"We were incredibly happy with our choice of History Colorado Center as our wedding and reception venue. Its event spaces are beautiful, it's price point was reasonable, and it's conveniently located just south of downtown Denver.
We held the ceremony in the central Atrium, with its beautiful Colorado- themed art and imagery. There is a topographic state map on the floor, a vintage Colorful Colorado 'welcome' sign and an entrance to the Museum exhibits on the other, which was a great way to incorporate the venue into our festivities. And while we were concerned that the acoustics would be problematic in the Atrium, there were no issues!
We held the reception in the MDC-Terrace Room on the 4th floor. It has floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls and views of the city and mountains. There was plenty of space for our 170 guests to eat, drink, and dance.
At the reception, we opted for an open bar. History Colorado offers several tiers, and we went with the premium beer & wine option. It was more expensive, but definitely worth it for the better-quality options. One incredibly nice touch was that the History Colorado team told us they had leftover alcohol from a prior event, and they put together a special mixed drink for our reception at not additional charge.
Everyone we worked with at the History Colorado Center was incredibly friendly and efficient. We are especially grateful to Natalie Schwab, the Director of Catering and Event Sales, who was our point-person throughout the process. Natalie walked us through all of the details, met with us in the space multiple times to plan the perfect evening, and worked with us to make sure everything went as planned. In addition, the catering team was amazing- we loved all the food we tried, which made it difficult to choose just a few options for the wedding!
Overall, we loved History Colorado as a venue and can't recommend it enough to couples considering the venue!"

"Quick but large THANK YOU! The three days at the HCC this week were AMAZING. I just want to thank you for a great experience, for our participants. Not only were they inspired by the museum exhibits for their work, they were also inspired by the beautiful space. Erin my facilitator was really great- she took great care of us throughout the time there. The food was delicious and plentiful. I checked in and they all said they would change nothing- so that’s great news!
PLUS- One team is going to ask their administrators if they can have their annual retreat at the museum! I highly encouraged them to do so!
Thank you for all you did to make this event a BIG success. I hope we can do it again!"

Annalora Young Wedding

"My husband and I are both Colorado natives, so when searching for a venue we started with the mountains. We are from Colorado, so let's do the mountain wedding right?? Well, we just could not find what we wanted for our larger wedding. I finally booked a tour at the HCC and thank goodness I did!!! We immediately fell in love with it. First off, the location is perfect! Right in downtown Denver, this makes it such a fun and easy venue for those visiting from out of town. My husband and I also live in Denver, so it made it easy to schedule appointments with the coordinators rather than having to drive too far away. The venue itself has an option for everyone! We booked the upstairs terrace area for cocktail hour. A fun place for people to gather, take pictures and check out the view. For dinner, we moved people downstairs to the main lobby space with the map of Colorado. It had plenty of space, while at the same time felt comfortable and inviting for our larger number of guests. The vibe of the venue is modern but has a rustic Colorado twist to it which is what we loved about it 🙂 We felt like the overall feeling was what we were looking for in a venue. As for the coordinators, Natalie was THE BEST! She was attentive to our questions and details throughout the process. Making it stress-free for us. Overall, so so happy that we chose the HCC. The day just wouldn't have been the same without this fabulous venue."
