Planning notes
- Power. Jared's battery setup can power him outdoors for about a day.
- Shade and weather. He needs shade, and if rain starts to fall he moves with you to your covered backup.
- Cocktail hour too. Most couples add cocktail hour, about 20 full songs an hour on wireless violin. Cocktail hour music.
- Travel. Idledale is in the foothills just west of Denver. A travel fee may apply outside metro Denver, and your quote shows it up front.
