Ceremony Music

After much debate we decided to book a Classical Gutiar player for the Ceremony.

Michael Lancaster is a talented Bagpiper and Gutairist.

He will play before/during/Cocktail hour.

You can check out his music on his website http://bagpipersinternational.com/

Now we have to pick the songs~!

The Lodge at Cathedral Pines, Colorado Springs, CO.

This is the place where I will become Mrs. Bradley Halbert

The main entrance

The huge fireplace that I love.

(Couches would be gone dance floor in front of fireplace)

I love the "Colorado" flair!

The ceremony will be outside amongst the Cathedral Pine trees. It's located in "Black forest park" in Colorado Springs! It's a beautiful drive to the location. You are right across the highway from the air force academy and the beautiful rocky mountains!

There is an outside beautiful bridge with water falls going to a lake where the ceremony will take place.

Option #2 Villa Parker

The gates leading up to the Villa

These pictures don't give it justice!

In the picture above they are going to be adding a vineyard, a garden, parking lot all by March so in time for a June wedding! yay!
The courtyard where the ceremony would take place
Inside ballroom it's windows everywhere you can see the mountains and garden etc!
The girls lounge...plus there is a HUGE bathroom and changing area with Shag carpet!!

The details

12 hour rental time.

You have reign of the entire Villa plus grounds for 12 hours!!

It's way cheaper then Arrowhead ...I'm leaning towards this one!

We have another meeting tomorrow afternoon with my dad and the Villa to discuss options

Option #1 Arrowhead

There are 2 different options with Arrowhead.

1) use the banquet room and have the ceremony on the circle area in the picture above

2) To have the ceremony on the driving range and the reception in the tent. (picture below)

It is absolutely breath taking view there..however the view comes with a price. We are considering doing a Tuesday/Thursday wedding vs. a Saturday wedding because prices are so expensive on Saturdays!

Venue's

Tomorrow afternoon My Fiance, My Mom, and I will be visiting 2 ceremony/reception sites.
