5 Ways to spend Valentine’s Day in Denver
Valentine’s Day in Denver can feel like a Rom-Com in the making. I know you can picture it – snowy day in the city. The city lights glittering all around you because the sun still sets early. Walking hand in hand through the Denver’s high rises and breathing in the crisp, cold air. Denver is is the perfect place to spend Valentine’s Day – here are some ideas.
1. Valentine’s Day at The Beer Spa
For all my beer loving, brewery going, in-need-of-relaxation couples. The perfect equation for Valentine’s Day – Beer Spa + Charcuterie Board + Chocolate Covered Strawberries + Sparkling Wine. You and bae deserve a night of disconnecting from the world around you and reconnecting with each other.
2. Dairy Block Floral Fridays
The Maven & Dairy Block are partnering with Plantus Potum to bring you the most curated Flower Market Pop-up called Lovin’ on the Block. Every Friday, as well as February 12 & 13, you can find Plantus Potum providing the most beautiful variety of bouquets for bae.
3. Skyline Rink Romance
Okay, so, you know it’s damn cold here. It’s February. Unless you’re prepared for a winter hike including snow shoes or micro spikes, a day hike may not be the activity you’re looking for. The Skyline Rink hosted by Southwest Airlines is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors without dealing with the treacherous weather conditions that comes with Denver winters.
4. A Night at Denver Botanic Gardens
SURPRISE! Roses aren’t the only flowers associated with Romance. Spend Valentine’s Day at the Denver Botanic Gardens as they host Love Potions from the Vine Tour. This special 1 hour tour takes place inside of the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory (so you’ll stay warm) and reveals the romantic lives of tropical plants.
5. Valentine’s Day for Foodies
CALLING ALL COUPLES WHO LOVE TO EAT – there’s honestly not another way I can imagine spending Valentine’s Day than eating my way through Denver. You can bet the mile high city is hosting the best dinner experiences for couples ready to celebrate their love with FOOD. Here are some Denver Restaraunts hosting Valentine’s Day Dinner Experiences:
- 3 Course Meal at Bigsby’s Folly Winery
- 4 Course Under the Sea Meal at Downtown Aquarium
- 4 Course Love, Sushi, & Other Drugs at Colorado Sake CO
However you end up celebrating February 14, I hope it’s the perfect day. And if you end up adding some bling to a certain finger, I know a GREAT photographer for engagement photos.
"Hiring McKenzie to photograph our wedding was single-handedly the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Wedding planning and vendor research was so stressful, and once we had Kenzie, she stepped in as support and helped us with narrowing down things that were important to us and to figure out what we really wanted. wish we could get married over and over again just to recreate these and work with Kenzie again! "

"You will not find another wedding photographer who has the McKenzie signature style- she can capture the absolute beauty of the area and people all at once. She can shoot in a variety of settings and lightings and the photos are all gorgeous. One of the main reasons we booked McKenzie was the fact that she showcases a diverse clientele and finds beauty in all beings- something not all photographers can say.As a plus size bride who was extremely worried about looking back at my wedding pictures with dread that I wouldn't look like those gorgeous girlies on Instagram- this meant so much to me. "
Sydnie + Nathan
"When we got engaged, we searched near and far for an elopement photographer - & we met with several different photographers but none felt right until we met McKenzie. My husband, my dog and I are avid hikers - we wanted a beautiful hike and view, but it was also very important that we could be our authentic selves and intimately celebrate our 10 years together in the way we wanted. I'll be honest, I was shy about wanting to elope (ya know, family opinions and such), but McKenzie made us feel so comfortable in our decision. She wholeheartedly welcomed us being.. us! We couldn't have asked for more."
