Our Story

In 2021, as the world was reemerging, we both swiped right. 

Our first date confirmed that our curious minds were humming along at the same frequency. Being locked in a room together is not how most people would choose to spend a first date, but we did, and to date, we have beaten every escape room we’ve tried since then.

As our lives merged together, our compatibility became more apparent. We supported each other’s dreams, held each other in moments of loss, and celebrated the triumph that came along the way. A partner in life, love, and laughter. 

We are ecstatic to celebrate our love story with you all.

Wedding Details

We’ve planned most of your weekend, but don’t worry, you’ll still have some time to explore.

Friday night we’ve reserved the Roger’s Liquid Oasis rooftop with an open bar, and Edgewater Public Market has tons of dinner options for you.

Saturday – The Big Day – starts at 4pm at Dunafon Castle.

Finally, we’ll wrap things up with a laid-back Sunday morning brunch at one of our favorite local parks. Drop by whenever works for you before we all head our separate ways.

Bring the whole family (including well-behaved fur babies) for our farewell brunch. We’ll have yummy bites for people to grab before they head back home. Kids of all sizes are invited to enjoy the playground area or splash in the nearby creek.

Accomodations

Guests can book at the Holiday Inn Denver Lakewood by calling 303-980-9200 and ask to book in the Derosier/Swindler Wedding Block. The block will be released on May 27th, so be sure to book ahead of time.

We will have a complementary shuttle for wedding guests that will take you to the wedding venue (22 minutes), and back to Holiday Inn at the end of the evening if you choose not to drive.

There are several other nearby hotels for those with alternative hotel loyalties, marked on the map below.

Childcare Option

We know that attending a wedding as a parent can take extra planning, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to join us fully.

We’ve partnered with Call Emmy to offer safe, vetted, on-demand childcare for our guests. Whether you prefer care at your hotel or nearby, you can book a trusted sitter directly through their platform.
To make things even easier, we’ve arranged a special discount for our guests; use code: Alex&Sam4Ever for 20% off your booking

We hope this helps you relax and enjoy every moment with us.
