A lush, green park, this site is located in the heart of Denver. With nearly 150 acres, the park contains two ponds, a reservable boat house and gardens galore. It offers many options for your small wedding.
The park is big, beautiful and bustling! There is always something to do here.
Permits are not required for small weddings--(15 people or less). Larger events require permits from April through October (no permit needed the rest of the year).

For weddings held between September 1st and May 31st, note that Colorado has strict traction laws in place that affect what type of vehicle you are allowed to drive in the mountains. If you are planning a Colorado mountain wedding between these dates, please thoroughly read this blog post so you'll be driving the right type of vehicle. (Don't rely on the car rental companies to fill you in on this; our experience is that they don't.)
