Holiday Gathering Guide: Perfect Colorado Event Places

Most Colorado event planners have the same item topping their wish list this season — they want the perfect event place to hold their upcoming holiday shindig or company event. Now, we all know that the first step toward making a party memorable is to find the perfect event venue. After all, the event space is the foundation upon which you build your party theme. It can lend the gathering flavor, inspire a theme and even transport your guests to a different time and place in history.

Begin with event location. Views of the moon shimmering across the snow-covered countryside will give your gathering a backdrop straight off a holiday greeting card as can be said of The Broadmoor. Then again, there’s nothing quite like the vision of thousands of sparkling city lights from a high rise event space far above the streets of the city.

Consider a golf course or country club banquet room, Colorado event center, or restaurant with private room to take advantage of that exact kind of surrounding ambiance that seems custom made for a holiday gathering.

Then again, maybe this year you’d like to stir things up. At this stage of Colorado event planning, your company event is like a blank canvas. What you envision can emerge if you just tap into your imagination.  For example, a gathering in a gallery or a theater can be an elegant and sophisticated milieu. Plenty of museums offer event space and would serve to stimulate interesting conversations among installations. An evening at a vineyard rental or wine tasting room could conjure up a European mood as would one of many mansion event centers in your city that are available to accommodate you. Think of historical public places (libraries, government buildings, even zoo parks or a community center in your Colorado community. Chances are, there are exceptional event spaces available in all of them.

In fact, you may even stumble across another unique event space in our Colorado directory of event venues.

On a boat, on a train, in a hanger with a plane? Your gathering could be a moving experience when you host it on a boat — a dinner cruise complete with dancing and music might be just the ticket. Or, all aboard an excursion train to evoke a feeling of nostalgia and rekindle a fondness for a bygone era.  Then again, your guests could be flying high in a event place where the emphasis is on soaring above the clouds.

For a party that’s literally on the go, explore event transportation and travel by limousine or travel by bus or simply reserve a shuttle for your company event.

Finally, let’s not forget it is winter. Snow and cold means fun, both indoors and out. Why not try a resort for events where there are sleigh rides, sledding or even ice skating? Or keep things low-key with an activity-based brouhaha at a Colorado event center that offers bowling and/or bocce ball, arcades, casino gaming or even a sporting event.

Look into these event places in our expansive Colorado event venues directory or complete Colorado listing of resorts for events  — for a wintery wonderland no-tie affair.

Whether you’re going for a traditional Dickens type holiday or feel like mixing things up in a sparkly jumble of lights and sounds, your holiday event will shine in the end when you begin with the perfect event place.
