About

Mile High Station is an industrial-style wedding venue located in Denver, Colorado. This renovated Steel and Ironworks building serves as a significant reminder of Colorado’s history. It was originally used by the US Navy to build ship components during World War II. Surrounded by rustic brick walls and remarkable steel structures, couples can celebrate their special day amidst this venue’s rich history.

Facilities and Capacity

Boasting expansive spaces and high ceilings, the Mile High Station can accommodate anywhere from 100 to 1,200 of your guests. You will be given the option of various ceremony spaces including a large dining area and a charming patio. While this venue is able to host large parties, couples and their guests can also enjoy smaller, more intimate wedding ceremonies and receptions here. The large, low-hanging chandeliers emit a soft light that lends a warm atmosphere to any small gathering. The venue bridges the gap between historic and modern by adding new features to an already monumental building. A bridge stretches over the length of the ballroom, which offers an aerial view of the main event room. A built-in bar in the main room provides guests with refreshments while they celebrate the night in style.

Services Offered

The team at the Mile High Station works hard to ensure that each couple receives a personalized experience. You and your loved ones can enjoy the rehearsal dinner, reception, and even the wedding ceremony at this iconic Denver landmark. The staff can provide you with lighting and sound equipment and can assist with the setup and cleanup on the day. This rustic, loft-style venue offers a wonderful backdrop for any special event held here. To make the space even more personalized, the venue houses a list of recommended vendors for decor and furniture rentals. This list also includes photographers and planners that have worked with this venue in the past.

History

Dating back to 1897, this building was the workplace of many iron and steel craftsmen. In the 1900s, the US Navy was in desperate need of ship parts, and so this production line turned its focus to building and shipping these vital pieces. In 1903, the Jackson Richter Iron Works was established. This made its name as one of the biggest infrastructures in the city of Denver.

Mile High Station is a must for your wedding!

It is such a cool industrial feel with the exposed brick and huge chandeliers! Didn't need to do a ton of decor because the venue was so cool! Open bar package was key! Nice to be able to have a patio to step out on as well!

The most perfect venue!

If you want a venue that requires little decorating but provides the absolute best industrial/elegant vibe you will absolutely love Mile High Station! The organization and communication with the venue was incredible and so smooth...especially since we were planning this all out of state. They made sure all of our requests were met and if they weren't able to help us they directed us in the direction. The bartenders and venue staff the day of the wedding were incredible and made sure we had a fantastic evening!

Beautiful wedding venue

We booked our wedding at Mile High Station before COVID for May 2021, and Sarah was so helpful throughout the entire process with letting us know all of our options, providing recommendations for setup and layouts, updating us on COVID protocols and so much more. She helped make a very stressful process less so with how responsive and informative she was. We ended up postponing our wedding for a year and she made the process seamless. We were able to have the bridal party get ready on-site which was great, and the space looked beautiful for our wedding. Would absolutely recommend it as a wedding venue!

Mile High Station and Julie were absolutely amazing! As we were planning our wedding from far away, we relied heavily on communication with Julie to make sure everything was in order before we came to Denver. She was so responsive and so kind while answering my millions of questions. She also agreed to meet with us and show us the venue after we had booked it! On wedding day, MHS was spectacular. The bar service was great and Julie made a point to come congratulate us and get us whatever we needed! My only complaint is that there was warm beer for a while before dinner. However, my husband brought this up to the bartender who was definitely surprised and fixed the problem right away, which was all we could ask for! Overall, we had an amazing time at this beautiful venue. We highly recommend!!

We booked Mile High Station for our wedding ceremony and reception the moment we walked in--my husband was absolutely in awe at the bar, while I loved how beautiful the space looked! It was way outside what we'd budgeted for a venue, but it was absolutely worth EVERY penny.

In addition to making sure the venue looked gorgeous for our wedding, Sarah and the staff at Mile High made sure everything went as smoothly as possible for our big day! The bar staff was spectacular, the tables and rolling carts were set up exactly to plan, and they made sure to keep everything going without a hitch! They were also flexible with us coming in two days after the wedding to pick up the vases and a few other decorations that were left behind! And, when my husband lost his job the week before the wedding, they even set up a payment plan for us so that we didn't have to stress out about coming up with the final payment while being under so much stress. I cannot tell you how much we appreciated their flexibility!

If you have out of town guests or want to highlight Denver, please pick Mile High Station. From the second your guests enter they will be blown away with the details. Stephanie is head of the sales team and walks through every detail of you evening with you. Our guests loved everything about MHS!

We found this vendor after attending the Bacon and Beer festival there in 2012. When we got engaged I knew immediatley where we wanted to have our wedding. Melissa was super responsive and very helpful with everything we needed! And when we found out we couldn't book a hotel for our initial date, we were able to move to the week earlier. The space is amazing and all of our guests were awed and spoke about how they wanted to come to more weddings there!

Mile High was incredible to work with, they were quick with responses and the space made for absolutely incredible wedding photos. Our guests raved about how unique the space was and with very little extra decorating we got exactly the look we wanted for our wedding!

We had our ceremony and reception here. The place is definitely large enough to accomodate a large number of people; we had a group of 100, and it felt perfect. We had set up a curtain to divide the ceremony space from the reception space, and it felt very intimate. The building has a great style on its own- it seems like you could make it more or less formal depending on your wedding vision- we had a "fun" theme and it went over beautifully. I also liked their patio area by the bar where guests could hang outside if they wanted some fresh air. We got a lot of great feedback about Mile High Station from our guests.

We worked with Dana over at MHS and everything went very smoothly. She was always easy to reach if we had a question, and very professional. They had worked with our other vendors (caterer, DJ, florist, cupcakes, etc) previously, so it was nice to know that there would be no logistical issues to worry about. Our out-of-town guests stayed downtown and Dana arranged for a few taxis at the end of the night.

Everything went off without a hitch! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!
