It was beautiful, and it was mostly a success. The food was great and the decor complemented our theme. Unfortunately, the bar staff in Panzano were extremely rude to some of our guests, which was extremely unprofessional considering the amount of money the entire event cost. It was the only mar on an otherwise great event.

As many of you who read my posts know, I am a wedding officiant who performs wedding ceremonies throughout the Colorado area. There is none so fine as the site at Hotel Monaco. Several weeks ago I performed a wedding in their wine cellar! I know--it sounds unusual, but it was absolutely gorgeous!! Small an intimate, the staff had white candles and lights everywhere and the chairs were covered with beautiful white covers which made everything seem so elegant! the bride was able to get read in a private room upstairs and made a dramatic entrance while the staff took care of the music and all of the coordination. I was very impressed! A great combination of sophistication and intimacy. After the ceremony, the bridal party and guests adjourned to the beautiful downstairs lobby for drinks and mingling while the staff converted the room into the reception site. I wasn't able to stay for the reception, but based on the performance of the staff for the ceremony, I expect it to be fabulous.

Folks, Yes, Hotel Monaco is a corporate hotel with hotels in several cities and yes it is owned by a large company (Kimpton Hotels) BUT I've tried several hotels in downtown Denver and this is the best so far, especially for the price. The service is friendly and fast, the rooms are great, the location is quiet (for a downtown hotel) and they take pets. They have a great location one block off the 16th Street Mall, easy valet parking (but expensive at $20/day) and, wait for it, a minibar that meets even my high standards. (I love minibars.) Enjoy!
