Mount Vernon Canyon Club

Why Mt Vernon? Because of the view along with the package rate for a daytime/weekday wedding was exactly what we were looking for. Yes. There could be 1-2 other events but if there was another event going on I never knew it. Many of my guests were coming from Midwest central time zone. Since they are an hour ahead and older it was important to consider energy levels could be better during the day. For many this was their first "daytime wedding". Coming from the Midwest the view off the deck took their breath away and was "the entertainment". They also absolutely loved the food- we had the chicken scallpopini and braised beef lunch buffet with garlic mashed potatoes, carrots/ parsnips, and the Cobb and rotini salad. We did not do appetizers but had a brief cocktail time after the ceremony. We did have some morning coffee and cheese tray. We did a 1/2 champagne toast and had only a large sheet cake. Most commented it was one of the best weddings they had been to. One vegetarian said " it was the frickin' best risotto!".

Many were able to enjoy their evening afterwards and go to a baseball game. Don't underestimate a daytime wedding as being not as fun! It didn't take away from the fun- my older guests got into a conga line!
In fact- everyone was so awake and having fun we raised our alcohol budget during the event! Everything was so clean and staff professional and exceptional and on top of it. (I used to work in catering myself.) Nicole was excellent at answering detailed questions in the year preceding and directing the event to keep us on point.
Age range: we had a couple of 3 yr olds, 5 teenagers, a couple of 20 yr olds. Otherwise mostly 40 and older.
Other benefits of morning wedding at Mt Vernon: You will likely the Colorado showers and the grass is dry for morning pictures. It is tucked away from the highway abit and an easy drive from the Marriot Denver West. It is also near downtown so guests have choices for their vacation.
Suggestion with morning wedding: you can't decorate until 9 am. I had my dad and two friends unload and then when my two bridesmaid sisters and I arrived my sisters assisted with decorating while I got changed and primped for the "first look" at 10 am. To prepare my friend that decorated she met us for the rehearsal so I could talk her through things. I gave her pictures also. Something I hadn't thought of was utilizing her as a "greeter" but her and her boyfriend got changed and it worked out perfectly for them to greet guests as they came down the stairs and directed them to "sign our Jenga guestbook, the seating chart, advised about the bar and to sit anywhere outside". This was just a nice spur of the moment added touch that you might like to have.

I would definitely recommend Mount Vernon Canyon club for a wedding celebration. The staff and the food were of excellent quality. The grounds are beautiful inside and outside.

We just got married at Mount Vernon Canyon Club on 10/22/21 and cannot say enough positive things about the whole experience from start to finish. Barbara was fantastic on everything! Her responsiveness and attention to detail were wonderful from the preplanning to the day of execution. Everyone was so nice, flexible, and accommodating. The food was delicious as well so compliments to the culinary team. All of our guests loved it as well! Thanks so much to Barbara and the entire staff at Mt. Vernon Canyon Club!
