Tailgates, watch parties, lake days and celebrations at scale.

Culinary Parties FAQ

The practical details behind planning an interactive culinary experience in Denver.

Is Culinary Parties a catering company?

No. Catering generally centers on delivering or serving food. Culinary Parties creates an interactive experience with live preparation, hospitality, entertainment elements, setup and cleanup.

How much does a Culinary Party cost?

Events have a $2,000 minimum. A 15-person experience often plans around $2,250 and a 20-person experience around $2,500. Larger events receive custom scalable pricing based on menu and scope.

Why does the per-person cost decrease for larger groups?

Many setup, equipment and staffing costs are shared across the event. We can also adjust the menu and service format so larger groups receive significantly better per-person value.

Can you accommodate 40, 70 or 100 guests?

Yes. Culinary Parties can be designed for groups of 12 to 100 or more. Large-event menus, staffing and service formats are customized around the venue, budget and overall experience.

Could a 100-person event really be planned around $5,000?

Potentially, yes. With the right menu and service format, a 100-person event may be designed around that investment. Final pricing depends on staffing, location, beverages, rentals and scope.

What is included in the experience?

Inclusions vary by theme but may include chefs, hosts, bartending, ingredients, cooking equipment, buffet or service setup, music, games and cleanup. Your proposal will list exactly what is included.

Where can we host a Culinary Party?

We can come to suitable homes, vacation rentals, private venues and outdoor locations. Events may also be hosted at select Experience Guide properties, subject to availability and event approval.

What if we do not already have a venue?

Experience Guide offers private group lodging and event-friendly properties in Denver and near Red Rocks. We can help you explore a combined property and Culinary Party plan.

Can our group stay overnight at an Experience Guide property?

Yes. Select Experience Guide properties sleep groups of up to 20, 30 or 50 guests, creating an easy way to combine lodging and the culinary experience in one place.

Can you provide transportation?

Yes. Private chauffeured group transportation may be added for airport pickups, event transfers, nights out, tailgates and other itinerary needs.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

We can often accommodate common dietary needs with advance notice. Share all allergies and restrictions during planning so the culinary team can confirm what is safely possible.

Are alcoholic beverages included?

Beverage service varies by package and location. Bartending and curated beverage options may be available, subject to the event plan, venue rules and applicable requirements.

What areas do you serve?

Culinary Parties primarily serves Denver, nearby communities and the Colorado foothills. Events outside the primary service area may be possible depending on date, staffing and travel requirements.

How far in advance should we book?

Booking early provides the best choice of dates, themes, staffing and properties. Large events and popular weekends should ideally begin planning several months in advance.

Do you handle setup and cleanup?

Yes. Setup and cleanup are central to the experience. The exact scope depends on the package and venue and will be clearly defined in your proposal.
