The Terrace Gardens at Dove Valley: located in Centennial two miles east of I-25 along Arapahoe Rd., with beautiful private courtyard gardens…  The Terrace Gardens at Ken Caryl, located just off of Ken Caryl Avenue and C-470, with overlooking beautiful Deer Creek Golf Course and with a sweeping view of the Dakota Ridge foothills.

People ask what the differences are between our two facilities.  Besides the obvious difference of location and the surrounding views, the other difference is that at our Dove Valley location you may offer either a cash bar for your guests (in which case you often qualify for  substantial credit back toward your room rental fees), or you can use us as your “liquor store” with no delivery charges and very competitive pricing. At our Ken Caryl facility you simply provide your own alcohol for us to serve.

Our two event facilities are owned and operated by Panache Catering, Inc.; in business under the same ownership since we opened in 1982. By purchasing both the facility and catering from one entity you will realize significant overall savings. In fact, during the slower months of the year when we are providing both catering and the facility, you will find that we waive the facility rental fees and just charge for the catering.

QUICK FACTS:

Room Capacities:

Dove Valley: 100-500 guests, depending upon your room selection (plus patio and garden area) Ken Caryl: 100 to 600, depending upon your room selection (plus patio and garden area)

Room Rental Pricing:

Dove Valley: $950 on up for 100 guests: $1450 on up for 150-200 guests. Ken Caryl: $1575 on up for up to 150 guests, $2185 for 175 to 290 guests.

Typical Alcohol Cost:

If you are hosting the bar at either of our facilities a good “rule of thumb” is $4.50 to $5.00 per adult guest will cover the alcohol cost for your entire event.  This is about the same amount as one drink at most venues.

What is included:

Facility rental includes tables, chairs, dance floor, free parking and indoor/outdoor space for four hours of guest time plus 1.5 hours prior for vendor set up and 1 hour after for vendor breakdown. Catering services include all food as ordered, linens, fine china, silverware, buffet and/or other service ware, all soft drinks and hot beverages, ice and cups, bartenders, cutting your cake, serving the champagne toast if you wish one, room set up, breakdown, and all staff services. 

What is not included:

You provide your own wedding cake, flowers or other décor beyond the décor that is already in the rooms, you also provide your own DJ or other entertainment.  You will provide any alcohol that you wish to have served; at Ken Caryl it will come from your preferred liquor store (or we will order it at your expense if you wish) and at Dove Valley you will order it from us at favorable pricing that will be very similar to what you will pay at a typical liquor store.  Additional time beyond the four hours of guest time is available at an hourly charge of $350 unless you are renting the entire building, in which case the cost is $450.  Set up of wedding ceremonies, when Panache is catering, is charged at $1.25 per guest.

What we will not do:

We will not lie to you or try to deceive you. We will not charge you for “add ons” such as cake cutting fees or corkage fees. We will not tack on fees for items like china, linens, silverware and soft drinks or bartenders. We will not make promises that we cannot keep.

What we will do:

We will be happy to sit down with you from the start and write out a budget based on your preferences; this will outline the complete projected cost of your event including all fees, service charges and tax. Our packages include everything that we know is needed for events like yours, with the only exception being those items that only a smaller portion of our clients will need; those items will be listed clearly and will be included in any cost estimate that we provide for you prior to engaging our services. Our events will be properly staffed with enough professionals to do the job right.

Menus:

We provide a wide variety of menus including buffets, seated-served menus and cocktail menus.  Our full brochure contains over a dozen menus for you to use as a starting point.  We are happy to custom design menus as well, or to customize a menu to suit your personal preferences… more vegetarian options, or perhaps a specific ethnic dish that you would like to have included.

For the sake of brevity we have included a sample menu for you to review… we hope that it will give you a good sense of what your dollar will buy at our event locations.  In addition, we have listed a number of items that appear on our other menus so that you may get an idea of what else is available. Again, if you would like, please ask us to mail you or email you our full brochure with all of our sample menus.
