Plan Your Arrival
Shuttle & Parking
We are offering complimentary shuttle transportation to and from Chris Park. This is open to all guests, whether you're local or visiting from out of town. Shuttle space is limited, so please submit your RSVP as soon as possible to reserve a seat! The shuttle will depart from the DoubleTree Durango at 3:30 PM. Guests may return to the DoubleTree Durango or request drop-off at an alternate location. For guests planning to drive, the campsite parking lot can accommodate approximately 40 vehicles.
What to Wear
Attire & Theme
The dress code for our outdoor wedding is upscale dressy casual. Our theme is Wildflowers, so feel free to wear bright, pastel, or floral-inspired outfits, although it's not mandatory. For Women: Consider sundresses, skirts, or blouses. For Men: Think short-sleeve button-down shirts paired with dress shorts or nice khakis/jeans. We recommend comfortable shoes suitable for grass and gravel. Please check the weather forecast during the week of the wedding and bring rain gear or a light jacket, just in case. Remember, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable!
