We had an absolutely amazing experience with the Grant-Humphrey Mansion for our wedding. The location was perfect, the price was incredible, and the venue itself was absolutely gorgeous - it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Most ceremonies are outside so I wanted to highlight how beautiful and special an indoor ceremony was. The staff was also lovely to work with. Rita and John both dealt with all my concerns and questions with such care and grace and I am so grateful for them. Another plus for this venue how LGBTQ+ friendly this venue was through every step of the process. Weddings are a very gendered industry and it was a breath of fresh air. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stunning location at a great price.

My husband and I were extremely happy with the Grant-Humphreys for our wedding! We loved that it was easy for our guests to get to, that we got to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside, and that everything-- from getting ready to the last dance of the night-- could happen in one place. Rita made everything extremely easy to plan (despite two years of pandemic-related delays!) and followed-up after our event to make sure we had everything. We found that this was the best-priced venue in the city and loved that many things (e.g. tables, chairs) were included in the rental price. We were also extremely happy with the caterer that we chose from their preferred list (Relish) and didn't feel constrained by choice on that front, as there were many to choose from.

We loved this venue for our intimate ceremony! It was great to have full use of the space. John and Rita were very accommodating and always quickly answered any questions we had. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue, I'd highly recommend Grant-Humphreys Mansion.

John was great to work with – both during the walkthrough and on the day of! This is a beautiful venue that was a fantastic choice for our 115 guests. Lots of options for size and layout based on what you want for your wedding. Really liked that we got married outside and did not have to make guests travel to the reception – it was right downstairs. Bridal suites made it easy to get ready the morning of the event. We ended up booking the venue starting at 2pm so we could relax and have some time prior to the wedding. Lots of rules but they are not ridiculous – they make sense given the age and delicacy of the venue. Really glad we ended up at Grant-Humphreys for our wedding day! Note that you do have a list of caterers you must work with, and you must utilize Butler rents for any rentals – this got expensive, but it was nice that we didn’t have to coordinate number of spoons or number of tablecloths. Follow up on emails if you don’t hear back – they are often busy and may not respond to your request or question until a few weeks later. Really nice that you can put stuff in the downstairs closet after the wedding and pick it up the following week – we had some items that were lost in the shuffle, but got the bulk of our items (centerpieces, mixers, guestbook, favors, etc.) back. All in all, this is a pretty venue that’s relatively inexpensive. You don’t have to spend time or money on decorations because the mansion is already decorated. Would caution against those with weddings of 140-150+ attendees – at 115, the space felt a little small at times.

Grant Humphrey's was a dream for our wedding day. We wanted something affordable, but didn't look like we designed a wedding on a budget and the mansion checked all our boxes. Planning was so easy with Rita and her team. She truly makes sure you feel prepared and taken care of for your big weekend. The staff is fantastic, the space is gorgeous, and the aesthetics make for such a timeless, classy vibe. Guests were so impressed by the space and could not get over how many rooms there were or how historically preserved the space was - it was like having a wedding at a super cool museum. I would 10/10 recommend using Grant Humphrey's if you want a centrally located Denver wedding with a fantastic staff and beautiful aesthetics.

I don’t know where to begin with this venue. They were so professional and so accommodating. It’s a beautiful spot and very charming. Rita is a super cool lady. She knows her stuff. John too! Rita went down to Butler Rents with me and helped me pick out colors. The layout of the space is different, but that’s what gives it character. We married on the West Lawn and it was a hot day, but I honestly didn’t care. It was gorgeous. My guest tell me they had a blast at cocktail hour and later dinner. Make sure to hire Tanner for the piano during the dinner hour. He’s a wonderful musician. The mansion has his contact info. Dancing was downstairs. Yes the ceiling is a little low, but it works. They lifted us in chairs, but were super careful. Also the space is great for a band. Last but not least we hired a day of coordinator. Carson is awesome. Ask for her! She brings a ray of sunshine and knows her stuff. If you are looking for a beautiful, intimate, charming venue then you got it here. I’m a very happy bride!

My husband and I only looked at two wedding venues - once saw Grant-Humphrey's, we knew this was "the one." The mansion is gorgeous and needs very little decor. We loved being able to use the entire venue the day of and that we were the only wedding on the property. Because every element of our wedding was in a different place in the house, the wedding felt very dynamic and fun, as opposed to the typical reception hall where everything happens in one room. Rita and John were great to work with and they have all of the information for the venue laid out on their site so you don't need to bother them with a million questions! If you want a great wedding venue with character and a reasonable price that will knock your guest's socks off, host your day at Grant Humphreys! You won't regret it.

The Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding! The site is beautiful and elegant. Our guests loved the mansion! I love how we were able to use the entirety of the mansion throughout the whole event, including the dressing room upstairs, cocktail hour on the terrace, ceremony on the lawn, dinner in the dining room, and dancing in the ballroom. Between Carson (our day-of coordinator) and the staff at the mansion and from our catering company, my family and I were able to enjoy our day without having to do anything. It looked great and perfectly fit my vision. This is an excellent venue!

We had our ceremony and reception at Grant-Humphreys Mansion and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. John and Rita were an absolute dream to work with. They took care of us and our family and made the day that much more fun. I could not have asked for a more perfect venue!!

This venue is AMAZING!!! The staff was attentive and worked with us every step of the way! They were super flexible when we needed to move the ceremony indoors at the last minute and even let us have alpacas on the grounds! John, Rita and the other staff made our day unforgettable and didnt leave us in a pile of debt. We couldn't recommend this venue more!

The Mansion is beautiful and really is all inclusive. Dressing rooms, ceremony venue, dinner and dancing. The staff was easy to work with and very responsive.

This venue and the staff could not have been more perfect for our wedding day!! We orginally wanted to get married at my now husbands childhood home, but ogisitics with vendors were too difficult. This venue ended up being the perfect location for our event. The entire mansion is GORGEOUS! The coordinator was courteous and helpful and the day of staff was attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. Wishing our wedding could be every weekend!

We loved hosting our ceremony and reception at Grant-Humphreys. All of our guests were beyond impressed with the beauty of the mansion and surrounding lawns. The one downside was that it was sometimes difficult to speak to someone via telephone, however everything went flawlessly regardless. We were so happy!

We had the most wonderful wedding at Grant-Humphreys! It was so beautiful and John was so kind and accommodating. He was there whenever we needed assistance with the elevator for our grandparents along with any other requests and questions that we had! Wonderful venue! I cannot say enough good about them!

I cannot say enough about the Grant Humphreys Mansion. The venue is a beautiful historic building located in the Capital Hill neighborhood of Downtown Denver. John was our venue attendant for the night, the man was as hard working as they come. The mansion which was built in 1902 and has plenty of staircases to traverse, did not stop John from quickly flying up and down those stairs to grab whatever we needed throughout our event. While the mansion is old, the rooms were all comfortable considering we were married at the end of June. The dance hall which is in the basement was set up beautifully with romantic lighting and ambiance to set the mood. We required little of our own décor as the venue already has plenty of style and character to class up any event. I look forward to taking my kids to this venue in the future to show them where their mother and I were married and tell them about the magical night that took place in the summer of 2017.

Beautiful venue, people were easy to work with, highly recommended this location for a wedding and reception! Our wedding was absolutely PERFECT!

Amber K

The venue is a gorgeous space for a wedding. Our guests loved the historic feel and being able to explore, and all of the events flowed so smoothly from one element to the next. The house evolves as the party goes on. The team is also great to work with - very flexible where they can be (it is a historically preserved home) and responsive. My husband and I also appreciated that the fees for our wedding go back into preservation, not profit. Recommend!

We loved having our wedding at this beautiful venue. The benefit of GH is the mansion is so beautiful on its own you really don't have to spend the extra money on decorations. I also really liked having the entire venue to ourselves, which made everything feel so intimate and wonderful. We worked with Rita during the booking and planning process and she was great. Day of we had Jon as the venue representative who was very helpful for our vendors and guests. I would highly recommend GH for a couple's wedding venue. They were easy to work with, the venue is beautiful, and a very reasonable price. I would recommend buying the extra hour for the reception to allow a little wiggle room for guests!

10/24/2016

We got married here in September and it was beautiful. My husband and I were trying to do a wedding on a strict budget and were able to have the ceremony and reception there for such a deal! The place is so pretty that you hardly need any decorations and they keep it so well maintained. All of our guests loved the place and had so much fun.

This place was PERFECT! Such a beautiful venue - all of our guests had the best time. Rita is a live saver and was so incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, and on our big day!

What a gorgeous venue for a wedding! We were able to hold both the ceremony on the grounds in front of the mansion and the reception in the basement. In addition, the staff was helpful in finding additional vendors and get ready for our special day.

Hannah H

10/27/2015

The mansion itself and the grounds it's located on is absently beautiful! There was a transition in staff throughout our wedding planning but everyone we were in contact with were super friendly and accomadating. The only downside is that it is hard to get in contact with them. They rarely answer their phones. I would recommend only emailing them. From my experience they are more likely to respond via email within a few days than call. For the price this venue is an amazing value! Our wedding was absolutely perfect!

We were happy with the venue. It is absolutely gorgeous, and allows for a very grand feeling. Makes for really lovely photographs. I love the bridal suite, it was lovely for the hours we spent getting ready before. The ballroom is also way fun for dancing later in the evening. You must pick from their preferred caterers, which I thought would be fine considering there were roughly 18 to choose from. I still found that they were all very pricy. I would only choose this location if you have a flexible budget, or if you have contacted and picked a caterer from their list first. I think we spent twice what we had originally planned (but thats a common deal with weddings) I found out the week before that Lindsay, the mansion representative I had been working with for about 9 months, had left her position. This was a tremendous disappointment. I met the representative for my day only once and didn't see her at all on my wedding day. She completely ignored our rehearsal, and obviously the wedding day itself. That was a pretty big bummer, we were really happy with Lindsay. All in all, I would not have chosen Grant Humphry's if I could do it all again.

The Grant-Humphreys Mansion was a wonderful venue for our wedding. The staff was great and our main contact Lindsey was very nice and super responsive. A little pricey for our smaller wedding (80 guests), but everyone LOVED the mansion!

Shannon M

This mansion was wonderful. The staff is very helpful and everything is beautiful, we hardly had to do decorations because the site was good on its own. There are multiple rooms to separate everyone, and the getting ready rooms are outstanding! We could not have been happier with any other site, this was really the best!!!

Krista L

The Grant-Humphreys Mansion was spectacular. They really take care of the mansion and keep it in good condition. The staff at the mansion are really helpful, especially Lindsey. Lindsey was such a great help, I don't know what we would have done without her. The mansion is so naturally richly decorated that it required very little to no decorations or floral. It was beautiful.

Its wonderful event space! We had the wedding on the east lawn. Venue includes chairs and tables. Cocktails were on the south terrace. We used the main floor for dining and took the party downstairs in the ball room. There is even a stage for a band. It was the perfect place for our wedding!

The Grant-Humphreys mansion is beautiful and historic venue in Denver. It's wonderfully preserved and there are several places for great photo ops. I would highly recommend it.

My husband and I recently got married at the Grant-Humphreys Mansion. I couldn't think of a more perfect place for our wedding. The ceremony took place at 7:00 pm and it was outside on the lawn. After that we had a cocktail hour on the outdoor terrace and our reception followed inside. The best part of this venue is that you truly feel like you are in your own beautiful old house. There are no other events going on at the same time and your guests have plenty of room to mingle. The staff at the mansion are very helpful and sweet. We loved everything about it!

GHM is magical. Debbie and Lindsay are fabulous to work with and they care about GH as much as their customers. I wish we had more time to set up and complete pictures...the whole evening was a time crunch. GHM is a wonderful place for a wedding celebration.

Kate E

The mansion was absolutely the perfect setting for our Great Gatsby-themed wedding. We loved having so many rooms and floors to move guests to different locations. Our ceremony was indoors due to weather, but it was still gorgeous. There are a lot of rules to follow, but it's still worth it for this affordable, yet luxurious location.

Carolyn W

11/30/2012

The service here was wonderful and everyone was so nice here! It was so beautiful we only decorated with centerpieces, it really didn't need anything else! The price here for military families was outstanding. Less than $1000! We were a little disappointed that we had to pay for a bar-tending service even though we didn't have a catering service, just did a cake and punch thing. Other than that, it was wonderful.

Christine L

10/09/2012

This is a beautiful place to have a wedding. Since you can bring your own alcohol and have the caterer serve it we saved a ton of money on the bar. The bridal party ready rooms are so pretty for pictures and have tons of mirror space. The only downsides are that it's only open business hours M-F so it can be tough to set up showings, sign contracts, etc if you don't work close by. There are also a lot of rules about decorating in order to preserve the mansion. The dance area is in the basement which can make the reception a little fragmented, but we're not huge dancers so that wasn't a big deal.

Casi G

I felt like a true Princess on my wedding. The venue is elegant by nature so not a lot of decorating needed. Biggest expense was catering.

Alex M

5/29/2012

We recently had our wedding here, and couldn't have been happier!! The venue is just absolutely beautiful. Also, Debbie, the mansion representatives we dealt with, was SO accommodating. We went to the venue several times before to take measurements (and to show it off) and each time we were greeted with a smile! We highly recommend this venue!

This location was perfect for my wedding! It is like you are transported back in time. The Photos our photographer took really came to life because of all of the beautiful aspects of this mansion.

Susan L

4/10/2012

This was absolutely perfect. Very romantic, and perfectly (dimly) lit for our evening, fall wedding! A gorgeous vintage feel that was exactly what we were looking for. My only small complaint, the inside space did not hold as many chairs for the ceremony as we were told. We had some men standing. Overall, it was gorgeous and the service was great!

Christina S

6/28/2011

Beautiful place for a reception, especially if you can use the porch and the veranda. Only reason it did not get five stars is that the space is broken up into smallish rooms, making it difficult if you wanted to have a plated dinner. Can be difficult to get a hold of the people here, but that is balanced out by their flexibility with vendors, etc.

Sarah G

The Grant-Humphreys Mansion is centrally located in downtown Denver and very easy to get to. This facility fit everything we were looking for in a venue: location, decor, ambiance, price and size. We had our wedding on a Sunday, so that of course took down the price by more than $1000, but the price for a Saturday rental is easily comparable to other venues of this size and included tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception. There are some rules with adding decorations as it is a historical society, but easily worked around by using twist ties instead of tape. It has gorgeous crown molding throughout the place, and the grand staircase made for an awesome entrance for us to be announced as husband and wife. My only complaint is that the venue provides a staff member only to lock/unlock the facility and they have no other service to offer during the wedding. The employee that was on our day forgot to put out a parking sign for our guests and quite a few of them spent a considerable amount of time looking for a parking spot. This is why I gave 4 stars for service and value.

The reception venue was elegant warm unique historic classic open versatile tall ceilings beautiful furnishings quite and secluded yet centrally located had a wrap-around porch and was easy to work with. The mansion staff were supberb in making the day excellent. I absolutely loved everything about the Grant-Humphries Mansion.;You'll love it so much you'll go through mansion withdrawl when the wedding is over. Parking is somewhat limited as non-wedding goers take advantage of the parking.

The mansion is beautiful and a very classy and unique place for the ceremony and reception! The seperate ballroom makes for a very fun and unique experience.

Erin R

We were able to have our ceremony and reception in the same place. There was no need for guests to have to travel. The ambiance was exquisite and lovely.;We chose to have our ceremony on a weekday to cut costs. Make sure if you want extra time at the mansion you let them know as soon as possible that you want to pay for extra hours. You have to be out of the mansion by midnight or so. Also the bar can only be open for 4 hours.

Jodi R

The historic ambiance of the home matched our theme, the layout was perfect. They easily and quickly accomodated the change from outside to inside due to weather.;Since it is historic there are a lot of rules and restrictions as far as decorating goes.
