Congratulations!

Your wedding day is an unforgettable affair to be shared with family and friends. At Knoebel Events, we are committed to making sure your day is one that you will never forget.

As a smaller venue, we only host one wedding at a time, meaning our sole focus is you.

Knoebel’s experienced wedding team will be here with you every step of the way—from the first planning meeting to the departure of the last guest, leaving you free to focus on enjoying your day. Our professional event directors focus on the details so that you can relax knowing that your wedding day will be nothing short of spectacular.

At Knoebel Events, chef driven menus, distinctive venues, and unique atmosphere, set within the picturesque University of Denver campus create the foundation for memories that last a lifetime.
