About

The Mercury Cafe wedding venue is located in Denver, and opened its doors to the community in 1990. This eclectic cafe focuses on and has a strong passion for music, dance, theater and poetry, and these forms of art are carried throughout the cafe’s rooms. The Mercury Cafe, however, not only has a strong focus on the arts, but also on the planet and utilizes organic ingredients alongside using the wind and sun for its power. Now, couples can enjoy this same unique and earth-focused space with their guests on for their ceremony and reception.

Facilities and Capacity
The Mercury Cafe can accommodate many different sized weddings from smaller parties of 60 all the way up to parties of 300.

The Ballroom is also a perfect setting for receptions with its dance floor and full bar. Regardless of which space you and your guests enjoy on your wedding day, you will be saying your vows or enjoying your reception in a very unique yet also affordable space.

The Perfect Wedding Venue!

We recently had our wedding at the Mercury Cafe, and it was an incredible experience. The staff was amazing all night, ensuring every detail was perfect and our guests were well taken care of. The venue looked stunning, creating a beautiful and romantic atmosphere. The food was amazing! Gio was flexible with the menu and let us do a tasting beforehand. We received a ton of compliments by the guests on how good the food was. Alex was instrumental in making everything run smoothly, setting up a schedule for meetings and coordinating all the details flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team for our special day. Highly recommend the Mercury Cafe for any event!

Make your life less stressful and your wedding a dream!

Easily the best decision we made (aside from choosing one another) was having our wedding at Mercury Cafe. Marilyn (current owner) is so calm, so kind, and so knowledgeable. She helped every step of the way, answered all our questions and phone calls, and was with us all night to ensure it ran smoothly. And talk about a beautiful, magical, special place to be wed and then to party! The space is so beautiful we brought in almost no decor of our own. Our guests were so impressed with the gorgeous space and the delicious food.

Can't say enough good things

The Mercury Cafe and Marilyn were incredible to work with. We had to postpone our original wedding date due to the pandemic and they were incredibly accommodating. The food was incredible, the waitstaff and bartender were outstanding, polite, and professional, and the venue looked beautiful. My guests all loved how unique it was and my husband and I loved that we could have a wedding that felt like us, not like every other wedding you see on Pinterest.

Mercury was a phenomenal venue. Marilyn was helpful and able to customize our day exactly as we had hoped! Our guests loved the funky and fun vibe of the venue and we were able to curate a day filled with dancing, laughter, and joy. Highly recommend!

A Magical Venue!

I can’t say enough about how awesome our experience was at The Mercury Cafe. We got married in the ballroom and it looked beautiful! Marilyn helped us every step of the way and helped us throw an awesome and very affordable wedding of our dreams. She did it all - catering, flowers, set up and take down, and helped us set up an awesome swing dance lesson during our cocktail hour. She was super responsive and really went above and beyond in helping us plan the day out and making sure everything was on schedule. Our night was just perfect!

Beautiful and fun reception

We had our June 2019 Reception in the ballroom at the Mercury Cafe. The party was wonderful - our guests raved about the bartender, the staff, and the food (we had the fish taco bar - highly recommend and great for all food restrictions). The staff was particularly attentive to our older relatives.

The space was amazing - you don't really need a florist at all, they will cover all of the tables with flowers and they even put flowers on our cake (which was home-baked and which they let us bring in).

And they did everything we asked, we definitely didn't need a day of coordinator (which we didn't have).

It was much more affordable than most places we looked but it didn't feel budget at all - it felt magical and lavish and fun.

Also, every single piece of advice Marilyn gave us turned out to be accurate. She had done a lot of weddings and it shows.

2 notes for couples planning to use the space:
1. The Mercury only takes cash or checks and we didn't remember that we'd need to bring a check with us on the night of the reception to pay the final balance. This ended up being ok, we were able to drop one off the next day since we weren't leaving town.

2. If you're not doing a day-of coordinator (which we didn't), remember to provide instructions on any announcements you want made by the staff. We didn't really plan out the last part of the program - we knew we wanted to do dessert and then the first dance but we didn't actually set anyone up to announce it. It ended up being totally fine and I'm not sure anyone except us noticed but I wish I'd asked the Mercury staff to announce dessert and the beginning of the dancing. The staff were great as soon as we asked them to do anything so this is really more of a note for myself or future couples planning. :-)

Perfect reception at the Mercury.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Mercury Cafe and with Marilyn. She was an amazing, cool, calm and collected presence throughout our wedding planning experience, and you can tell that she truly loves doing weddings at the Merc. Our guests raved about the completely custom and delicious Filipino and Korean menu, and Marilyn was great about having us bring in a lot of personal touches to make the space feel like us. The ballroom was totally and completely magical on the night of our reception - it felt like such a special place, and it was absolutely the perfect venue for our night. We wanted to have a memorable and fun reception with great food and a great dance floor, and the Mercury Cafe and Marilyn more than delivered on all fronts. It was also incredibly affordable! If you’re thinking about having your wedding reception at the Mercury Cafe - do it. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

The Mercury Café provided us with the wedding of our dreams! This is hands down the best place in Denver to celebrate a day of Love with all of your friends and family. Originally we were planning on having a "small" wedding when we picked this venue. Marilyn was amazing to work with . As our guest list got bigger and I began to panic , she assured me that the venue would be beautiful filled with anywhere from 60-300 people. She was right! We ended up with about 160 people and it was perfect. The menu was delicious, the venue is romantic and working with Marilyn throughout the wedding planning brought me back to center. I could not recommend this venue enough to anyone in Denver looking for a unique and beautiful space to throw a party.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
