The Denver Athletic Club 

5.0

Denver, CO
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $11,000

The Denver Athletic Club is a private membership owned club that was established in Denver in 1884. The DAC moved to it’s current location in 1892 and has expanded in the years since to now occupy the entire city block. Second only to it’s namesake amenity (our athletic facilities), the event spaces we have on premises are classic, elegant and charming to any event attendees we host! We do all catering in house and have an amazing Executive Chef that delivers incredible plated dinners and buffets! Our venue rental includes tables, chairs, chinaware, glassware, and access to setup décor, all day. Our Grand Ballroom is breathtaking with elevated ceilings, classic romantic colors, and an elegant tear drop chandelier! Our Rooftop Sundeck, open seasonally, has a permanent awning structure that shades half of the space as well as a stunning view of the Denver city skyline.

We had our wedding (90 people) at the Denver Athletic Club in September 2024 and had the absolute best experience! We were lucky to work with the amazing Brooke for over a year in planning and coordinating our wedding, and we were so grateful for the beautiful ballroom as a backup reception location when the weather decided to do CO weather things. We were still able to have our ceremony and cocktail hour on the roofdeck, which was one of the main reasons we picked the DAC (super cool skyline views). The bowling alley afterparty was also a hit with guests! Another great perk of the DAC is how many spaces there are for getting ready, which made hair and makeup convenient and kept the groom and groomsmen on a different floor until pictures. Food and service were great too, it was nice having catering included so we didn't have to involve and coordinate outside food & bev.

Grand Hyatt is so phenomenal to work with. They accommodate vendors and their needs so well. They are kind and so sweet, and their communication is wonderful. They are very adaptable and flexible. We were recently down a driver and had to reconfigure our entire schedule on a wedding day and they were so helpful. Thank you Grand Hyatt!

Turn back time at 17th by Magnolia, a wedding venue located in Denver, Colorado. This one-of-a-kind art-deco-inspired venue features original 1920s architecture and a stunning glass ceiling. Great for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and more, this downtown space is sure to impress! Our vintage event space includes the use of our chairs and tables as well as setup and breakdown of these items. We allow licensed outside caterers and vendors except for alcohol and bar service, which our skilled bar staff will handle at our stunning built-in bar. If you prefer a one-stop shop, we can also handle catering through Harry's at the Magnolia Hotel Denver, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. The hotel can also offer discounted rates for sleeping rooms and getting-ready rooms for weddings taking place at our venue. For ceremonies, we can flip the room during cocktail hour, we can offer our Magnolia Lounge, or we can offer awards ceremony setup. We look forward to hosting you on your special day!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event at 17th by Magnolia, and as an event planner and designer I could not recommend them enough! The staff was extremely accommodating and available for our every need. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the perfect place for a downtown wedding or event. The open concept and art deco aesthetic provide an elevated feel that will leave your guests in awe!

The Oxford Hotel

Denver, CO
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Select services

  • Starts at $7,000

Infuse your next social or corporate gathering with historic charm and refined service in a luxury downtown setting at The Oxford Hotel. Having hosted more than 125 years’ worth of occasions and celebrations, our event and meeting venues in Denver feature more than 8,000 square feet of space and create the perfect backdrop for events of all kinds. From an intimate elopement to a larger wedding, we are excited to curate memorable events your guests will cherish for years to come.

We planned our wedding at the Oxford in less than six months, and could not have been happier with the entire process. Brittany was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly listened to what we wanted. She was relaxed and calm, but ALWAYS on top of it, and provided us many options as we weighed our priorities. The entire event felt so much like us. Planning and working with Brittany was made easy because she is so organized, and never imposed her own views on us (but gave great advice when we asked). We absolutely loved the accommodations offered to us and to our guests, and the service at the hotel was exemplary - all of the staff are so friendly! There were no hidden or tricky costs, and the food was absolutely phenomenal - people still talk about it over a year later! We found such ease in being able to host all in one spot - many of our guests stayed at the hotel, we held the ceremony and reception there, and transportation was super easy for everyone. Guests enjoyed the cocktail lounge after the reception, and many ate next store at the Urban Farmer for breakfast. It's a special place to go back to now - we loved our wedding and the planning process, and cannot recommend working with Brittany enough!

Denver Botanic Gardens

Important moments call for impressive settings. From traditional to whimsical, rustic to chic, wedding sites at the Gardens are surrounded by botanical splendor and stunning natural backdrops that will ensure your wedding is beautifully unique and utterly unforgettable. Choose the perfect space or combination of spaces for your ceremony, cocktail hour, reception or rehearsal dinner. With more than a dozen rentable spaces, the Gardens offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues for anywhere from 10 to 1,200 guests

My husband and I have been visiting the Botanic Gardens for years and it was the only venue we wanted for our wedding day. The wedding day was everything we had hoped for and many of our guests commented afterward how beautiful it was. We also knew ahead of time that we wanted an intimate wedding and the Woodland Mosaic and Solarium as our location. The weather was fairly warm on our date but our guests didn't feel it because the venue has lots of shade with the solarium and trees. It also felt like a more secluded space, which is something that we wanted. Our wedding date was a very popular Saturday in June, and I believe 5 other weddings were taking place at the same time! Because our location felt so private, we hardly noticed. The only exception being the "golden hour" for photography, where we were taking photos in the Japanese garden and carefully maneuvering around other couples also taking photos. If you want to be the only bride in sight, keep this in mind. We didn't care though. Because we had such a small wedding (40 people), we chose not to have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. I would recommend one for this venue if you have a larger group or if you don't have a lot of helping hands. We had a lot of help from our families on the day of the event - helping set up things like the gifts/card table and brining in liquor in coolers. We also carried out a lot of items ourselves at the end of the night. This isn't a complaint from our end, as we expected to do some of the coordination ourselves. Just keep in mind that if you don't want to have to do anything on your wedding day, be sure to hire someone for that role. Emily was great at coordinating from the Botanic Gardens side. She gave us helpful information when needed, responded quickly, and we also met her about a month in advance to walk through the site, going over details on things like chairs and tables. In addition, you get an hour walkthrough during the day before your event. On the day of, I booked a touch-up room (included in the price). They have a limited catering list and we were happy to use Serendipity Catering for our food, bartenders, service staff, desserts and floral, which made coordinating everything a lot easier! I highly recommend working with Brie and Raven. Another perk of booking this venue is that you can bring in your own alcohol, which can save money. Negatively, it was a bit of work for our families to haul all of this in and out while in formalwear. Depending on which space you book, you are also only able to have acoustic music. We wanted (and hired) a string quartet, so this worked for us. However, if you want to dance the night away with a DJ, you would need to book elsewhere for the reception or book their indoor ballroom. The best surprise for us was a free couples membership for a year to the Botanic Gardens. We are so excited to have the opportunity to spend more time here, enjoying their many event offerings throughout the year. We can't wait to return year after year!

Knoebel Events 

5.0

Denver, CO
  • Up to 180 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

At the heart of the gracious University of Denver campus, Knoebel Events provides the ideal setting for your event. At once, inviting and state of the art, the Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management combines the warm intimacy of Tuscan architecture and handsomely appointed spaces with the convenience of the latest technology. Here, our student staff, led by a team of celebrated hospitality veterans, provides service marked by seamless efficiency and polished professionalism. We have multiple ceremony venues, including an outdoor patio, as well as the beautiful and historic Evans Chapel.

Knoebel Events is a beautiful interior with excellent friendly staff, including a staff member with a lifetime achievement award in events. We loved the interior stone and metal accent plus wine cellar. We'd love to come back and rent the wine cellar for our anniversary. The brick patio was an great cocktail space. We loved that we had an indoor atrium option for that too. There were plenty of bar locations to accommodate our guests. The tasting is not to be missed. It was a great opportunity to get a sense of their style of food. We gravitated to the sauces made with wine- very good. The beef short ribs were top notch so much so we had two helpings! The chef was very easy to work with as we had some special cultural food requests. He spent one on one time with my husband for a taste test of his special request. So speak up and see what they can do to work with you! Pricing worked for our budget! We found it to be one of the most affordable places to have a reception in Denver. Trust me, we research everywhere in Colorado! We wanted a step above an inexpensive church hall / outdoor venue at park but couldn't afford local mansions with caterers wanting a minimum spent, hotels with less character (or you would have to spend money on environmental decor on top of table decor, country/private clubs with required minimums / overpriced food, nor restaurants with limited space and a different vibe. You get beauty, class, style, versatility, a wine cellar, grand staircase, patio, atrium, and excellent service! FYI, there is a service fee in lieu of a tip which in the end worked for us. They were very forthcoming with all pricing. Trixie Farmer and team went above and beyond. They were always so friendly plus cool and calm under pressure. The student workers were very motivated and on top of it. I did not see any lazy workers. These student workers want to be there- hospitality is part of their study and career choice. We had many small details so we were pleased they helped set these up. Trixie took the time to get to know us. She made excellent recommendations and was very open about what we would and would not need while still leaving us the freedom to decide. She checked in with us, gave us tours, and let us do some small mock set ups of our center pieces. She also welcomed us when we arrived from the church ceremony. This is an event center and a school of hospitality so give the event center a little grace as the school year can effect how busy they are- finals week, breaks, etc. Being a former teacher myself, it was easy to understand this dynamic but as a bride I was eager to get the next email communication follow up. These employees know what they are doing so no matter what, it worked out! My only criticism is that due to a booking following our event we cut our reception shorter than we had hoped. We knew this was possible up front but an additional last minute request for 30 min less was a little disappointing. We were compensated- so that was pleasing. Overall you can not go wrong with Knoebel Events and with Trixie Farmer- Lifetime Achievement Award winner!

Balistreri is an awesome family-run business that hosts private events outside of their winery/restaurant hours. We originally fell in love with the gorgeous ballroom, outdoor space, and super tasty chef-created bistro style food. They’re very flexible with outside vendors (though you should definitely cater through them because it’s worth it), upfront with pricing, and you have the whole space to yourself. When covid hit, our wedding plans changed dramatically but Balistreri was communicative, understanding, and compassionate with the logistical and financial uncertainties of 2020. We ended up moving our June wedding to September and were able to host our wedding within the current local covid guidelines (outdoors, less than 30, masks). It was completely gorgeous and our guests had a great time. Plus we finally got married! We’re very grateful to have worked with Lauren, Mattie, and Julie and wish them all the best.
