Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms

I attended the Lavender Festival earlier this year and loved it! Lovely lavender fields and awesome vendors. The entirety of Chatfield Farms is just fun to explore as a working farm with lots of historic touches. I also attended the Pumpkin Festival in the fall and found it was too crowded for my tastes, but I still enjoyed it. I don't think I would go to the Pumpkin Festival again, but I would definitely attend the Lavender Festival again.

We spent a Saturday afternoon in early November exploring this beautiful farmland! We made our way through the huge corn maze (and found all the birds!) then enjoyed 2 FREE tractor rides and ordered some snacks from the food truck vendors. The cowboys who toured us around on the tractors showed us bear tracks, beaver markings & we saw a deer! 🐾🦌🦫 There is so much exploring to do on this massive farm!

We used Chatfield Farms as a wedding venue and it was so perfect! The gardens, in full bloom at the end of August, were the most gorgeous, natural backdrop for photos and just an incredible venue. We kept our decor simple, so as to not distract from all of the natural beauty. The stables (white open barn) was the perfect amount of rustic that we wanted. There isn't one thing we would change for our venue selection! The price we paid for the venue and amount of time for the venue rental aligned with pricing of other venues we looked at and this expense for the wedding went to a great cause as well, contributing to the ongoing conservation programs and projects at the native plant refuge and historic farm. Our venue manager was Abby Beck and I can't say enough good things about her! She was so accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and just overall easy to work with! One of the services offered through the gardens was the Bucket of Blooms. They will grow flowers for your wedding to be used however you want, matching your wedding (or party/event) colors and if you choose, they can build your bouquets from these flowers that are grown at the gardens. Our bouquets turned out absolutely stunning. They were HUGE! So well designed and used flowers I had never even seen before! We loved them and this is something everyone should use if you are using the gardens as a venue!! Our entire experience at the gardens was incredible and the perfect place for a wedding!

What a beautiful venue, wow!! I had the pleasure of being a Wedding Coordinator at the Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms. Got to work with Abby & Sana - they were so on top of it, great communication and were so incredibly helpful before, during and after the wedding day. This venue makes the planning process so smooth and they execute the day of plans flawlessly. 10/10 I would highly recommend hosting your wedding day here for ceremony and reception!!! Also, it's just a fantastic gardens to spend the day with family or friends - will definitely be back to explore more 😊 Thank you, Jessica @ Dream Big Events
