FAQs
Question
How do I get on base?
Answer
Our wedding will be held on the Air Force Academy. Before 5 PM, all guests will be required to show a valid driver's license or military ID to access the base. Late comers will need a military ID or a military sponsor to get on base. Please try to enter the gate no later than 4:30 to allow enough time to get through the gate and to the venue.
Question
Air Force Academy Drug and Alcohol Policy
Answer
Our wedding is being held on a military installation and that comes with a few quirks and regulations. Most importantly, the Air Force Academy has a lower legal limit for alcohol. If you plan on drinking, please have a transportation plan- uber/lyft are allowed to come on base. Also, although marijuana is legal in Colorado, the Air Force Academy is a federal installation and marijuana consumption and possession is illegal. Please DO NOT use or bring any marijuana before or during the event. The gate guards often performs searches using drug dogs and have the authority to arrest and charge offenders.
