# An anniversary worth the journey.

> Plan an Aspen anniversary trip or vow renewal: the season, the dinner, a private moment in the mountains, a photographer, getting there and what we arrange.

An Aspen anniversary trip needs **one evening that is unmistakably the occasion** and days with nothing to organise. Some couples add a vow renewal: a short ceremony in a setting that matters, sometimes with family. We arrange the dinner, the private moment, the photographer and the car, so the trip is about the two of you.


## What makes it feel like the occasion

- **The evening**: A table worth the date, a [sleigh ride dinner](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-sleigh-ride-dinner/) in winter, or a [private chef](https://aspenprive.com/private-chef-aspen/) at the house. [Romantic Aspen](https://aspenprive.com/romantic-aspen/) has more.
- **A vow renewal**: A short ceremony outdoors or at the residence. A ceremony at [the Maroon Bells](https://aspenprive.com/maroon-bells-wedding/) needs a permit; a renewal has no legal formalities, but the setting's rules still apply.
- **The photographs**: A [photographer](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-photographer/) for an hour at golden light.
- **The rest**: A [spa](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-spas/) afternoon, [massage at home](https://aspenprive.com/in-home-massage-aspen/), and the residence ready on arrival.

## Arrive without the effort

A driver at the airport or the FBO, and no rental car to think about. Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is closed from **April 4 to November 19, 2027** while the runway is rebuilt, private jets included. Summer and fall 2027 groups arrive through Eagle, Rifle or Denver, and the ground plan has to start there: [the 2027 closure guide](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-airport-closure-2027/).


## What we arrange

We request the dinner, the photographer and any ceremony arrangements on your behalf, and arrange transport and the residence. We are not an officiant or a venue; each service is confirmed in writing before booking.


## Questions

**Is Aspen good for an anniversary trip?**  
Yes: dinners in a small town, mountain views and spas in winter or summer. It suits a couple who want both quiet and a memorable evening.

**Can we renew our vows in Aspen?**  
Yes. A vow renewal has no legal formalities, but outdoor settings may need a permit; we confirm the rules for the place you choose.

**Can you arrange a surprise dinner?**  
Yes. Tell us the date and the tone; we request the table or the chef and the car, and keep it discreet.
