Prior to seeing Lionscrest in person, my top choice was a different venue. After seeing Lionscrest nothing else compared and we looked at 20 venues. It is well maintained, kept up. Lionscrest was so easy to work with, helped develop timelines, includes dishes and linens. The mountain view is amazing. Guest raved about the venue. Staff helped me set up and get ready for the wedding, communication was super easy. We did the venue only option so I could pick catering. It is a family business so no need to worry about turnover of contact staff. Lionscrest goes with the brides vision and keeps the bride in mind. Every wedding is custom to the bride's wishes, it is not cookie cutter! This is the best venue in Colorado and staff are wedding experts. I encourage everyone to look at it, as you will fall in love and this will be the best choice for your wedding. I cant say enough about how amazing Lionscrest is.

We had the most amazing wedding at Brittany Hill. They were nothing but supportive and kind through the entire process. Our coordinator was Megan, who took my very specific vision and brought it to life. I had a zero stress wedding day! Megan was the main gal for the event but the entire staff from start to finish were the best. I would have been so happy with any one of them as our coordinator. We got many compliments on the food and drinks - which is a huge deal for people traveling to our wedding. Thank you Brittany Hill. We won’t be getting married again but if we were to, we’d pick you every time!

Denver Botanic Gardens 

4.0

Denver, CO
  • Up to 1200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $750

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!

We had our wedding reception at Balistreri Vineyards this past October and boy would I do it all over again. Lauren and Mattie are so wonderful to work with they answered my questions countless times again and again in a very timely manner. They responded so quickly which helps when you're communicating with so many people to plan a wedding. The food was amazing as well as the wine. If you're in the market for a gathering of any sort I would highly recommend this venue, They went above and beyond to make our day easy and so special.

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.

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!

Dickens Opera House 

5.0

Longmont, CO
  • Up to 299 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,500

The Dickens Opera House, a venue located in Longmont, Colorado, harbors a rich history and legacy from its beginnings in 1881. William Henry Dickens, who originally built the opera house, obtained the land through his father who was given the land by Ulysses S. Grant. Not only does this land have ties to President Grant, but also to the author Charles Dickens, who was related to William Henry Dickens. While it was renovated a few years ago, the historic roots of this landmark were carefully preserved so that its history could continue to be told and celebrated. Couples now can plan their engagement party, rehearsal dinner, and ceremony is this historic site, weaving their own unique tale within its walls.

Dickens Opera House was an absolute pleasure to work with for the wedding. Their communication style was quick, communicative, and caring - they were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns. The venue itself was even more impressive in person, with lots of natural lighting, wonderful private rooms, a full bar, and an elevator for guests who couldn't or didn't want to use the stairs. They went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly, accommodating our specific food requests and making sure we got exactly what was wanted. I highly recommend Dickens Opera House to any couples looking for a beautiful, versatile wedding venue with a wonderful staff.

2 Penguins Tap and Grill 

5.0

Centennial, CO
  • Up to 600 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

2 Penguins is not your typical wedding location. We are a Taproom and Restaurant providing quality food, service and beverages. We were in the traditional wedding business under the umbrella business, Panache Catering, Inc, for over 30 years and left it because we eventually were worn out by what it had become. In that time we catered thousands of weddings. The expectations among a some groups of wedding families simply became impossible to meet. If you, too, are becoming worn out by what you are finding in the wedding industry you likely have found a great alternative at 2 Penguins.

The staff, especially Dan, the events coordination, was incredibly friendly and willing to work with us for our wedding here. The price is also relatively cost effective, especially if you book on Sundays and get the entire venue!! I would highly recommend this venue if you like the overall vibe of the restaurant.

On top of everything, their vendor suggestions were top tier. Our day would not have been the same without this venue.

The all inclusive packages saved me so much stress and time. I couldn't recommend them enough!!
