Petruzzellos‘s banquet and conference center was the perfect venue for our wedding day from the start. Their communication was punctual fast and reasonable putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value they provided was truly exceptional. The space was romantic open and elegant, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. They assisted my wedding coordinator and setting everything up on the Day Of to make it our dream day and Katy was always on top of answering my many emails and phone calls. They worked really hard to ensure me and my guest were comfortable well fed and well hydrated at the bar this place gives you the best deal for you for the money and they go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. Petruzzellos’s made our wedding the best day ever and I would highly recommend booking with them. Thank you for making my wedding day. Come true.

This is a 5 star review of Cherry Creek as a wedding venue. I got married at Cherry Creek in 04/2025. Of course, the space was beautiful and the food was amazing, but I cannot speak highly enough about how supported I felt by the event staff. Stefani and Janelle went above and beyond to help with every step of the way with planning, as well as with the actual day of the event. I couldn't have asked for a better team or a more seamless experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just had our wedding here almost 2 weeks ago and it could not have been better! We worked with Ashley Willis and she was incredible at making sure everything during the planning process went smoothly and was too our liking. She made suggestions when we wanted a different setup or different ideas for appetizers or desserts that were more unique and satisfied dietary restrictions! She even made suggestions for changes to make for the filet when I wasn't 100% in love with the flavor after our first tasting. She made sure to check in with us leading up to the day and ensured that everything went according to plan and that we could enjoy the weekend. Upon arrival at the Townsend, all members of the staff were gracious and helpful to myself, family, and friends. It was a great place for the bridal party to get ready and a beautiful venue for the ceremony and reception. We had the ceremony in the foyer - which was stunning and used the tea lobby and foyer for cocktail hour then moved into the ballroom for the party. The ballroom has recently been painted to a fresh white color and there is new neutral carpet so the ballroom feels updated and fresh. I could not have picked a better venue. We brought in linens, chairs, and other decor but also used several of the included pieces from the hotel for our event. Everyone loved the food and thought the hotel was beautiful! We had brunch in the Regency Room, which was perfect as well. From planning to the day of service, I was very happy with The Townsend and would definitely recommend this venue and give high praise to Ashley and her team!
