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!

We visited during the lavender festival and had a great time overall. There was plenty of parking, and the area itself is lovely for strolling around. The vendor booths were set up in the middle of a field, which made for a nice atmosphere, but it did get quite warm. It would be helpful if water stations were spread throughout the event to keep people hydrated. Other than that, it was a great experience!

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

Compared the the Downtown botanical gardens I found it to have less variety of plants, flowers and foliage. Nonetheless it was a beautiful place to visit with a beautiful Colorado backdrop and worth the visit. It has a small butterfly pavilion was very enjoyable and the walk through the gardens very relaxing. Came late August and still has lots of color, humming birds and great place to admire nature's beauty and relax and ofcourse take pictures.

I went here with my roommates for the Lavender festival and was so surprised to go and experience so many other amazing things. There were food vendors, live music, people educating about the dye garden, a butterfly house, a market, and of course the Lavender. The property was so incredibly beautiful to walk around. The flowers were in full bloom, and there was just so much to experience. For onky a $17 ticket it was more than worth it. All the staff were incredibly nice.
