  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Dickens Opera House, a venue located in Longmont, Colorado, harbors a rich history and legacy from its beginnings in 1881. William Henry Dickens, who originally built the opera house, obtained the land through his father who was given the land by Ulysses S. Grant. Not only does this land have ties to President Grant, but also to the author Charles Dickens, who was related to William Henry Dickens. While it was renovated a few years ago, the historic roots of this landmark were carefully preserved so that its history could continue to be told and celebrated. Couples now can plan their engagement party, rehearsal dinner, and ceremony is this historic site, weaving their own unique tale within its walls.

Dickens Opera House was an absolute pleasure to work with for the wedding. Their communication style was quick, communicative, and caring - they were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns. The venue itself was even more impressive in person, with lots of natural lighting, wonderful private rooms, a full bar, and an elevator for guests who couldn't or didn't want to use the stairs. They went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly, accommodating our specific food requests and making sure we got exactly what was wanted. I highly recommend Dickens Opera House to any couples looking for a beautiful, versatile wedding venue with a wonderful staff.

The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is the perfect venue for a romantic, intimate, and artsy wedding. This venue is truly a hidden gem! I would highly recommend BMoCA to any couple looking to break free from the typical cookie-cutter wedding venues. The venue fee was reasonable, and the best part is that the fee goes back to the museum to support local artists and future exhibits. Bonus: Since the museum is open to the public, you can pop in anytime to enjoy the exhibits and envision your wedding. From the start, the team at BMoCA was fast, thorough, and incredibly kind in guiding us through the whole process. They partner with Three Leaf Catering, who provided absolutely delicious food and drinks and have it nailed down from A-Z. The museum provided beautiful rentals, including overhead twinkly lights that were perfect for the reception. Since there is so much art and a great brick wall backdrop, we saved a lot on decor costs. The art was on display for guests to enjoy, creating fun conversations and a stunning atmosphere. This is the perfect venue for a small to medium-sized wedding. While you can use the park space outside for the ceremony, we opted for an indoor ceremony that was beautiful and rain-free. Our guests had a great time and we had our dream wedding!

Although we did not ultimately choose Rembrandt Yard as our venue, it was a a very close second.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we began to plan our wedding, it was important for us to create an experience that honored and celebrated our friends and family. The Flagstaff exceeded our expectations on every front and every single guest commented on how much they loved the venue - from the amazing food, the wonderful team, and the breathtaking views. One friend said she’d never seen a wedding so well staffed before, another said they’d never seen a menu with such amazing entree options, and everyone shared that it was the best cake they’ve ever had (and I don’t even like cake!) Working with Annie and the team was a joy - she was highly communicative, accommodating, and such an advocate for our vision. Every request and idea was met with solutions and options - from adding multiple red wines to changing the layout to create a stage for our band. It was the most special way to celebrate the most special day - we are so grateful to the entire Flagstaff team for helping us celebrate

When my husband and I (who met at CU) realized that the University of Colorado had started renting space as a wedding venue, we knew we had to see it. Besides both being huge football fans, CU was also very near and dear to our hearts because it was the place that originally brought us together. The views from the rooftop are absolutely breathtaking and the staff worked hard to make sure everything was exactly the way we asked and planned for. I love being able to look back at our wedding day and appreciate how unique our experience was. This venue is a must see!
