Chatfield Farms Wedding Venue at Denver Botanic Gardens is one of my favorite wedding venues in the entire Denver Metro area. I love it so much I got married there on a rainy spring day back in May 2012 when it was known as Chatfield Botanic Gardens wedding venue. The gardens there are gorgeous, and it's full of vintage farmhouse charm. Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms sits on over 700 acres conveniently located in Littleton, Colorado just off of C-470 & Wadsworth Boulevard across the road from Chatfield State Park. Despite it's easy to get to location, it has the feel of a private organic farm retreat miles away from any city. If you were actually looking for information about getting married at Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street location, you can find tons of photos and information about that venue HERE.

Chatfield Botanic Gardens wedding venue started off with just one area that you could rent for your wedding but they have since added on a couple new options for hosting weddings and events on their huge plot of land in the southwest Denver metro area. Chatfield Farms also has a few different options for spaces where you and your wedding party can get ready for the big day which I’ll also outline in this section. In addition to the reception and getting ready spaces, they have some different options for hosting your wedding ceremony too.

Chatfield Farms includes the following with your rental of their spaces:
-Guest admission during public hours
-Member level pricing on public event tickets
-A private walkthrough that lasts one hour up to 30 days before your event.
-Event signage
-Preparations of the facility
-Event security when required

Below I have photos I’ve taken at the various different rental spots available at Chatfield farms. I’ve been photographing here for well over a decade and some of these photos might be a little older and prior to some of the renovations they’ve done to their venue spaces.

The Green Farm Barn and large adjacent garden areas provide a beautiful backdrop for your rustic chic wedding celebration. This rustic bright red barn was built in 1918 by the Green family and was renovated in 2006 for hosting private events. I find this vintage red barn to be such a beautiful backdrop in wedding photos.The large outdoor patio directly outside of the front doors to the barn is 30x50 feet in size and provides an ample dance floor for those who want to dance under the stars and was one of the main reasons I picked it for my wedding day. There is one good sized bathroom inside of the barn for your guests to use on your wedding day. Depending on the size of your wedding, you may want to speak with Chatfield Farms about the possibility of adding other bathroom options since I’ve seen the line get a bit long at larger private events.

The barn boasts a huge beautiful garden on the east side of the barn along with a huge brick silo and to the west of the barn is a nice green grassy lawn under large trees. The barn can host up to 140 seated guests and up to 200 people if you opt for a standing room only style event. If you incorporate the surrounding outdoor areas you can host up to 500 people at the Green Farm Barn. With the rental of the Green Farm Barn at Chatfield Farms you will get access to twenty 5 foot round tables, five 8 foot banquet tables, two 6 foot banquet tables, one 4 foot round table, six 3 foot round cocktail tables, and 120 padded natural wood chairs.

Across the dirt road from the Green Family Farm Barn is where Chatfield Farms hosts their annual fall corn maze. I have found that this is a great added bonus for the autumn weddings held there. It certainly provides one more fun and playful picture location for your wedding photos. Who doesn't want to take some time on their wedding day to get lost in a corn maze so you can give your new spouse some secret smooches?

If you’re thinking you’d like to get married at a rustic farm or barn style setting, I have a whole article full of barn wedding venues in Colorado HERE.

The Polly Steel Nature Center has been used by Chatfield Farms as a space for couples to get ready on their wedding day for many years now. This space is generally used in conjunction with the Green Farm Barn since they are right next door to each other. I love how charming this late 1800s farmhouse is. I’ve created so many pretty photos on the screened in wraparound porch which is my favorite part of this old house. I distinctly remember my husband and I seeing each other for the first time on our wedding day on that porch at our first look! The little yard and surrounding garden spaces make for some really beautiful wedding day photos. Most of my photos of the interior of this space were done prior to their renovations so you’ll definitely want to check it out in person to see what they’ve done with the space!

The Yurt at Chatfield Farms provides a secondary getting ready space option for couples on their wedding day. They’ve added a flower garden around the yurt giving it a much more quaint and homey feel. The interior is pretty fun with foosball tables and plenty of seating for relaxing before the day begins. They do offer air conditioning and heating in this space but a word of caution from me is that it’s very hard for the air conditioner to keep up with the heat of a Colorado summer. So it might not be the best place to get ready for anyone sensitive to heat.

Deer Creek Stables and Amphitheater is another incredible outdoor wedding reception option available at Chatfield Farms. Deer Creek Stables is one of the newer beautiful additions added to Chatfield Farms. It’s a white wood stable that has retractable sides that can be opened up and features gorgeous sliding barnwood doors. They have modern farmhouse style chandeliers hanging overhead as well. It fits in beautifully with the rest of Chatfield Farms with its rustic charm. I personally really love that it keeps the feel of celebrating a wedding outside in nature while also providing good cover in case of bad weather. There is a huge grass field right outside of the venue space too which is pretty fun for little wedding guests to run around in before sunset. Deer Creek Stables can host covered seating for up to 225 guests and if you use the outdoor space around the building you can host up to 1,000 people!

From the north side of Deer Creek Stables you can walk down a pretty wood boardwalk to arrive at the Prairie Garden Terrace. This wood terrace has been built around huge old Cottonwood trees which are decorated in twinkle lights. It’s truly a magical place for your party. There is room for up to 75 people on this 1,600 square foot wood terrace and it is such a lovely place to dance the night away under the stars and the twinkle lights in the trees. If you wanted to host a dinner reception on the Prairie Garden Terrace,you can fit up to 60 people for a sit down dinner reception. I think it makes a really great cocktail hour location too!

The Deer Creek Schoolhouse was built in 1874 and is one of the older buildings at Chatfield Farms. The Deer Creek Schoolhouse is located very close to Deer Creek Stables and the Prairie Garden Terrace so it probably makes the most sense to book this space for your getting ready area if you are hosting your Chatfield Farms reception in either of those two spaces. It’s an adorable one room school house with tons of natural light pouring in. I could see this space doubling as an indoor option for a smaller wedding ceremony or reception too. There is a cool fire pit just outside the backdoors and it’s an easy walk to the Prairie Garden Terrace.

It’s possible to book the historic Deer Creek Schoolhouse for a small reception or ceremony space but keep in mind that from Memorial Day through Labor Day they keep it furnished as a getting ready space for weddings and events. If you did want to book it for a seated dinner reception, they have room for up to 40 people. There is room for up to 50 guests when used as a standing reception space. Fun fact, this was not always where the school house was located. They moved it to this spot in the 1990s!

For years, this was the most popular area at Chatfield Botanic Gardens to host your wedding ceremony though I’ve definitely seen plenty of ceremonies hosted in other locations around Chatfield Farms. You can see photos in the various galleries on this page for ideas about other areas of Chatfield Farms to host a wedding ceremony and I highly recommend speaking with Chatfield Farms directly about what is possible for your ceremony. The wide open grassy lawn of the Open Air Chapel complete with a wood gazebo is my personal favorite spot at Chatfield to hold your wedding ceremony. With views of gentle rolling hills and surrounded by trees and flower fields it's a gorgeous area for those wanting a separate space from the reception site. This is where my husband and I said our vows back in 2012! One tip from me is to plan to stand outside of the gazebo if possible to avoid shadows on your faces from standing inside the gazebo during your ceremony. Plus your guests will be able to see you better if you stand in front of the gazebo instead of inside of it.

The Lavender Garden Pergola at Chatfield Farms is another one of their newest wedding venues added to this sprawling garden complex. It features a medium sized flagstone patio with a wood pergola covering this patio space providing some shade from the harsh Colorado sun. I can imagine that it could potentially be a really nice place to host your ceremony if you are hosting a smaller wedding or perhaps an afternoon bridal tea or other small get-together. I can only imagine how incredible this place must smell when the lavender has grown in! It is available to rent from May-October. You can host up to 20 people for a standing reception and up to 30 people in a theater style seating arrangement.

The cost to get married at Chatfield Farms wedding pricing will vary quite a bit based on the time of year, the size, and location that you would like to book for your wedding day. As with most Colorado wedding venues, if you’re able to host your wedding mid-week instead of on the weekend you’ll save the most money. If you are flexible about the location, your date, and the amount of guests you’d like to invite, they still have some pretty affordable options for getting married at Chatfield Farms. I’ve done my best to give a rough overview of the wedding cost of Chatfield Farms Denver Botanic Gardens but it’s always best to check with them directly to get an exact quote. You can find their rental inquiry form HERE.
