The Oxford Hotel Wedding | Timeless Romance in the Heart of Downtown Denver

A bride and groom stand closely together on a dirt path in a scenic outdoor setting with mountains and trees, capturing the romance of their THE OXFORD HOTEL Wedding. The bride holds a bouquet of yellow and white flowers.

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.

Union Station & Alleyway Portraits

Just steps outside — perfect for urban shots with old brick, vintage signage, and classic architecture.

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.
