My team and I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding at Upper Larimer this past Friday and our experience was nothing short of great!
It is such a beautiful venue with great staff who understand the importance of communication and teamwork. It was such a breeze piv...
oting from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception as their venue has space for it all = a planners dream!
The Grand Parlor is that added bonus space where the bridal party can hang out and get ready, taking my worries of having them stuck in traffic on wedding day!
We truly appreciate their great communication, flexibility and ensuring that together, we made this couples wedding day a great experience.

Such a beautiful venue right in the heart of downtown! Be sure to utilize their house for getting ready pictures and the patio for cocktail hour! Not much decor was needed. The staff was great too! Sonia was very thorough! Additionally, Sonia & Chad had the best recomme...

Sonia was a great help in assisting my wife and I plan our wedding ourselves. She was very detailed and even had a nice little program to generate floor layout. If possible, we suggest getting the add-on house for the bridesmaids and wedding parties to get ready and tak...

Wedding planning is a stressful experience and having the perfect venue makes all the difference. Upper Larimer truly has made our wedding special and went above and beyond what we could have asked for.
The management has clearly shown how experienced they are, by givi...
ng us advice on how to have the best wedding possible. They helped us figure out important details like how to hang a ceiling piece and give us ideas on our ceremony/reception layout.
The house that is included with the venue was so beautiful and is the perfect place to get ready in for our big day. It added a level of comfort to get ready in a house versus a hotel room.
On the day of the wedding, I was able to see the management there who has helped us from the beginning. Knowing that they knew the plan and has been a crucial part in creating it, reassuranced that our wedding will go well. Upper Larimer is great at what they do and you will not be disappointed if you have your event here.

This vendor is awesome! They are quick to answer emails with all of my questions. They allow me to view the venue for planning purposes and to show family and friends whenever I need to which is so helpful with the planning process.

I can not say enough great things about this venue! My husband and I were put in quite a bind a week before the wedding where another venue double booked and kicked us to the curb… Sonia and Chad luckily came to the rescue and pulled off our small intimate wedding makin...

From start to finish, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and successful partnership with Chadd, Sonia and their team at Upper Larimer. We looked at nearly every venue in the Denver metro area about 15 months before our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with...
our choice after getting married this October! Chadd and Sonia provided extensive details about the venue and allowed us to come visit as many times as we requested. We got to see the space being set up for another wedding, we brought our friends and family to see it when they visited town and our vendors were welcome to check it out prior as well! Leading up to the wedding, we felt like they gave us all of the support we could have asked for and more. We made adjustments to the space and personalized it exactly how we wanted. On wedding day, Chadd served as so much more than the owner of the venue. He supported our planner, helped set up and tear down, worked collaboratively with our vendors and helped avoid big mishaps. Everyone of our guests raved about the venue, its outdoor space and its authentic nature. Our photos have turned out incredible, thanks in part to location of the space! We feel so grateful to have found Upper Larimer for our wedding and absolutely recommend you using them for your next event!

Whenever we encountered an issue with our event, the staff at the Upper Larimer were less than helpful. When we asked to reschedule our event, I received a one word or at most a one sentence response. I felt that once they had us locked into a contract that they had no ...
desire to help us to make our event what we wanted. On the day of the event, their day of coordinator was not helpful. He did not abide by our wishes in any way. When the event occurred, at first we had the space “for 24 hours”. When it occurred, they held a wedding the morning of our event and made us wait outside while it finished. When the dancing started, they left all of the lights on. I cannot recommend this venue at all other than the fact that it is a nice space.

ompared to other similar vendors we looked at, Upper Larimer far exceeded them in the quality of the space, cost, and flexibility to do things our way. I highly recommend them!

Upper Larimer is a beautiful and charming city venue! The exposed brick inside along with chandeliers gives a romantic vibe of industrial and elegance. The attached Victorian house bridal suite was worth adding on to our rental package as it made the perfect location an...
d had a home and warm ambiance feel for whole bridal party. Chad and Sonia were a wonderful team to work with when planning our wedding of over 200 this past September. They both were great communicators with myself and our wedding planner. They did a great job making sure we had everything neccessary to have a fun and succesful wedding. Their venue is gorgeous, we loved the location right in the Rino district also our guest appreciated it as well. Being centrally located everyone was able to make it as well as uber to and from the wedding. The patio was a perfect place for our passed apps and band during post ceremony hour. I definetly reccomend using this venue. My wedding was AMAZING!

Upper Larimer's event space is truly beautiful! We got married there in October and had so many guests compliment the space. Everything is extremely well maintained from the landscape, to the outdoor patio, to inside venue. I loved the brick walls and chandelier. The Ho...
use next door was the perfect spot for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in. We had the flexibility to choose and bring in all of our vendors. Our wedding had 115 people and it worked perfectly. The space comes with moveable wooden walls which makes it super flexible for any size or type of group. One thing I would double check is who is working the event in terms of the security guard. The venue requires one and I believe they hire them through a third party. I would just ask the venue how many events they have worked and if it has been satisfactory. Other than that - the space will not let you down. The billing and contract process was easy and straight forward.
