Rideshares (Uber/Lyft) are easy to take to and from the airport. Shuttle buses will be provided for wedding events, and downtown Golden is filled with walkable food and activities, so a rental car isn't strictly necessary. However, if you plan to explore the area with additional activities—like golfing, hiking, or day trips—we recommend renting a car.
