About

After 45 years as a professional chef and 25 years at the helm of Larkspur Events & Dining, our owner Thomas Salamunovich has decided to retire and close the business. This coming winter will be our last season of a la carte lunches and our last private function will be held on April 14, 2024.

That being said, Thomas and our entire team would love the opportunity to host your gathering prior to April 2024. We have availability to host your gathering during the remainder of this summer (2023) and this coming winter 2023/2024.

We would like to thank all the people who have supported and dined with us throughout Larkspur’s 25 years. It has been an honor and a pleasure to provide service, cuisine, and hospitality to you all.

Fall Wedding in Vail

The Larkspur wedding venue in Vail was an idyllic mountain setting for our daughter’s Fall wedding on September 24, 2023. Now that the wedding festivities have all concluded, we
look back and know this venue exceeded our expectations! This is due to the picturesque surroundings, the venue décor and the outstanding service of the entire Larkspur team.

The sales and event team, Isabel and Sadie, ensured that all of our needs were met and coordinated to make Heather and Chris’s wedding a flawless event. The food and beverage were exceptional, and the cake was amazing! Our guests said they loved the venue and the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding!

A special thanks and shout out to the Larkspur team for making our family’s heritag, of three generations married in Eagle county an, endearing event that we will remember the rest of our lives! Anyone looking to do a destination wedding should consider the Larkspur—it was outstanding!

I Love The Larkspur!!

I LOVE the Larkspur!! I'm a wedding planner and get to work with all kinds of venues and staff, and these guys are some of the best! From the very beginning, Sadie and the team were responsive and insightful. They made everything so easy to decide on and kept everything organized and timely for our clients. We hosted the rehearsal dinner and welcome event at The Larkspur and it was such a hit! Their food is amazing, the quality of their service is even better, and all guests and family were glowing with happiness and appreciation- thoroughly enjoying their experience. I cannot recommend the Larkspur enough!!

Exceptional wedding venue

The Larkspur exceeded our expectations in every way for my daughter’s wedding. Isabel and Sadie were responsive and so helpful in designing a menu that worked within our budget. Multiple guests commented on the beautiful venue and excellent food. Several guests said the dinner and cake were the best they’d ever had at a wedding! I had such confidence in Larkspur’s professionalism I didn’t worry at all about execution. Service was flawless! We visited many options in Vail and truly believe Larkspur offered a unique wedding experience that was worth every penny.

Amazing venue & setting

I can't begin to describe the completely magical experience! Staff, food, service, setting, flexibility, you name it they hit it out of the park 200% We had to postpone because of COVID and they couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. The food is out of this world, including the cake and late night snacks. Received nothing but compliments from all of our 250 guests. Everyone bent over backwards to make our daughters and son-in-laws wedding everything they wanted. The setting is breathtaking. We had our ceremony at the Vail Chapel and the walk over to Larkspur was easy and fun! I have absolutely no complaints, "Best Wedding Ever", was the common talk amongst our families and guests.

One of the most beautiful wedding venues in Vail, CO!

We cannot express enough how incredible our wedding weekend was in Vail, and how amazing Larkspur Events & Dining was in every possible way - we have received so many compliments from our guests on the location just at the base of the mountain, the service (seriously incredible), the food (y'all, the food is seriously so incredible, our guests still talk about it), the drinks (the Larkspur Lightning was a HUGE hit), the s'mores... I could keep going on! Isabel was incredible to work with from the beginning and incredibly accommodating, especially when COVID hit and we had to postpone. The whole Larkspur team really brought our entire dream and vision to life - we will cherish our memories from that weekend for the rest of our lives without a doubt.

A beautiful Vail Wedding Venue

As a local Vail wedding planner, I can vouch that Larkspur is one of the top Vail wedding venues. The care that goes into the planning, food, and service is top notch. The lawn has gorgeous mountain views and the main dining room is always elegant and set meticulously. The service staff is always helpful and ensure that the client and their guests are well cared for. I would highly recommend considering Larkpsur as your wedding venue.

Dream Vail wedding venue

As a Colorado Wedding Photographer I always love to come back to Larkspur Dining and Events to document beautiful Colorado weddings. It not only provides a gorgeous view of the mountains during your ceremony, but also hosts several wedding reception options. If you have a more intimate wedding the Larkspur restaurant is an ideal location to host your wedding. But if you are looking for a bigger wedding the vast Larkspur grounds allow for a tent setup. And a tent wedding provides you lots of options to make your dream wedding come true. Not only are the ground and views ideal, but also its location in the heart of Vail. With access to many hotels in the area your guests will have lots of options to choose from and will be able to plan their perfect wedding weekend getaway. One of my favorite things at the Larkspur is their catering and their staff. Vendors are provided with excellent meals after a long day of hard work with a lovely catering staff. And it’s always nice to see that vendors are appreciated alongside the wedding itself. Hence, I absolutely adore the Larkspur. If you are looking for your dream Vail wedding I can only recommend the Larkspur after having shot there for several years in a row now. Let your party planning begin here!

Great Mountain Venue!

We work at several venues for both floral and wedding planning and we love working at the Larkspur! Especially in 2020. They were able to accommodate several couples that had to choose a new venue because of COVID restrictions. The food is amazing, the staff is professional, and the venue is gorgeous. I would highly recommend for couples looking for a wedding venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
