You Want to Have Your Corporate Event at Spruce Mountain Ranch: Here's What You Need to Know

Planning a corporate event that truly impresses your team, clients, or stakeholders requires more than just booking a venue—it demands a setting that elevates your occasion and simplifies the planning process. At Spruce Mountain Ranch, we've perfected the art of hosting corporate celebrations that combine Colorado's stunning natural beauty with world-class amenities and seamless execution.

Whether you're organizing an intimate executive retreat, a company-wide celebration, or an elegant gala, understanding the planning essentials ensures your event runs flawlessly. Here's everything you need to know about bringing your corporate vision to life at our Colorado mountain venue.

Scheduling Your Tour and Booking Your Date

Timing is everything when it comes to securing your ideal event date. Here are our recommended timelines for touring and booking based on the type of event you are planning:

Large Events or Retreats: Tour/book 8-12 months in advance to ensure availability and provide ample planning time for comprehensive programs.

Small Events or Off-Site Meetings: Tour/book 3-6 months ahead to secure your preferred date while maintaining flexibility in your planning timeline.

Holiday Parties: Reach out as early as possible. Many companies compete for limited dates at popular event venues during the holiday season. At Spruce Mountain Ranch, we sometimes have holiday event dates booked a full year in advance, so early planning is essential for securing your preferred celebration date. To immediately inquire about our availability, please call Spruce Mountain Ranch at (720)-560-9507.

Choosing Your Vendors to Match Your Event Vision

To ensure a flawless event experience, we ask that clients select caterers from Spruce Mountain Ranch's required caterers list. Additionally, a professional event coordinator is required to assist with your corporate event planning and execution, ensuring every detail flows seamlessly.

Additional outside vendors may be selected by clients, provided they are licensed and insured where applicable. A complete list of all vendors must be submitted to Spruce Mountain at least thirty days prior to your event. For a list of all event requirements, check out our Events Page!

Formal Company Banquets or Galas

For upscale corporate occasions, sophistication is paramount. We recommend a carefully crafted, multi-course seated dinner to wow your attendees and demonstrate the care you've invested in honoring your employees or clients. Refined seating arrangements and elevated décor create the appropriate atmosphere—think personalized name cards, elegant centerpieces, and perhaps even a sophisticated photo backdrop for those website-worthy photo opportunities that showcase your company culture. A decked-out mainstage for any speakers and addresses is sure to give your space the elevated feel your guests and presenters deserve for such a special occasion.

Corporate Events or Conferences

Flexibility becomes your greatest asset for these gatherings. Shorter events benefit from grazing tables that offer quick, convenient bites without interrupting the flow of your networking conversations. Longer conferences might call for economical plated dinners that keep attendees satisfied and maintain productive dialogue, or provide a break depending on the timeline of the day.

While these events may not require all the glitz and glamour of a formal gala, you'll still need staging for speakers or presentations, plus thoughtful décor that helps attendees feel comfortable and engaged. Consider more casual photo opportunities—perhaps a photo booth or greenery wall featuring your company signage or a neon-lit company hashtag perfect for those LinkedIn posts that extend your event's reach.

Holiday Business Parties

Your company culture is unique—your catering and décor should reflect that individuality. Whether you choose a playful food truck experience or an elegant buffet spread, select a style that authentically represents your team's personality. Festive, holiday, or winter-themed décor is essential for any holiday party. As with catering, adjust your décor levels and themes based on your company culture, ensuring the celebration feels genuine rather than generic. Take a look at our Holiday Package and work with our venue staff to customize the details to fit your company’s needs.

Working with Your Catering and Décor Partners

Your company's event planning team will collaborate with your chosen catering vendor to carefully craft menus based on event type, structure, dietary and cultural food restrictions, and budget considerations. This partnership ensures every attendee feels considered and valued.

For décor and activities, while Event Rents is our required vendor for tables, furniture, and other event needs, we maintain relationships with numerous recommended vendors for everything else you might envision. Photo booths, interactive games, specialized food and beverage stations—you name it, we can make it happen.
