Excellent space for photos and getting ready

We had a hotel block at the Golden for our wedding, and also had the wedding party get ready here before traveling to a mountain wedding. The hotel staff were fantastic when we were organizing our block, the catering was delicious when we were getting ready, there was plenty of space to have both the bride and grooms parties and having a location so close to the creek made for a beautiful place for photos with the wedding party. We would highly recommend the Golden for wedding parties.

You cannot go wrong with the Golden

Let me tell you about how The Golden saved my wedding and made it the greatest day of my life. Six weeks before our wedding our original hotel, where we were having our ceremony lost our records, and reservations twice. My husband and I decided we were not comfortable with them and began looking for possible other locations and that's when we found The Golden and it couldn't have been better.

Robby was very sympathetic to what we had gone through and worked to make our wedding incredible and it was. They took care of everything and made our wedding exceptional. Robby and everyone at the Golden were so kind and accommodating. They took care of everything from the food to the decorations. We even got a free room for the night included in with our wedding.

The staff at the Golden even went so far as to take care of me on our wedding. We were in their parking garage breeze way waiting for the wedding to start and I started feeling faint from the heat and from forgetting to eat. As I'm about to sit on the ground, not caring about my dress an employee finds a rolling chair for me. I sit down and my cousin's SO gives me a snickers as I'm about to take a bite the same employee drapes a towel over me so that I won't get chocolate on my dress. He then rolls my into the area where the elevators are which was in the AC. He rolled me there! He was so concerned for me that he wouldn't even let me walk.

Everyone the worked there went above and beyond to make our wedding the greatest day of our lives. They saved our wedding and made it perfect. Its been weeks and my husband and I still say everyday how great our wedding was and its because of Robby and the staff at the Golden. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding there. They will take amazing care of you.

The Golden Hotel is pretty all inclusive for our 59 guest wedding. Settings, linens, waitstaff, food and beverage, venue coordinator who worked with us the whole time and wrangled everything day of, champagne toast, bartender, a comped night at the hotel in a suite plus breakfast the next morning, centerpieces, ceremony setup and teardown, and probably anything else venue-related you can think of. I stayed at the suite the night before with 2 of my 4 bridesmaids and we had a little sleepover and then were there ready for the makeup and hair ladies first thing. The coordinator/sales manager of the hotel was a complete godsend. She tied tags on ceremony chairs, scattered flower petals, helped set up tables and took care of all of the things you need a coordinator for. She checked on me several times throughout the day, accepted deliveries, told the groomsmen where to go, and provided a lot of reassurance that I luckily didn't really end up needing! Because the catering was through the restaurant at the hotel, food was brought out hot straight from the kitchen and guests almost all cleaned their plates. Special orders for gluten free and 1 vegetarian were all handled with grace and no upcharge. I told the coordinator that I get hangry so she had a plate of appetizers brought out to us during cocktail hour while we were outside taking pictures the first time. We had an open bar and people loved it. The waitstaff were phenomenal and one overheard some inappropriate jokes from hour table and basically became our new best friend. They also were very kind in dealing with a disabled aunt who had an outburst. Special shoutout to them! The best part was that when we were tired and done dancing and everyone had gone, we took the elevator upstairs and went to bed. I wouldn't change a thing.

I just had my wedding at this venue over Labor Day weekend and I cannot state enough how happy I was with everything! From the moment I contacted the hotel to inquire about venue information to the morning after when my new husband and I were enjoying our complimentary breakfast at their onsite restaurant, everything was wonderful! Kim Kalisch, the hotels event coordinator, was amazing to work with. She was very responsive to ALL of my questions and worked with me to accommodate anything I needed to ensure my "wedding day vision" came true. The process was smooth and I can honestly say I did not feel stressed at any point (which is a very rare thing for me). There was a small banquet issue during the dinner service, but the onsite manage worked quickly to remedy the situation, so it did not disrupt the night. I would highly recommend this venue for your ceremony and reception.

The #1 reason we chose this venue for our ceremony & reception was the location. We love Golden & the mountain backdrop for the ceremony was exactly what we were looking for. The food was moderately priced, and seriously SO delicious! Countless compliments from our guests on the food! Considering how much is included, the room fee was very inexpensive as well.

We did our rounds visiting each table during the salad course, and by the time we got back to our seats, our dinners had been served & were sitting for a little bit. A waiter immediately came over as soon as we sat down & offered to bring us new, hot plates. I felt like that was a really nice touch, so we got fresh plates to enjoy after visiting our guest tables!

The sales manager Kim was so helpful throughout the process of planning everything. From start to finish, she responded to every email or phone call promptly with answers to any questions I had. I was able to drop off all the decor & favors at the rehearsal & they took care of everything from set up to tear down. Everything was put into boxes so I could simply bring it all back home the day after the wedding. Everything was perfect!

The perfect location, the perfect setting. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. The Golden Hotel treated us as if we were the only event at the hotel that weekend. Kim, Ashley and their staffs took care of everything. All we had to do was tell them what we wanted and they made it happen. We loved how so much was included in our package and how easy it was to determine the menus. The staff was so friendly and professional even if they were not directly involved in our wedding. We will be celebrating many anniversaries there now too. If you can make it work, have your wedding at the Golden Hotel.

My husband and I were so thrilled with how our wedding turned out at the Golden Hotel. The success of our wedding was in no small part related to Ashleigh Buhr. From start to finish she was such a pleasure to work with. She was very prompt in responding to e-mails and was very helpful with all aspects of the wedding. She really went out of her way to make sure that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Even the day after the wedding, we got a late start to our morning and even though breakfast was over, she still made sure we got our room service with our breakfast voucher. Every request I made was fulfilled and our special day was absolutely perfect. She really made sure that there were no details left to chance. The hotel even set up our tables with the decorations for us which I could not believe. I was so stress free on the day of my wedding because I knew that everything was being taken care of. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Golden Hotel for making my wedding a success!!!! My husband and I will absolutely recommend you to any other friends we have getting married!

Our musicians have had the pleasure of playing at the Golden Hotel many times. From weddings to private and corporate events, the staff have always been very helpful. The venue is lovely. We especially like the Colorado room and the back porch/garden area. It is a great place to host an event!It is close to everything a guest might want to experience in Colorado.

I always enjoy working with Sandy and the rest of the staff at The Golden Hotel. It's a beautiful venue in the heart of Golden and has two beautiful outdoor ceremony locations for a nice variety of ambience. The food is stellar and there aren't any noise issues for a DJ like myself to worry about. Highly recommend!
