    Wow. Seriously book them now. The venue itself is Romeo and juliet meets wine cellar meets Cinderella, with grand staircase and balconies! The food was literally the best food I've ever had, and my chef husband was floored. The staff was incredible, so helpful and coordinated everything!! They were so communicative and sweet. Of the 80 venues I looked into, this was the most affordable while still being pretty all inclusive. No mtn views, but that's what makes it a perfect choice for colder months when you still want it to be unique and beautiful!!! 10000 stars!

    Fro the day we met with the venue to the end of the night of our wedding, the whole team was amazing to work with! The coordinators were very clear and left nothing for us to question. The on site staff was super friendly and professional! We heard several times throughout the nights from guests that this was the best wedding they had been to and they the venue was amazing. On top of all that, the food was incredible! This is a 5 star event center!

    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!
