked HERE.
Do I need to rent a car?
Unless you are driving from Denver, no. Public transportation will get you everywhere you need to go while in Crested Butte. The Crested Butte bus schedule is linked here. A shuttle from the airport to the town of Crested Butte is recommended if you fly into Gunnison. Shuttle company recommendations are Dollys and Alpine Express.
What should I wear? What’s the vibe?
The theme for the wedding is wildflowers so we are encouraging guests to wear bright semi-formal or cocktail attire. Men, suits/sport coat with dress pants. If you’re a lady, here’s what Hailey has sent to her family for the vibe.
The Welcome party is western themed so breakout the cowboy boots.
Who can I talk to if I have more questions that were not answered on this page?
Matthew Hite (214-802-4840) and Cyndi Hollman (713-410-6833) will be taking questions.
Will you be serving alcohol?
Duh. There will be an open bar with beer and wine on Thursday at the Welcome Party and an open bar with liquor, beer and wine at the wedding on Friday.
