We were incredibly happy with our choice of History Colorado as our wedding and reception venue. Its event spaces are beautiful, its price point was reasonable, and it is conveniently located just south of downtown Denver.

We held the ceremony in the central atrium, with its beautiful Colorado-themed art and imagery. There is a topographic state map on the floor, a vintage Colorful Colorado welcome sign on one wall, and an entrance to the museum exhibits on another wall. Our guests could visit the museum exhibits for the hour between the ceremony and dinner, which was a great way to incorporate the museum venue into our festivities. And while we were concerned that the acoustics would be problematic in the atrium, there were no issues.

We held the reception in the MDC-Richmond American Homes Foundation Terrace Room on the fourth floor. It has floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls and views of the city and mountains. There was plenty of space for our 170 guests to eat, drink, and dance.

At the reception, we opted for an open bar. History Colorado offers several tiers, and we went with the premium beer and wine option. It was more expensive, but definitely worth it for the better-quality options. One incredibly nice touch was that the History Colorado team told us they had leftover alcohol from a prior event, and they put together a special mixed drink for our reception at no charge.

Everyone we worked with at History Colorado was incredibly friendly and efficient. We are especially grateful to Natalie Schwab, the director of catering and event sales, who was our point person throughout the process. Natalie walked us through all of the details, met with us in the space multiple times to plan the perfect evening, and worked with us to make sure everything went as planned. In addition, the catering team was amazing—we loved all of the food we had! Overall, we loved History Colorado as a venue and can’t recommend it enough.

Wonderful space, so much fun for the guests at our wedding and Melissa was fantastic to work with and so super patient with us.

This space is awesome but, more importantly, the catering coordinator (Melissa) played an active role is keeping everything on track. She listens, makes suggestions, cajoles and consoles just when needed. We simply could not have been happier.

Our wedding at the History Colorado center was awesome!

Their staff: Ellen (venue) and Melissa (catering) couldn't have been more easy-going, helpful and accommodating (and we've dealt with a lot of vendors)!.

The view, space, and straight-up "wow" factor is an absolute bargain for the value.

I would recommend this venue for any large event!

If you are looking to do an indoor wedding but don't want a hotel wedding this place is perfect! Also the fact that the exhibts are open during the cocktail hour is awesome. Everyone had an amazing time at our wedding and the food was also great. Melissa and her team are easy to work with and were very helpful.

So sad to give a poor review. The food was not even close to what we had at the tasting. Fish was full of bones, chicken was dry and no flavor. Staff did not clear plates off of tables. We had to apologize to our guests for the food and service. The room itself was very nice.
