Mile High Station

Choosing Mile High Station for our wedding reception was a no brainer the moment we walked in, but working with Sarah is what really made this venue amazing! The exposed brick and iron was exactly the look we were going for and the large bar was an added bonus with a large guest count! There was plenty of room to have tables upstairs and down stairs while still having a large dance floor! Sarah was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and helped us ensure all of my family and our guest needs were taken care of! Thank you so much!!!

I work at Footers Catering, and on behalf of the Footers family, we love working at Mile High Station! The beautiful brick that comprises the venue makes the most gorgeous back drop for events of all kinds and the space is extremely versatile. Stephanie, Melissa, and Sarah are also wonderful for our team to work with from the initial walk through to the event itself, and you can't beat their well trained bartending team!

I would recommend finding another place to host your event. We just hosted our wedding at their space 2 weeks ago and completely regret it. When we originally toured the location with Sarah, we loved it. We booked on the spot after reviewing the initial contract. The terms of the contract were not meet at all. We got a threatening letter about 95 days out from our wedding saying we needed to pay 50% of the total due bill by 90 days out in order to continue to "secure your wedding date" and were required to provide $1 million liability insurance for each of our vendors. This was not agreed upon in our contract so came as a big surprise to us. The original contract was a 60 day out payment and there was no requirement for liability insurance. I called Melissa to clarify as we wanted to be sure we paid on time and could save our date. So close to our wedding date we didn't have any other venue options. When I questioned the change she yelled at me saying Mile High Station has the ability to change contracts at any time. I tried to explain to Melissa this was not a clause in the contract and that contracts needed to be signed by both parties to supersede the original contract. She would not have it and continued to yell at me. We decided, in the end, to pay the bill and move forward so we were out of luck on having a space to host our 200 person wedding. A month out from the wedding we had our walkthrough. We found during this walkthrough they were 27 chairs, and 5 banquet tables short of what was listed in the contract. This required us to rent additional tables and spend more money. We ended up using their ugly folding chair instead of the really nice "cherry wood" chairs included in their contract as they didn't have as many as agreed on and refused to purchase or rent the amount in the contract. During our rehearsal the night before the wedding I noticed there was a large charity event being set up for. I confirmed with our Sarah that the facility would be cleaned by 9 am on the next day. We had paid a lot of extra money to rent Mile High Station starting at 9 am instead of that afternoon. When I arrived at the space at 10 am on the wedding day there were broken beer bottles and confetti all over the floor. The bathrooms were completely trashed, empty of toilet paper and filled with empty glasses and beers. The assistant at Mile High Station in the morning got me on the phone with Stephanie. I requested that they send out a cleaning crew to make sure the place was set for our event as agreed upon in writing and verbally. Instead of offering assistance she told me that the place had been cleaned and that I was a liar and a "horrible bride". This was pretty rough to hear on the day that is supposed to be the best day of your life. I took pictures and offered to send them to her but she was not interested and instead spent time again yelling at me. Apparently, $6,000 to rent the space is not enough to have it cleaned. My mother, sister and I spent the morning cleaning the place. Do not expect any sort of customer service or a good experience with Mile High Station. They made me feel absolutely horrible in my wedding planning experience and brought on very stressful tears on the day of my wedding. There are many great and significantly more affordable places to work with in Denver. I recommend not working with Mile High Station.

Mile High Station is such a gem in Denver! We looked at a LOT of venues for our wedding - but we loved the industrial feel of Mile High Station and the space is SO functional. Very open layout with a lot of space, HUGE bar and lots of bathrooms (some venues we went to only had a few bathrooms). This was huge for us with our 115 guests - we didn't want to feel like people were cramped or were waiting in line for the bar or the bathroom. Another selling point is our wedding was a fall one - so because of this, I felt it may be risky going with a venue with outdoor attributes (I'm not really a Plan B type person) - so an indoor ceremony/reception was the best pick for us. Additionally, having the ceremony/reception in one place was AWESOME and made it so easy for our guests. We had our ceremony downstairs and our guests went upstairs for cocktail hour, and then back downstairs for dinner. The flow was just perfect. It's one of those spaces you don't have to dress up too much - it's just beautiful on its own. For photos - we went around the venue and just loved the brick industrial look (but if that's not your style and you're looking for a venue that's more in nature, MHS may not be the fit for you). The two women we worked with (Sarah/Melissa) were very accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process! The staff they had at the bar were excellent as well! Incredibly efficient and fast with such a big group. Many of our attendees were local, and they had never had the opportunity to see the venue and people were raving about it all evening! We are SO glad we chose MHS as our venue - no regrets! It was so beautiful!

Mile High Station was the perfect setting for our reception. The beauty of this location is that it can be transformed to almost anything you'd like it to be. It was a gorgeous backdrop for our vision. They are easy to work with and accommodating to your needs. The alcohol is a bit pricey, but everything else makes up for that. Great for parking needs as well. Highly recommend.

I was recently a guest at a wedding held here last Saturday. All in all, beautiful venue though it disturbed me that at the end of the evening we were yelled at to leave the premises. Tad tacky when spending that much on a beautiful elegant venue like this. This woman was bellowing for everyone to leave. Reminded me of being at a school dance. Could have been handled with a little more diplomacy. You never know who your guests are???

Mile High Station was the perfect venue for our Colorado-themed wedding. With such history and character, it is a special place to have a reception. The space itself is really neat – it has a mezzanine floor that overlooks the main area on the first floor. We had our cocktail hour up there and it was a great area to have our 300 guests enjoy beverages and h'ordeuvres before dinner. The main floor was able to hold our band, photo booth, a large dessert display, numerous tables, and guests without it being crowded or uncomfortable. We also didn’t have to spend a lot of money on décor as the building itself is already gorgeous. Melissa was professional and handled our every need. Our only recommendation would be double check that there are not any big events at the Broncos field (games, concerts, etc.) on the day/evening that you’re looking to book as MHS will not be able to hold your event. We highly recommend MHS!

The whole experience with Mile High Station was amazing, we worked with wonderful people on site and to top it the venue is truly unique!! You can make the space custom to your style! We received so many compliments about how wonderful the reception was. I would highly recommend this space!

My husband and I got married here in February 2016. The venue is striking and all of our guests commented on how unique and beautiful it was. It was great in terms of set up because it didn't take much decoration, we simply added a few clusters of plants to soften the space up a bit. The staff the day of our wedding were helpful, but certain things got forgotten like beverages for the boys as they got ready and the curtain I had requested to go around the bar during the wedding. Unfortunately these oversights were in line with how the whole planning process went. We had to ask very pointed question to get any answers, and even when we asked these questions we still didn't always get straight answers. Overall, I loved the way our wedding turned out, but it was an absolute headache to plan with Stephanie Walter. To other brides, I would tell you that this is a beautiful venue, but don't expect the planning to be seamless.

We held our wedding at Mile High Station. It is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue, especially for fall weddings. You can easily hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in one great place. Melissa was our point of contact and was very accommodating in many ways (rehearsal, numerous emails/questions). The bartenders/staff were great, and everything ran smoothly. I couldn't ask for a better wedding day. However, when I received our final bill, I lost some trust in their business. We were aware there was a 20% gratuity charge that goes with the alcohol bill in our signed contract, which seemed fairly standard. Yet, we inaccurately assumed that 20% gratuity would then be divided between the Mile High employees who worked the venue the day-of. However, we learned after the wedding that while it is called "gratuity" it's actually a house charge that the "day of" staff does not receive. (I'm grateful that we still brought cash to tip the bartenders on that night as well as our friends who tipped throughout the night). So from my perspective we gave their business a 20% tip on the alcohol we purchased from them, or they charged us 20% more for alcohol than we really thought. While I acknowledge Mile High can charge whatever they want, and however they want, I felt intentionally mislead about the verbiage of where my money was going. That in incredibly unfortunate, since we really enjoyed our night.

We had a wonderful wedding at Mile High Station!!! It's such a gorgeous place with all of the exposed brick and awesome lighting fixtures-very urban, which is exactly our style. Only downfall was having to wait for the Broncos schedule to come out before we could book the final date. But it worked out perfectly and the staff was great!!

We had an amazing experience having our wedding reception at Mile High Station. The venue is beautiful and is truly unlike anything else available in Denver. The catering options are vast and we were able to find exactly what we wanted. Our guests raved about the space--it is truly beautiful and one of a kind. We were also able to save a lot of money on flowers and decor because the space just doesn't really need anything extra. Loved it.

The venue was perfect for our big day. I definitely did not want to get married in a ballroom and this was the perfect alternative. The exposed brick was a wonderful backdrop for the ceremony and the industrial look was perfect. I will say however, the ladies that work in the office are not the "warmest" to deal with; however, our wedding planner dealt with them mostly. It didn't matter in the end because the venue was perfect for our big day

Love the atmosphere of this venue and our guests did too. They called it a true gem. They were great to work with and the day went smoothly. Would have another event there for sure

People raved about our venue after the wedding. It's the perfect place for ceremony and reception. Don't make your guests drive in between.

We had our ceremony and reception at Mile High Station. The space is great and perfect for a big crowd! The staff (Gina and Stephanie) were great to work with, very accommodating.

This venue provides a flair that most other venues just don't possess. The venue is unique itself and truly doesn't require much decoration. I actually think the less decorated, the better it is! We were able to create the perfect ambience for our dream wedding!

Mile High Station is a beautiful venue. The only hiccup I experienced was lack of communication in regards to the drink balance. As well as bartenders collecting funds when drinks were already paid for.

Mile High Station's brick walls, stained concrete floors and amazing chandeliers made this industrial style venue the perfect backdrop for our wedding. When my husband and I started our initial search for venues we made a list of about 10 places to go tour and Mile high station was the 2nd place that we visited. I remember walking in the doors and instantly just knowing that this place was perfect...that sounds cheesy but it's totally true. We never looked at any other place after that. It was so awesome!

We fell in love with Mile High Station the moment we saw it. In fact, it was the only venue we even looked at! Though they aren't very flexible in terms of your caterer (you have to choose from a specific list) or DJ (only one company is allowed to use their sound system) it's worth it because we were truly thrilled with those vendors as well. Mile High Station wants all weddings held at the venue to be high quality, mistake-free events and it shows in their contract, vendor options and overall service. We had absolutely no complaints and felt our wedding day was more than perfect. Thanks MHS!

Mile High Station is an absolutely beautiful venue. Held 160 guests perfectly - lots of space to move around without feeling cluttered. Would recommend this space to anyone that wants a blank space to make their own.

I loved having my wedding at Mile High Station. The staff was amazing to work with and the venue was just what we had invisioned when we were planning our wedding. Perfect location for an urban wedding!

Mile High Station is an amazing wedding venue, somewhat unknown in the heart of Denver. Located under I-25 and Colfax, the historic iron works building provides an amazing setting for an all-in-one for your wedding ceremony and reception. The architecture and exposed bricks on the interior provided the perfect backdrop to our vintage theme wedding, but would also lend itself to a great modern wedding, with very little additional decor required. The event manager was incredibly organized and thoroughly explained the rules of the venue, preferred caterers, bar options and made the experience very lovely. Between the caterer who already had an established relationship with Mile High Station, and the manager at MHS, we did not have any reason to hire a wedding planner - which was worth the cost of the venue. They have free parking for guests (unheard of in Denver) and even allowed guests to leave their cars overnight. I would highly recommend this venue - we got so many compliments from the guests on how great it was to have the ceremony and reception in one venue and how well the flow of the event was. I absolutely loved it!

This is such a beautiful venue and the staff was wonderful and very accommodating!

We had both our ceremony and reception here. The place is definitely large enough to accomodate a large number of people; we had a group of 100, and it felt perfect. We had set up a curtain to divide the ceremony space from the reception space, and it felt very intimate. The building has a great style on its own- it seems like you could make it more or less formal depending on your wedding vision- we had a fun, outdoorsy theme and it went over beautifully. I also liked their patio area by the bar where guests could hang outside if they wanted some fresh air. We got a lot of great feedback about Mile High Station from our guests. We worked with Dana over at MHS and everything went very smoothly. She was always easy to reach if we had a question, and very professional. They had worked with our other vendors (caterer, DJ, florist, cupcakes, etc) previously, so it was nice to know that there would be no logistical issues to worry about. Our out-of-town guests stayed downtown and Dana arranged for a few taxis at the end of the night. Everything went off without a hitch! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!

Toast glasses were filthy assistant manager said I have to eat and then I will replace them, bar staff tried to charge the mother of the bride for a glass of wine when we had an open bar for our guest and the organization was horrible. I tried to ignore it all because it was my wedding but they could have tried a little harder on their customer skills.

The Mile High Station was the perfect spot for our reception (we had a Steampunk theme for our wedding) so we closed our eyes and coughed up the money. It felt like they nickel-and-dimed us a little bit, since the place was already twice as expensive as everywhere else we looked, it seems like they could have given us a little extra set-up time for less than $150/hour. But, the wedding was a smash hit, and the location played a big roll in that. So it was worth it. And they were flexible with letting us set up large sculptures and such.

The staff was so much help, I wasn't worried about a thing! And my out of town guests thought this venue was incredible. No decorating required, the venue has spark all on its own. We did our wedding on a Friday too which was much cheaper and totally worth it.

We had a wonderful time at the MHS. We fell in love the the unique atmosphere and helpful wedding planner, Dana. We had a few hiccups the day of, but only little things that we noticed. Overall, amazing

We absolutely loved the aesthetics this venue. It was beautiful, and we received countless complements. The difficulty came with the staff. While they were mostly helpful, there were times when communication was unclear. We also felt the venue was a bit expensive, but what isn't anymore!?!

The venue is one of the most unique and beautiful in Denver if you are looking for a cool and modern wedding. The staff was very helpful in getting everything coordinated! We couldn't have been happier with the way everything turned out. Make sure to choose your alcohol package when signing the contract as prices can go up if you don't!
