Planning Tips

Group Size & Logistics

• Keep it manageable: 6–12 people is the sweet spot for activities, dining, and transportation
• Plan transportation early: DUI enforcement is strict in Colorado, and mountain roads are unforgiving. Don't let anyone drive after drinking.
• Account for altitude: Out-of-state guests will feel the elevation. Start with lower-intensity activities and build up.

Budget Considerations

• Denver weekend: $500–$1,500/person (2 nights, activities, dining, nightlife)
• Mountain weekend: $800–$2,500/person (2–3 nights, resort/lodge, activities)
• Luxury experience: $2,000–$5,000/person (spa resort, guided adventures, fine dining)

Accommodations

• Denver: RiNo Airbnbs, downtown hotels, The Crawford Hotel (Union Station)
• Mountains: Vrbo mountain homes (great for groups), resort lodges, boutique hotels

Getting Around Safely

This is the practical reality that every bachelor/bachelorette group needs to hear: Colorado takes DUI seriously, mountain roads are dangerous after drinking, and rideshare availability outside Denver is limited. Professional transportation isn't a luxury for these weekends — it's a necessity.

Their luxury Sprinter vans are perfect for groups of 8–14, with the kind of upscale experience that matches the celebration's energy. The crew arrives together, celebrates together, and gets home safely together.
