Boettcher Mansion was a dream come true venue for us! We got married on a Friday in September and it could not have been more perfect. It checked basically every box - cozy, woodsy, romantic ... a little bit of a fairy tale! They did some upgrades after we booked that really brightened up the place - redoing the floors, painting the lobby a gorgeous blue. Shea, the venue coordinator, was incredibly helpful and kind; she was so responsive to every question we had over the year of planning - and there were a LOT of questions... thanks Shea!! We added on the gazebo and the indoor and outdoor lighting package ... it did make it more expensive, but getting married on a Friday counteracted some of that added cost and the lighting was beautifully done, it added a soft, cozy glow to the evening. The main room and patio fit our 102 guests comfortably for the ceremony and reception. The dressing rooms were lovely and well-equipped, and everything flowed really seamlessly from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. It was honestly a dream venue and we couldn't be happier we chose it! If you're looking for a gorgeous Colorado mountain venue with phenomenal staff - and prices definitely lower than some other ritzy mountain venues - this is the venue for you!

We had our wedding at the gorgeous Boettcher Mansion in July 2022. It's a truly magical place to host a wedding, from the beautiful craftsman decorating style inside to the breathtaking views outside. We had a 105 person wedding and we could have fit more people if needed, but that number felt perfect for our day. Working with Shea for the logistics leading up to the wedding and Laura the day of the wedding, we knew that we were in good hands. They answered any questions we had and were so accommodating as we had to change our date twice thanks to Covid. If you're looking for a fantastic venue for your wedding, definitely choose Boettcher Mansion.

I'm the rare Colorado bride who got rain on her summer wedding day and it lasted long enough (hours) to change the venue from outdoor to indoor. The planner put a bunch of floating cylinder candles on the fireplace and the arch flowers were placed on the wooden benches. This actually increased the intimacy and the ceremony (along with our incredible officiant) exceeded even better than the outdoor option as the warmth and love was intense from the indoor setting. Everyone said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. We also had an instrumental band in the piano room.

Boettcher is the perfect setting and I would recommend the venue with the following advice:
-We paid $9500 with taxes for a full day rental so it adds up quick from the $5800 venue fee. The venue is worth it, IMO, but you should be aware of where the price ends up after all the add ons. This is partly because you must rent the lights for $1000 and also the adjacent spaces (gazebo, etc) to prevent people from coming on the grounds
-We had a disagreement with the venue on start time and rehearsal as they tightly book other events and even tours the day of your full day rental. This isn't common for that amount of money. We had a 1:00 setup time and it was tough getting them to do a 12:00 setup time but we were happy they finally agreed to this. Notably other full day rentals give you the full day starting at 8 am if needed
-I would recommend (2) hair and (2) makeup persons to pull off a full day as they limit yourself setup time to 3 hours. It would be tough to have this done in a salon and then go to the venue as it's located at least 45 mins from Denver or Boulder, although going to a salon is possible. If you do the hair and makeup on site, you'll need two of each if your bridal party is bigger than 3 people bc the bride takes an hour
-For some reason, the cake was served in the entry area rather than the reception hall. That meant we ended up with nobody in our reception area despite paying for a live band and technically ended up without a reception as people mingled in a small space instead. This was an oversight by the caterer as they did not break down the dinner tables but having venue staff that can help maximize the use of the venue would have been a nice backup for this oversight as they know the space best. I imagine every wedding at Boettcher has a reception in the reception hall so this should have appeared out of place for venue staff as a backup as we used a recommended caterer. This happened so fast we didn't realize everyone was eating cake in the entry area until it was already done. They also didn't get to see us cut our cake. We were confused as to why nobody was in the reception area and the band was playing to an empty room.

Overall, we do recommend Boettcher and if I could do it all again, it's the one and only place for me. We had 70 people fly in and the proximity, views, romantic setting, indoor/outdoor spaces are unparalleled. Megan was also very helpful to us and very professional.
