Alamo Placita Park — Attraction in Denver

We got married at this park! One of the most beautiful parks in Denver! No one could say they had more flowers at their venue than we did. If you are thinking about getting married here keep in mind ththe pros and cons- CONS 1. It is right on a busy street so you will hear traffic. 2. You do run the risk of strangers around since it is a popular dog walking spot and park. Most people are very respectful & watch from sidewalks. 3. You can't use a PA system so you have to get creative with music -we used or car for music before & the walk. PROS 1. Cheap venue for up to 200 people comfortably. ( cost $285 plus chair rental) 2. Mid July thru early Oct. The garden is phenomenally beautiful sono extra costs for decor 3. You get to share your special day with lots of people you don't know & they love it too. 4. Its right in the center of the city- close to lodging, resturants etc so no 2-3 hr drive into the mountains for guests ...bring plenty of water & cheap umbrellas for guests its very sunny & gets very hot. There is a spot o pot at the playground but if your renting the park & have a big amount of people parks & rec will require you to rent one. Ps most people in Denver metro don't even know about this park eventhough they pass it going to work everyday so even for the natives you will have to include maps with...

Potted Max (a neighborhood cat usually located one street past the park) is a highlight when visiting this park! :) I really wish there was a fenced area for dogs; this is our neighborhood spot in walking distance and it stinks that we 'technically' cant let the dogs run off leash. (If you do, watch out for animal control. They DO patrol thanks to a nosy neighbor and do also ticket). The other side of the park is pretty when the flowers are in bloom and the bat watching starting in late...
