Fairy tale wedding venue

We had a blast! our wedding was such a dream, we had our micro-ceremony in the Water Garden Gazebo and it was magical. Russ, the venue sales representative, was so supportive and kind. He answered every single question I had and was patient and flexible, offering us great options to make the most out of our day. Thank you to Denver Botanic Gardens for this wonderful experience.

Perfectly romantic spot!

I had my wedding ceremony in the Water Garden Gazebo. We (bride, groom, & guests) loved it! It was a lovely location- a straight walk from the visitor center and touch up room. It was easy to spot and covered so that if it had rained, we would have been protected from the rain! We worked with the Botanic Gardens event planning team to secure our venue at the Water Garden Gazebo, which was very easy to do. We really appreciated the prompt responses to our emails and the thorough details provided to us by the event planning team as we planned our wedding from across the country! The Botanic Gardens was the perfect choice for a venue- the backdrop of our ceremony was lovely and our guests were able to enjoy the gardens while the bride and groom took their wedding portraits. It was a win-win for everyone!!

Magical Time at the Gardens

We had another venue, but weren't very convinced. We remember seeing weddings at the Denver Botanic Gardens when we visited last year, so we decided to contact them to see what availability they had. To our surprise they did! (Mind you the wedding was less than 4 months away).
Our venue sales associate, Russ Schubert, was so thorough with the information provided to us before booking. And once booked he was very responsive, supportive, and flexible with all of our questions and visits to the garden. We decided to go with the Woodland Mosaic for our small wedding and honestly there was no better place for our wedding. Truly an unforgettable and magical time at the gardens!

Lovely Intimate Wedding

We got a lot of options for size of venue and price point, and was able to pick one that perfectly met our needs. Our Event Coordinator Russ Schubert did a great job coordinating with us, keeping us up to date with when things were due, and making sure the actual day went off without a hitch.

Beautiful Venue and Seamless Planning

The Botanic Gardens had been our dream wedding venue for 5 years, and Kindra and everyone at DBG made it come to life! The communication, timeliness, and professionalism of the team made us feel comforted through the whole process, and both of our walkthroughs were incredibly helpful. We booked the Annuals Garden and Pavilion, which was so lovely and picturesque for us and our 80 guests at the beginning of October. The space is visible to the public on one side, but after the event we realized that neither of us thought about that and didn't notice anyone stopping or gawking. The whole day went incredibly smoothly between setting up, photos, catering (we used Serendipity who are excellent and know the Gardens well), our ceremony, and breakdown. We were surprised at how reasonably priced everything was, and ended up right at our budget. We have already recommended the Botanic Gardens to other friends to consider for their wedding or hosting work events.

Perfect place for our small wedding!

Kindra and everyone at the Gardens was so wonderful! She helped us with any and all questions we had, got us measurements of the space, and helped make our day amazing. The botanic garden is the perfect place to have a wedding! The Solarium is tucked away and feels so private and romantic. Guests were able to walk around before the wedding and during cocktail hour to enjoy all the beautiful spaces. They provided us with a getting ready room as well, which was a great space to sit down and have a moment before the ceremony.

Woodland Mosaic

We are so happy that we chose the Gardens for our wedding. Most of our guests had never visited before and they were just enthralled by the grounds, and the Woodland Mosaic was the perfect venue for our ceremony. Our caterer Serendipity worked seamlessly with the Gardens staff, and for what it's worth, it was very, very cool to see the gardens transform after sunset! We have nothing but gratitude to the Gardens; from planning the event to the ceremony itself, it was quite literally a perfect day.

Highly Recommend

We had a luxury micro-wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens using the Romantic Gardens for our ceremony location and the Solarium/Woodland Mosaic for the reception. The areas were absolutely gorgeous and helped create our dream fairytale wedding! The Denver Botanic Gardens is truly a beautiful landscape and venue to hold your wedding at! I cannot imagine having my wedding anywhere else after my experience here!

Fun and friendly venue

We host our daughter's wedding at Denver Botanic Gardens in late February and everything was beautiful. We worked with Andrew from the inquiry through the 30-day walk though, he was wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The day of we worked with Macey who was present ALL day long for us answering questions, running errands, etc. Willing to help with literally anything asked of her. Helped us make changes throughout the day as needed. And came up with some great ideas for flow and guest experience during the event. The entire DBG team was fantastic and we would highly recommend them for any event.

Best wedding vendor by far!

We had an amazing experience working with Courtney at the Botanic Gardens. She was very responsive, organized, flexible, explained things clearly, and had great suggestions. Of all the vendors we have worked with, this was by far our favorite.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
