About the Couple and Their Blanc Denver Wedding Reception
I photographed this reception while working with Kalen Jesse of Kalen Jesse Photography. You can see her work here:

The couple held their Catholic ceremony the day before, then invited their people into RiNo for a reception that focused on presence.
They filled the courtyard with lounge seating. A vintage bathtub held La Croix. Pizza replaced formal catering. String musicians played while guests gathered, talked, and settled in.
Nothing about the day centered on performance. Everything centered on connection.
That approach fits perfectly into many current RiNo Denver wedding venues, especially Bigsby Folly, The Savoy Denver, The Catbird Hotel, and The Banshee House.
RiNo Denver Wedding Venues to Consider Now That Blanc Closed
If blanc drew you in, these RiNo wedding venues offer a similar foundation and experience.
Bigsby Folly Wedding Venue RiNo
Bigsby Folly sits right in the RiNo Arts District. Exposed brick walls, a working winery, and warm interior space create an environment that supports both celebration and intimacy.
Couples often host ceremonies and receptions in the same space, which keeps the day grounded and connected.
This venue works well for couples who want a RiNo wedding that feels intentional without feeling distant.
The Savoy Denver Wedding Venue
The Savoy blends historic structure with modern design. Tall windows bring in natural light throughout the day. The layout allows for clear transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
The space supports both smaller gatherings and full wedding celebrations.
For couples who love RiNo but want something clean and architectural, The Savoy offers that balance.
The Catbird Hotel Wedding Venue RiNo
The Catbird Hotel gives couples access to rooftop views, guest accommodations, and spaces designed with art and texture in mind.
Guests can move through the building, gather on the rooftop, and stay on site. This removes stress and helps everyone stay present.
Many couples choose Catbird when guest experience holds equal weight to design.
The Banshee House Wedding Venue RiNo
The Banshee House brings a newer option into RiNo. The space focuses on design, comfort, and flexibility.
Couples can shape the environment around their priorities rather than fitting themselves into a fixed structure.
This creates space for weddings that feel like an extension of the couple rather than a production.

My Perspective as a RiNo Denver Wedding Photographer
This wedding at blanc held meaning because of the choices the couple made.
They created space for themselves.
They stayed present.
They allowed their wedding to reflect their relationships rather than expectations.
You can do the same at Bigsby Folly, The Savoy Denver, The Catbird Hotel, or The Banshee House.
Your venue provides structure. You provide the meaning.
RiNo (one of my favorite places to hold Denver weddings) offers space for both.
I care deeply about capturing the story of your relationship and your life together. That's why booking more hours with me means a lower hourly rate - I want to make sure it's accessible for you.
When it comes to wedding photography, you've got choices with me. Whether you opt for hourly packages (I suggest at least 8 hours for this venue) or the All Day package, you'll get a blend of stunning portraits and candid moments captured in a documentary style. I'll be there to preserve all the joy, authenticity, and timelessness of your special day in photos you'll cherish forever.
