The Welcome

Kissy + Fi's House
Please join us at Kristen and Peter’s (Helen’s folks’) home in Carbondale for backyard drinks, lawn games, good music, and plenty of fun as we kick off the celebration!

A few notes:
• Street parking is available but limited. We suggest car pooling or walking from the Old Thompson Barn parking lot or the Homestead parking lot in RVR.
• We’ll be outdoors for most of the evening — it will get chilly so bring a layer or two!
THE WEDDING

The wedding will take place at a rustic ranch nestled in the Ragged Mountains, close to where we got engaged and often backcountry ski.
Attire: Mountain Formal. Dress to impress, but please note you’ll be walking along a grassy path for a few minutes, and it can get chilly in the evening—layers encouraged.
The venue is not accessible by car, so please sit back and enjoy the ride! We’ll be providing transportation for the stunning 45-minute commute along the Crystal River.

Vacation Rentals
Carbondale is a small mountain town with limited places to stay, but we definitely recommend staying here! Our hope is to bump into you around town throughout the week, on the trails, at a coffee shop, or just wandering Main Street. It’s totally walkable, full of charm, and surrounded by incredible views.
If you’re coming with friends, consider grabbing a big Airbnb together. Solo travelers might enjoy one of the local hotels, and families can find great VRBO options nearby. We hope you’ll turn our wedding weekend into a mini vacation — this area is truly special, and we can’t wait to share it with you all!
