Denver, Colorado Wedding Venue Guide

When planning your wedding in the Denver area, you’ll find a wide array of venues to match any style and preference. Whether you're dreaming of an elegant theater setting, an industrial chic warehouse, a historic building rich with character, or an outdoor space that embraces Colorado's natural beauty, Denver has it all.

In this comprehensive guide, I'll help you explore various venues across the city, detailing key factors such as capacity, features, amenities, and pricing. Pricing is indicated by dollar signs - $ is under $3,000 for rental and $$$ is over $10,000, keep in mind things change quickly so always double check with the venue for final pricing! Venues are also marked for their LGBTQ+ friendliness: “likely” means queer couples have been featured on the venue’s site or blog, “yes” means confirmed by me, and “unknown” means no definitive information was found.

Pro tip - make sure to reach out to each venue personally and interview all potential vendors. Finding a team of people you vibe with makes your wedding day that much easier! Happy exploring!

Catherine Norwood

I am Catherine Norwood, a designer and photographer from Lawrence, Kansas. My job experience ranges from childcare to leading a media team at a summer camp. I also am an experienced freelance photographer, capturing senior and family portraits, headshots, and portfolio pieces for a beauty stylist. Through my previous work experience I have photographed and worked with a diverse group of people. Through each piece I design and in each moment I photograph, I not only aim to create something visually intriguing and intellectually stimulating, but something that will better society. By working with both photography and design I keep my perspective fresh and I constantly find new ways they can enhance and work with one another. As a designer and photographer, I don't only look to reach past the lens and screen to create positive relationships with the subject, but to also capture various cultures and areas so I can help others become socially aware of their surroundings.
