A Denver elopement venue with a steeple.

Most small wedding venues in Denver are a room. The Hellena is a 1930 church — arched windows, a choir loft, and a matte-black tiny house standing in the nave for the wedding night. Ceremonies up to twenty guests, elopements even on short notice, and the whole building is yours. (vows were literally its first job.)

Weddings

Married in the nave

(this was literally the building's original job.)

The Hellena began as a place for vows, and it never really stopped. Say yours under the sanctuary ceiling with the people who actually matter, then stay your wedding night in the tiny house — the whole church is yours.

Your Hosts

Kept by Danny & Christy

Denver natives, sixteen-year hosts, and the reason 185 testimonies mention the word “hospitality.” We're nearby, we answer fast, and we have strong opinions about where you should eat — including a certain bar that's been pouring since 1873.
