This could be you.
If you’re dreaming of an elegant city wedding with character, history, and effortless charm, The Oxford Hotel offers one of Denver’s most iconic backdrops. With its vintage detailing, warm lighting, and prime location in LoDo, this historic hotel has been hosting weddings for over a century — and continues to be a favorite for couples who want style and substance.
As an Oxford Hotel wedding photographer, I love how the space holds emotion. From soft morning prep in the bridal suite to candlelit ballroom toasts, everything flows here with grace.
Why Couples Love The Oxford
The Oxford blends classic architecture with thoughtful hospitality — and puts everything within walking distance of Denver’s best downtown spots.
Why it works:
- Historic ballroom with romantic, old-world style
- Elegant getting-ready suites with natural light
- Walkability to Union Station, Dairy Block, and nearby portrait zones
- Ideal for intimate or mid-size weddings with upscale energy
- In-house coordination and catering
It’s the kind of place where elegance feels personal, not performative.
Ceremony & Reception Spaces
Oxford Ballroom
Chandeliers, tall windows, and parquet floors. A warm, intimate feel with capacity for 50–150 guests.
The Library
Great for small ceremonies, cocktail hour, or quiet photos. Full of wood, books, and low light — a photographer’s dream.
Bridal Suite + Groom’s Lounge
Perfectly lit prep rooms with historic charm and private space.
Union Station & Alleyway Portraits
Just steps outside — perfect for urban shots with old brick, vintage signage, and classic architecture.

- Clean editing to enhance the old-world aesthetic
- Calm direction to balance the elegance of the space
- Portrait planning that blends interior charm and downtown grit
Best Seasons for an Oxford Wedding
This is a year-round venue with indoor comfort and exterior portrait access.
- Spring: Soft light and early golden hour outside
- Summer: Lively downtown energy and evening portraits in the city
- Fall: Best lighting + moody color palettes inside and out
- Winter: Cozy, candlelit interiors and vintage hotel warmth
It works in every season — especially fall and winter.
