What is the rental fee and what does it include?

Please our pricing and inclusions here.

What is the building capacity?

The capacity of each event may vary depending on your event’s layout—whether you plan for cocktails, dinner, and dancing, or a seated ceremony and reception. It can also be very different for a non-wedding event. Our venue can seat up to 164 in our main hall, however, we recommend 150 and under as our ideal capacity for the most comfortable seating room. We can help guide you on the best use of space based on your guest count and event vision. We can host more in our space if it is a standing, cocktail-style event versus full tables and chairs.

What dates are available?

Is there a deposit? When are the additional payments due? Do you offer a payment plan?

To book your date we require 1/2 of your Venue Rental Fee. The remainder of your Venue Rental Fee is due 90 days prior to your event. There is a 2.9% payment processing charge for all payments made by Credit Card that can be avoided by making payments by check or ACH Transfer. We would be happy to offer a payment plan which will depend on how far out your event is. Let us know if you’d like to discuss a payment plan.

How do I reserve a date?

To secure your date, we require a signed contract, acknowledgment of our booking and use policies, and a payment of half the Venue Rental Fee, which can be made by check or credit card.

Do I need to schedule a tour or can I just stop by?

Tours are available by appointment only. You can check our availability and sign up for a tour here. If you don’t see an available tour time that works for you please email Rachel@eventsbybestow.com and we’ll find a time that works for you!

Is there a food and beverage, or guest count minimum?

No, we do not require a minimum for any.

Do we have to utilize your caterers and bar service?

While we have an excellent list of preferred vendors, including caterers, florists, photographers, and more, at this time, you are welcome to bring in outside vendors with prior approval. 

We do require a professional catering company and bartending service company for every wedding. Vendor

information for booked catering and bar is required 30 days before the event. 

For a non-wedding event. depending on the event type, we allow for personal catering to be brought in.

What do you require for bar service?

We require professional bartenders to be hired to manage bar services during your event. This includes complete setup and breakdown of the bar area, as well as ensuring the bar is thoroughly cleaned before leaving for the night.

For your convenience, alcohol and ice can be delivered directly from Wyatt’s Wet Goods, and any unopened alcohol may be returned to them after the event.

To ensure exceptional service, we highly recommend our outstanding bartending team referral, who bring professionalism and expertise to every celebration.

Are there overnight accommodations nearby?

Yes! We are centrally located in the city of Longmont. All hotels are 10 minutes from our location.

Hilton Garden Inn is our preferred hotel and is only 4 minutes away from us.

How does parking work?

We will share a parking map with you, showing 123 free city parking spots available for use within one block radius of our building.  We have 16 parking spots on our building's property.

Do you offer straight tables instead of round?

Yes, we have beautiful wood farmhouse rectangle tables that are included your Venue Rental Fee.

We do not have round tables in our inventory, but they can certainly be rented and used at our property.

Do you provided table linens, cups, silverware, etc?

We do not. You will need to work with your caterer on dinnerware (plates, utensils, napkins) or bring in your own.

Our tables do not require linens unless you prefer having that look for your event.

What happens in case of rain?

We have the most gorgeous space in the main hall for your ceremony and reception, so no stress on where to go when it rains.

Should it rain during your cocktail hour that you wanted outside, we can either set up our really nice white tent in the patio to keep the cocktail hour outside, or we can move everyone into our cocktail room.

We plan to have our ceremony offsite, or only plan to have our ceremony at Bestow. Does your fee change?

Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both onsite.

Do you allow dogs onsite to play a part in our wedding day?

We understand how important pets are—they’re a big part of our lives too! We’re happy to allow animals during the ceremony and photo portions of your wedding.



For non-wedding events, any animals and their time on-site must be pre-approved by Rachel or Diego prior to the event. This helps us ensure there’s a clear plan for their care and that everything runs smoothly for your celebration.

What form of payment does Bestow Events accept?

We accept check or credit card payments. We do charge a 2.9% credit card processing fee for all credit card payments. This processing charge can be avoided with check payments.

Do you offer an On-Site Coordinator?

Yes, we provide an on-site coordinator, but their role is limited to handling the logistics of the venue itself. They will ensure everything runs smoothly at the venue from setup to teardown. However, if you’re looking for full wedding planning and design services, we’re happy to recommend some of the best wedding planners in the area who can assist with that.

What time will I have access to the venue to decorate?

Your venue access will begin at 12pm and you can begin decorating then.

Do you require a wedding planner for weddings?

Yes, we do require a wedding planner for all weddings. This is different from our on site event manager provided by Bestow. 

What time does the music need to end?

With the standard 11 hour venue rental music would end at 10pm. You can add additional hours if you’d like but music must conclude by 12am at the latest. 

We are using a rental company. Can they drop items off or pick them up outside of the rental period?

All rental drop offs and pick ups need to happen within your facility rental timeline. 

How many seats are at each table?

Our in house tables can fit up to 10 if they are spaced away from other tables. They can fit up to 8 if they are combined with other tables to make one longer table. 

How far in advance do you need our final headcount?

We need final headcount / floorpans / vendor list at least 30 days prior to your event.

What time do you suggest we start the ceremony?

You can start your ceremony anytime within your 11 hour venue rental. We’d recommend a ceremony start time between 4 - 5pm to have around 2 hours of dancing.

How will the tables, chairs, etc. be arranged for my sized event?

We will set both the ceremony and reception space per your floorpan.

What is the event clean-up process?

Your vendors will need to clean / strike everything associated with their services (catering, floral, DJ, etc.). You will need to designate one person  to get all personal belongings at the end of the event as everything needs to be taken offsite. The majority of cleanup will be your caterers responsibility. If you are not working with a full service catering company or some of your vendors will not be striking Bestow Events can bring in a cleaning team for $350.

Can we nail decorations to the walls or hang things like floral from the ceiling?

We do not allow any nails / holes in the walls / surfaces. You may hang decor from the joist beams in the ceiling and we do allow nails to be used in the joists, but your design team must remove them all at the end of then night.

Nothing can be attached or inserted of any kind to the movable white wall.

My preferred dates are unavailable. Do you have a cancellation waiting list?

We do. Please inquire to be added to this list.
