Food and drink are in the package, not bolted onto it. There is a commercial kitchen in the building and a full bar in the Lobby, so nothing arrives cold and nobody queues in a hallway. It is what makes this an all-inclusive wedding venue with a bar, rather than a room you have to stock yourself.
“With their collaborative catering partner Gourmet Chef at Your Table — the event was perfect.”
It is cooked in the building, not trucked in. Den 1880 works with catering partners including Gourmet Chef at Your Table — a past client named them unprompted in their review of the night.
A staffed bar in the Lobby, included in the package rather than billed separately. Bar enhancements are an add-on if you want something particular poured.
Menus are built with your chef rather than picked off a card, so restrictions get designed in during planning instead of improvised on the night.
Four things that are in the package rather than four vendors to chase.

“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.”
“Paige, Hannah, Alysha, and Cassie facilitated a fantastic retirement party for a dear colleague and friend. The facility at Den 1880 was perfect and as the night evolved, we migrated through the rooms from cocktails to dessert. All of our guests were complementary and enjoyed the experience making memories underpinned by the ambience and environment. Details matter and Den 1880 outperformed in every way. With their collaborative catering partner Gourmet Chef at Your Table - the event was perfect. Thanks again to the fab four for a wonderful event - we will be back.”
