About this venue

Boettcher Mansion, a venue located in Golden, Colorado, sits on 110 acres of land on Lookout Mountain. This historic home dates back to the year 1917.

Facilities and Capacity
The Boettcher Mansion can accommodate up to 150 of your friends and family. In this charming mansion, couples will be able to enjoy the meticulously designed architectural features such as the cathedral-beamed living room. There are both indoor and uncovered outdoor options available on property for you to host your wedding ceremony and reception. While many couples choose to enjoy their ceremony outdoors, you are more than welcome to host your wedding inside the mansion. Other options include the Carriage House as well as the Gazebo. After your wedding, you and your guests can enjoy a relaxing and intimate cocktail hour in the garden.

Services Offered
At the Boettcher Mansion, the team applies their same attention to detail and care to the services that they offer each couple on their wedding day. Couples can use the mansion as their site for not only their ceremony, but also their bridal shower and engagement party. Couples can also plan commitment ceremonies or even vow renewals here at the mansion too. If you would like assistance with planning your special day, the team can provide you with event planning and set up. They can also help you out with event rentals and provide you with many decorations to use during your ceremony and reception such as:

  • Tables and Chairs
  • Altar/ arches
  • Audio equipment (for additional fee)
  • Dance floor
  • Furniture
  • Lighting (for additional Fee)

History
Fisher and Fisher, at the request of Charles Boettcher, built this summer home in 1917. In the 1970s, this home was graciously donated to the county, and five years later began hosting couples on their wedding day. Following that, in the years 2005-2007, and again in 2022-2024 the mansion was renovated with modern amenities. However, its historic authenticity was preserved and it now proudly stands as a premier historic venue offering couples a unique setting in which to exchange their vows.

Fairytale Venue!

The Boettcher Mansion is a fairytale venue! It is absolutely gorgeous inside, but the outdoor space is what really sold us. When my husband and I got married in June the flowers were in full bloom, and we were surrounded by butterflies. The mansion is in a pine forest and has fantastic mountain views (the lookout in the photo is just across the street). We really wanted our wedding to feel like a mountain, wildflower fantasy and Boettcher was perfect! All the staff at Boettcher are amazing! We primarily worked with Dana and Shea, who were both incredibly well organized and helpful throughout the planning process. Overall, Boettcher was our dream venue, and I would highly recommend it!

Perfect mountain venue!

Boettcher Mansion was a dream come true venue for us! We got married on a Friday in September and it could not have been more perfect. It checked basically every box - cozy, woodsy, romantic ... a little bit of a fairy tale! They did some upgrades after we booked that really brightened up the place - redoing the floors, painting the lobby a gorgeous blue. Shea, the venue coordinator, was incredibly helpful and kind; she was so responsive to every question we had over the year of planning - and there were a LOT of questions... thanks Shea!! We added on the gazebo and the indoor and outdoor lighting package ... it did make it more expensive, but getting married on a Friday counteracted some of that added cost and the lighting was beautifully done, it added a soft, cozy glow to the evening. The main room and patio fit our 102 guests comfortably for the ceremony and reception. The dressing rooms were lovely and well-equipped, and everything flowed really seamlessly from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. It was honestly a dream venue and we couldn't be happier we chose it! If you're looking for a gorgeous Colorado mountain venue with phenomenal staff - and prices definitely lower than some other ritzy mountain venues - this is the venue for you!

Gorgeous Wedding Venue in the Mountains by Golden

We had our wedding at the gorgeous Boettcher Mansion in July 2022. It's a truly magical place to host a wedding, from the beautiful craftsman decorating style inside to the breathtaking views outside. We had a 105 person wedding and we could have fit more people if needed, but that number felt perfect for our day. Working with Shea for the logistics leading up to the wedding and Laura the day of the wedding, we knew that we were in good hands. They answered any questions we had and were so accommodating as we had to change our date twice thanks to Covid. If you're looking for a fantastic venue for your wedding, definitely choose Boettcher Mansion.

Magical venue even with rain

I'm the rare Colorado bride who got rain on her summer wedding day and it lasted long enough (hours) to change the venue from outdoor to indoor. The planner put a bunch of floating cylinder candles on the fireplace and the arch flowers were placed on the wooden benches. This actually increased the intimacy and the ceremony (along with our incredible officiant) exceeded even better than the outdoor option as the warmth and love was intense from the indoor setting. Everyone said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. We also had an instrumental band in the piano room.

Boettcher is the perfect setting and I would recommend the venue with the following advice:
-We paid $9500 with taxes for a full day rental so it adds up quick from the $5800 venue fee. The venue is worth it, IMO, but you should be aware of where the price ends up after all the add ons. This is partly because you must rent the lights for $1000 and also the adjacent spaces (gazebo, etc) to prevent people from coming on the grounds
-We had a disagreement with the venue on start time and rehearsal as they tightly book other events and even tours the day of your full day rental. This isn't common for that amount of money. We had a 1:00 setup time and it was tough getting them to do a 12:00 setup time but we were happy they finally agreed to this. Notably other full day rentals give you the full day starting at 8 am if needed
-I would recommend (2) hair and (2) makeup persons to pull off a full day as they limit yourself setup time to 3 hours. It would be tough to have this done in a salon and then go to the venue as it's located at least 45 mins from Denver or Boulder, although going to a salon is possible. If you do the hair and makeup on site, you'll need two of each if your bridal party is bigger than 3 people bc the bride takes an hour
-For some reason, the cake was served in the entry area rather than the reception hall. That meant we ended up with nobody in our reception area despite paying for a live band and technically ended up without a reception as people mingled in a small space instead. This was an oversight by the caterer as they did not break down the dinner tables but having venue staff that can help maximize the use of the venue would have been a nice backup for this oversight as they know the space best. I imagine every wedding at Boettcher has a reception in the reception hall so this should have appeared out of place for venue staff as a backup as we used a recommended caterer. This happened so fast we didn't realize everyone was eating cake in the entry area until it was already done. They also didn't get to see us cut our cake. We were confused as to why nobody was in the reception area and the band was playing to an empty room.

Overall, we do recommend Boettcher and if I could do it all again, it's the one and only place for me. We had 70 people fly in and the proximity, views, romantic setting, indoor/outdoor spaces are unparalleled. Megan was also very helpful to us and very professional.

Perfect start to finish

Wow! Shea and her team were amazing. They responded and answered all of my questions quickly. They helped me reschedule my wedding after having to postpone for Covid. They were always kind, professional, and helpful. Additionally, the venue is absolutely beautiful. Our guests are still telling us how much they loved it. The getting ready rooms were comfortable and spacious. The ceremony on the patio was gorgeous (especially with the lights up). We decided to have half of our guests seated outside for the reception and the spacing was perfect. If I had to do the whole thing over again, I would absolutely go to Boettcher again.

Mansion for the win!

The Boettcher Mansion was a complete and total wedding saver! We had everything planned and ready to go on our wedding, despite all of the challenges of Covid, until two months prior to our date the venue cancelled on us! We reached out to Boettcher as we had really liked them when we were first checking out venues, but our plans were very different and the only thing they didn’t have that we wanted was lodging for our guests. With the restrictions and changes that were being put in place, our plans changed and we were scrambling to figure it all out. When we reached out to Boettcher, we got a quick response from Shea and found out that our date was shockingly still available! The process was smooth and the staff was very helpful and accommodating as we made all of the pivots and changes to things that we had planned. By the time our date rolled around, it felt like this was the plan all along. Kimberly was our day of contact and she did an AMAZING job with helping the day go off without issue. Our pictures were beautiful, our guests were happy, and we can’t even imagine our special day taking place anywhere else. It all felt so meant to be that we couldn’t have been happier with it all. Thank you to the incredible work of the staff at Boettcher Mansion for all that you did to help our dreams come true.

Perfect wedding venue

I had such a wonderful experience with my wedding at Boettcher Mansion. We had about 170 people attend which was cozy for an late October wedding but it worked out great! It also had snowed leading up to the wedding but they had all the paths shoveled and clear for the big day.
The day of coordinators provided by Boettcher were wonderful and super helpful.
The venue is so naturally beautiful that our pictures turned out amazing!
I would definitely recommend this venue to all of my friends :)

Above and Beyond!

My husband and I were married at Boettcher Mansion this past January (01/11/20) and we had an absolutely beautiful wedding in great part due to the wonderful staff at Boettcher who were extremely helpful from start to finish. They connected us with great vendors, were very responsive when we had any questions, and overall were just very kind and accommodating to ensure that our wedding and reception went as planned. Beautiful setting and wonderful staff! Highly recommend!

Mountains view and a Beautiful Venue too

We loved Boettcher mansion! We paid for the entire venue to ourselves which was perfect! My only reservation was paying $1000.00 to have them put their own lights up. That seemed like a lot but I would say you just go for it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
