“I’ve tried so many coworking spaces in KW as a remote software engineer and none come even close. The atmosphere is incredibly creative and positive. This will sound corny but I genuinely wake up every morning excited to go to work!”

A Wedding At The Den, In Full

Some reviews deserve more than a pull quote. This one is unabridged.

“A Dream Venue Come True. From the very first moment we stepped into Den1880 and met our hostess Paige, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. Den1880 is an exquisite blend of class, glam, and grace — everything we could have hoped for and more. The lighting is soft and romantic, the plush furniture adds comfort and elegance, the marble counters and high-end bathrooms elevate the feel of luxury, and the open space with thoughtfully curated décor meant we didn’t have to bring in a single extra item. But what truly set this venue apart was Paige. Kind, generous, thoughtful, and incredibly organized — Paige went above and beyond every step of the way. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and ensured our wedding day was seamless and perfect. Her care and dedication were felt not only by us but by our guests, who couldn't stop raving about both the venue and the atmosphere she helped create. We received so many compliments and countless people saying they wished they had discovered Den1880 sooner. Paige and her team were flawless. We are forever grateful.”
