Reviews of Chautauqua Dining Hall

Chautauqua Dining Hall provided us the perfect venue for our dream wedding. Everything was done perfectly and professionally and the staff was superb. Special thanks to Lauren Kaufman who pretty much acted as our wedding coordinator. Laurent was the most on-top-of-things person we dealt with during our entire wedding process. She was never pushy and made great suggestions to us. Most importantly, she listened to what we wanted and what we had to say and made her recommendations based on our needs. We simply couldn't have pulled off the wedding we did without Lauren. She is the best!

Chautauqua Dining Hall was a beautiful venue and all of our guests not only had a great time, but told us how amazing Chautauqua was. Everything about it was perfect and we actually came in under our budget because of the value of Chautauqua and Lauren's recommendations.

Have your event here! Trust us, it'll be the best decision you make!

Amazing wedding venue!!

We had a wonderful wedding at Chautauqua! Everything about the experience was perfect -- the food, drinks, beautiful setting, and staff made our event so memorable. Heather, the event coordinator, was especially helpful in coordinating our reception. Her communication, friendly nature, flexibility and attention to detail were outstanding. We would definitely recommend a wedding reception at the Chautauqua Dining Hall to anyone!

We held our wedding at Chautauqua Dining Hall in Boulder at the beginning of June. We started our day in the morning with brunch, held the ceremony on the green, and then moved back inside to dance to a small live band. It was a completely wonderful day.
Any event requires planning. Nia Williams, the Event Coordinator, worked with us throughout the process. She is competent, fun, and reassuring. She helped us develop our menu, suggesting items that fit our theme and stayed in our budget. She helped us decide on seating for dining, took care of renting and organizing the seating for the outdoor ceremony, and made sure our band had space and time to set up. At the last minute (the day of), she even arranged to drive one elderly guest the short distance to the ceremony and back. Nia also always responded supportively at moments of panic (when we thought we had missed a detail or needed to add something very quickly).
The dining hall crew was efficient and unobtrusive, they prepared a wonderful buffet, and the bartender served delicious drinks so quickly that we had no line. Along with waffles and a southwest egg scramble, we were able to provide really good vegan and gluten-free options for those that wanted them. The crew reset the dining room for dancing while we held the ceremony outside, shifting centerpieces and setting up the dessert and cake table.
The Dining Hall is beautiful inside and out. This combined with the excellence of Nia, the staff, and the food gave us a wedding we will always remember with joy. We were so happy and our guests had a blast.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
