The Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens is one of the most lovely and whimsical old homes in Denver. My wife and I were married there this past June. We stayed at The Inn the night before and the night of the wedding day - with friends and wedding party - having the entire Inn to ourselves, which is a wonderful option offered to wedding parties.
The owners, Joel and Elaine, are the kindest people. They worked with us around some scheduling issues that came up due to family health issues and were most gracious about it. Joel does all of the cooking at The Inn, including for the wedding ceremony, and the food is excellent! We have also visited the Inn several times for brunch and tea. This is a great way to experience the Inn if you’ve never been. Elaine is a gracious hostess and very, very sweet. Easy to work with. They both made us feel right at home at The Inn, which has an undeniable magical feeling about it.
The Lumber Baron has a staff wedding planner, Sasha, who is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is well organized, ready with vendor suggestions, pricing, and has a very tidy schedule of planning meetings which will take you right up to the day of the wedding and helps to make everything as stress-free as possible. Much of the larger strokes of planning that goes into a wedding was handled by Sasha and/or The Inn itself. This allowed for us to focus on all of the details we wanted to make our wedding just right for us. The Inn is fully staffed to accommodate your event - which you can also experience on a smaller level, once again, should you visit for dining - and the staff is excellent! Quick, efficient, and very helpful!
The ceremony and dinner for our wedding was held in the garden, which must be mentioned. At the end of June, in the beginning of summer, we found the garden to be just as magical as the inside of The Inn itself. The ambiance was absolutely perfect.
I cannot say enough about just how perfect we felt our experience with The Lumber Baron Inn was. When we packed up to leave the morning after the ceremony - after a delicious breakfast with the rest of our guests - we left feeling a bit sad to do so. But we also left feeling as though we were part of the family at The Inn, in a way. And that is very special for us! Thank you Joel, Elaine, Sasha, and the entire staff of The Lumber Baron Inn, for making our wedding so very special.
