We were recently married at Wellshire and we have nothing but positive things to say about it! From the very beginning, Sarah walked us step by step through everything and having her there as our wedding planner/coordinator was invaluable to our experience. It made everything so much easier/better!
The entire wait staff/bartenders were so polite and their service was excellent! They truly were on top everything the entire night!
We would choose this location again with zero hesitation. Food, drinks and dessert table were as good as advertised. Sarah did an amazing job setting everything up ahead of time (made it stress free). We received so many compliments from family and friends on how enjoyable of an evening it was and it's all do to the entire staff at Wellshire.
Highly recommend this venue and can't thank them enough for making our wedding celebration so incredible! We’ll never forget this day – it was so memorable.

We are so happy that we chose The Wellshire for our wedding venue! Sarah was very communicative, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Having someone who knew the ins and outs not only of the wedding industry but of our specific venue was so helpful. The Wellshire is absolutely gorgeous and we got so many compliments from friends and family, not only about the venue itself but about how smoothly our entire event was run. We highly recommend the Wellshire to anyone who is considering it for an event!

Sarah at the Wellshire and the venue as a whole made our wedding so easy and fun. Sarah was very hands-on during the planning process and thought of every little detail that we would not have remembered. The venue had getting ready spaces and lots of parking for guests, and pulled off our beautiful wedding even in the middle of a massive snowstorm. I highly recommend, especially if you don’t want to do a TON of different vendors-the food was great and so was the bar. Set-up on day of was perfectly handled. We just had the most amazing time, and Sarah was awesome.

The Wellshire was a fantastic place to hold our special day and I could not be happier with the results. Sarah was so helpful with the process from pre-planning all the way through the post-wedding pickup. The food was delish and the venue (and staff!) did a fantastic job accommodating us. Thank you Wellshire for your help making our wedding the beautiful send off for our lifetime together!

I’ve struggled with whether or not I should write this review but at the end of the day if it could help another bride I think it’s worth it. I fell IN LOVE with The Wellshire as soon as I saw it on The Knot. After touring and meeting Chris he was so open and honest I loved it even more. Cost was reasonable and it comes with a full time wedding coordinator? I was THRILLED. Sarah was amazing up until the day before and day of my wedding. Attention to detail seemed to just go out the window and she was IMPOSSIBLE to find the day of my wedding. The bride get ready room was so hot my mom almost passed out even with fans on, the groom and boys never got food that was promised to them, my ceremony was over quicker than expected but I could not find her ever to be told what was to happen next. (I don’t think it’s the bride & grooms job to do so you are so busy and so much going on you forget) I didn’t get all the pictures I wanted because I had no concept of the flow of time- wedding coordinator should help with that. The cherry on top is that they lost or gave my cake and topper to another bride- I’m so grateful I didn’t spend a fortune on them but it’s the principle. No effort was made to find them or even offer to compensate for them basically just stopped responding to me. The location and food were stunning and amazing so I don’t regret my choice I just wish things had gone smoother day of.

We had such a good experience this past weekend at the Wellshire for our wedding. Sarah, the coordinator, was so communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. She has a calming and patient demeanor that helps to ease any planning stress you may have. The venue provides a good amount of decor and provides in house food, which you cannot beat for a plated dinner. The food was wonderful and we got so many good comments from our friends and family. The venue provides such a cozy and unique vibe that you don't need to worry about many other decorations. The space speaks for itself. The bartenders and wait staff took really good care of our guests. We would recommend having any event at the Wellshire to any of our friends or family. Thank you for an unforgettable event!

The Wellshire was the perfect place for a wedding. Chris, the owner, was very straightforward during our initial meeting, which truthfully was blunt at first, but after seeing other venues we were drawn back to the Wellshire and what he had to offer. This place is beautiful and has a lot of unique character with its decor. There is so much room for the ceremony and reception that you never feel crowded. It's on a golf course so the pictures and views are really pretty. Sarah, the wedding coordinator, is so great and communicative. She answers emails promptly and is very organized. The food here is amazing! It was so hard for us to narrow down the menu for what we would offer at the wedding. The bar service was also great! Highly recommend the Wellshire for your wedding venue!

The Wellshire was the absolute best choice for our wedding! First, you have a meeting with the owner, Chris. He gives you all the info you need ans takes you for a tour. He doesn't upsell you. He tells it like it is. My husband and I greatly appreciated his honesty in that first meeting. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself.
Along with a gorgeous venue, you have a wedding coordinator. Ours was Sarah. She was on top of everything from the moment we signed our contract. Any question we had a long the way, she answered thoroughly and quickly. She coordinated our day perfectly. We cannot recommend the Wellshire enough. They truly know what they are doing, and if we had to do it over, I'd choose the Wellshire 100 times.

From the first visit it was clear that the Wellshire knows what they're doing when it comes to event planning. It was an easy decision to trust them with our wedding, especially since nearly everything (tables, linens, centerpieces, food, etc) is included. Sarah, their event planner, did a stellar job- she was communicative, friendly, and accommodated our requests to make our day even more special. We highly recommend!

I may add more her as I think of it, but my husband and I had an AMAZING wedding experience here! Sarah the wedding coordinator is a delight to interact with and very professional - she was on top of everything throughout our entire process, in both planning and execution.
The grounds of the event center are beautifully maintained and landscaped - it looks like a fairytale cottage when you first approach the venue. The photo opportunities would never have you thinking that a major roadway is only 20 feet away (the small bridges leading towards the golf course were particularly charming). The character of the building and the antiques showcased in many parts of the interior gave us a lot of room to cut costs on decor, so even on a slightly more modest budget, you can have a truly visually beautiful wedding here. They also offer a more modern tent add-on if you prefer that type of set up for your ceremony.
Any staff around when Sarah or the owner were not were super helpful and friendly. The layout is very walkable and for the most part, very accessible (the only complaint I have is that there is no elevator that leads to the bride's dressing suite, but he stairs up to it are only about a half a flight). The bridal suite for getting ready is spacious and absolutely gorgeous, and includes a bathroom, closet with safes, and lots of vanities and natural lighting to do makeup/hair in. The groom's room is much more modest, but includes a TV, and there are complimentary drinks and other refreshments for both rooms while the wedding party gets ready. Outside alcohol is not permitted, as with many venues, but they were courteous enough to fill an outside container for us (a flask that has made it to many other weddings as a family tradition).
For dining, no need to deal with a caterer - plated dinner is included with your contract (no large cake service, but they offer tasty dessert bar options). Our tasting experience was seamless and streamlined. The food was incredible, and with the appropriate amount of notice, the kitchen is very amenable to making accommodations for allergies and other dietary restrictions. The venue also offers a wide range of colored linens to customize your tables, so if you are able to find something that works for your theme, there's no need to deal with an outside vendor for those.
The only complaint I would have is that some of desserts we selected to be served were a little frozen still (one was a cheesecake and one was a raspberry mousse), but we also ordered a cake from elsewhere, and had other options from the venues that didn't have this issue. I still wouldn't take away a star for this small thing.
I would absolutely recommend this venue to others for their wedding.

The Wellshire is an absolutely beautiful and romantic venue. We had a November wedding and were floored by the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. Sarah Ringler was our day of coordinator and was an absolute dream. Bridal party and guests were even commenting on her demeanor and competency as she ensure our day went without a hitch. You always hear of some kind of drama or issue on a wedding day... we did not have a single incident! It was absolutely amazing and wonderful and we would recommend them to anyone considering a wedding of any size!

TL;DR the Sarah and the Wellshire team are incredible.
The Wellshire was absolutely amazing to work with and they made our wedding go so smoothly.
We planned our wedding from London, UK and we were able to lean on Sarah throughout the planning process and she's very organized in google drive. Her recommended vendor list was a really nice jumping off point and her other documents were super helpful.
The rehearsal the day before went really well and was great to have a walk through of exactly what to do. My mom (who organised all table decorations) was worried about having enough time to set up the day of and was very stressed about getting it done. Sarah and her team did a lot of the heavy lifting based on my mom's reference photos and my mom was able to spend most of her time in the bridal suite with me and was able to enjoy her morning stress free (can't thank you enough for that Sarah!).
On the day of, Sarah and her team helped everything stay on track by setting up décor, informing our guests of where to be, helping with the photographer, and answering soo many questions.
The food was also very good (slightly undercooked veggies but otherwise amazing)
We got so many compliments on the venue - many of our guests have lived in the area and had no idea it was here. The character of the building was what made us choose it.
Our wedding day was perfect. Nothing went wrong, everything was on track, and everything was very well done. Thanks Sarah!

We narrowed our venue down to 3 places and this one was the clear winner for many reasons. 1) The owner, Chris, was the one to give us the tour. He was an extremely honest, up-front, direct, and a very kind gentleman. He didn’t try to sell us anything we didn’t want. The price was very clear and reasonable, given all the amenities/features. 2) We LOVE food - we wanted a place that would make sure that no guest would leave hungry and use high quality ingredients. 3) We wanted flexibility on the alcohol, and we ended up going with house-selection of wine, beer, and liquor until we hit a certain amount. We could have done signature drinks, cash bar, open bar etc. but it was nice to have a lot of different options to fit our budget. 3) We worked with Sarah Ringler, one of the truly fabulous wedding coordinators, throughout the entire process. Let me tell you - she is AMAZING!! She was very communicative, helped me make many decisions (I’m very indecisive), hosted the most amazing tasting session for the wedding food, and was so easy to talk to. We had lots of last minute changes with guest count/seating, but I felt comfortable going to Sarah and talking with her through all the things that came up. We couldn’t have had a better day of coordinator - her professionalism, industry knowledge, kindness, approachability, and flexibility made her the most perfect coordinator! 4) We didn’t want to spend a lot of money on decorations/decor. Wellshire was so very perfect for this, because the venue has so much built-in character. We only had a wedding slideshow, pictures in photo frames (ones that were already in the house), a wooden “The Lees” sign from Etsy (reusable for our home after the wedding), and the DIY flowers for decor. 5) We wanted a place with a bridal and grooms suite. Both rooms opened at noon and had light snacks and champagne/beer available. 6) There were many ceremony options for us to pick from - we went with the Windsor room because it was perfect for our guest count and was so beautiful inside. 7) This place is 30 minutes from DIA, which was perfect since most guests were flying in from out of state.
Overall, highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a seamless wedding planning process with the most incredible wedding coordinator (go Sarah!) AND beautiful venue that is close to downtown and the airport.

TLDNR: Excellent venue with two caveats: Try the booze ahead of time and get your own wedding planner.
We did our ceremony at Cheesman pavilion, and then our reception at the Wellshire.
**Alcohol:** They have an extensive wine distribution list, but the Wellshire won’t send you a full menu, so you have to source your own wines. Once you tell them the wine you like, they will tell you the pricing. The house wines are low quality and expensive. Kim Crawford Chardonnay for $36 is outrageous. My whole family are big wine drinkers and so it was important to us to have good wine.
This concern was compounded by the fact that the wedding coordinator did not communicate about the alcohol deadline until about 4 weeks out. At that point, there was almost no time left. I was put in touch with their beverage manager, Todd, on 4/20/23 and our wedding was on 5/13/23. By 5/4/23 he said he was unable to source additional wines. While this was reasonable, I would have expected to be notified and reminded about this deadline starting in December (at our tasting) about what we would need to do in order to get different wines. No one had mentioned a deadline previously.
We ended up buying probably $100-$150 of wine to see which wines we actually liked in order to make a good selection with the food. Be aware that you will definitely want to do this, unless you want to drink their house wines (Woodbridge). You can go to the golf club any day to try the different wines, which my fiancé and I did. With the exception of the Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon. the wines are about as drinkable as airplane wine. In retrospect, going to the golf club and drinking the wine as soon as you book the venue is the way to go. That way, you know exactly what you’re getting.
Fortunately, Chris, the owner, was able to help us source our own alcohol despite the short notice and we were very relieved. In the end, we ordered Josh Pinot Grigio ($36/bottle), 2021 Josh Legacy Red Blend ($36/bottle), and the 2021 Bread and Butter Chardonnay ($44/bottle) and we got a much better wine for roughly the same price. Chris went above and beyond to make sure we got the wine we wanted. To me, the mark of a good business is how quickly they can rectify mistakes, and they certainly did that.
**Wedding Planner** I would also recommend getting your own wedding planner. I did that five months before my wedding (shout out to Rachael Marie Weddings) and that was a godsend. While the wedding planner at the Wellshire is excellent on the day-of, I was very happy that I had Rachael the whole day, and she definitely had plenty to do. She even helped thinking about where the most strategic places to put the DJ was, which definitely helped with the flow between the two rooms. Since the Wellshire is doing multiple back to back weddings weekly, they simply don’t have the time to fully plan your wedding, regardless of what is advertised.
However, despite these caveats, I would definitely use the Wellshire again for our wedding. The venue was done up to the nines, it looked fabulous. Food came out hot, drinks were flowing, and it was a great party. I was a little worried that it would be weird to have two wedding planners, but their wedding coordinator, Sarah, worked seamlessly with my wedding coordinator on the day of.
Overall, I was very happy with our reception and would recommend the Wellshire.

We had such a fabulous wedding! All the planning and prep and execution was just amazing! Sarah was a dream to work with from start to finish. She happily answered every single email I sent her (there were probably a hundred!!) And she was there every step of the way on wedding day. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Sarah and the whole Wellshire team!!

Our wedding was on 09/06/2022. The Wellshire was perfect! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Since there was no even the night before, we were able to bring all of our decorations the day before. We did our best to set up as much as we could. The next day, we got married in the morning at a different location. Pictures took longer than expected and on the hour drive down to the Wellshire, I was stressed that there would not be enough time to finish setting up. When I walked in, I was amazed! The staff and coordinator, Sarah, had set everything up. It was a wonderful surprise!
Sarah was great. She was a lot of help and really made sure that things went smoothly. She is also incredibly kind. All of the staff was kind.
The food was also amazing. I had the salmon with sweet chili sauce and it was delicious. During the tasting, we didn't try it but took a leap of faith and put it on the menu. I'm glad we did.
When decorating, I highly suggest bringing in furniture for the lounge area. It made the room feel warm and homey. All of my guests also loved the wedding and said everything was beautiful. Looking for a place to have your wedding? The Wellshire is it!

The Wellshire was the best venue I could have hoped for for my wedding. It's an absolutely stunning, rustic, building on a beautiful golf course, and the owner really tries to take care of his clients. Most of the staff is absolutely fantastic, and I love that the venue is all-inclusive-- the things I had to provide is my own decor, a photographer, a videographer, a DJ, and the officiant. All the day-of staff, coordination, and food came from The Wellshire. From the guest's perspective, everything went absolutely perfectly. From the bride's perspective, there were definitely things (coordination related) that needed work, but I had a great time anyway. Best day ever!

Our wedding on 7/23/22 was wonderful, most thanks to the Wellshire! Kacey was fantastic to work with, answered every question we had, and took the time to help our vision come to life. We wanted an "all-inclusive" when it came to food/beverage/venue and the Wellshire delivered, leaving all our guests happy and having the time of their lives! The day went off without a hitch. If I were to host another wedding, I would 1000x over do it at the Wellshire again!

The Wellshire is hands down a spectacular venue choice! When we were looking for a venue for our wedding, we knew we wanted something unique and full of character. From the moment we stepped foot into the front door, we both knew this was it! The historic value of the venue really shines when its full of the people you care the most about. It truly was gorgeous. Sarah Ringler, the venue coordinator, is a literal angel. She was amazing to us and was right by our side leading up to the wedding and the day itself. The entire Wellshire Staff is so thoughtful, caring and flexible! Our guests were blown away by the venue, the service and the food! We are so happy to have worked with The Wellshire for our wedding & would recommend it to any couple who is looking for a timeless & romantic venue full of character!

The Wellshire is a gorgeous, conveniently located venue here in Denver, and we would highly recommend having your wedding there! The space is lovely- it has lots of historic charm, but it has also been very well updated and maintained. We looked at 8 different venues in the Denver area before booking, and this one was by far our favorite. We met with Chris, the owner, and he did a great job explaining everything, answering all of our questions, and talking up the food.
Throughout the wedding planning process (including postponing a year due to COVID uncertainties), Kacey was a huge help. As our day-of coordinator, she made sure the planning and our day ran very smoothly. The Wellshire’s recommended vendor list was also a huge help. You can use whoever you would like for your vendors, but we chose all of our’s from their list (although we did research a lot of other vendors too), and we were so pleased with every single one! The food did not disappoint either- we loved it, and it got lots of compliments from our guests. The Wellshire was the only venue that we looked at that makes their food on-site, and it really showed! We could not have asked for a better venue or wedding!

We fell in Love with the charming, old building (beautiful stained glass windows, wooden beams & floors, fireplaces, exposed brick, mountain views across the golf course) but we were sold by the convenience of having almost everything included (catering & bar with staff, chairs, plates, linens, signs, set up, clean up). Owner Chris tried to talk us OUT of all the additional expenses, like an open bar or unnecessary decorations, and he gave credit for the excellent reviews to his *salaried* staff. Kacey & Sarah were both helpful, organized, and friendly venue contacts. Our guests keep telling us how impressed they were with the food and service!

We recently hosted our wedding at the Wellshire Event Center, I would not recommend using this venue. The venue is beautiful and the wedding was fun but the planning process was a nightmare. Our coordinator Kacey was disorganized and difficult to communicate with. Days before the wedding we could not get ahold of her to discuss logistics for our DJ and decor. I was also extremely disappointed with the quality of the food.

Thinking back on our July 31, 2021 wedding, one word comes to mind: Magical. The Wellshire Inn and their staff, Kacey and Sarah, were the magicians that made it possible. We were a Covid-affected wedding, with our original date in November 2020. While everything was going on, the Wellshire was incredibly easy to work with in making new arrangements for our July 2021 postponement. They took a stressful situation and made it as stress free as you can in these times, and to that we are truly grateful.
Beyond that, when we finally got to our day, everything was absolutely perfect. This was of course because of their expertise in planning. As a full-service venue, they covered everything with us without it ever getting overwhelming. Then, the day of all we had to do was show up and have fun! They setup everything as asked, the food was delicious, the space was beautiful, and everything went off without a hitch. Cannot thank Kacey, Sarah and the staff enough for helping make it the best day ever!

You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding at the Wellshire! They have it together! We first met with Chris, who by far did the best job of explaining all the Wellshire has to offer and how they operate, and provided a complete, custom quote with various options within one hour of our meeting. Then we worked with Kacey - absolutely the best! Great ideas, great communication (despite COVID), and she and her staff worked hard to make our day perfect! She truly understood what we wanted our day to be, and they brought that vision to life! All of our guests had a great time, and they all said the food was great! We highly recommend that you check them out!

Overall, the Wellshire is an excellent venue for just about any occasion, but especially a wedding. Just about everything is included in the total price (i.e., linens, tables/chairs, food....which was delicious and plentiful), on-site coordinator, etc. Not to mention the overall beauty of the facility itself, which saves the need for an abundance of extra décor. We reserved the whole venue for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Covid-19 threw a bit of a monkey wrench into things for a minute, but they did a great job adapting to the changes, and helping us to make the necessary adjustments for our big day, which still turned out beautifully! We didn’t encounter even one unfriendly person on the staff – everyone was very gracious and professional. Of course, no venue is perfect so, there were some small snafus here and there. Most were just small annoyances which were completely forgivable. One issue, however, was pretty major, and is the primary reason for the 3 star rating that I am giving them here. We had two cakes...a 3-tier cake, which was our primary cake....the one that was to be served to the guests, and we had a sheet cake, which was an overflow cake, ONLY to be used if the primary cake ran out. Guess which cake the staff decided to serve? Busy mingling and enjoying our reception and guests, we had no idea what had happened until the end of the night, when the coordinator finally brought it to our attention. We ended up having to take our entire 3-tier cake (huge cake) home with us (see pic.) The only slice taken from it was the one that my husband and I cut for the pictures! Having nowhere to store a cake of that size, we spent the next few days cutting up and peddling cake to our friends and family. Not fun at all....and a huge waste of money! So, for future reference, if you should use this venue, you will likely be pleased, but please know that the every single detail....from where certain items should be placed, to how the cake will be served....should be discussed with the coordinator. Don’t do what we did and assume that they should know better, considering that they’re one of the top wedding venues in the city and that they’ve done this million times. Better safe than stuck with cake!

Dear Shanta, I am so sorry for the miss communication with your cake and personally apolog...
ize. In my 9.5 years of experience, I was always trained to cut the sheet cake first so there is cake ready for guests immediately after cake cutting (especially with a large cake that can take longer to cut). I went back and checked my notes to make sure I did not miss a specific communication from you in this regard. I did not find anything but again my deepest apology. While I am glad the rest of the wedding went well, I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations on the cake cutting. I will definitely add this to my “Check points” for each future wedding as we strive to continue to be the very best. Best wishes to you and Michael.

We hosted our wedding at the Wellshire Event Center this fall, and it went perfectly! From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner and dancing, we were very pleased and have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the space. It was so helpful to have Kacey as our event coordinator through every step of the process, especially working with all of our other vendors on the day of. We especially loved that we were able to bring our own decorations- pictures, etc. and have Kacey and her team set them up for us. The food and beverage selection was also very good and we appreciated that we were able to customize the menu choices. We would highly recommend this venue!

The Wellshire was an amazing venue that I would recommend to everyone! The venue is beautiful!! It is so nice for everyone that everything is in one building--ceremony and reception. My guests raved about the food which came out hot and good. Chris is amazing and quick to respond. Our special day could not have been more perfect.

My husband and I actually found the Wellshire from these reviews on the knot. We saw all the good words and thought, well we should atleast check it out. I am GLAD we did check it out! I can not say enough great words about my experience at the Wellshire. From the moment we met with the manager, we knew that our wedding would be spectacular. The staff is beyond helpful and professional. Kacey was the most helpful wedding coordinator, she made the day even better!!! The venue has a lot of the little details covered, like catering and linens, so my husband and I did not have to think about the little details. The food was delicious and people keep raving about weeks later. I recommend the mashed potatoes, they were my favorite!!! We got married in the glass room and the pictures are gorgeous, I can not wait to frame them! Everything, and I mean everything about our wedding was amazing thanks to the Wellshire. They think of everything you may need and want and create an unforgettable experience. I would recommend this venue to every single engaged couple. Thank you Wellshire for the most amazing wedding!!!

We hosted our wedding reception at the Wellshire on January 3rd, 2020. We toured the Wellshire, among several other venues, but were immediately very impressed by the space, the affordable pricing, as well as the professionalism of the staff and the services available to us through the venue. The staff were very honest and gave us lots of good tips and advice based on their event planning experience; they advised us on how to do things in a cost-effective way, rather than pushing more expensive options that would only be of benefit to them. We felt very comfortable knowing that our needs would be met and that our best interest was being upheld when working with Wellshire staff. Included in the price of the venue was Kacey, the on-site coordinator extraoordinaire, who was so helpful and truly instrumental in planning the details of the reception. Our reception went off without a hitch and was so beautiful. The staff were friendly, professional, and took good care of us and our guests. The food was exquisite and all of the guests complimented how delicious everything was. We had approximately 190 guests and had plenty of space for the cocktail hour, seated dinner, and dancing with all of the different spaces the venue has to offer. We cannot think of one thing to complain about and are so happy that we entrusted the Wellshire with our big day! We HIGHLY recommend this venue if you are looking for a perfect setting for your wedding! Thank you so much Kacey and the Wellshire staff, for making our day something we will look back on fondly!

Our wedding day at the Wellshire was everything we could have asked for and more. Kacey and team were on top of everything, and our wedding went off without a hitch. Kacey helped us stick to our wedding day timeline and kept the bridal party organized. I was also so impressed with the decorating of the space. I just handed Kacey my box of decorations, and she decorated the venue better than I could have ever thought to! The staff handled all the clean up, and all we had to do was come back the next day and pick up any of the remaining decorations we wanted - so easy! The food was great, the service was great, and all of our family commented on what a beautiful venue it was. I would definitely recommend the Wellshire to any couple!

The Wellshire was negligent. They lost my guestbook.
I told them my guestbook (and accompanying Fujifilm cameras and film) were missing when I picked up my wedding decorations after my Oct 2019 wedding. They insisted friends or family must have it.
I checked with family and friends. Nobody had it. My florist was one of the last people at my wedding reception, and she said she offered to pack up my guestbook and bring it to me. Wellshire staff told her they would take care of it all.
They did not.
My only guess is that the Wellshire either
A. Misplaced my guestbook, cameras and film.
B. Sent my guestbook, cameras and film home with another bride by accident.
C: Accidentally threw away my guestbook, cameras and film.
D: Took the cameras. In this scenario, the guestbook probably ended up in the trash.
Considering clean up was included in the price of the venue...and that I was paying Wellshire staff to take care of things...none of these options are acceptable.
Avoid the heartache. Avoid the Wellshire.

The Wellshire is a beautiful and convenient venue with an amazing venue coordinator. Kacey was a joy to work with and paid careful attention to every detail. She did a great job handling our parents and other vendors too. The building has a lovely flow to it for both the guests and the couple. Our guests loved it everything about the Wellshire, and the food and drinks were perfect as well.

The Wellshire is a beautiful location to host any function - and was perfect for our wedding! We had already looked at a few other locations and were dismayed at the set-up/clean-up restrictions, the food/catering restrictions, and the overall cost of what places were wanting to charge and what they were willing to provide. Wellshire did require that they cater the event, but Chris won us over when he told us that we could invite multiple rugby teams and we wouldn't run out of the hor d'oeuvres or desserts! Kacey was our onsite coordinator and SUPER nice. The food was fantastic - and I have to mention Olga because she was my superhero that day! She made sure to bring my husband and me each tray of the different hor d'oeuvres to ensure that we were eating throughout the reception! Since we had it on a Sunday, we had the venue to ourselves. They let us drop off the decorations the day before and pick everything up the day after - HUGE benefit! We had plenty of room to get ready in the separate bride and groom suites; have the ceremony in the Windsor Room; cocktail hour in the Onyx Lounge; the photo booth, games, and creative corner in the Cambridge Room; and the reception in the Rocky Mountain Pavilion. Plus, we had a beautiful patio and view to enjoy the evening air! I had tons of feedback from our guests about how great the venue was - so I would definitely recommend 100%!!!

Having our wedding at the Wellshire was an amazing experience. From the beginning, we felt confident and comfortable that they are able to execute a flawless event. They were flexible with the personalizations we requested and handled all the small details without issue. With the help of their on site coordinator (yay Kacey!), we didn't need additional help to ensure everything went smoothly.

Firstly, it is amazing to think about all the logistics that go into the wedding day itself and thus all that needs to be considered and communicated leading up to the day of. All the little things that could go wrong and all the details that need to be considered are overwhelming a lot of the time. Aside of being a stunning venue with amazing food, the Wellshire knows exactly what they are doing. It is a beautiful and unique breath of fresh air that is worlds away from the standard convention hall or rustic farm wedding. They are extremely experienced and have seen so much that they know exactly how to handle any situation. Chris, the owner, cuts to the chase and will tell you exactly what you need to consider and think about. He knows his stuff and it is extremely valuable and helpful to listen to what he has to say.
Now on to Kacey, the coordinator. No words can be said to truly capture what she did for us. No matter how prepared you are or how organized.. the day of is nerve wracking. Of all the people we worked with (vendors and all) she was the most pleasant, knowledgeable, detail-oriented and fantastic. She was responsive, helpful and reassuring and a true gem. She was a comfort to us throughout the entire planning process and we couldn’t be happier to have her there for us. I was in awe of her - during the rehearsal me and my loved ones were spitting out last minute, frantic details and requests to her for when, where, what.. all the things. She didn’t write any of it down and in the back of my head, I thought “oh god.. there’s no way she’ll remember any of this”. Well... she did. She was there for us every single second of the way and a huge factor in making our day perfect. She was a comfort and a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier.

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue than the Wellshire. We loved that they provided so many services so we didn't have to look for other vendors for catering, bar, rentals, event coordinator, etc. Considering how many venue spaces charge you thousands of dollars for the space alone, the Wellshire saved us an incredible amount of money and stress. Kacey was wonderful to work with as our event coordinator. She was very responsive and had answers to even my most nitty gritty questions. On top of all that, the venue itself is beautiful from the bridal suite, to the ceremony and reception sites, to the grounds. I could not recommend the Wellshire highly enough!

The Wellshire Events Center is a beautiful setting for a wedding but we had severe complications with this venue and are unable to give them high ratings.
If you are considering using this venue:
Please understand no matter what you hear there will be other events held simultaneously, large banners and signs will be posted in the parking lot with directions to the other events, and there maybe wedding crashers from these events.
Understand that there will likely be disappointments with this venue or promises not delivered (for us it was no Tv monitors for the slideshow that had been provided by the bride and groom) and in discussing it with Chris you will experience a lack of concern or you will be blamed.
Do check the health inspection reports from the city and county of Denver and do know you will be a accused of fabrication and of making a”serious accusation” if you confront this venue about upsetting sightings of rodents.
Do not take alcohol into the bride’s or groom’s room or it will be taken and not returned. Be sure well intended groomsmen and bridesmaids are aware of this policy as it is not posted anywhere. You, as the bride and groom, will be the only ones aware of this policy.
This is not an inexpensive venue. Understand that even though you are paying a good amount for this venue , you are not guaranteed a problem free wedding. You won’t be entitled to any type of sincere response from the Head of this venue, Chris. Also be prepared for additional charges on the day of the wedding.

We had an amazing time at the Wellshire Event Center for our wedding.
Kacey was a miracle by helping us plan everything to make the day perfect. We were blown away by how smooth the day of actually happened. Without her I feel like it may have led to a disaster.
The food was absolutely amazing and finally getting to see the decorations we brought in setup made the day even better.

Our wedding at the Wellshire was above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. The food was top notch (which was super important to us) and the staff at the Wellshire was amazing to work with. We are out of town planners and Kacey, the wedding coordinator at the Wellshire, made it so easy to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. We honestly could not have had a better day and it is all thanks to the Wellshire family! Highly recommended for your wedding :)

The Wellshire was by far the best venue we found and the best price. The fact that it includes so many little things was an big time saver. The venue comes with a wedding planner too, which is AMAZING!!! Kacey was so helpful throughout the entire process, between offering up suggestions for vendors, ideas for ceremony, etc.
We found out that there would be another event the same day as our wedding, which at first really concerned us, however day of, the other event wasn't an issue at all. Honestly none of our guests even know about it.
Food was amazing and staff went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable!

We looked at several venues before finding the Wellshire. We wanted a low stress wedding, and a venue that did a lot of the work for us-- The Wellshire did just that! Kacey was our day of coordinator, and she was wonderful! She answered all of our questions and was very responsive, she really made all of our ideas come to life. The food, drinks, lighting, everything was handled and everything was great quality! We did not have to worry about setting anything up, clean up, or anything in between!
We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the Wellshire. Our guests had a wonderful time and raved about how great the venue was. We had use of the entire venue, and it was everything we could have wanted! It was a great value and I'm so glad we chose to have our wedding at the Wellshire!

The food and service on the day of was great as well! We only wished we could have had more time to enjoy everything. I would highly recommend the Wellshire for a wedding venue! All of our guests raved about how fun and beautiful everything was. Thank you for making our most special day one of the best of our lives!!

We could not have been more pleased with our wedding at the Wellshire! We searched high & low for cost-efficient venues, and when we initially met with Chris and toured the Wellshire, we were impressed with ALL that they had to offer. From the ceremony & reception spaces to the food, linen selections, and having an on-site wedding coordinator, this was by far the best choice! Since we had a ton of out-of-town guest we also wanted to have everything in one space for convenience. The Wellshire was like a "one-stop shop" providing everything needed for a fantastic wedding! Kacey, our wedding coordinator, was wonderful, and kept us on track throughout the planning process & was always prompt at getting back to us regarding any questions we had. She printed our place cards and uploaded a photo slideshow for us that ran during the cocktail hour & reception which, ALL our guests commented on and loved. Not one hiccup was had during our wedding. The day ran smoothly, and Kacey kept everyone on track from lining up for the ceremony to herding guests for family photos. We HIGHLY recommend the Wellshire for anyone seeking an all-inclusive wedding venue!!

I would highly recommend The Wellshire Event Center to anyone! You really get what you pay for with this place!
We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception here, spread out through the whole facility. There are many beautiful spaces, the food is incredible, and the service is amazing. Kacey was our wonderful planner and day of coordinator, and she did awesome! She really knew what she was doing and executed our vision perfectly. We even gave her all our decor the day before the wedding and the next day when we arrived, it was all setup! We received food and drinks for the bridal party upon arrival in the morning, which was nice as no one had to leave to go pick-up lunch! She even helped meet and coordinate with our vendors (DJ, Cake, Floral, and Officiant- the only vendors you'll need outside of the Wellshire). Everything is all inclusive (wedding coordinator, flatware, linens, lighting, food, etc.) which was perfect for us, as we did not want a multitude of different vendors (way easier!)
It was an absolute dream. This venue is beautiful, timeless, romantic, and fun! If you want a stress free wedding that people will talk about for years to come- this is the place. Thank you Kacey and Wellshire staff for everything!

We couldn't have found a better place to celebrate our happily ever after at. From the moment I saw the Wellshire I knew I wanted to get married there. They have different options for ceremony sites and reception rooms. The build is so elegant, cute, and has a historic feel, yet modern in others. We chose to get married outside and brought in our own arch, they were very accommodating and were willing to help with anything and everything. We had our reception in the glass room with the chandlers and it was beautiful. Everything about our wedding day was perfect and people are still taking about our wedding day and venue a few months after. Our pictures turned out great, and overall our experience with the Wellshire was outstanding. I truly wish I could relive the whole process, and day because it was so easy and fun.

The Wellshire is the best value in the Denver area. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was. The food was also great.
The best part though was that the coordinator (Kacey) is a complete rock star. I felt so comfortable with her, and she was integral in making sure the whole thing went off without a hitch... literally nothing went wrong. Great job to the whole team!

The Wellshire Event Center was perfect for our wedding in July 2018. Kendra was our event coordinator and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to plan and run our wedding. The communication was flawless each step of the way. The food was amazing and the staff is nothing short of professional. It was great to find a venue that includes all of the main items that you need eliminating having to find additional vendors. Our entire day was perfect thanks to everyone at the Wellshire Event Center!

While the overall day turned out beautiful, there was some stress along the way as my original wedding coordinator didn't communicate with me as timely as I would have liked, and then quit a week before the wedding. The new coordinator was an even better fit for me though and the day was wonderful!

We had our wedding at the Wellshire in July 2018. Everything was perfect! We were looking for a venue that would make wedding planning easy as we both work long hours and The Wellshire fit the bill! The venue is beautiful and does not need much decor. We just had our florist make center pieces and that was it! The food was great! Kendra, the coordinator we worked with, was amazing! I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Where do I begin. From start to finish the Wellshire helped make our wedding perfect! I was an easy bride and didn't want to have to do much or coordinate with many people, the Wellshire made this possible. We worked with Kendra and she was great, always there to answer questions and help us out whenever we needed. During the wedding day she was there to help us out even when we had no idea what we were supposed to be doing, she made they whole even run smoothly. We also got to work with Mike who took over when Kendra left for the evening. He was wonderful too! Always asking how I was and if we were having fun when I saw him and he kept us up to date on our alcohol budget and let us know when we reached our limit.
The Wellshire is a stunning venue! And having our wedding on a Sunday we had the whole venue to ourselves which was beyond amazing! The venue didn't need much added decoration at all. We had our ceremony in the tent with an arch they provided which we put some garland around and it was perfect. The reception was in the other large room with lots of windows (I forget the name) and it was arranged beautifully. The food here was delicious as well. Our guests were so impressed with the venue and the food its all we heard about! The waitstaff was nice and fun too, we even got some to dance with us at the very end of the night.
I highly recommend the Wellshire to anyone, especially on a Sunday. They provide everything at a very affordable rate and you get the venue for much longer than other places offer. It has a great location too making it easy for in town and out of town guests to find.
There was only one thing that could have been improved on, in our contract it says each room (bride a grooms rooms) would get a finger sandwich tray and 6 beers (for the guys) and champagne (for the girls). This was never brought in. Me and my girls were hungry so we asked about the snacks and we got a fruit and cheese tray which was delicious but no champagne and they boys didn't get anything. Just make sure you ask for those if you want them otherwise you won't get them. It wasn't a big deal to us since we didn't need anymore to drink but just something to keep in mind if you book here and want it. It is a minor thing and everything else went great so it didn't bother us.

BEST VENUE EVER!!! We got married here Sunday April 8th, 2018. I cannot say enough good things about the Wellshire. Sunday is the day to get married. From 2p on we had the entire place to ourselves, and the Bride and Grooms suites from noon on. Kendra was our coordinator and she was so helpful and patient with me. I had a million questions and she answered them all in a timely manner. I love the whole building. The decorations and style and history all made it a very fun place to have our big day. I had so many comments on how amazing it was. Even the bathrooms are awesome!! And The food was Incredible! We had so many positive comments on it all. Best crab cakes and homemade chips with steak we've ever had. Although I missed out on those the day of because of pictures. Everything came out fast and hot and delicious, and the word was there were only two chefs cooking on our night. The rest of the staff was so amazing and helpful. At the end of the night they were off to the side dancing which was so fun. They all worked so hard and still seemed like they really were having a good time. I was confused on the rooms and thought we were supposed to have the ceremony in the tent when they had it set for the Windsor room. They were so nice and accommodating though and let us change it with no problem. So we got married in the Mountain View Pavilion (the tent) and it was perfect. Had a nice view and it was elegant and comfortable. We had a Disney themed wedding and they surprised us with clips of Disney couples and weddings on the TV screens in our cocktail and reception area. That was such a nice surprise. Our reception was in the Cambridge room and they decorated it better than I ever imagined. I gave them 4 totes of decor and 6 boxes of decorated bottles to use and they made it absolutely magical. They even hung my lanterns, best $50 ever spent!! We got to have the bridal suite at noon and it was so fun. It's such a beautiful are, it was big enough to accommodate all of our people and they had champagne and a fruit and cheese tray for us. The Wellshire seriously made this the most Amazing day I've ever had. I want to do it again and again because they made it so easy and flawless!!

Choosing the Wellshire as our venue was a great decision. Kendra, our coordinator was fantastic! From day one, she was professional and prompt with our communication. Our wedding had about 165 in attendance and everyone had a blast. We had the ceremony in the glass room overlooking the golf course and our reception in the other large room. The food was delicious and served warmed. The setting was perfect. Thanks Kendra!!
