Private Parties

Every Reason to Gather

Anniversaries, birthdays, showers, graduations, reunions, and the milestones in between.

Private Parties

Too big for a house, too personal for a back room

A great many occasions fall into the gap between a dining room and a restaurant's private corner. An anniversary, a milestone birthday, a baby shower, a graduation, a family reunion: each one needs a proper room, a meal, and somewhere people can actually hear one another.

We host these all year, and the scale is yours to set. The Aspen Room suits up to 100, the Ballroom up to 225, and the Garden Room works either for a smaller group or as extra seating alongside one of the others.

Daytime gatherings

For a shower, a lunch, or a graduation party, our kitchen offers a brunch menu alongside the buffet and passed hors d'oeuvres options. The Aspen Room's floor-to-ceiling windows onto the gardens make it a genuinely bright room for a daytime event.

Bringing your own caterer

Families often have a caterer they have used for years, or want a cuisine that means something particular to them. The Venue Package gives you full access to the venue and all of our rentals while your own caterer takes care of the food.

Outdoors when the weather allows

The gardens, the waterfall, and the covered patio come into their own in the warmer months, and suit graduation parties and summer reunions especially well. Any booking that depends on being outdoors includes an indoor backup space at no extra cost.

Keeping it simple

Tables, Chiavari chairs, linens, china, glassware, silverware, and centerpieces are all included, and our staff handles setup and breakdown, so the day does not finish with your family stacking chairs.

The practical side

Every booking includes six hours of event time and more than 250 free parking spaces on site. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available on request, and our kitchen can adapt most dishes if you let us know in advance. Bar service is optional and runs through our licensed bartenders, with hosted bar, cash bar, and drink ticket options. You will find us on Revere Parkway in Centennial, minutes from Greenwood Village, Englewood, and the Denver Tech Center.
