Denver Small Wedding and Elopement Venues
Castle Rock, Denver, Englewood, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Morrison
Venue pricing and details updated in January 2025
Having grown up just outside of Denver, Alex spent a lot of time exploring the city as he was growing up. He loves its inviting culture, delicious food, and it’s proximity to the mountains. Being in the largest city in the state provides the largest variety of other amenities such as the best restaurants (even some with Michelin stars as of recently), the most accommodations, and a variety of beautiful parks and neighborhoods to explore.
But in addition to city life, the Denver metro area also includes locations such as Golden or Littleton, which are so close to the mountains that they can have some unique rock formations in their own right. In the Denver area, you’ll find a wide range of small wedding venues, from historic mansions, to trendy art galleries, to gardens, to hotels, gorgeous mountain views, and even a spot at the foot of Red Rocks Amphitheater!

The Best Event-Friendly Small Wedding and Elopement Rentals in Denver
Our favorite place to search for event-friendly rentals is through the home rentals site, Vrbo. This site is very similar to Airbnb, has some incredible listings, and has a great search feature! In the past, we recommended that our couples look for event-friendly rentals on Airbnb, but in August 2020, Airbnb put a ban on parties and events at their listings. Since then, they have updated their policy to ban disruptive gatherings. And while most elopements and small weddings would likely not be disruptive, you might not want any gray area on your wedding day. So we now only recommend looking on Vrbo or other private home listing sites.
Rental rules and availability are subject to change, be sure to check the rules and reviews of a rental in case anything has changed since this document was created. And always contact the host for permission before booking a rental home to ensure that your specific small wedding or elopement plans are approved! Some affiliate links may be used, this costs you nothing.
