Durango Planners — Common Questions
Do we really need to think about a train?
If your venue sits along the river corridor, yes. The steam locomotive is loud, it runs to a timetable anyone can read, and it passes at the same time whether or not you are exchanging vows. Planners here check the day's departures before they set the ceremony time.
Can we not simply speak over it?
Not for the two or three minutes it takes to pass. Officiants who work this valley pause, let it go by and carry on, and guests generally enjoy it. What does not work is a first look, a reading and a ring exchange scheduled into the same window as the afternoon return.
Which venues are affected?
The ones near the tracks, which includes several of the best-known river properties, and none of the ones up in the hills. Ask the venue directly where the line runs relative to the ceremony site, and ask what time the train passes them rather than what time it leaves town.
Does the railroad affect anything besides noise?
It can. Cinders and dry summers mean fire restrictions along the corridor, which reaches sparklers, candles and fire pits before it reaches anything else. Check the current restriction level with the venue in the same conversation, because it changes through the season.
Is there a good side to it?
There is. A steam train crossing the frame behind a ceremony is a photograph nobody else has, and couples who know the timetable use it deliberately. The difference between a highlight and an interruption is entirely whether you knew it was coming.
