After the Wedding Party at The 1859

My husband and I held a party at The 1859 after we returned from our destination wedding. Kate and her staff were incredible! They made the planning process very easy and seamless. They were very communicative and answered all of our questions promptly; providing suggestions when we weren’t sure what we wanted. The venue itself is so beautiful, unique and in an amazing location near downtown Loveland. I would highly recommend this venue for any type of event- they will work with you to make your vision come to life and have fun doing it!

Bridal Shower Tea

We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower tea at the 1859 in April and loved it so much!
Kate was amazing! Starting from the initial tour, she asked all the right questions, gave us great ideas and provided names of potential vendors we could use to make the event run smoothly. During the planning process, she was quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the space. The guests couldn’t believe how beautiful and tastefully decorated the venue was. It’s an eclectic mix of preserving cozy and nostalgic old decor with all new kitchen amenities and technological features that make it totally functional for big parties.

Kate is amazing!

The 1859 made our dream into more than we could have ever hoped for! Kate helped us plan our big day while being flexible with our schedule and changing requirements. We also received plenty of great referrals to fill in the gaps in our wedding. 5 stars!!
