If you’re looking for character and charming ambiance plus a convenient location for your wedding venue, look no further than the gorgeous Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver! After researching and visiting many other venues in the Denver area, The Oxford Hotel won us over hands down. From that first visit to the actual wedding day, Kristi Collins, Catering Sales Manager, was a delight to work with. She answered dozens of questions over many months, returned phone calls/emails promptly and was always positive and supportive. With about 150 people in attendance, we were able to use four unique hotel spaces for the wedding – the Lobby for photos, the Theater for the ceremony, the Ballroom Foyer for cocktail hour/photo booth/musicians and the Ballroom for dinner and dancing to a live band. These unique spaces flowed together beautifully and our guests were pampered and indulged by the hotel staff. The plated dinner and its presentation was exceptional -- everything went exactly as we wished. Many guests conveniently stayed at the hotel and some also took the train between DIA and Union Station which is right across from The Oxford Hotel, such an easy commute. We received countless compliments on everything from The Oxford Hotel’s gracious service to its historic artwork to its proximity to Denver nightlife. If we could give more than five stars, we would -- working with Kristi Collins and the entire Oxford Hotel staff was just wonderful!

They were a great all inclusive venue. Coordinator Kristi was very helpful in arranging everything just as we wanted. The food was delicious and we got to speak directly with the chef at the tasting to make sure the dishes served were exactly what we wanted. The renovated rooms are perfect; simple elegance that can accommodate any kind of theme you want to dress them in. Bartender and waitstaff were great too keeping good drinks and food in the hands of our guests all night.

Beautiful venue, great food, and excellent staff! Kristi helped us out tremendously with making sure that our day went off to perfection. We got married just before Christmas, so the hotel decorations and Union Station looked incredible!

I had the pleasure of working with Ashley Poettker, Wedding and Social Sales Manager, for McCormick's Catering at the historic Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver. The occasion was a rehearsal dinner August 18, 2016. Everything was perfect. We were in the Plum Room. It was immaculate and table settings beautiful. Wait staff was outstanding, quietly efficient, very polite, attentive to all of our guests. Food was prepared and presented to perfection. We had many compliments. Ashley answered my many e-mails in a timely manner, was readily available for phone calls, was sincere about working within our budget, and made very helpful, insightful suggestions. She went over the contract with me so there were no surprises. She was very flexible. This was a perfect start to a fabulous Wedding Weekend for us.
The venue is beautiful, there is attention to detail, and Ashley and her staff made everything very easy.

I had my wedding reception in The Sage Room at The Oxford hotel in January 2015! Throughout the whole process, Stephanie was amazing to work with. She is very organized and makes sure that every detail is taken care of! It was a very stress free process and the final product was amazing! The food from McCormick's was amazing and the service was top of the line! Not only was the food from McCormick's Catering great, the staff at The Oxford Hotel went the extra mile to make sure that all of our guests were taken care of! I cannot say enough good things about McCormick's or The Oxford Hotel! Our reception went very smoothly and Stephanie and her crew were the reason it was such a success! If you are looking for an exceptional venue and amazing food then this is an obvious choice! I would choose them over and over again!

Choosing The Oxford Hotel and McCormick's catering for our wedding reception was one of the best decisions that we made regarding our wedding day. My husband and I were both completing pharmacy school and had very busy schedules so we did not have much time to dedicate to planning but because Stephanie was so organized and easy to work with we didn't have to sacrifice on quality. She was very organized and made the whole planning process very easy. One of the things that we wanted for our wedding was to provide our guests with a great meal and McCormick's did just that. The food was amazing and I could not have asked for better service during the whole evening. From start to finish Stephanie worked with us to ensure that everything was just the way we wanted it. Her attention to detail is great and she was even waited on us to enter the reception room and served my husband and I our first drinks! We also had a brunch catered (which was delicious) and they worked with us to re-use the decorations from the night before. I cannot say enough good things about her and McCormicks! If I could do it all over again I would hands down choose them again! Our wedding was so elegant and the food was delicious and all of it happened with minimal effort on my husband and I's part!

The Oxford Hotel did an amazing job with booking reservations for our guests. During the wedding weekend they made sure that everyone was taken care of and were always so friendly and accommodating. Most of our guests were from out of town and absolutely loved the history that The Oxford Hotel offered and the location is also unbeatable.
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend The Oxford Hotel and McCormick's catering!

The Oxford Hotel package was the BEST venue we could have possibly picked for our wedding!!! Planning was so easy because everything was contained - hotel, venue, and catering all in one! The food was amazing and all our guests thought the venue was so beautiful and elegant with market lighting. We chose the Sage Room and it was gorgeous. The service was wonderful and Stephanie Traylor with McCormack's and Patrick with The Oxford are AMAZING!!!!!! Thank you for making our special day PERFECT!!!!!!
