5. Moss
200 Santa Fe Dr, Denver, CO 80223
Clearly the Arts District of Denver is a great area to find a venue to host your downtown wedding, because Moss can be found on Santa Fe Drive, too. According to the Moss website, the founders are experienced in decorative woodworking, welding, and metalworking and created the venue with the intention of building something unique and magical. These photos prove that to be true, and our favorite part is the moss covered wall – breaking up the typical urban exposed brick and giving a gorgeous backdrop for your downtown Denver wedding.

6. Denver Botanic Gardens
1007 York St, Denver, CO 80206
Deemed an “urban oasis” in Denver, The Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street contain 24 acres of lush greenery & unique venue spaces for all sizes. If you love the urban feel, but also want to be surrounded by nature, you can get married inside in the iconic dome of the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory. This venue is close to all that downtown Denver has to offer, meaning your guests can experience the city in the same weekend they get to have a special experience surrounded by greenhouses & picturesque gardens.
