Your wedding weekend is more than the ceremony, it’s about the celebrations before and after. At The Lariat, we help you set the tone and keep the party going:

• Welcome Receptions: Gather your guests with craft cocktails, scratch-made food, and the warm, connected atmosphere of a true music venue.

• Rehearsal Dinners: Pair a custom menu with a stage-ready space designed for togetherness.

• After-Parties: When the wedding dance floor closes, ours is just getting started. With late-night bites and room for live music or DJs, this is where your people cut loose.

• Gourmet Catering: featuring a diverse, internationally and locally inspired cuisine and artisanal desserts

• Signature Cocktails: craft beers, wine, and customizable specialty drinks

• Unparalleled Music & Entertainment Options: live bands, DJs, personal playlists

If you and your guests love music, this is where your wedding weekend will feel complete.

Bring a fresh energy to business and social gatherings. Unlike a ballroom, our stage, lighting, and sound create an atmosphere that’s engaging from the first toast to the last song.

• Corporate Retreats & Offsites: A mountain-town backdrop that sparks creativity.

• Holiday Parties: Food, drinks, and a lively vibe that gets everyone out of “conference mode.”
