AEG Live

Entertainment giant AEG Presents Rocky Mountains will be opening The Mission Ballroom in August of 2019 providing Denver with a new world-class venue for concerts and special events.

This 60,000-square-foot venue is the centerpiece of North Wynkoop, a new development by Westfield Company located between 40th and 43rd street along Brighton Boulevard, in the RiNo Arts District.

With features including a moving stage that provides flexible capacity, unrivaled sight lines and state-of-the-art sound and lights, the Mission will bring to Colorado the most cutting-edge concert and special event experience in the west.

The Mission will also offer rising rows and a large main floor to allow for versatility in event planning. For special events, the venue will accommodate receptions of up to 2,000 individuals and seated dinners of up to 700 guests. Take advantage of the opportunity to host a corporate event, meeting, reception, concert, party, award show or gala in Denver’s newest venue.

AEG currently produces concerts and hosts special events at the Bluebird Theater, the Gothic Theatre, the Ogden Theatre, 1stBank Center and Fiddler's Green Amphitheater.

C Lazy U Ranch

C Lazy U Ranch is known for being one of Colorado’s best-kept secrets when it comes to unique venues. Not only is the ranch situated in an amazing location, but it also remains genuine to its roots dating back to 1919. C Lazy U Ranch is proud to be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and there’s a reason groups and guest come back year after year.

The ranch prides itself on delivering outstanding five-star service in a relaxed family atmosphere, which makes it an ideal destination for strategic planning, executive retreats or team-building adventures.

Known as Colorado’s premier luxury guest ranch getaway, C Lazy U is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains— only two hours from Denver—making it one of the most accessible mountain meeting options. It is one of the few remaining places where groups can reunite and experience a productive retreat that incorporates the traditions of the great American west in a luxurious mountain setting. On top of that, the food is amazing and the activities are endless.

There is truly something for everyone and the property features a collection of luxury cabin accommodations, fine dining, a full-service “Lazy You” spa, and 8,500 acres of adventure playground.

The ranch can also host a wide array of meetings on property. Meeting room options include the Historic Hay Barn, the charming Patio House or the new Latigo Meeting Room, which has the perfect combination of modern meeting room needs combined with western elegance and sophistication. It is no wonder that C Lazy U Ranch was a finalist for the Best Renovation and Best Hotel or Resort with Meeting/Event Space - outside Denver Metro for the Colorado Meetings + Events Best of 2019 reader’s choice awards.

Children's Museum of Denver

In the heart of downtown Denver, a slice of whimsy and imagination awaits. Plus, with spring upon us, nobody does outdoor events like the Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus. For those looking to plan a wedding, corporate picnic or family reunion, the Museum’s plaza is ideal for everything from a casual daytime BBQ to a formal affair illuminated by the stunning lights of the city.

Joy Park, the Museum’s 32,000-squarefoot outdoor experience, can be added onto any plaza rental, and features sand dunes, a canyon and river system, and dueling zip lines. Plus, the highly anticipated Adventure Forest, a 500-foot long aerial adventure course and immersive, exploratory sculpture is coming soon (opening dates to be determined). For indoor events, their refined and customizable spaces come with a wrap-around terrace, captivating views of Denver’s skyline and Elitch Gardens, and a beautiful kitchen for guests or caterers.

Amenities include ample free parking, state-of-the-art A/V, complimentary tables and chairs, and top-of-the-line preferred vendors who know how to incorporate the unique setup of the museum to elevate your event. Take in the views, zip through the air and release your inner child.

Multiple rental sites, both indoor and outdoor, can be combined to create the ideal site for any event. A popular choice is the West Terrace, a tented space with twinkle lights that overlooks Monet Pool. It can be combined with the Orangery for an indoor/outdoor option.

This year features Human | Nature, which explores the human form in both classical and abstract styles, from the 20th century to today, and is on view April 19-Sept. 15.
