With almost year-round sunny weather, Denver is a favorite location for outdoor weddings. There is a wide array of outdoor venues to host your big day from magnificent gardens to historic buildings and cultural centers. Here’s a look at some of the popular ones:

If you want the best views of Denver’s skyline, nothing beats the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Specifically, there are four lounges here that are available for wedding ceremonies and receptions with the fourth floor, called the Sky Terrace, strictly for receptions. You can hold your ceremony in one of the floors below and then have a dramatic evening reception at the Sky Terrace with the beautiful sunset and the starry night sky as the perfect backdrop.

Looking for a fun outdoor venue that is out of the ordinary? Consider one of the four unique venues in the Denver Zoo. There’s the Conoco Zoo Gardens which is an open pavilion with a view of cheetahs and elephants; the African-themed Primate Panorama where the primates reside and is only available for evening affairs; the Northern Shores where you will be surrounded by views of sea lions and polar bears; and the Samburu Patio for small wedding parties and overlooks predators.

For sophisticated outdoor weddings in Denver with an historic appeal, the Phipps Mansion is a perfect venue. The University of Denver now owns this 5-acre estate, which has gorgeous flower gardens, fountains and vast lawns. The mansion is of the Georgian period with a glass-ceiling atrium and an outside courtyard where you can hold an intimate wedding ceremony. You can rent the venue for a four-hour period on a weekday or for a brunch or evening wedding on a weekend.

For the classic outdoor weddings Denver, the ultimate venue is no other than the Denver Botanic Gardens where there are five separate gardens to choose from: The All American Selections Garden already has a tent as well as an indoor seating. The private Woodland Mosaic Garden is perfect for intimate weddings with up to 50 guests. For even fewer guests of 15 to 20 people, the ideal place is Water Garden Gazebo. For big summer and spring weddings with up to 125 guests, choose the Romantic Gardens and for a unique garden venue, choose the South African Plaza.

When choosing venues for outdoor weddings in Denve, it will help greatly to decide ahead of the search what type of wedding it will be so it will be easy to make a short list of prospect sites. Lastly, don’t rely solely on photos of the venue. You must visit each of your prospect sites personally.
