Victorian Event Center

Long are the days of youth, where weekends are spent with family/​friends riding down the Alpine slide and roaming the little streets of Heritage Square. Over the weekend two of our very best friends got hitched and I have to admit, this historic site, could use a makeover because It’s a little run down and appears to have more abandoned buildings than open ones. I would have never thought to have a wedding at the Victorian Event Center, and was surprised at how cute and quaint the venue was, despite being amongst broken down buildings. The venue overlooked Golden and downtown Denver was seen from a distance. While the venue is small, it’s perfect for a small wedding [and not one of 150 people like we had!]. The interior is painted all white, which made the hanging lanterns only increase the pop of color!
Other than the cute interior, I found myself upset with the staff and event manager. When we arrived at noon to start setting up for the 5pm wedding, decorations from the wedding the night before were still hanging up, the tables were NOT set up as we were told they would be, the crew wasn’t to arrive until 2pm and NOTHING was done at all. When we asked the event manager where things were, she looked at us as if we were an inconvenience to her and made big sighs as she answered our questions. She was beyond unprofessional, immature and just plain rude. She made the experience of setting up for this event, miserable. After a while, she disappeared all together and «waited for her staff» which were late and didn’t arrive until almost 3pm.
While I enjoyed my friends wedding and loved seeing them happy starting their lives together, I will NEVER chose to have an event here, solely because of the event manager. Unfortunately, this place has an even worse reputation to me now.
Thanks for nothing.
