Denver Botanic Gardens

at Chatfield

Open House

The Fabulous Denver Botanic Gardens has a new undertaking. A quiet little (ok the preserve is 700 acres in total...so not small) farm right off C-470 and Wadsworth. It's like a time jump- off the highway and into calm, into peace, into a longstanding (19th century) ranch & schoolhouse. You can faintly see cars going by in the distance- you just can't hear them.

Your drive in is a picturesque view of a red barn with natural gardens all around.

But when you enter the barn, it's not so 'farm'- no dusty shoes here, no animal smell, no horse tack- just brand new gorgeous wood walls and beams and concrete floor. Even an indoor real bathroom.

A quaint little room. Really ready to be dressed up.

No adding

"please wear appropriate attire"

(read flat shoes and nothing angered by dirt) on your invitation.

seating indoor ~120 guests-150 guests

When entering the barn... an amazing smell! (ok, that's extra) If you're interested in this 'add on' call

In order...

1- Great Smell

2- Great Display

3- Great Food

-The most upscale toast points, fresh salsa, we've ever seen. These people can make even the simplest look and taste amazing.

-Crusted Beef Tenderloin served with smooth, unique and very well made sauces.

-Fresh Spinach Salad with blue-cheese, walnuts and raspberries.

-Bite size chocolate pastries

These people are a world away from their bbq roots (which they still do if you'd like- and they are great at it)

Thanks Rocky Mountain, you can make me dinner anytime.

thanks also to County Line Liquor.

Your Vendor's Idea of Service

Sometimes we are really appalled at the level of service of some vendors.
(it should be noted that most go out of their way to offer you great service- but that's not note-worthy)

You would think in the millions of dollars to be had in the wedding industry, that vendors would really consider the stress causing affects of their everyday demands.

What you do not want to do before and after your wedding. (Ya, we don't want to do it either!)

Before Your Wedding:

-Get initial fitting for tux

-Call tux shop to fix order

-Drive an hour to pick up altered dress from seamstress because it was the only option.

-Return to tux shop to remeasure

-Go to pick up tux on Thursday

-Go back Friday to get tux coat and realize they didn't order it

-Go back morning of wedding to get coat (we've now been to the tux shop more than their UPS man)

After Your Wedding:

-Return cake plates (seriously? they must cost like $10)

-Return tuxes (they can't order them right, but you'd better return them the next morning!)

-Return vases (They're huge, don't crack them!)

We would like to suggest vendors offer 'Stress-Free Perks'
You could sell our Brides on these little seemingly insignificant savers- we'd book you for it!

Just To Inspire

Pick a few well placed really impressive focal points for your event deco.
