We were fortunate to be one of the first couples married at TACAW, a unique venue that matched our desires for our wedding - an outdoor ceremony, great food and drink and one heck of a dance party. The space is stunning on its own - which led to amazing photos for both the ceremony and reception. We are minimalists, so we let the space shine with small touches, however a maximalist could completely transform it. We had access to the green room typically used by artists, which was perfect for before/after the ceremony (it was just the two of us, no wedding party), and for an escape during the reception. We had an indoor rainy day back-up plan that would have been easy to execute, but thankfully was not needed. The staff was incredibly helpful, and Chase in particular helped to make our vision a reality, allowing us to enjoy our big day. She was incredibly responsive and ensured all of the venue details were taken care of. We had also hired a month of coordinator to handle the other moving parts of the wedding. Chase worked well with all of our vendors. The location is great, convenient to two area hotels, where we had room blocks. There is public transportation nearby (RFTA), which was helpful for local friends and others staying further away. There is one late night bar in the area which became the unofficial after party location. We live in the area, so it was nice to have a place near home, and made logistics much easier. The culinary partner - Aspen Epicure - works with TACAW regularly, and created a delicious menu for the buffet dinner. As a nontraditional venue, there wasn't a tasting available, however we did try their food by attending one of TACAW's events that had a pre-show dinner offering. (It is worth noting that this caterer does many top Aspen events, and the quality lives up to those expectations). Our wedding was small (65 including us), however it could easily accommodate more, especially with an outdoor setup. As a performing arts nonprofit, TACAW hosts its own annual gala, which provided inspiration of what is possible with the space. We worked with a rental company for ceremony chairs and tables for the reception, but leveraged the in-house chairs for the reception to keep things simple, which worked out fine. At the end of the night, Chase sent us home with some leftovers, which came in handy at about midnight. We ate during dinner, but managed to miss the tasty cocktail hour food that our guests loved. We appreciated TACAW staff working with us to showcase the area (CO spirits and local beers!) as well as seasonal items for the menu (there was a nod to fall favorites). TACAW's bartenders helped to create a signature batch cocktail base that could be mixed with several spirit types, which was a hit. They have a full service bar, which made it easy to offer a variety of drinks, however we pared the menu down a bit to try to stay on budget. Our DJ worked with the AV team to ensure great sound quality outside and in the main stage area. The lighting team are rockstars. I love that there are speakers in the bathroom, so you don't miss a song. And get the giant disco ball! The wedding was truly an expression of our personalities and our home, which we really wanted to showcase to our out-of-town guests, and TACAW made that possible. This is the perfect venue for a couple looking for a creative, nontraditional option, especially if they appreciate the arts and want to help support a nonprofit's mission.

We just had our wedding at The St Vrain in Longmont, and it was honestly everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we stepped into the venue during our first tour, we knew it was “the one.” The combination of modern industrial charm with its exposed brick walls and warm, romantic lighting gave us the exact vibe we wanted – stylish, yet inviting and intimate. The team at The St Vrain was exceptional! They took the time to understand our vision and worked closely with us every step of the way. Whether it was last-minute changes or helping with vendor coordination, they made the whole process so much less stressful. On the day of the wedding, they handled everything behind the scenes flawlessly, allowing us to soak in the day. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the space was and how unique the setting felt. We loved that we could have both our ceremony and reception in the same location, and the flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces was perfect for pictures, mingling, and dancing. There were so many special touches, like the gorgeous lighting and the natural character of the building, that made our day feel personalized and unforgettable. For anyone considering The St Vrain, I can’t recommend it enough. It was the ideal venue for us, combining style, comfort, and outstanding service. We’ll treasure the memories forever, and we’re so grateful to have found such a special place for our big day.

Black Mountain Lodge is such a beautiful place to have a wedding! And they really know what they're doing when it comes to organizing and making the night just flawless. We just had our wedding there and not only are all the staff just so nice and helpful and delightful, but also they really rolled with the different obstacles that we faced. When weather doesn't cooperate, they are on top of either fixing the timing or giving you ponchos to cover you for the chair lift up. Moving all the chairs inside when it's still raining is not at all an obstacle but equally gorgeous with their huge windows. Even if power goes out in the entire town, they keep the party going and your schedule on track and come up with solutions. Yep, we had an unlucky night but BML staff were that amazing that I wasn't worried in the slightest and continued to have the best night ever. But most importantly the venue is just so gorgeous. They really decorated it so nicely with beautiful lights, tables and linen. Obviously the backdrop of the mountains could not be more cool-looking. They also have themselves quite the amazing chef because that food was delicious. Thanks for making my wedding night an absolutely perfect night to remember, and giving me nothing at all to worry about.

We had the absolute best experience at Moody's on Mill St! From the moment we toured the property, we fell in love with the patio area and the hidden vault, which provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Tonya made the entire planning process seamless, ensuring everything was taken care of leading up to the wedding. The venue perfectly accommodated both our ceremony and reception, and having the spacious house on-site for guests was a huge bonus. With a beautiful, private outdoor area and a classy, elegant indoor space, we highly recommend Moody's on Mill St.

We COULD NOT be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Mountain Crust. This venue is so incredibly special. It is laidback enough to allow guests to feel comfortable and have fun, while still being beautiful and allowing for as much formality as you'd like. The venue is specifically designed to accommodate events, so everything runs so seamlessly. We received COUNTLESS compliments on the venue. Our guests loved moving around and enjoying different parts of the venue throughout the night. Besides the adorable, charming, unique, easy-to-access venue, the staff is out of this world. First, you can really tell that everyone who works there loves their job. Everyone was SO friendly and fun but also completely professional, competent, and reliable. There wasn't a single moment throughout planning, the wedding day, or afterwards where we were frustrated or stressed with Mountain Crust. They truly allowed this to just be a joyous occasion and we are forever grateful. CAN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!!

EagleVail Pavilion was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! We planned and re-planned our wedding a few times during the pandemic, and we finally landed on the EagleVail Pavilion which easily flexes to accommodate a large or small guest count. Our final guest count was 40 people, and we used two long banquet tables for the reception seating. We had our ceremony outdoors on the grass. Shaun Histed, the pavilion events manager, was so easy to work with, quick to respond via email or phone, kind and helpful when other vendors fell through. We adored working with her! The pavilion itself is absolutely gorgeous during the summer, with huge potted plants on the deck and the beautiful Colorado sunsets. Highly recommend this venue - and the price can't be beat!!!

We had our wedding at Lion Square Lodge in March 2025, and it was truly everything we had dreamed of and moree! The setting was absolutely breathtaking—snow-covered mountains, a cozy mountain lodge vibe, and the perfect balance of elegance and comfort for our intimate celebration. A huge shoutout to Megan, the Group Events and Sales Manager, who was an absolute rockstar from day one. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. From handling our lodging block to helping us navigate winter traval logistics and planning details, Megan made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We felt completely taken care of the entire time. We were also lucky to work with Vail Catering Concepts, Lion Square’s new exclusive catering partner, and they knocked it out of the park. The food was not only beautifully presented but also absolutely yummy. If you're considering a Vail wedding, Lion Square Lodge should be at the top of your list. The combination of the location, the incredible staff, and top-notch catering made for a perfect wedding weekend. We’re so grateful for everyone who made it happen.

We were married on May 31st at The Bella Sera in Brighton, CO, and choosing this venue was the best decision we made. What makes Bella Sera stand out from other venues is the family-owned care and personalization you receive. Instead of a “cookie-cutter” wedding, you get a team who designs an event around your vision. We were given a planner, decorator, and food manager who made everything seamless and stress-free. Antonia, our designer, took my Gatsby-themed wedding vision and created something more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. Every detail was perfect, and on the day of, I didn’t have to lift a finger—everything was handled flawlessly. Our guests raved about it afterwards—many told us it was the most beautiful and most fun wedding they had ever been to. Coming from a family of pastors and ministers who attend weddings constantly, I can confidently say ours was truly exceptional, and Bella Sera made it that way. If you want a venue that delivers beauty, personalization, and peace of mind, look no further. Bella Sera is unmatched.

We had our wedding in Journey Chapel last week. Within 3 weeks of notice, Lisa was able to set us up a wonderful wedding, the organization was perfectly handled, knowing that it was the first wedding at the venue as well. The place was beautiful and perfectly match to the intimate wedding we wanted. We definitely recommend Journey Chapel, they have very good decoration items and Lisa is just an amazing wedding planner! Ando

As a wedding planner who has worked in many venues over the years, I can truly say that the Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management at the University of Denver is one of the very best. They make the entire planning process joyful and seamless for couples, which makes such a difference on the wedding day. A huge thank you to Trixie and Abby – they are absolutely wonderful to work with and go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Couples are truly in great hands with this team. The food is also outstanding. Everything is cooked fresh and on site by their talented culinary staff – nothing ever sits in a hot box. Compliments to the Chef! Guests are always so impressed, and it elevates the entire celebration. If you’re considering a wedding venue in Denver, I can’t recommend Fritz Knoebel enough. You’ll be well taken care of from start to finish!
