My SIL had her wedding and reception at Grant-Humphreys mansion on Pearl St. It was beautiful, they had it outside, you should totally check that place out!!
I've been to the lionsgate center for like 3 weddings, and a prom, its a really nice place, not sure of your budget, but for what you get compared to other locations, i find it to be expensive. I'm having mine at Stonebrook manor because i recieved one of the nearly free receptions (thank god cause my budget is less than what some people spend on flowers, lol).
We had a tour at Lionsgate and thought it was great! Those chickens running around freaked me out a bit though! lol!
We're having our wedding at Stonebrook as well! Their all inclusive packages are amazing!
If you are up north I would suggest trying out the Dove House that is basically in Broomfield off of 287 and near E470. My mom got married there eons ago - before they had homes built up around it. It was beautiful then, not sure what it's like now.
Thanks girls!
We are currently up at CSU for school, moving to parker next may (and wedding will be in June). We have time obviously, but I like to have ideas and be organized!
I am planning on looking at the Dove house! They seem to have a beautiful set up with a very low price compared to other places I was looking at! I will also check out the Grant-Humphreys mansion, my family is in Boulder so that could work out well!
I loove the Denver Center of the Arts, but $10,000 just to rent the location is a bit too steep for us. The venue is stunning and I looove the idea of it, but I can't jusitfy spending that much on a venue.
PirateJenn- that is awesome that you got one of those nearly-free receptions!!! I would love to do that but most of the guests will be out of town, so Tuesdays don't work to well! You will have to let me know what the venue and service is like though, I would love to hear about it!!
Miss DW, I got married at the Denver Center of the Performing Arts (Seawell Ballroom), and just wanted you to know they discount the rental fee for days other than Saturday, if that makes a difference to you. We got married on the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend and got a discount.
This is why I gave my guests a while to plan ahead to come out. When you don't have money to do things, making it happen on a tuesday is ok with me, lol. They have a year and a half still.....so unless they are sick, they have time to plan ahead to come out!
I totally agree with planning ahead- except for the fact that many of my family and friends have jobs (like teaching) that would make it next to impossible to do a midweek wedding. We have played around with the idea of a Monday (because they could stay over the weekend and we could have some activities to do) or on Sunday. Both of those days would allow the guests time to explore Colorado (with and without us) and give us some time to prepare the last minute things that will need to be done.
@HannahT- do you mind sharing what your rental fee was? And how did you like the catering (because they only allow the one company)? Was that relatively well priced, have good options, etc.?

I am doing my ceremony and reception at an art gallery on Santa Fe. Walker art gallery is also pretty darn affordable (in the golden triangle area), if you do it on an off peak day, which i think for them includes sundays. if you want to do a sunday on a holiday weekend or an early in the day party, that might be the way to go. also, never underestimate the awesomeness of denver parks!
I'm a Boulder girl, so here are my two cents/suggestions:
St. Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder, we're having a Sunday afternoon luncheon reception, which makes it actually affordable instead of astronomical. :-)
Good friends of ours had their wedding at the Alps Boulder Inn (sorry, their site has music) last summer, it was really lovely, but got a bit crowded with 90 people in attendance. It was especially cool because you can bring in your own whatever (food, booze, etc.) without any surcharges for not picking one from column A and one from B, etc.
We are having our wedding at the Golf Club at Bear Dance, in Larkspur. I've been to a wedding at the Lionsgate Center, in the Gate House and it was beautiful! in the evening, it was so pretty...i'd recommend it.
We're getting married at the Gold Hill Inn (west of Boulder) this fall. No rental charge, only the per person plate fee. Fantastic deal. :)
We are getting married at Snow Mountain Ranch (YMCA facility) in Granby, which is near Winter Park. It's gorgeous, there are a lot of ceremony site options, and a handful of reception options, and it's cheap - it's $1450 for the whole thing, and if we book 20 or more room reservations the reception space drops to half (would be a total of $975 for the day for ceremony/reception site!!).
This picture is of the ceremony location - the chairs will be set up facing the Continental Divide. How cool is that!?!

We are getting married at Snow Mountain Ranch too! We're having the ceremony at Columbine Point, which is on top of a mountain facing the continental divide. It's AMAZING. And with the separate reception venue, the whole thing was $2600. Plus, like ms. rice krispy treat pointed out, we get half the cost of the reception venue back if our guests book 20 rooms (which is $900 back). They let you bring in your own caterer and alcohol, which is why we looked at them originally. I love it!
I 3rd Snow Mountain Ranch! It looks gorgeous and they have lots of options for where to do your ceremony and reception. The best part for my group is that they have affordable lodging. Their rooms are $99. Down the road at Devil's Thumb, which is an equally gorgeous venue, they want $300! I'm sure the rooms are nicer but at that price my family just can't afford that and will drive to the nearest Best Western.
