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.

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.

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. :-)

We have been a patron of the restaurant for a few years, coming for events and meals. Because of their welcoming area, and fantastic food along with their values as a company we decided to book our wedding here.

The wedding was magical, the staff was patient with our guest list changes, and they made sure everyone was comfortable and happy! Marilyn (the owner) was amazing for her wisdom and patience as we organized everyone on the day of. We couldn't imagine a better day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
