Getting Here & Getting Around

Where should I park?
Metered street parking is available on Lawrence and Arapahoe Streets. We also recommend the parking garage at 1515 Lawrence Street, with pedestrian access directly across the 16th Street Mall from the Clocktower. Rates are approximately $10 on weekends and $20 on weekdays, but prices are subject to change.

How do I enter the event space?
Enter through the building’s Arapahoe Street entrance and take the elevator to the 17th floor.

How many floors does the venue include?
Our event space spans the 17th through 21st floors and includes two wraparound balconies. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BELL OR THE FLAGPOLE located above the 21st floor. The elevator serves the 17th floor; the upper event floors are reached by stairs. Please keep this in mind when planning for guests with mobility needs.

Where are wedding proposals set up?
Proposals take place on the 18th floor, inside the historic clock. Take the elevator to the 17th floor, where our team will greet you and escort you upstairs to your proposal setup.

How many restrooms are available?
There is one guest restroom on the 17th floor. Wedding couples also have access to a second restroom on the 14th floor.

Booking & Your Rental

How do I reserve my date?
A 50% deposit reserves your date. The remaining balance is due one week before your event.

What is included in the venue rental?
Your rental includes:

• Private access to all five event floors and both balconies. Please note: There is NO access to the bell.

• Use of our existing furniture.

• Up to 50 white ceremony chairs and 13 high top cocktail tables

• An on-site venue manager to assist with building-related needs, vendor load-in, and load-out.

• Bluetooth speakers on all 5 floors

Your venue manager oversees the space and building logistics. For wedding planning, vendor coordination, décor setup, and management of your wedding-day timeline, please arrange a wedding planner or coordinator.

Do I need event insurance?
Yes. Event insurance is required for your celebration at the Clocktower. You can purchase coverage through The Event Helper.

Can I purchase additional event time?
Yes. Additional event time is available at:

• 30 minutes: $125

• One hour: $250

Please coordinate additional time with us in advance.

Weddings & Getting Ready

How many chairs fit inside the clock for a ceremony?
The clock room accommodates a maximum of 46 ceremony chairs.

Is there a getting-ready suite?
We can reserve a simple, pretty getting-ready space on the 14th floor for your wedding day. Please arrange access with us in advance.

Catering, Drinks & Music

Do I have to use a preferred caterer?
No—you may choose your own full-service catering company. We do not allow drop-off catering.

A full-service team handles food setup, service, clearing, and breakdown, so you and your guests can enjoy the celebration. With multiple floors and stairs, having a team manage food, leftovers, and trash makes a big difference. Your wedding night should end with a wonderful send-off, without a final trip downstairs carrying leftovers in your wedding attire!

Can we serve alcohol?
Yes. If you serve alcohol, you must hire a licensed and insured bartender.

Do you have speakers and music?
Yes! We have Bluetooth speakers on each floor. Send us your Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music playlist so we can help set the mood for your celebration.

Vendor Access & Setup

Where can vendors unload?
There are three loading-zone spaces on Arapahoe Street that may be used temporarily for unloading, subject to availability and posted restrictions. Please move vehicles promptly once unloading is complete.

When can vendors load in?
Vendor load-in time depends on your event package:

• Full weddings and standard events: Two hours.

• Pop-up parties and microweddings: One hour.

Please share your access window with every vendor so deliveries and setup stay within your reserved time.

Are there special instructions for the elevator?
Yes. Our historic elevator requires extra care during loading and unloading. Please check in with the venue team before using it to move equipment or supplies, and follow the building’s approved loading instructions.

Venue Guidelines

Are candles allowed?
No. Candles, open flames, and fire are prohibited throughout the premises. Please choose flameless LED candles for a warm, romantic glow.

Can guests smoke on the balconies?
No. Smoking is prohibited on both balconies and throughout the venue. Guests who wish to smoke must go down to street level and follow posted smoking restrictions.
