About this venue
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.

Downtown Denver Delight
The Denver Athletic Club was an amazing venue for our wedding day. From the first time we contacted them, their communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful in strategizing the best plan for our event. The venue itself had tons of beautiful, flexible spaces that allowed us plenty of space to get ready, spread out and customize the look and feel exactly how we envisioned. When the forecast called for rain on our wedding day, the staff at the Denver Athletic Club worked seamlessly with us to implement our backup plan, and they were instrumental in ensuring all of the little details were perfectly in place. We are so grateful to the team at the DAC for helping make our special day an unforgettable celebration.
An Elegant, All-Inclusive, & Flexible Venue
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.
