Kimpton Claret Wedding — An Editorial Take on the Halo Rooftop Bar in Denver

July 30, 2025

If you’re looking for a modern Denver wedding venue that combines city energy with refined design, let us introduce you to one of our favorite new spaces: the Halo Rooftop Bar at the Kimpton Claret Hotel.

We photographed a styled shoot here recently that left us completely inspired not just by the views (which are insane at golden hour), but by how well the venue balances romance, functionality, and editorial charm. From getting ready to the last dance, this is the kind of place that can host your whole day without ever needing to leave the property.

A Rooftop Wedding Venue in the Heart of Belleview Station

Located in Denver’s Belleview Station, the Kimpton Claret sits in the middle of one of the city’s most walkable, design-forward districts. There are restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and public transportation just steps away — making it ideal for guests who want to turn your wedding into a weekend experience.

The Kimpton Claret Hotel itself is warm and stylish, with cozy rooms for guests and a beautifully lit bridal suite for getting ready. We loved how easy it was to flow from prep to portraits to ceremony — all without needing to hop in a car or relocate.

If you’re searching for a Kimpton Claret wedding venue that offers skyline views, stylish accommodations, and a rooftop made for golden hour vows… this is it.

Why We Love Halo for Weddings

The Halo Rooftop Bar is the crown jewel of this venue. With space for up to 150 guests, it’s an ideal spot for couples who want that intimate-but-not-too-small feel. Whether you’re planning a sunset ceremony overlooking the city or an evening reception under bistro lights, the rooftop is versatile, elevated, and just the right amount of moody.

For this shoot, the team at Privée Events styled the space with minimalistic decor that let the architecture and light lead the way. A clean ceremony setup. Fashion-forward details. Moody florals. Bistro lighting. It was all intentional and elevated — the kind of design that feels luxurious because it’s not overdone.

Editorial Fashion, Sculptural Cake, and a Little Cinematic Flair

We kept things simple and romantic with sculptural gowns, flowing textures, and soft tones — letting the movement of fabric and light carry the mood. One of the standout moments was a giant wedding cake wrapped in a delicate sculptural bow. It was bold, but elegant, and added just the right touch of drama.

And then… the car.

As Denver wedding photographers, we’ve seen a lot of venues — but this one immediately stood out. After seeing the full mood board and creative direction, we knew we had to bring in a final detail to round out the story — so we surprised the team with a vintage olive-green car and scarf look. As the sun dropped and the lights came on, we captured portraits that felt straight out of a film. Romantic. Wind-swept. Full of motion and mood.

For Couples Who Want Style, Story, and a Built-In Experience

This venue is perfect for the couple who:

  • Wants a full wedding-day experience without leaving the city
  • Loves clean, elevated design and skyline views
  • Wants guests to stay on-site in a boutique hotel
  • Is drawn to fashion-forward, editorial details
  • Envisions a ceremony that feels intimate but high-impact

The Kimpton Claret and Halo Rooftop Bar bring together the ease of a hotel wedding with the vibe of a destination rooftop — all tucked into one of Denver’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
