Photoshoots

We're absolutely passionate about hosting photoshoots here at Bestow. Our venue offers an array of captivating locations that provide limitless possibilities for your shoots. Every booking grants you complete access to the entire space.


Natural light floods our premises, creating an incredible atmosphere. Our space boasts three grand glass garage doors, reaching heights of 10 to 12 feet. These doors allow you to manipulate light to your preference – whether it's playing with soft, indirect lighting or fully opening them for sharper illumination based on the time of day. Our walls sport a gentle cream hue, aiming to infuse a subtle warmth into your photographs.


Designed with an industrial chic foundation, our building's shell aims to evoke the sensation of a relaxed and easy-going destination, reminiscent of Bali or similar tranquil locales. Throughout, you'll discover bursts of color and texture in our artwork, along with luxurious velvety furniture and curtains.


Above all, our goal is to offer you the freedom to utilize our space as-is or completely transform it to suit your unique style and aesthetic. Whether it's our rooms or patio, we're dedicated to supporting your vision and making it a reality.

Kacey and Shawn, thank you so so much for honoring us with your special day and granting us the pleasure to see our first wedding transpire at Bestow. You will forever hold a very special, grateful spot in our hearts. Cheers to you both and lots and lots of love for many years to come. 🥂 P.S. I’m obsessed with these corner shots Great job @photosbybrinnab ;)
Excellent use of the checkered floor. #flatlays 📷 @emilyelizabeth__photography
When all you think to yourself is “damn, that’s good lighting.” It was all hidden and dark in here before. Let it shine. #industrialvenue #industrialbuilding #industrialchic
The cutest! They brought the carrot garden, all the yummy bbq and the most fun balloon arch we’ve put together yet. Baby showers are our thing! So much room to spread out and space for all the yard games. Call us if you have any questions about hosting a baby shower with us! #babyshower #babyshowercolorado #coloradobaby #babyshowers #babyshowerideas
What a gorgeous setting for unity. @emilyelizabeth__photography
So much to say about yesterday’s wedding. But first, thank you so much Lexie and Rob for trusting us and choosing us for such a monumental day in your lives. You brought the fun and great people to share it with. Such a great time! One thing I love most about this venue is the incredible access to not only hearing amazing music in a room with such pronounced acoustics, but having the opportunity to literally get to stand right next to the band and watch all that they do. The indoor-outdoor experience with this venue is so much fun. You can go in and out dancing, go right to the bar, everything being so close and not separated at all. This was so so great to witness. Thank you @diamondempireband !
Three events this weekend. Settings up at dusk with our surround sound playing is honestly pure joy and ease.
Delivery just drops them off. Up to you to get them inside. Rain or shine, doesn’t matter, when it’s on you, it’s on you and you just get it done. Extra tables are in for the future larger occupancy that we’re about to have with our new addition around the corner. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 #smallbusinessstrong
Thank you, Shawn and Kacey, for giving us the honor of being part of your special day—and for trusting us with our very first wedding at Bestow! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and success. You were truly a pleasure to work with!
We want the private suites to be as comfortable as if you’re hanging in your own home. Cozy and warm. We hope you don’t want to leave! Kick off your shoes and stay a while.
Flat lays are some of our favorite designs to see and we love how our floors add such a richness to this design because they have an underlying tone of green to them. @montanapaperco and @annaleisaveasey really knocked it out of the park with this beautiful set up.

A peek into all the beautiful artwork from an artist I’ve always loved—Frank Moth. Our hallway acts as a moody transition into our bathrooms, soon to be adorned by a few other additions to spice up the hallway in a super sexy way. We want Bestow to feel like an experience at every corner, even when you’re waiting in line for the bathroom—because every detail matters when creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
Manifesting small #filmfestivals to come our way and use us for film previews… ;) 🎥🎞️📽️ Loved being a part of one of @freerange_films creative meet up nights and getting to experience a film showing for the first time! #coloradoevents #coloradoeventsindustry #filmmaking #filmfestivallife #filmfest #coloradofilmfestival
Completed the lime wash wall in the checkered room. We really struggled getting the depth to show on this wall and the swooshes to come through more, but I am much happier with this result than what it was before. Now I will start working on completing the room to be fully ready as a bridal suite. This room also acts as another event space room when it’s not used for weddings, so the decor in here will be flexible for both :) This room is a favorite for sure. #urbanchic #urbanevent #industrialdesign #industrialchic #denverevents
Grape juice, anyone?
A moment for this dress. Good lawd. Planning and florals: @cherry_bomb_events Photography and HMU: @alchemy_creative Also PS: we are adding another layer of lime wash to the walls in the checkered room tomorrow, so that wood frame around the green door will be getting painted the same color…it matters to me that you know that haha #rufflyweddingdress #rufflyweddinggown #weddingdress #weddinggown

Photographers who give you a quick sneak peek right after having a wonderful photoshoot with them never cease to amaze me. We had the most fun getting to work alongside such easy-going and very talented vendors yesterday and viewing Kari’s photo took my breath away. So many to share on this collab.

We’ll take two please. Noon seems late enough. 📷 @aylaraeweddings
Forgive my nasal-ness, but I wanted to give a little peek into how incredible our LDDA is. Out of the kindness of their hearts, they decided to host an event at Bestow SOLELY to give thanks and honor all the retailers that work so hard and fight through slow months to make Longmont so special. Do any other cities do this?? I was honestly taken aback and felt it was one of the nicest things done for our community. For all those who came out, thank you. It made me happy to see our place filled with those who also felt this event was so nice to attend and have put on specifically for them. The details of the event were amazing, you could get a 15 minute chair massage, a hand massage, your birthdate astrological reading, eat yummy local food, and fill out anonymous questions for them to learn how they can make things even better for all of us. I have been impressed with the LDDA for many years, ever since moving to the downtown strip. They really care about our community, about local businesses remaining local and doing everything that they can to see our businesses thrive. As retailers, we can all feel very frustrated at times, but I hope you all realize how incredibly lucky we are to have the support of such a phenomenal city business backing us up. @owndowntownlongmont #owndowntownlongmont
Not a sexy picture, but a proud one. More images of our ribbon cutting from the Chamber. It’s a heartfelt feeling to hear kind words over and over about how beautiful our space is, how excited people are that we are here, and that they not only accept it but express how much of a need it fills. It fills me with gratitude and teaches my husband and partner to learn to embrace and accept how well he’s done. Something that’s normally hard for him to do. Being accepted by our community only makes me want to give back to my community even more. That’s the beautiful cycle of giving. We are so proud to be a part of downtown Longmont and all its growth and feel a true calling to be steadfast in making a positive impact in our city’s culture and occasions. We embrace your events wholeheartedly as if they were our own. Making sure all goes as planned and you have one hell of a good time. #owndowntownlongmont #ribboncutting #ribboncuttingceremony #longmontcolorado
This photo doesn’t show any bit of our space or the details of the photoshoot at hand and yet it’s one of my absolute favorite images sent to me by @aylaraeweddings . The use of shadows from the garage door windows has me in a chokehold. Who is she? What happened next? Did they just meet or are they long time lovers? Why were they dressed up and what party did they just sneak off from?? Did he end up slipping her dress off?? What happened?! I need to know like it’s the end of an episode forcing me to wait a whole week now just to find out. I’m constantly in awe witnessing how photographers utilize this space in such creative ways. Looking at images in how they view it through their camera lens is amazing. I can tell you one thing that’s ‘for sure for sure’ - choosing to spend good money on a talented, incredibly dialed-in photographer who encompasses the style of images that you are drawn to is 100% worth the money. In fact, I’d argue that it’s the most important money you will spend on your occasion because the gifts of photographs received afterwards are treasures that will last you a lifetime to look at and reminisce over. Photography isn’t cheap, neither is the all the money and time photographers spend perfecting their craft so that you are left with photos that tell YOUR story and leave you in awe. Last thing I’ll say - at 30 years old I was broke as joke and still decided to fly to Seattle to meet a photographer (female) I was completely taken by because of her beautiful work and how poignantly she blogged about going through a divorce. A path I knew I was on, but hadn’t yet accepted. I found strength in her. To have a mini session it was $500 (plus the flight and hotel) which I didn’t have, but I figured it out and did it anyways. I STILL look at those photos of my younger self at times. I see so much memory, the unknown and innocence imprinted in those photos and I’m taken by viewing myself through the lens of loving myself. I wouldn’t have those specific connections with myself without those images. My point? Paying for photography is by far one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself. Penny pinch to make it happen.
Our weddings start in April, and to say we are eagerly awaiting the level of joy to witness such monumentally special days in couple’s lives is an understatement. I can confidently say I know it will be a feeling of pride that I will feel over and over and over again. I’ve been working in the wedding world for 20 years of my life now via flowers and I still want to be a part of it. Now I get to witness these unions through the lens of a gorgeous, natural light-filled venue that is sure to provide incredible memories. **also sidenote, that conduit to the right of the white wall will be going away ;) for anyone who knows me well, knows I won’t be able to handle that until it does haha Styled shoot: Venue: @eventsbybestow Coordination: @heirloomeventsdesign Photo & Video: @aylaraeweddings Florals: @a_florae Models: @alyceandcody Desserts: @alyce.in.flourland Hair & Make Up: @thebridalgoddess Catering: @greenspointcatering Rentals: @wallflower_rentals_decor, @alleventscolorado Gown @anthropologieweddings
A room designed for your imagination. Whether you’re expanding your event space or using our checkered room as a private suite, its unique charm sets the perfect mood. Silly yet chic, calm yet inspiring—it’s a space that adapts to you.
Your personal brand should exemplify your personality. Let your followers in on who you are. What makes you laugh, how you decompress, what inspires you. Your personal brand photos should then help showcase exactly that essence. Just be you and pick a photographer that you feel comfortable with to help make it all happen seamlessly. 📷 @whyforboudoir #personalbranding #personalbrand #personalbrandingtips #brandphotography

Darcee, thank you so much! You were an absolute joy to work with, and your family was wonderful. #longmontevents #denverevents #industrialdesign #coloradoevents
Our first Celebration of Life gathering. We are honored to host such meaningful events such as this. I’ve personally enjoyed looking at all the photos and getting a glimpse into an entire family’s life. I absolutely LOVE how they dressed in the 30’s. So much fur and top hats. The best. If you’d like to see our space for an event like this, we’d be more than happy to show you.
There are so many ways that we can help you and we’d love the opportunity to! Now that we have been open a few months, it has been beyond rewarding to see such amazing events take place in this building and we want nothing more than to help as many of you as possible. We serve small events and large events and everything in between. Feel free to DM us or check out the website for more information on what we have to offer, we’re here to help in any way we can! Now until February 14th, we’ll welcome you with your own mimosa bar to use for any event that you book with us! :) #coloradoevents #coloradoeventsindustry #coloradovenue #denverevents #coloradoweddingplanning #coloradowedding #industrialchic
It’s like a playground in here for photographers to capture their brides in the most beautiful and artistic ways. Clean walls, ample light, and subtle use of color will give variety and depth to every couple’s wedding portraits.
@dj_drake1 brought ALL the fun color and graphics to this magical birthday party the other night. He really transformed the space and showed us just how beautiful it can look! Not to mention the awesome tunes and killer sets to dance the night away to. We are so so lucky to have him as a local dj. He’s so good! We cannot wait for warm summer nights where you can have your dj dress up the room just like this AND have the garage doors open to let the outside mingle with the inside.
At Bestow Events, we designed our space to celebrate life’s biggest milestones and even those moments when you simply want to gather and have a great time. From stunning, full-service weddings to intimate baby and bridal showers, networking events, and more, we’re here to make your vision a reality. Winter is the perfect season to book a venue tour and discover everything we offer.

When I saw this photo, it instantly felt like a glimpse into the daydreams I had long before Bestow’s doors ever opened. Our smaller room, bathed in the most beautiful light, is a perfect setting for a first look. But beyond its aesthetic charm, it holds a deeper purpose—it serves as a serene and intimate gateway to the romantic, long aisle waiting in the main hall. This space offers the soon-to-be-wed a precious, quiet moment to pause, gather their thoughts and emotions, and fully embrace the anticipation of seeing their loved ones turn toward them on one of the most meaningful days of their life. I love these shots from @arleeyoderr
Every bride’s dress is a chapter in this evolving narrative of bridal history, a piece of art chosen to represent her unique love story. These gowns transcend fabric and thread, becoming symbols of hope, commitment, and the beginning of something eternal. We cannot wait to witness dress after dress walk down our long, romantic aisle.
Before construction even began at Bestow, we were already creating magic. ✨ To the couples considering us or those just discovering us – you have no idea how incredible your wedding will be in this space if you choose to work with us.

Have you ever chosen to do a photoshoot with a full release, straight up “fxck it” mentality? If not, I highly recommend it. You release all that energy that usually keeps you bound during the day and let it all go for the thrill of not giving af for one hour. Sigh with me: ahhhhhh, doesn’t that sound nice?? Then you throw in a highly skilled photographer into the mix to capture that mood and you get an experience that leaves you wanting more, BUT, now you’re left with photos that documented it all. 2025 is all about less fxcks and more living and we redesigned these walls at Bestow to help you do just that. Local photographer @whyforboudoir is your guy. Schedule a shoot today!
Just had the chance to go through the full gallery from @arleeyoderr ‘s recent shoot with @annietheflowerhunter at Bestow, and I am absolutely blown away! Before I even finished scrolling, I was already obsessed with these three stunning black-and-white shots. Arlee’s ability to utilize every corner of the building is incredible. I love the first photo, where the couple leans against the movable wall—it adds such dynamic dimension to the shot. The second photo, taken through the glass of the garage door, is so beautiful. And the third image, set against the clean white wall of our outdoor patio, is timeless. It’s always so inspiring to witness these incredible collaborations unfold in this space. I’m endlessly in awe of the talent and vision photographers bring to life here!

We believe it’s important to provide an affordable space that is accessible to many, but we also recognize the need to maintain industry standards and pricing. While our goal is to remain affordable, we also need to ensure we cover our costs. We’ve carefully determined our pricing structure to balance these priorities, offering buyout pricing as well as hourly rates on select days throughout the year to help make the venue accessible to a wider range of events. 2024 has been financially challenging for many, and we’re hopeful for a more steady rise in income in 2025. We believe in continuing to celebrate important moments and creating events that inspire and our efforts are deeply rooted in providing both style and opportunity, ensuring meaningful experiences for everyone.
This place is a playground for photoshoots. Whether you’re just starting out like we are, wanting to rebrand or simply just choosing to brand yourself for the first time, even if you’ve been in business for years, it’s so important to do and we would love to be a location to help enhance your brand with incredible photos.
The secrets out. Don’t leave me hanging…. For all you dance shakin’, booty rockin’, hip groovin’ baddies who are either workout instructors or dance instructors, don’t snooze on booking your sessions with us. These walls are already broken in… They’re ready for you. Need a space to rent for your next class??? $100-300 an hour depending on what day and room chosen. www.eventsbybestow.com #coloradodance #coloradodanceinstructor #hiphopclass #workoutclass #yogaclass
Vendors, you focus on capturing the magic—I’ll focus on capturing you. ;) Renting this space for photoshoots not only gives you stunning content for your clients but also leaves you with behind-the-scenes moments for yourself. It fires me up to see talented creators in their element. • Disclaimer: you can always opt out of this and tell me to bug off 😘 • Cover photo and photographer @arleeyoderr
Chairs might seem like a small detail, but they play a significant role in the overall experience of an event. They impact not only comfort but also the design and flow of the space. The right chairs can elevate a room, complementing the venue’s aesthetic and tying together the event’s theme. Whether it’s sleek and modern, timeless and elegant, or rustic and cozy, chairs set the tone for the atmosphere your guests will enjoy. At Bestow, we know that even the most practical elements—like chairs—deserve attention, as they’re a foundation for both form and function, ensuring your event feels seamless and stylish. We are SO in love with ours. We hope you love them too! They’re lightweight, unique compared to most venues, and the rattan design adds an extra layer of style that effortlessly enhances any event you host with us. Join us for a seat sometime!
Light the candles, fill your plates, and kick back! However your Christmas looks this year, we hope it leaves you feeling deeply loved and fully alive. Embrace the life you’ve been given and savor every moment. As the new year approaches, we look forward to the possibility of crossing paths with you in 2025. Our intention is to make it the best year yet. We hope you join us! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
Do we allow pets in here?? Absolutely. • @sarah_hill working her magic during a family session.
It’s a joy to watch the way the sun dances through our space, learning its rhythms and understanding how it shifts throughout the day. Mastering its cycle will be a key asset for photography and staging, as the sunlight at Bestow often becomes the true star of the show. • Beautiful photos by @kaymacstudios
If there’s one thing we’ll remind you of time and time again on your wedding day at Bestow, it’s this: cherish how it all began. The magic lies in the everyday moments, where your love is its most authentic and enduring. We hold the quiet moments and the in-between moments very dear to our hearts. • This December only, we’re offering $1,000 off our Friday and Saturday buyout pricing during the wedding season (May-Oct). If you’re planning a wedding or know someone searching for the perfect venue, send them our way! As a new space, we want to show our gratitude to those who choose to celebrate with us by offering this special pricing.
Now through the end of the year, we’re offering $1,000 off our standard Friday and Saturday wedding season pricing! Fridays are now $4,000, and Saturdays are $5,000—giving couples the chance to save big when they book before December 31st. If you or someone you know is still searching for a 2025 wedding venue, we’d love to offer a tour and share all the possibilities our space has to offer.

‘Lil sneaks of @arleeyoderr ‘s beautiful winter-inspired photo styling. ❄️❄️❄️ We would be thrilled to host a magical, snow-filled winter wedding at Bestow. Our outdoor patio seamlessly blends the beauty of the outdoors with the warmth of the indoors, creating the perfect cozy atmosphere. Picture snow gently piled up beside our garage doors, enhancing the sense of charm and intimacy while you and your guests enjoy the inviting indoor space. • Photographer @arleeyoderr Florist @annietheflowerhunter Venue @eventsbybestow Makeup @jessica.faye.beauty Dress @runawaybridalco Cake @___thecakecompany___ Stationary @anaandink • #winterwedding #winterweddings #coloradowinterwedding
Do we work with any catering company? Yes. Do we have a list of who we absolutely recommend? Most definitely. • I’ve worked with @greenspointcatering the most while running @a_florae over the last 15 years and have always been impressed by their food display and tastiness. The other night, I could’ve eaten at least 10 of their crabcake bites and stuffed myself with their empanadas. Good Lord. They were kind enough to give me some tasters. Should you be looking for a wonderful catering company, Greens Point Catering is right down the street from us! Local to Longmont, but they service the entire state of Colorado.
If you or someone you know has experienced PTSD and is seeking support, know that help is available. Consider reaching out to a licensed mental health professional, a trusted support network, or organizations specializing in PTSD care, such as the National Center for PTSD or local mental health resources. • We hope to utilize our beautiful space for retreats and workshops hosting professional educators on how to handle stress, depression, PTSD and anxiety. Should anyone out there want to host such an event or know of anyone, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We offer an hourly rate for workshops✨ • #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #ptsdwarrior #ptsdsupportdog
A common theme throughout Bestow that you will find is leather, marble and green paired with wood and white. It’s sophisticated, fresh and all pieces made with high quality materials. Combine that with nature’s beautiful plants and you’ll feel like you just stepped outside of Colorado for a little bit. • One of my favorite shots from @larsenphotoco —> Elopements, micro and full-service wedding couples, she’s is an absolutely beautiful, kind, massively talented photographer! She is high on our list of preferred vendors!
@larsenphotoco making us fall in love with our garage doors all over again. • We stayed local with our doors and used Twin Peaks Garage Doors in Longmont. They were wonderful to work with and we could not be more in love with them.
What a party!! The Gafners know how to have a good time and man are they blessed with an exceptional team! We were overjoyed to host their annual management party and secretly wish we could work for them now… • Amazing catering by @greenspointcatering • #pokerface #casinonight #casinoroyale #whathappensinbestowstaysinbestow
It is a deeply rooted honor to get the chance to highlight and honor those who show up every day to be who they are and choose to make the world a more colorful place in every form of art at the time. I’m just the messenger. • To remind you that you’re seen too. • • Photographer muse - @arleeyoderr • #neverstopcreating #fortheloveofit #denverevents #coloradowedding #coloradoweddingvenue #industrialweddingvenue #photographyshoot
Your world may feel like it’s going to swallow you up at times. • Give it hell back. You’re meant to find out why and flourish because of it.
What an incredible day watching @arleeyoderr and @annietheflowerhunter work their magic at Bestow. I have so much fun footage of behind the scenes but will wait for them to showcase their insanely pretty styled shoot first. Their attention to detail was a beautiful display of artwork unfolding and to witness it was pure joy. Our first styled shoot could not have felt more special. Thank you Arlee and Annie! • Photography @arleeyoderr Floral @annietheflowerhunter Dress @runawaybridalco
“Our place is your party” and so far we’ve got some amazing, super unique parties on the books. • What’s an amazing gathering you’ve thought about hosting or attending?? We’d love to hear!

A venue soon to be filled with many plants as we grow because there’s no shortage of light for them to bask in and we already know plants make everything better.
Receiving this note was incredibly special. Especially from two individuals I admire in the industry and one in particular who knew me before flowers and events became my way of life; when I was a bartender aspiring to grow in a way I believed I was capable of even though I didn’t necessarily know how to. Sometimes I still don’t. But for some reason I have a passion inside me that continues to fuel my direction even though I fumble often along the way. Passion can be messy, but messes can always be cleaned up. • I have a deep respect for people like this. Those that show up for you when you least expect it and instill in you that you matter and what you’re doing matters. It’s the kind of kindness that reminds you how important connection is. • One of my greatest joys from Bestow will be to bear witness to many forms of connection. Celebration, collaboration, artistry and so much more. • Bestow is a humble admission of sacrificing to dream to be a part of many realities. Human lives are intricate and so are their reasons to come together. This note feels like a beautiful honor and respect given back to us for understanding the importance of that. • Thank you J & A.
Grateful for it all because it’s all part of learning. Happy turkey day friends. • #openingday #buildout #coloradoevents #industrialdesign #eventspace #industrialvenue #mixedusedevelopment #owndowntownlongmont
Reflecting both literally and figuratively. Notice the difference in the use of the wall, photographers… First snow day since Bestow has been completed and honestly, it’s pure magic in here. To be cozy within these beautiful walls, yet entertained by falling snow right outside these big 12 foot glass garage doors; it’s stunning. If only more people knew about us yet because this place is special. For any of you that have been following along or enjoy this space as much as we do, we’d greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word and sharing our gram. The more people we can be of service to the better we will become and we want that for one goal in mind - to be an inclusive, creative space for clients and vendors to explore their talents and host some of the best memories of their lives.
Being shared this first professional photo of Bestow from @larsenphotoco brought tears to my eyes. I told her “this journey has been an intense one so thank you for sharing your beautiful talent to show our space in such a beautiful light”. She and other photographers, planners and vendors stopped by our open house over the last two days and made me feel so good hearing their praise of the space, details and light. I want Bestow to be of service to gorgeous works of photography, film, music and events and hope so much that people think it’s good enough for that. They all made me feel very welcomed into their craft and spoke very highly of what the building is capable of doing. I truly cannot wait to see magic created in here. This picture alone makes my heart skip a beat. I asked for their advice on certain things and will definitely implement all of their teachings. We have a lot to learn so we plan on learning from the best. • Thank you to everyone who came by. Your support means the world to Diego and I. 🙏🏼
Our top inquiries so far have been for children’s birthday parties, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! From first birthdays to celebrations for older kids, our venue is the perfect space for hosting guests of all ages. The highlight? Our patio doubles as a fun and safe playground where kids can run, play, and make unforgettable memories while adults enjoy the event too! And did I mention, we have not one but TWO bouncy houses that we can set up for you included in the booking?? • #longmontkids #kidsbirthdayparty #longmontevents #kidsbirthdayideas
Thank you for this incredible photo @austinw2124 !! Come see us TODAY and TOMORROW for open house. We’d love to start brainstorming with you! Bring a friend! • Today 12-2pm and 4-6pm Monday 4-7pm • #longmontevents #longmontcolorado #longmont #longmonteventvenue #outdootpatio
No filter. Pure magic. #itsfiveoclocksomewhere and here it’s beautiful. Unreal.
One of my absolute favorite realizations last night was seeing what we can do with the bar area (our bar is mobile though and can be moved anywhere!) and this corner in general with lighting. We will have up-lighting behind the bar but with the right angle we can create the most epic reflection on the wall. It was awesome. This means we can play with this during photography shoots as well. I’m telling you, this building is a playground to get funky and free with. • #letsmakemagic #downtownlongmont
What a night!!! Friends who are family surrounded us with love and light and the most amazing heartfelt support. Diego and I are truly blessed. We hosted a Friendsgiving to give us a little taste of Bestow as a venue and for he and I to work out any kinks, although we know we still have a few things to complete. But to be able to sit down at the table and look across all these beautiful faces and this beautiful building, I can honestly say we are very proud. Very very proud. It’s a gorgeous venue and we could see so clearly its potential. The lighting, the flow of the space, the patio, it’s all so wonderful and my goodness we can’t wait to see it transformed over and over again. Bestow is such a gorgeous canvas to play with. • If you want to see it for yourself! Please join us for our open houses tomorrow 12-2pm and 4-6pm and Monday 4-7pm. Sunday from 4-6pm we will have live music from Austin Woods! You don’t want to miss that! • #friendsgiving #gatherandfeast #coloradolife
Looking at these photos brings up a lot of emotions, but one thing I find fascinating is that I completely, 100% forgot that the floors were checkered before. That had absolutely no bearing on me deciding to make that floor checkered tile today. Funny, I suppose some things are just simply supposed to be left the way they were :-) I like that. I kept the brick in this room untouched because I wanted this building to show off its bones. She’s beautiful and I knew it the moment I set eyes on her walking inside. I have always deeply loved older buildings and ones that people would consider rundown. Bringing this building to Life has been one of my greatest joys, even with the massive fear along the way. • We’d love for you to visit this Sunday and Monday during our open houses. Come see how we can nurture those new memories for you. • Sunday, Nov 24 12-2pm and 4-6pm Monday, Nov 25 4-7pm #youcandohardthings #coloradoevents #coloradoeventsindustry #industrialdesign #eventspace #planyourevent
Join us on Sunday, November 24, from 4-7 PM for an evening of incredible music at Bestow! Austin Woods from @northwoodsband1 will be treating us to a free live acoustic performance (huge thanks, Austin!). Experience the magic of heartfelt melodies paired with the warm glow of our dimmable Edison bulbs—pure romance in the making. I can’t wait to share this unforgettable night with you! We’ll have florals from @a_florae to show off how event florals can feel in here as well! • We have three open houses set, Sunday, November 24 from 12 to 2 PM and again from 4 to 6 PM. Monday, November 25 from 4 to 7 PM. We’d love to see you!! • #longmontmusic #owndowntownlongmont #livemusic #openhouse #eventspace #coloradoeventsindustry #coloradoevents
The wait is over! We’re beyond excited to invite you into Longmont’s newest, most versatile multi-use event space! And because we know life is busy, we’re hosting a two-day event with multiple time slots to make it easy for as many of you as possible to stop by (we hope!) and take a peek at the space we designed just for YOU. • We’ll have it styled in a variety of ways to inspire your imagination, and I (Rachel) can’t wait to chat with you, answer your questions, and dream up all the amazing ways this space could be used for your events. Seriously, it lights me up to brainstorm ideas with you! • And don’t miss our special Sunday slot from 4–7 PM, featuring live acoustic music by the incredible Austin from @northwoodsband1, so you can experience just how magical the sound is in here. • Bring a friend, follow along this week for how it all came to be, and enter for a chance to win the space for a birthday party in 2025! All you have to do is show up and put your name in our drawing box. We’ll show a video of us picking the winner on Tuesday, 11/26. Let’s create something unforgettable together! • Somos una empresa bilingüe y tendremos a Diego en el lugar para responder cualquier pregunta en español, ¡para que todo sea más fácil de entender! • #owndowntownlongmont #longmontevents #longmont #longmontcolorado #longmontco #longmontlove
I really wish Diego could have been in this photo – he truly earned this moment! He did an incredible job managing our schedule and timeline to make this day possible. Receiving our Certificate of Occupancy was such a monumental step for us. The best part is that we’re now fully ready to start booking our space, and we can’t wait to show you everything it can offer! This is Trina and she helped us so much throughout this process so it was very special to get a picture with her :) #coloradoeventsindustry #coloradoeventvenue #industrialdesign #industrialeventvenue
We have exciting news to share—our final inspection is complete, and we’ve received our Certificate of Occupancy! But before we dive into all the updates, we want to highlight an incredible company that made a world of difference in our journey. If you have any commercial or residential construction needs, you need to know about @gima_renovation. Our experience with GIMA Renovation went above and beyond every expectation. Having dealt with a range of contractors, we can confidently say that Ivan and his team are a rare find. They’re trustworthy, genuinely prioritize your best interests, and deliver top-quality work. Being referred to GIMA was one of the best things that happened to us, making our entire construction process with Bestow smoother and more successful. Don’t hesitate—hire GIMA for your next project. #coloradoconstruction #coloradocontractor #coloradorenovation
Another new chair, alert. Patio chairs are here!
Even in the mess, she shines. #eventspacerenovation #commercialconstruction #commercialrenovation #soclose
Receiving these chairs feels like such a victory! There was a lot of stress leading up to this moment, especially after my original order fell through when the supplier informed me they didn’t have enough stock and couldn’t get more until December. I didn’t want just any chairs; I was looking for something unique that would complement the aesthetic of the venue. So, I searched high and low to find chairs that fit our vision and could be delivered in time for our first event next weekend. A huge thanks to @richwoodimportsinc in Ontario, CA, for stepping in and not only providing beautiful, comfortable, lightweight chairs that suit the space even better than my first choice, but also saving us $2,000! Now, as I unbox all 150 of these, I feel a great sense of relief and excitement for the finishing touches coming together in the next few days. Today is a very good day!
Taken at 10pm last night. It sure is a light show in here.
I hope to see many selfies in front of these walls ;)
Could NOT be more obsessed with the wallpaper in the bathrooms. Thank you to Susan with @figandivyhome for showing me samples to choose from. Once I saw these, nothing else was good enough. Now to paint the walls and the ceiling! ;)
Because the alternative is worse. I wouldn’t understand the depths of who I really am and what I’m designed for nor have the confidence to know how good of a person I am. The end result is not for me, but the ‘getting there’ is. The middle; where it’s the most hard and feels the heaviest, that’s where I learn and what I’m not willing to give up. My dreams have always been fueled by working tirelessly to get there. They’ve never been given nor expected to be. • After a long night of processing fear for many different reasons, I walked into Bestow to look at wallpaper and learned that unbeknownst to me (I’m sure because my husband wanted to surprise me as he’s in charge of the schedule) that we had two final inspections this morning, for plumbing and mechanical. We passed. This leaves only electrical standing in our way to get CO. After 20 intense months, we are now one day away from being legally allowed to use our space. • A space that will never be just a space. A venue that will never be just a venue. It’s a building representing a literal dream come true and one with all kinds of messy middle getting there. • I am very grateful for the middle because it provides Bestow with what no other venue will ever have — our “what it took to get there.” That is what will set us a part.
It’s hit different receiving our first table and chair. I sat at that table in silence for a long time. #openingavenue #industrialdesign #industrialvenue #mixedusedevelopment #mixeduse
