Founded in 1884, the Denver Athletic Club is one of the oldest and largest private city clubs in the United States, located at 1325 Glenarm Place in the heart of downtown Denver. The club has called its current corner address at 14th and Glenarm home since 1890, with a storied history of growth, renovation, and recognition — including a Harper's Weekly nod in 1898 as "the first substantial institution of an athletic nature" in the region. Today it holds Platinum Clubs of America certification and serves more than 2,000 members. The club offers over 25,000 square feet of event space across more than nine distinct venues, accommodating gatherings from intimate board meetings of 10 to rooftop celebrations and grand ballroom events of up to 400 guests. Spaces range from the open-air Sundeck with downtown skyline views to the soaring-ceilinged Grand Ballroom, a historic Bowling Alley, and sun-filled meeting rooms. Full-service in-house catering and a dedicated events team support all occasions, from weddings and fundraisers to corporate meetings and social celebrations.

The Stone House is a historic event venue set within the Bear Creek Greenbelt in Lakewood, Colorado. Constructed between 1859 and 1864 from stones pulled from Bear Creek and rough-dressed sandstone quarried from the nearby hogback, the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its 18-inch thick walls and age give it a character rare among Colorado wedding venues. The grounds sit within a manicured green setting of mature cottonwood trees, lawns, plant beds, and patio areas — with walking paths and ponds nearby for portraits after the ceremony. Ceremonies can be held outdoors beneath the cottonwood trees, while the interior accommodates up to 35 guests and the surrounding grounds accommodate up to 100. The venue includes dressing areas for the bridal party, along with tables, chairs, and a wood staircase that doubles as a backdrop for photographs.
