BOOK LIVE MUSIC IN COLORADO

Live music at a Downtown Denver hotel

The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa

The Brown Palace opened in 1892 with a banquet in its ballroom, and it’s still one of the most elegant places in Denver for a wedding, a gala or a holiday party.

Live music is already part of the hotel. There’s piano at afternoon tea in the atrium lobby, and jazz on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Load-in and setup

Sound system
Our acts bring their own sound system, sized to the space. The hotel also has AV on site.
A historic building
It’s an 1892 building, so we work out load-in and staging with the hotel’s events team ahead of time.
Catering
The hotel caters events in-house, and wedding packages include a dance floor and a DJ table.

Things to plan around

The hotel’s own music
The atrium has jazz on Friday and Saturday evenings and piano at afternoon tea, so we’ll plan your music to fit around it.
The holidays
In the holiday season the atrium has carolers and the Champagne Cascade, a tower of over 5,000 champagne glasses.
Parking
There’s valet parking at the hotel.
