a complete, exhaustive, and excessively thorough, list of
Denver Wedding Venues
Planning your dream wedding in Denver?
…but every time you search, every directory gives you mountain venues instead?
I feel your pain!! I hate the lists on the big directory sites that seem to think Denver means… anything within 4 hours of the airport?? Other local directories promise to “match you with the perfect Denver wedding venue” but require you to enter a bunch of personal information before serving you results. RIP your inbox when every venue salesperson is emailing you for months when you were just trying to get a list of cute venues!
I’ve put together this page to serve as a resource for people looking for a wedding venue that’s actually IN Denver. All of these venues are within Denver city limits and are the perfect backdrop for your city wedding! I reached out to every venue on this list and gave the venues the option to include extra information about their space for free. I didn’t want to prioritize only spaces that had huge budget for advertising.
Wedding Venues in Denver
There are definite advantages to having your wedding at an event venue that is designed to be just that… a wedding venue! While many restaurants, hotels, and museums offer options for weddings as well, the following spaces are dedicated wedding and event venues. Usually, that means you get the advantage of having furniture, linens, and a site supervisor included in the rental. That person won’t be multitasking managing multiple spaces like they might be at a restaurant or museum space, and they’re specialized in working weddings!

Blanc Rental Includes

Other Details

Blanc has been around for a minute, and is still one of my all time favorite wedding venues in Denver (not anymore, big sad-face). They have announced they will no longer be taking on anymore clients, and are closing down sales as of Spring 2025. It’s one of the few with a super unique outdoor ceremony space with some greenery (there’s a gorgeous grove of trees in the courtyard). You get the best of both the urban chic vibe with a more natural backdrop for photos! They also have multiple indoor rooms to move your event through during the wedding day. It definitely gives guests a unique experience and flow as they explore the property.
It’s surrounded by swoonworthy trees in the summertime, but still keeps that industrial vibe going with it’s views of the area near RiNo. For photos, it’s really easy to walk down the street to some of the best murals in Denver!! I go to this neighborhood all the time for engagement sessions, so you can’t go wrong taking wedding photos there too.
Moss Denver
Moss Denver Overview & PRicing
- Venue Capacity: 200
- Weekend Pricing: $8,500
- Weekday Pricing: $3,500

Moss Rental Includes

Oh, Moss… there are not enough words to describe how much I love this space!! From the golden hour light that spills into the ceremony room from the west-facing windows, to the gorgeous chandeliers in their urban chic reception space, you just can’t go wrong in this space. They have the coolest bar in the “moss room” that actually has a flowing water feature on it! I love it when people set up the ceremony in the moss wall room, then use the other room for the reception. Their huge barn doors on each room make it easy to funnel guests between the spaces, and there is a great entry-way for a coat check, gift table, and unique decor opportunity.
Mile High Station
Mile High Station Overview & Pricing
- Venue Capacity: 550
- Weekend Pricing: Fri $3,900 Sat $6,400 Sun $2,500
- Weekday Pricing: $1,500
Mile High Station Rental Includes
- Tables + Chairs
- AV Package
Other Details
- Has exclusive catering company
- Can bring your own alcohol
- Allows amplified sound
- Pets allowed for the ceremony
Mile High Station was one of the first “big” Denver weddings I photographed at, and it made me realize how much I love a city industrial wedding vibe. It’s now right next to the iconic Meow Wolf building, but it got its name from the Mile High Arena when it was still named that. It’s one of the darker city venues on this list, so if you really want to go for that moody industrial look, this is the spot to check out first. It has a gorgeous central bar in the main space that makes an amazing backdrop for your ceremony and reception. Every time I’ve worked there, they’ve had the cocktail hour up on the second floor of the room which gives guests an awesome teaser for what the reception space looks like as they flip the room for you. I highly recommend doing your ceremony inside by the east windows. The lighting there is beautiful, and you get a perfect brick wall as the backdrop for your other decor.
There is also now a space right next door called Ironworks run by the same folks. It has more of an Art Deco feel than Mile High Station, and has an absolutely dreamy staircase. The ceiling is SO cool, and gives the downstairs space a real “speakeasy” vibe. You definitely don’t need to bring much into the space to give your guests a really unique experience. Definitely tour both spaces while you are in the neighborhood.

I love this small, modern, and bright space in Denver! It has a very contemporary aesthetic with the whitewashed walls and some really unique decor and furniture. If your palette for your wedding is elegant, elevated, and simple, check out this amazing little venue! While their listed capacity maximum is 130, I would actually recommend no more than 50-75 people in the space. It is quite tight for a larger group, and a little breathing room for a dance floor helps the space come alive!

SKYLIGHT!!!! Yes, I’m yelling because I’m so in love with this space. What do you need in a wedding venue aside from a whitewashed brick wall, exposed beam ceiling, and a rad little outdoor cocktail patio? Nothing. It’s perfect. It’s even surrounded by super fun colorful walls and murals thanks to being right in the middle of the Santa Fe Arts District. It also has one of the cutest getting ready rooms right off the back of the venue with gorgeous window light!

Space was one of the first art gallery venues in Denver to make it trendy and classy AF to get married in a working, breathing, art space! I love that they keep their art rotating, so you never know what is going to be on the walls for your wedding. One time I was there, the couple had an epic donut wall, and there was this perfect textured, neon colored, massive oil painting they wound up using as the backdrop for the donuts. Magic. They have a great patio area outdoors for the cocktail hour, and an area that a food truck can be parked at the back with easy access for the guests. The upper floor inside also makes for a great cocktail space while the downstairs gets flipped between your ceremony and reception. The next space is their new second space that they started after the gallery was such a big hit. Definitely check that one out too!

I’ve loved museums since I was a little kid. My grandmas would always come to Colorado during our summers off and get my sister and I out of our parent’s hair for a few weeks.

Denver Parks Wedding Venues
Denver has a few park locations and historical properties that are available for weddings but governed by the city parks department. They’re an amazing option for affordable weddings in Denver, especially during the summer. Because they are so popular (and so cost effective) dates go QUICK once they release them to the public for booking this year. You normally need to have some flexibility in your date to be able to lock something in at these awesome spots!
How to book Denver Parks event facilities
First, you’ll want to head to the Denver Parks website and create an account, then head to their facility reservation page to apply for a permit. You can only submit a reservation request via the online fomr or in person. You have to reserve the location at least 30 days prior to the date you want for your wedding. For any of the facilities, a nonrefundable downpayment of $210 is due when you make your reservation. You’ll get a confirmation email from Denver Parks within 48 hours of your application.
If you want to schedule a tour of any of the venues, you can do it by checking out these instructions. They’re free, but you can only bring one other person with you to the tour.
While you can bring in your own catering and alcohol for any of these venues, Denver has a specific set of liquor license requirements for all the venues that are part of the Denver Parks wedding venues. They are as follows:
- If serving or selling alcohol: Liquor Liability or Host Liquor Liability is required with your insurance coverage.
- If selling alcohol: a Special Event Liquor License must be acquired from the Denver Dept. of Excise and Licenses.
- For all alcohol: A licensed bartender who is not a guest of the event is required for the service of any alcohol
A Special Note…
Cheesman Park has been a staple as a wedding site in Denver for years. While it is still being rented out for private events and weddings, you cannot reserve it on the website like the other venues below. To request a date at the Cheesman Park Pavilion, email Denver Parks fill out the event application.
