All for the Best — CO Venues Famous for Their Fare

Imagine you’ve chosen the most stunning Colorado venue with grand architecture, expansive event space, and superior service. Then imagine that the meal you serve in these magnificent surroundings is completely forgettable, or worse, absolutely awful? When choosing your event venue, why not focus on a space that is not only impressive, but known for serving only superior cuisine as well? Consider these Colorado venues famous for their fare:

The Venue:  Because of its association with the Infinity Park campus, the Center can offer both traditional event spaces such as the ballroom and conference rooms, as well as less traditional outdoor spaces such as the terrace, plazas, and even the rugby field. Spaces at the center can accommodate as few as dozen to as many as thousands.

The Fare:  Infinity Park Event Center works exclusively with a select group of preferred caterers, including notable, award-winning chefs from Bistro Boys Catering, Epicurean Caterers, Serendipity Catering, and Three Tomatoes.

The Venue:  With ample space for as many as 2000 guests, the Hangar at Stanley interiors can be transformed from corporate to classic. Covering a total of 18,500 square feet, the Hangar sits right by the former site of the original Denver airport’s main runway. Built in 1954, the hangar doors open onto what used to be a jetway that led directly to runway 26. The Hangar is recognized as a local historic landmark.

The Fare:  The unique, one-of-kind space demands that the quality of the food served be as superior as the surroundings. As such, The Hangar at Stanley works exclusively with a select group of preferred caterers, including notable, award-winning chefs from A Spice of Life, Biscuits + Berries, Footers Catering and Occasions Catering to name just a few.

The Venue:  The prominent Denver architect, Michael Knorr, designed this iconic building which sits on land purchased by Edwin P. Harman in 1871, and became the birthplace of Cherry Creek, Colorado. With its mid-century modern design, warm and welcoming décor, artistic wall coverings, and period-inspired lighting, it offers a timeless setting for an event of up to 150 guests.

The Fare:  Venue 221 works exclusively with a select group of preferred caterers, including notable, award-winning chefs from All Love Catering, A Spice of Life Catering, Relish Catering + Events, and The Gourmet Kitchen to name just a few. Preparing your feast with the highest quality ingredients, Venue 221’s on-site kitchen ensures the food is hot and delicious when served.

The Venue:  For as few as 20 to as many as 1000, Arvada Events at Arvada Center welcomes guests to a well-appointed ballroom with 12,000 square feet of meeting and reception space, along with two gorgeous and green public golf courses, each with the facilities and capacity to host your next golf tournament.

The Fare:  Arvada’s Executive Chef has packed the menu with everything from simple home-style comfort foods to elegant buffets and plated meals that showcase seasonal local favorites.  Starting with crab stuffed mushroom caps to carved prime rib and ending with coffee and dessert, Arvada’s cuisine will leave all your guests feeling satisfied.

The Venue:  Famous for their award-winning outdoor gardens, the Denver Botanic Gardens also has four indoor spaces available to create an elegant setting for your event. Outdoor spaces include the amphitheater, the Orangery (similar to a greenhouse,) the South African Plaza, the Water Garden Gazebo, and the West Terrace. Indoor spaces include the Gates Garden Court, Gates Hall, Marnie’s Pavilion, and Mitchell Hall.

The Fare:  Offshoots at the Garden Café and Hive Garden Bistro both offer guests a fresh and delicious choice of salads, soups, sandwiches, and burgers. For more formal and expanded menu options, the Botanic Gardens recommends their preferred caterer, Catering by Design.

The Venue:  Charming and rustic, the entryway, reception hall and gardens at the Church Ranch Event Center are inviting and welcoming atmosphere for any meeting or event.  The beautiful grounds that surround the center are forested and green, with the magical sight and musical sound of fountains and ponds.

The Fare:  Church Ranch Event Center works exclusively with a select group of preferred caterers, including notable, award-winning chefs from Green Point Catering, Bread Winners Catering, Heart’s Desire Catering, and Modern Edge Catering, to name just a few.
