Venues & Event Spaces near Laporte, CO

“My wife and I got married at Rist Canyon in September 2023 and it was amazing! Allan and Emily were responsive, friendly, professional and organized, and the venue itself is beautiful with plenty of space (we had about 75 guests). The farmhouse was perfect for the bridal party to get together in. It ended up raining on our wedding day but they had towels and umbrellas for the guests ready to go for us to still hold the ceremony outside. They were quick to move our cocktail hour inside and couldn't have responded to the situation better. We were stressed about it but everything went as smooth as it could have! I didn't even notice most of the logistical things that were happening around me because it was all so smooth and unobtrusive. It stopped raining eventually so everyone could enjoy the outside grounds, which are beautiful. We were going for a bit of a "mountain vibe" but wanted a location that was easily accessible for our guests, and RCI was perfect (most guests stayed in Ft Collins). Their preferred vendor list also helped us in deciding on other vendors, and the day of coordinator they set us up with was AMAZING and we ended up hiring her as a full-on wedding planner. (shout-out to Dana!) All in all, a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, RCI! (Also worth noting that they are very LGBT-friendly!)”

“I will 10000% recommend this place to anyone, anytime, for any event! My husband and I got married here a few weeks ago and had the absolute best experience from start to finish. The entire staff is so friendly and great at their jobs. Special shout out to Laurence, our reception captain, who felt more like a VERY helpful guest than a staff member. Grace, Adam, and Erin all took great care of us and our guests all night, and Zoë and Leah were so helpful in the planning process!A huge, huge notable mention to chef Gavin (I hope I’m remembering his name correctly. So sorry if not!) and the kitchen staff for taking every possible precaution to safely serve my sister in law with Celiac disease. She reported no reactions to any of the food and that it was “one of the best, if not THE best experiences eating out”. Cannot express our gratitude enough! On top of that, the food is honestly fantastic and was a huge hit with all of our guests.Thank you Tapestry House, we love y’all!!”

“Always have a great time when we go. I've brought family and have had some date nights here. The teachers are always great and walk around to help. Feel free to ask questions and the bar has great drinks! They have aprons but I would recommend painting friendly clothes. You'll have a great time and a painting afterwards!”

“Today is my last day in Fort Collins. I decided to grab a cup of coffee before hitting the road. I made a great decision choosing Wolverine Farm for my coffee choice. They have such a beautiful space and their concept of coffee, beer and books is brilliant. The noise level is pleasant. They play mellow music which isn't loud at all.Staff is friendly as well. I ordered a simple dark roast drip coffee and drank it inside. Coffee is great! Not watered down and not overpowering. They have a nice coffee bar to sit at along with 4-5 tables to sit at as well. This place makes for a great meeting place. Especially for warmer weather. There is a beautiful outside patio with plenty of tables to sit at. It gets better as you walk upstairs. There is a nice side room with shelves of books and two chairs. Ideal for a cozy reading nook. They also have a large size community meeting space. There is a large table with plenty of chairs to sit at. Consider this business for your community meetings. I suggest calling and inquiring booking an event with them.If you enjoy good coffee, books and art, this place would definitely appeal to your interests. Wish I lived in Fort Collins as I would visit here often. I highly recommend checking them out. Out of towners, you would enjoy this place for a grab and go coffee option or a place to pause and plan out the day's adventures. Hope you have a great experience!”

“Orthopedic and Spine Center of the Rockies (OCR) LOVES OTP!!!!! We hosted our Spine party at OTP. It was a perfect night. Dana, the owner and his staff put together a bracket system for a fun competition of skeetball, putt putt, basketball and more. Dana stuck around to make sure our group was well taken care of. A totally perfect hit with our staff. I can't wait to plan the next party!!! Thank you Dana! Dreaming of the Hibiscus Gin Moscow Mule!!! SOOOO Good.”

“We had a great time working at Block One Events as wedding photographers/videographers! It's perfectly situated in the heart of Fort Collins, just a stone's throw from downtown. The place has this perfect blend of city vibes and nature, with a field and a trail next to it for some sweet nature shots. The venue had a beautiful outdoor ceremony site and a spacious reception hall that made for perfect pictures. Plus, the staff are super friendly and easy to work with.Totally recommend this spot if you're looking for a great venue!”

“Best wine tasting and such fun learning to blend. Staff was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Accommodating to every need. Great wines. Terrific experience and would do it again. Beautiful location, great photos. Fun evening for all that attended.”

“Great venue. Show last night was incredibly disappointing but The Lincoln Center has no control over that. City of. Fort Collins does a wonderful job bringing in many quality performances. Thank you. The Lincoln Center continues to impress. Great staff and venue! Thanks Fort Collins for having this amazing venue.”

“Our company has their picnics on one of the islands where we get on West dock. The kids love swimming in the water and enjoy the boat ride to the island. This is a great family place. The catering provided always ends in really good meals.”

“I had my wedding at nice restaurant in Denver then my immediate family stayed at the Wilder Nest we had all of the home to ourselves for a night the following day the yard to play games and we had a BBQ this place could be used for anything you'd like! It was like family included honey moon/vacation! I loved it and at close proximity to horsetooth we went paddle boarding as a family! I will defiantly host an event again here someday! The property manger was sooo nice!”

“Our office party at the Agave room was fantastic, and the staff of the Agave room made all the difference. Melissa was such a treat to work with during the planning phase. She made sure I understood my options and was very responsive when we had a huge guest count change. Mel, the event manager, was so on top of things the day of. Our buffet was always full, our drinks were always flowing, and I got the best feedback from all of my guests. Such a great value, and amazing service. We will definitely recommend, and I can't wait to work with them again.”

“Really nice folks and rustic but adequate facilities. Considered having our wedding reception there but went with a venue closer to town for the convenience of the out of town guests ☺️”

“Staff was very friendly. The rooms were nice and clean. Temperature controls could use some help to keep a constant room temp at night to not wake from being too cold and then too warm. Hallways had a musty smell but the rooms did not and the elevator could be vacuumed on a more frequent basis with the amount of guests. No pool and no free breakfast are the biggest items holding this hotel back from 5 stars.”

“We had our wedding (both the ceremony and the reception) at the Drake Centre and could not be more happy with our venue! Our main point of contact for the 11 months of planning was Sara Sanders, who was absolutely amazing. She was very responsive to any and all emails (I got responses within 24 hours every single time) and was super helpful with logistics. She was always ready and willing to call and/or meet when we needed it. The Drake Centre is an incredibly affordable wedding venue, and the rental includes chairs, tables, setup, and a staff member for your event. It also includes things like microphones, podiums, a mobile bar, etc. when needed. Additionally, the staff will put up any wall decorations you bring. This was the perfect place to have a DIY wedding (they have recommended vendors, but you can use any vendor as long as you get said vendor's liability insurance). It has a ton of available parking, accessible and clean bathrooms, and plenty of space to use for even a large wedding. I highly recommend using the Drake Centre for any event!”

“Staff is always on top of it and taking care of their customers. The staff is the reason I come back because virtual golf is everywhere. XGolf Foco is where it is at!”

“I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! My family is visiting from Washington and everyone here has made us feel like we are home. I have my dog, North with me and the staff remember his name, give him treats..he's actually excited to go down into the lobby! EVERY staff member we have met has been extra kind and has blown us away. The room is beautiful, clean, comfortable!I am completely sold and would recommend to anyone coming to Fort Collins! Easy walk to anything you may need! Thank you Armstrong!Rooms: CLEAN and beautiful... comfortableNearby activities: Bars, restaurants, tons of shops, putt putt golf!Safety: The hotel opens the door remotely for you after hours, or you use key card. Private hotel parkingWalkability: You can walk to any type of food or amenities within a few minutesFood & drinks: Coffee shop and nearby food everywhere”

“Andre took amazing care of us despite how busy it was. He made our drinks, brought us our food, and had such a wonderful attitude, not to mention how knowledgeable and patient he was with all our dietary restrictions. Amazing vegan and gluten free options!! Great location and very impressed with the service, will definitely be recommending this to all my friends in town!”

“Such a quaint hotel. The staff is amazing! Christopher and Michaela at the front desk are beyond helpful! They were very nice to me and my family and helped us plan our stay in Fort Collins. They are beyond the best!”

“TLDR: Comfortable, delicious dining experience. Can't wait to come back again (from a breakfast chef)!I had seen a lot of "hype" for ginger and baker while planning our trip to Fort Collins. Generally I am hesitant about heavily promoted spots.Well... my expectations were blown away. The farm stand skillet was smoky, fatty (in the best way), cheesy, and with perfectly done eggs and the fresh peppers/pico my tastebuds were in heaven.Now, my fiancé and I have a running quest to find the best French dip. G&B, your French dip is DIVINE. The bread has the perfect crunch : soft ratio. The roast was heavenly, flavorful, tender... I often find that restaurants use the cheaper cuts for a French dip, and this was not that. This sandwich honored the glory and comfort a French dip gives the world.The au jus was good, not my personal favorite; it was a bit too sweet for my liking. I still enjoyed it though. I do wish we had ordered the French dip with extra horseradish, the horseradish got a bit lost between the complexities of all the other delicious components.I also really enjoyed our service here. Our server was casual, but also knowledgeable and personable; I noticed the rest of the team doing the same. He stopped by at all the perfect times.”

“So you usually have to reserve ahead online if you want good seats. But MAN does this theater have some seriously comfy - worh every penny - seats. Food is solid and the temperature of the theater was very comfortable”

“This is a clean and affordable theater. In the entryway there is an arcade and snack bar. Theater rooms are large and clean. We were hoping for chairs that recline more but the ones in theater room 15 were still above average and comfortable.”
