    10/10 recommend

    We worked with Kyle Carr-Patrick! He made the planning of our wedding so seamless and made sure all our questions were answered. We loved having our wedding at the gardens! Our guest were constantly complimenting our venue and I am beyond excited to get our pictures back. The gardens made our wedding one to remember and the price to rent could not be beat. Thank you so much for making my day magical!

    Beautiful Denver wedding - and a great team

    We just used them for the ceremony, but wow! The Denver Botanic Gardens was a dream ceremony venue - there really isn't a more beautiful backdrop in the city for a wedding (it was important for us to truly have a Denver wedding - so it's rare to have anything quite as nice!). We loved our pick of the Romantic Gardens as we felt we didn't have to spruce it up too much at all - and it really did work out like that! But what made the experience was the team behind it, and specifically Russ. He was organized, clear, and consistently made sure we had everything we needed to feel prepared heading into the day as well as acted as the main point of contact throughout the day of. The venue handles a lot of events (clear in/out times, we had a mini touch up room, and they shut down way more space than we thought they would for us so we didn't really run into the public or regular garden-goers at all - we truly had an awesome corner of the gardens all to ourselves!) and you can tell they've really figured out how to make couples feel taken care of throughout the whole process. So glad we chose it and highly recommend to all!

    Kyle did great!

    Kyle was a great help in making sure everything venue side was handled well and coordinated with our planner and catering to make sure there were no hiccups. Our guests also had a fantastic time exploring the gardens and there was no other location I could ever imagine marrying my wife, than in the Solarium.

    Gorgeous Venue

    We had our wedding at the Woodland Mosaic in June 2026. Kyle Carr-Patrick was SO helpful and kind, he answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to help us have a wonderful, stress free day! The venue was gorgeous and exceeded our expectations, truly magical!

    Amazing Venue

    We worked with Kyle Carr-Patrick to book the venue. He was kind and professional. Our daughter's church wedding started at 2:00, and we had to be there at 12:30. The Botanic Garden has a policy that did not allow us to decorate the venue ourselves, since no one was allowed into the venue until 1:00 pm, including the catering, so we had to hire others to do it for us. Kyle recommended Serendipity, who assigned their Senior Event Coordinator, Marley to our event. She was fantastic! Kyle also let us drop off some things a bit before 1:00, which really helped us out. The venue itself is beautiful, and I feel we got what we paid for. We appreciated Kyle and Marley's willingness to work with us and make our daughter's day special.
