Perfect Place

We were very particular about what we wanted from our wedding venue and the Lumber Baron delivered on everything. We wanted a Denver venue that you could stay at both the night before and the night after, a place in a cool neighborhood for the guests to be able to explore, with an outside area for the ceremony and reception, that was also gorgeous to take pictures in and around. The staff were super accommodating and Elaine, Joel, and Sasha are a great team. While we had a more laid-back wedding in terms of organization, flowers, etc, Sasha made everything so easy! The food was fantastic, we were able to special request specific beer that we wanted at the event, and they were awesome at setting up Sunday Brunch for the morning after for our guests as well. Could not recommend this place enough!

The Lumber Baron was such an amazing experience that we will treasure it with love for the rest of our life. From the beauty of the place, to the wonderful owners, and the great and only Sasha to help you make dreams come true. Sasha made the planning so smooth, and delightful, and she will go the extra mile to help you have the wedding of your dreams.

Unforgettable wedding weekend at The Lumber Baron

We are so happy to have had the honor of holding our wedding at The Lumber Baron this past summer. From the moment we visited on a hunt for a unique venue off the beaten path, it felt right. The character and history of this majestic home, settled in a quiet residential neighborhood in Denver, was exactly right for our blended Indian-Western wedding and provided an unforgettable setting for the days of events that surrounded it.

Unquestionably the best part of our experience at The Lumber Baron was working with its team. Sasha, Joel, Elaine, and the rest of the dedicated staff bent over backwards to make sure that the planning process leading up to the wedding was seamless and orderly and that the day itself went off without a hitch. The team was more than willing to accommodate our specific needs and requests, and Joel went above and beyond to create custom wedding menu items that beautifully reflected the fusion of our two families and cultures. They were even gracious enough to host us and our families and close friends for both a rehearsal dinner the night before and a leave-taking brunch the morning after, so we truly took advantage of their hospitality and wonderful service!

Being able to relax and savor the beautiful rooms, the delicious food, the kind and lovely people, and the gorgeous ambience of The Lumber Baron over our wedding weekend is an experience we will always be grateful to have had. The Lumber Baron will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we look forward to returning many times in the future.

Stigall/Cannon Wedding - June 2024

The Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens is one of the most lovely and whimsical old homes in Denver. My wife and I were married there this past June. We stayed at The Inn the night before and the night of the wedding day - with friends and wedding party - having the entire Inn to ourselves, which is a wonderful option offered to wedding parties.

The owners, Joel and Elaine, are the kindest people. They worked with us around some scheduling issues that came up due to family health issues and were most gracious about it. Joel does all of the cooking at The Inn, including for the wedding ceremony, and the food is excellent! We have also visited the Inn several times for brunch and tea. This is a great way to experience the Inn if you’ve never been. Elaine is a gracious hostess and very, very sweet. Easy to work with. They both made us feel right at home at The Inn, which has an undeniable magical feeling about it.

The Lumber Baron has a staff wedding planner, Sasha, who is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is well organized, ready with vendor suggestions, pricing, and has a very tidy schedule of planning meetings which will take you right up to the day of the wedding and helps to make everything as stress-free as possible. Much of the larger strokes of planning that goes into a wedding was handled by Sasha and/or The Inn itself. This allowed for us to focus on all of the details we wanted to make our wedding just right for us. The Inn is fully staffed to accommodate your event - which you can also experience on a smaller level, once again, should you visit for dining - and the staff is excellent! Quick, efficient, and very helpful!

The ceremony and dinner for our wedding was held in the garden, which must be mentioned. At the end of June, in the beginning of summer, we found the garden to be just as magical as the inside of The Inn itself. The ambiance was absolutely perfect.

I cannot say enough about just how perfect we felt our experience with The Lumber Baron Inn was. When we packed up to leave the morning after the ceremony - after a delicious breakfast with the rest of our guests - we left feeling a bit sad to do so. But we also left feeling as though we were part of the family at The Inn, in a way. And that is very special for us! Thank you Joel, Elaine, Sasha, and the entire staff of The Lumber Baron Inn, for making our wedding so very special.

Perfect wedding!

We got married at the Lumber Baron, and had the pleasure of staying the night before & the night of our wedding. The rooms are spacious, unique, and beautiful, with every amenity and so much individual personality. The grounds are also spacious, highly customizable for whatever your event/service needs, and very beautiful at all seasons of the year; we got married in June, but worked with the LBI for essentially a calendar year in preparation for our wedding, and it is gorgeous at any time. The owners, as well as our wedding planner who works through the inn, Sasha, were so accommodating, and did everything in their power to make our day seamless, special, and without a hitch; they didn't miss a beat. I look forward to any opportunity to visit the LBI in the future, and they made the loveliest day of our life truly remarkable.

Our Fairytale wedding at the Lumber Baron Inn!

My husband and I recently tied the knot at the wonderful Lumber Baron Inn in Denver, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue! Our experience was nothing short of incredible, and we would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a friendly and easy-going atmosphere.

Their easy-going nature put us at ease, knowing that our special day was in capable hands.

The venue itself is charming and full of character. The historic architecture and cozy atmosphere created the perfect setting for our celebration. We exchanged our vows in the picturesque garden, surrounded by blooming flowers and the soft glow of twinkling lights. It was truly a magical experience.

The food at the Lumber Baron Inn was absolutely delicious! Joel provided a fantastic array of mouthwatering dishes that left our guests raving. The menu options were diverse, and the staff was accommodating to any dietary restrictions or special requests.

One of the standout features of the Lumber Baron Inn is the onsite accommodations. It was so convenient to have our wedding party and out-of-town guests stay right at the inn. The rooms were comfortable, well-appointed, and added an extra layer of charm to our wedding weekend. It was like having a cozy home away from home.

Throughout the entire process, the staff's attention to detail was remarkable. They anticipated our needs and went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly on our big day. Their friendly and easy-going nature made us feel like we were among friends, and that added an extra level of joy to our wedding experience.

Hidden Gem - wonderful wedding venue!

We had already booked a venue when we went to the Lumber Baron for brunch. We were so enamored with the beautiful location, the uniqueness of the venue, and the friendliness of the owners that we decided to cancel our first venue and booked with Lumber Baron. They were responsive, professional, and overall wonderful the whole way through the planning process. The owners, along with the events coordinator were so wonderful that they felt like old friends by the time the wedding arrived. They clearly love to share their amazing space with others and truly made sure that we didn't have to worry about anything. The chef and staff were amazing! We're so happy that we stumbled upon the Lumber Baron and would highly recommend them for weddings and other events.

The staff at the Lumber Baron Inn in the Highlands in Denver, Colorado were exceptional! They hosted our wedding venue, providing delicious food, the gardens for our ceremony, and Erin, our efficient, gave a personal quality of care and professionalism that was so warm and welcoming. We stayed an additional 2 days, as well as our wedding night there, and had the joy of breakfast prepared by one of Denver's respected chefs and Innkeeper. It was a perfect fairy tale wedding from start to finish.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
