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.

The most beautiful Denver wedding backdrop — and a team that made it completely seamless
*Note - we only did our ceremony here!
The Denver Botanic Gardens was a dream ceremony venue - there really isn't a more beautiful backdrop in the city for a wedding (it was important for us to truly have a Denver wedding - so it's rare to have anything quite as nice!). We loved our pick of the Romantic Gardens as we felt we didn't have to spruce it up too much at all - and it really did work out like that! But what made the experience was the team behind it, and specifically Russ. He was organized, clear, and consistently made sure we had everything we needed to feel prepared heading into the day as well as acted as the main point of contact throughout the day of. The venue handles a lot of events (clear in/out times, we had a mini touch up room, and they shut down way more space than we thought they would for us so we didn't really run into the public or regular garden-goers at all - we truly had an awesome corner of the gardens all to ourselves!) and you can tell they've really figured out how to make couples feel taken care of throughout the whole process. So glad we chose it and highly recommend to all!

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.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
