The Franciscan Event Center

About

Four decades of family-owned hospitality, ten minutes from downtown Denver. Ceremonies happen outside in the gardens, under a gazebo surrounded by planted beds and water, and the reception moves indoors to the ballroom. The Aspen Room, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows over the gardens, works for the ceremony itself in bad weather or for a cocktail hour in good. Packages are priced per person and start at $40 a head for the venue on its own: tables, Chiavari chairs, velvet linens, china and glassware, centerpieces, full setup and breakdown, six hours of event time, and staff who have done this before. Bring your own caterer, or add a buffet dinner and let the in-house kitchen handle it.
