Ashley Sent on 02/22/2019Breathtaking Venue and Views!
Jodie at Clock Tower Events was amazing for our Harry Potter-themed wedding and reception at the Daniels and Fisher Clocktower in Denver. This historic building is an incredible venue. We were married in front of the clockface on the 18th floor and had the 17-21 floors for the night! The views from the 360-degree balcony on the 17th floor are breathtaking day and night. Jodie was easy to work with, great at communication, and a fun addition to our wedding and reception! I HIGHLY recommend this venue.

Rebecca Sent on 10/01/2016Jodi really came through for us and made our wedding day amazing. The venue was everything we wanted and more. Our guests told us they felt like they were in a Hollywood movie, because the building is so unique and gorgeous that it feels like a fairy tale. -
User1805440 Sent on 09/11/2014I recently had my wedding at the Clock Tower on 05/16/2014. What a memorable place to get married. I had just under 75 guests which was just the right amount for moving through out the venue. The staff was great they were so accommodating and helpful!! Holly was so generous in letting us visit the venue numerous times for planning purposes before the event. I received so many compliments from my guest about how unique the Clock Tower is, and they enjoyed themselves being able to see the inside of a historical building. I can't thank Holly's staff enough what a truly magical place to get married! I highly recommend checking into this venue for your wedding or any event!!!

User1773508 Sent on 08/20/2014Very unique venue, makes for quite a memorable party and gets away from the everyone-sitting-at-the-tables vibe. Jodi was very helpful with suggestions and other vendors. Also doing "little stuff" day of. Overall the perfect location for us, only downside is the elevator and bathroom situation. Only one bathroom on the lowest floor of the venue, which meant lines for some and a bit of a trek to get there from the bar. Also, the elevator is slow and creaky, which made the coming and going a little slow....would have been fine except for the fact that the elevator actually broke with several of our family members inside at the end of the night! Groom and I and a few guests ended up walking down 17 flights of stairs, not quite how I wanted the night to end. Obviously not their fault, but one of the limits of an older, historic venue...when it breaks, there ain't no other. We did get our family out of the elevator and came back the next day to get everything else, so it all worked out. Thankfully it didn't break until the end of the evening. Only other drawback is there are very few electrical outlets in the venue, you have to get creative with extension cords if you want to do a slide show or have anything else on power...another thing that comes with working in a historic venue I suppose. Overall we loved the space and the staff were great, just some hiccups on that "older building" stuff. -
User2321060 Sent on 09/17/2015This venue is so much fun! My fiancé and I had our first kiss in this venue and now we will be hosting our reception there. It is a very unique space with no kitchen. I don't see this as a negative at all. I think it forces caters to think outside the box and create a fun menu. We will be serving tapas and drinks on each of the floors, similar to a progressive dinner. I am very excited to show my guests this space! The owner and her staff have made themselves abvailible for me to view the clock tower for all of my pre wedding planning questions. I highly recommend considering this space for a fun night with friends and family. -

User1166930 Sent on 05/19/2013We used the clock tower for both our wedding ceremony and our reception. The venue itself is amazing, and requires very little to no decoration. All I did for decor was provide flowers and some framed family photos in lieu of a slideshow.
If you have a lot of children, elderly, or any mobility-impaired guests this is not the venue for you. This is an adult venue with lots of stairs, and it's truly not child-friendly at all. This was fine for our event, but just be aware that this is not a place for a bunch of toddlers to run around.
The owner, Holly, was extremely gracious and very easy to work with. Her venue manager, Kari, was very prompt and professional. The event staff members at our wedding were super helpful. I can't say anything negative about the staff or the venue - everything was delightful.
What a treat to hold our very special event in this iconic Denver landmark! Thanks to Holly and her staff!!! -
User2050547 Sent on 02/24/2015We had our wedding at the Clock Tower last month, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The space incredibly beautiful, and my wedding day was simply magical! We hired their event coordinator, Jody, extra to help with day-of coordinating and decorating. Both she and their house manager Barton were awesome! My guests are still raving about how wonderful everything was! -
User2428211 Sent on 11/16/2015We had a small wedding ceremony here with a dinner following, the venue is really beautiful and unique. However, the main contact for the clock tower was very unprofessional, she took days to reply to emails, ignored half of your questions in the email or never even replied to emails at all. When we did a final walk through she told us that she would be the main point of contact during the wedding and took notes as to how we wanted things to go that day. The day of she was not there at all and we had to deal with a new person asking all the questions we went over with her, he was also very rude to me, my mother-in-law and my photographer. The Clock Tower really is a beautiful venue but unless you want stress in the planning process I would steer clear

User2499344 Sent on 01/08/2016The clock tower is a beautiful venue. We loved how unique our wedding was and the pictures are absolutely stunning. The reason I am not giving this venue 5 stars is due to the staff that runs the venue. It took me four or five phone calls just to get my contract signed. Any time I had a question I had to send multiple e-mails before I got a response. Due to the fact that the space was unique and the lack of communication from the venue we decided to hire a day of wedding coordinator. This was by far the best decision we made the entire wedding! We highly recommend Alex with Mark Christopher Events. If it wasn't for Alex I probably would have gone crazy. The people at the venue are very little help throughout the whole planning process. During my walk through they changed the time that we could enter the venue even though my contract clearly stated another time. In the end they honored the time in the contract. They also told me that I wasn't allowed to have candles although my contract clearly stated that I could as long as they were enclosed with glass. So it appears they decided to change the rules and didn't update their contract. I had to make last minute change things with my florist who was in charge of the decorating to get LED candles. This was an added frustration and an added cost. Again if it wasn't for Alex being by my side from the walkthrough all the way to the day of the wedding I truly feel like my wedding would have been a disaster. I feel that the people at the venue don't listen to you and are very un professional. The day of the walk through it took us over fifteen minutes to get into the venue even though we had a scheduled time. If you want a very unique venue with stunning views this is the place for you, however save yourself the stress and hire a day of coordinator (and not the lady from the venue who offers her services as a day of coordinator).

User1810962 Sent on 09/15/2014The venue is BEAUTIFUL! The staff is unprepared, unprofessional and overpaid. I planned every detail of my wedding down to charts and each item labeled where it belonged. I am by no means a high maintenance bride but I know how much my parents were stressing and wanted to make this as smooth of a day as possible.
We began set up at 10am and I was to arrive at 4pm. We paid extra to have their coordinator and her two assistants set up as well as had several extra hands available. My poor parents spent their entire afternoon trying to get things done that we had paid the clock tower "day of coordinator" to do.
When I arrived, my poor parents were so overwhelmed they had to step outside to get some fresh air. It looked like the clock tower staff hadn't done anything and at 4:30 they were telling my that it would all come together. As guests arrived, the venue was still not put together and half of my decorations were still in boxes. I can get over the fact that this was not even remotely my dream wedding but I wont forgive the clock tower staff for the time and money that my dad wasted on their services. I think we could have hired a class of elementary schoolers to do a better job.
People save their entire lives for weddings and we received horrible service. Like I said, the venue is beautiful! The staff ruins that quickly. -
User1771164 Sent on 08/19/2014Wow, I really wish my feedback of the clocktower could be as glowing as the other reviews here. I suppose the Clocktower is only kind to expensive weddings. Though, they sell the "elopement package," they're certainly not nice to those who purchase it.
First, their coordinator Jodi said the 20th was available at any time. After I requested the time, she basically sold the timeslot out from under me to a larger party. I ended up with a timeslot I totally did not want, but the only one available if I wanted to keep my date the same. Which, is sort of funny since I was asking for it way more in advance of the notice they said they accept reservations for... I guess they'll make any consideration if you throw money at them.
Then, Jodi took me on a tour of the space and basically said she'd help to make the day beautiful even though it wasn't my time slot. She showed me the bridal suite on the 14th floor, she suggested we serve breakfast and said the vendors could set up before our 10am timeslot...
Then, they got my money.
After that, Jodi curtly informed me that everything I'd requested - the timeslot to come in early to set up, the bridal suite - none of that was available to ME.
I think the Clocktower, and the owner, who was informed of my problems, just dont care about the people who want to elope there. Beware the lip service you get until they tie you into a contract.
So sad. My day will be stressful, as everything will have to get set up while my guests are on site and because I'll now be changing behind a shade on the 17th floor. I guess they don't really care to help make your day "magical." -

Be very cautious of booking this venue
Getting a hold of anyone is extremely difficult, it appears there is only one land line that they call out of and they do not share any other contact info. I have yet to call and have anyone answer, always at the mercy of a call back despite calling numerous times over several weeks during business hours.
Planned on having a ceremony here but all our other vendors cancelled on us due to COVID19 and the governor's guidelines. When I was finally able to get someone on the phone from the Clocktower (luckily I had my phone on me and was not preoccupied with work for the unscheduled call back) they told me that they were still holding events, despite the city mandates, and that they did not have the money to refund me even if they wanted to. The only options they gave me was to reschedule and incur significant additional costs, or spend more with them.
I have seen other people have similar issues, and worse than us, with this venue over COVID19 as well.
