Getting Here

Travel

Two airports work. Colorado Springs is closer; Denver is bigger and usually cheaper.

Colorado Springs Airport terminal building

Closer · Smaller

Colorado Springs Airport (COS)

~20 minutes from Manitou Springs (~15 miles).

Fewer direct flights, but you'll be at the venue in half an hour.

Bigger · More options

Denver International (DEN)

~1 hour 30 minutes from Manitou Springs (~85 miles south on I-25).

Generally cheaper fares and more direct flights. Shuttle services like Groome Transportation run between DEN and Colorado Springs.

Rental Cars

We strongly recommend renting a car — most of the fun stuff to do around Colorado Springs is spread out, and rideshare coverage outside the city center can be thin. All major rental companies (Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, National, Alamo) operate at both airports.

  • COS: Counters are on the lower level of the terminal; cars are a short walk away.
  • DEN: Rental cars are at a consolidated facility — a short shuttle ride from baggage claim.
  • 4WD/AWD: Not required for the wedding, but nice to have if you plan to drive up Pikes Peak or head to the mountains.
  • Tip: Book early — April is shoulder season but ski-weekend pricing can still hit on Fridays.

Wedding-Day Transportation

We'll be providing an Uber group code for getting to and from the venue on the day of the wedding so no one has to worry about driving. The code will be shared here closer to the date and again the week of the wedding.

Code: coming soon
