Downtown Denver has changed immensely over the past few years as more and more people move to Colorado and settle in Denver. One of the best things about all this change is the number of high quality wedding venues in downtown Denver. As Denver wedding photographers we love photographing downtown and capturing a true urban vibe for our client’s weddings. There are definitely some venues that stand out over others as great places to have your wedding. Sometimes it is just the feel of the venue, but other things to consider are the location relative to other great photo spots. Here are some of our favorite venues that check off all of the boxes.

Ironworks
The Midwest Steel and Ironworks that dates back to 1903 is newly restored and has turned into an event venue that is not only beautiful but historic. The original structure built over several years from the yearly 1900s through the 1950s. They did an amazing job of creating an art deco feel from the 1920s. It feels like you have stumbled upon a speakeasy during the times of prohibition. They stayed very true to the architecture and design of the building and really brought it to life. Their remodel is highlighted by a beautiful bar, exposed brick, multiple chandeliers, and the original hardwood floors.
