More Information from Santa Fe

Hey All,

Just a couple of quick notes:

Firstly, please note that on Friday from 5pm - 8pm the museums in downtown Santa Fe open their doors to the public. Santa Fe museums normally range from $10-$15 for admission each so we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to visit them free of charge.

Secondly, please be warned that Santa Fe is at the elevation of roughly 5,000 ft. In keeping, the altitude can have a dramatic effect on visitors, especially in regards to tolerance for alcohol. Please be advised that this will be amplified at Hyde Park Lodge, which is over 8,500 ft; make sure you drink more water than normal when drinking alcohol.

Best,
Sheila and Mike

4 Days Left!

Just a couple of updates:

We just found out that the cell phone reception at Hyde Park Lodge is very limited. That means if you miss the motor coach, you won't get able to get in contact with us at the venue. If you plan to take the motor coach, please plan to get there at least ten minutes early to avoid any problems.

So far, the weather has been perfect (warm during the day, a little cooler at night), and it looks like it will hold for the wedding weekend. Please note that the temperature at Hyde Park Lodge tends to be about 7 degrees cooler than that of downtown Santa Fe (it is about 3,800 feet higher in elevation).

See you all soon!

And We're Off!

Work completed, boarding passes printed, bags packed. OK, let's go get married! After months of planning, we are finally heading out to Santa Fe. We can't wait to see everybody there!

Best,
Sheila and Mike

Warm Days, Cool Nights...

Hey All,

We are 6 days away from traveling to Santa Fe, and only 13 days from our wedding. We now have a pretty good idea of what type of weather to expect:

In Santa Fe itself, it should be between 75-83 degrees by day and 50-60 at night. The days will be dry and it looks like it won't rain.

At Hyde Park Lodge, we can expect it to be anywhere from 5-8 degrees cooler at all points. We expect it to be about 73 degrees on our wedding day, but down to 50 or so by night.

Please note that both locations are at high elevations. Santa Fe is about 5,000ft, while Hyde Park Lodge sits at 8,500ft. As such, please be mindful of how this might effect you as a traveler.

More Info Coming Soon,

Wedding Attire

Hello all,
If you are wondering about attire for the wedding, we suggest semi-formal or formal -- whichever makes you more comfortable. It might get chilly outside the night of the wedding (Hyde Park Lodge is at 8,500 feet), so come prepared for that. If you have any questions, let us know!
