My Five Favorite Intimate Wedding Venues In and Around Denver
Denver is by far one of the best areas to get married in Colorado. Between the variety of wedding and event spaces, the ease of access (Denver airport), and all of the amazing things this city has to offer, you really cannot go wrong. If you’re planning an intimate wedding day in Denver, here are some of my favorite venues to do so.
Choosing an Intimate Wedding Venue in Denver
The Denver area is filled with so many unique event spaces and wedding venues, it can be hard to narrow down your options. When choosing your wedding venue, you want to ask yourself the following questions.
- What do you want your planning experience to look like? – One of the best parts about many of these intimate wedding venues is that there is no need for extra decor. You can spend your wedding budget on personalizing your wedding day to you and bae.
- What do you want your experience to be like on your wedding day? – Think about how much time you want to spend traveling from place to place, who you want to surround yourselves with and how you want your day to feel.
- What do you want your guests to experience on your wedding day? – Do you want to enjoy a beautiful high end dinner with your favorite people, or cater your wedding day and spend your cocktail hour wandering beautiful gardens?
- What do you envision your wedding day looking like? – Do you see yourself surrounded by your closest friends in the quiet of nature, or in the bustling art district of downtown Denver? Lucky for you the Denver area can offer both.
Please note that all of the venues I share on my blog are always LGBTQ+ affirming and care about their couples and their experience on their wedding day.
