About this venue

In 2014, the Appaloosa Grill unveiled a 1,200-square-foot event and meeting space unlike any other in Denver’s Downtown Business District. In 2019, the Wright Room was expanded to 3,300 square feet, making it Denver’s premier gathering space for events and meetings of all types. The Wright Room is on the second story of the nine-story Denver Masonic Building. Erected in 1889, this historic structure was once a jewel in the crown of brewpub pioneer turned Colorado Governor John W. Hickenlooper. This particular mall crossing honors one of Denver’s founding fathers, Norton W. Welton. These mens’ shared middle name, Wright, was chosen as the Wright Room’s moniker.

    Perfect for our 60 Person Reception

    We hosted our 60 person wedding reception and a smaller farewell brunch at the Wright Room. The venue did an incredible job on the night of our event and the next morning!! For our reception they were able to support appetizers at cocktail hour, dinner service, signature drinks, and a dessert bar. The food came out exactly when expected, they were able to accommodate things like a single nut free salad, and everyone had positive things to say about the food (especially the crab crusted salmon & the creme brûlée). We brought in a DJ, a photography team, floral, cake, and had 2 day of coordinators and the Wright Room worked perfectly with all of them. We did our formal dances and speeches in the larger dinner space and then had our cocktail hour and dance party in the smaller space. Dani was responsive via email and graciously assisted me throughout the planning process with things like the menu, payment, and furniture dimensions. The owner, Johnny, was great and allowed me to tour the venue on 3 separate occasions and did an hour long phone call with me to finalize details like the menu and answer questions ahead of the event. Kota, the onsite event lead was incredibly kind and professional. The staff on site were great— they cleared plates expediently, refilled water jugs, and flipped the food and space quickly. I’d definitely recommend the Wright Room for any event!
