About this vendor
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.

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 heritage 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
amazing!
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!!
Look no further this venue is 10/10 for food, custom cocktails, and location! The pictures on the website don’t do it justice how beautiful the venue and location is; it’s quintessential Vail! Sadie and team made the planning process easy and they executed flawlessly. Our guests had an incredible time and was more than we could have ever hoped for
We had our rehearsal dinner at Larkspur and it was fantastic! The location is perfect and very easy to get to plus has a very picturesque backdrop. The service and food were spectacular and our guests truly had a great time. Highly recommend!
Larkspur hosted our rehearsal dinner (-40 people) which was followed by a welcome party (-100 people). The event was absolutely perfect! The wait staff were attentive and the venue was beautiful. The food was also incredible and well worth every penny. Sadie (event manager) made scheduling and planning the event super easy with a ton of options for food and decorations. Larkspur was also understanding/flexible when one of our checks was stolen in the mail. Would definitely have another event here!
Professional staff; delicious quality of food and beverages; easy to work with and beautiful atmosphere!
Larkspur was absolutely amazing! I am so glad that I chose this as my wedding venue. They were so accommodating when we postponed our wedding due to Covid, and the venue space itself is just perfect. The views are amazing - we walked up the hill right by the event space for photos and there was a little stream and a perfect view of the Gore Range! My guests really appreciated having everything so close together, yet there was still separation of spaces (dinner was spatially separated from cocktail hour and dancing). Also, all the spaces are already beautiful, so I saved money on decorations.
I knew that Larkspur was known for their food, and they definitely lived up to the hype!! I have gotten a lot of compliments from my guests about the food. Plus, the whole wait staff was so attentive and did a great job making sure all drinks were filled (shout out to Steve who did great anticipating the wedding party's needs). We also had a s'mores bar which was unique and everyone loved it!
I really can't imagine having had our wedding anywhere else - I highly recommend this venue!
This is a tough one. On one hand, our event was beautiful and the restaurant staff were amazing, but the events manager was a nightmare to work with.
My husband and I were planning a micro wedding and I reached out to the Larkspur events manager for a quote and information. She gave me a cost breakdown and quote for our wedding, and we drove up to Vail to visit the venue. It's a really lovely space, so we decided to book. It wasn't until we were ready to book that we were told about their minimums. Our estimate was LOWER than their minimum and the events manager never mentioned anything about it. And the minimum was thousands more than we were quoted. She told me they never talk minimums until it's time to sign the contract. I think that's a pretty important thing to bring up with prospective brides! After going back and forth, and talking with her manager, we were able to work it out.
Our wedding day was beautiful and everyone at the restaurant rolled out the red carpet for us. The food was delicious and everyone had a really great time.
The only negative - could have been disastrous - after the ceremony, we were taking family pictures and the sprinklers came on! If it would have been 10 minutes earlier, it would have ruined our ceremony. Luckily, we all managed to run away from the ceremony site for 10 minutes while they figured out how to turn them off. You would think if you're hosting an outdoor wedding you'd make sure the sprinklers were turned off for the night.
Overall, our wedding day was pretty perfect. There were just lots of tears and frustrations leading up to it because of their events manager.
I had my small intimate wedding here with about 35 guests during COVID-19 and it was incredible! Absolutely beautiful venue, divine food, and wonderful staff. Even though it was gorgeous and delicious it was still well within budget as well!
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.
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.
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!
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 had our daughter’s wedding at the Larkspur last weekend and we cannot say enough about our experience there. From the planning stages through the actual event, we were thoroughly impressed. The staff were extremely accommodating to each guest’s requests and needs and the venue was perfect! Many of our guests commented that this was the “best wedding food that (they) have ever had”!! I have to agree! The hors d’oeuvres were amazing and the entrees were cooked to perfection. I would do it all again with the Larkspur!!
We are so glad we had our wedding at Larkspur. We had to changes venues only 3 weeks out, due to COVID. Thankfully Larkspur came to the rescue. They were more than willing to accommodate and were so flexible. All our worries were squashed and we were able to have the most amazing day we had always envisioned. The food was delicious and the space fit our intimate wedding of 32 people perfectly. They even mimicked our original cake flavor for us that we had originally picked at our previous venue (funfetti with cereal milk cream filling!) so we didn't have to change that. They were just amazing with their flexibility during these crazy times. Thank you Larkspur and team!
Really easy to work with and coordinate our cake to the venue, considering we were planning a destination wedding. Giving only 4 stars, since the flavor of cake that we requested was wrong on the day of our wedding (but still good!).
We had to cancel our 150 person wedding at a different venue in Vail this summer and somewhat last minute switched to a reception at Larkspur. They were super responsive and willing to work with us which I am grateful for. We ended up having 20 people in a private room for dinner and a nice cocktail hour at the bar. There was another event going on but we barely noticed them. Everyone is still raving about the food and service. So glad we found Larkspur!
Larkspur helped us have our dream wedding! Our original venue was forced to cancel on us due to COVID. Less than a month out from our wedding date, Larkspur was able to work with us and our vendors and plan everything in a time crunch. The lawn was an absolutely beautiful spot for our ceremony. The team there is absolutely wonderful and know their stuff. The food and cake were both amazing. The bar team was a dream to work with. Isabel was a life saver and we are so glad that we were able to get married at Larkspur.
Our wedding at The Larkspur was stunning. We were incredibly pleased with the venue, the views, the food and the service. We were forced to change many details of our wedding at the last minute due to COVID, and the Larkspur was more than accommodating and flexible. They made sure that my vision came to life. It was the happiest, no stress day, thanks to The Larkspur!
An amazing place to get married. Everyone is a pleasure to get to know and work with. The service and food remind us of top Michelin star restaurants. Communication and planning is clear and concise. The venue is flexible and stress free. Our wedding day could not have gone better.
Amazing venue with the best staff in Vail, Colorado. Working with the Larkspur was the easiest choice we made when planning our wedding. We loved everything about it from the first meeting! Not only is the staff the best in the business, but the food and drinks will be something all your guests remember. Larkspur is a beautiful mountain venue that takes all the stress out of wedding planning, they are truly professionals and amazing to work with. They made our day perfect and so memorable we will be going back there for anniversaries to come! If you are a bride wanting to get married in Vail, Colorado and want the best experience Larkspur Events & Dining is the ideal venue for you! Thank you Larkspur for making all our wedding dreams come true!
Amazing location and staff! The wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch, much due to Larkspur's excellent personnel and event coordination.
Words can't even begin to describe how happy we are the we chose the Larkspur for our wedding venue! The staff is so organized when it comes to planning, that even my planner said they were a dream to work with! The ceremony lawn was perfect for our ceremony and the views were beyond breathtaking. Our guest are still raving about how wonderful the food was, saying it was the best wedding food they've had. I couldn't agree more. The food was so delicious! Every staff member that we worked with was knowledgeable and so helpful. My husband and I never had a chance to visit the venue before our wedding, and didn't worry us at all because of the amazing team the Larkspur has. They staff is very knowledgeable and the definitely goes above and beyond for their guests. If you're looking for a venue in Vail with amazing staff, food and views, this is the place! We couldn't be happier!
Meridith and the entire team at Larkspur provided the most amazing experience for my husband and I! From the first day we met on our site tour to emails after the big day, the Larkspur staff always corresponded to us with professionalism, grace and kindness. They helped to execute what was by far the best day of our lives, to date! They answered every question promptly and in detail over the course of our 7 months of planning. Our guests kept telling us how great the service was all night! The food was top notch, we had multiple guests tell us that as well! The signature cocktails were a hit! The cake was absolutely stunning and delicious! The team at the Larkspur also was able to assist with logistics from other vendors and is known by the wedding community in the area to be the best!! You will be in such good hands with the Larkspur, we highly recommend celebrating your big day with them!!
We had a great experience with Larkspur. The setting is beautiful and having a separate cocktail/dining/ dancing space really made for a great flow to the wedding experience for our guests. The food is absolutely exceptional. Every one of our guests said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The staff is great, very professional and helpful.
As a planner of over ten years, Larkspur has always been top notch! The event staff and location is perfect! If you are looking for a true dining experience for our special weekend, look no further. You have to try the homemade donuts and dipping sauce.. AMAZING!
We held a post-wedding brunch at the Larkspur. It was beautiful and delicious, the staff was so helpful and we were delighted with everything. They even helped cutting and packaging our extra wedding cake to send home with our guests.
My husband and I chose Larkspur for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it could not have been a more perfect setting. The Larkspur staff was a joy to work with, and it is so evident that they love what they do. From the boozy hot drinks served pre-ceremony to the signature cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour, everything was delicious.
Larkspur was very easy to work with. We used their patio for a rehearsal brunch. All of our guests had an excellent time and enjoyed the food!
From a planning standpoint, they were very easy to work with. I was able to put together a menu and plan the event without any hassle. When we showed up the day of the rehearsal, everything was set up and ready to go for us! Their staff was helpful and courteous without being too involved.
Larkspur was the perfect place to host our Welcome Drinks ahead of our wedding. The staff was incredibly friendly during the event and the planning staff was easy to work with leading up to the actual event. The venue was also stunning.
The entire Larkspur team was such an amazing joy to work with! We held our wedding reception there and it was absolutely flawless! They never missed a beat, and were so pleasant and accommodating to us throughout our planning and wedding celebration process. The venue is tucked away at the base of Gold Peak, giving you and your guests the most perfect quintessential Vail mountain wedding! AND THE FOOD... WOW! Be prepared to get more compliments about the food and service than anything else regarding your wedding! We cannot thank them enough for all that they did for us and our guests in making our big day so unforgettable!
Also... we cannot wait to go back during the winter to eat some Larkburgers and Truffle Fries!!! :)
We absolutely loved working with Larkspur. Meridith, Isabel, and the rest of the Larkspur team were absolutely wonderful. They were positive, attentive, detail-oriented, and so much fun to work with throughout our wedding planning process. I truly can't imagine working with a better group of individuals.
Everything about our experience with Larkspur was impeccable. The venue is stunningly gorgeous, the food is world-class, and the service is outstanding. Every single staff member at Larkspur went above and beyond for our special day.
Our friends and family are still raving about our wedding being the best they've ever been to, and we have everyone at Larkspur to thank for that. Beyond the stunning beauty of the venue, guests raved to us about how incredible the food and service was. The entire reception flowed perfectly together, and no detail was overlooked. We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Larkspur during our wedding. I can't say enough good things about our experience, and I would highly recommend having a wedding there. I wish I could do mine all over again!
As parents of the groom we had a terrific experience using Larkspur for our welcome party and farewell brunch during our son's wedding weekend in July 2018. The food never ceases to impress us and their estimation of the amounts and costs of food and beverage for both events was so accurate. They are experienced, professional and do a top notch job. It was a pleasure to work with Larkspur.
We really loved working with Larkspur. The setting is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the people that work there are the best. They were calm, organized, quick to respond to us. They worked with us to make all our requests happen and totally over delivered on all our expectations. All our guests had an amazing time at our wedding. Larkspur made everything just perfect. Highly recommend using them.
The Larkspur environment and food were absolutely perfect for our June Welcome Party (for 120) to kick off our wedding weekend. We set up yard games and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves in such a beautiful setting with excellent food. Thank you Larkspur for exceeding our expectations!!
As my (now husband) and I started to think about where to get married, we realized two things were really important to us: high quality food, and the ability to get married outside WITH a mountain view, then immediately start an indoor reception. We knew what we were looking for was very specific, and are so glad we knew about Larkspur! There are very few sites in the entire world that checked all of these boxes, and after having been to Larkspur a few times for different events, we were confident they could make our day perfect!
The staff was amazing to work with throughout the planning process, and were patient with all of our questions and "what-if-we-do-this" ideas. After a year of planning, getting married at Larkspur felt like being at home - the team made it all so easy! All of our guests raved about the food, which was hugely important for us, and there were dedicated servers who ensured we got two of each appetizer/a moment to chill before being introduced, got served first at dinner, and never had an empty glass at our head table!
The restaurant is beautiful as-is, to the point that our florist talked us out of paying for more flowers - they simply weren't needed to decorate the venue space! There are no bare walls or ugly carpeting to distract guests from, it's simply elegant and requires very little to no additional decor, which was SO NICE to have one less thing to worry about during the planning.
It would be impossible to go wrong choosing this venue for your big day - this team knows what they're doing, the outdoor views and indoor spaces are beautiful, and the food is world-class. We will be forever grateful we got married at Larkspur!
Ryan and I met in Vail, were engaged in Vail, and decided it would only be perfectly fitting to get married in Vail! As we started to talk about choosing a venue, we decided that the context of our wedding weekend needed to be “inclusive.” We were looking for a partner who could make our 100 guests feel like they were gathering for a special family dinner, while also elevating the “party mode” experience. Moreover, since I would be planning everything on my own, I was looking for a thoughtful, helpful, and organized team. From our first meeting, we knew we would be in the best of hands with Larkspur! Isabel and the Larkspur family made the planning process easy and fun. At our tasting, we were able to sit down with Chef Bill to share our ideas for a custom designed cake to match our invitations, and our wish was his command (and it turned out picture perfect)! And the food…oh my gosh THE FOOD! We chose the Creekstone Farms Strip Loin and the Ahi Persillade for our seated dinner entrees, and absolutely loved every bite! Our friends and family are still raving (over a month later) about our wedding being “one of the best meals they’ve ever had!” Perhaps the best part about Larkspur is the way the evening flowed together. From the beautiful ceremony lawn with sweeping views of the Gore Range, to the cocktail bar and patio, and finishing the evening in the versatile and open great room with the dance floor, it was as if we had four events in one. All in all, our wedding day was perfect, and it could not have been possible without the love and hospitality provided by our friends at Larkspur!!
We could not be happier with our wedding at Larkspur this last October. From the gorgeous ceremony site to the intimate dinner setting and incredible dance party - everything was perfect. We had guests from all over the world and every single one of them was not only impressed with the professionalism and care of the staff, but also extremely pleased with the food. I am still receiving compliments about how amazing the dinner was and not to mention the late night snack (we picked the beef tacos and they were to die for).
The bar was another highlight - Chris was super accommodating and took great care of our guests.
The desserts were well prepared and mouthwatering. The peanut butter crunch bar was a favorite.
Working with Rafal and the Larkspur team was easy and effortless and they really made planning easy. I have been in the events business for almost 10 years and was impressed with their execution. I definitely recommend Larkspur for a wedding in Vail, especially if you love well prepared, incredible food.
Our wedding at the Larkspur was beyond phenomenal. Having 115 people travel for your destination wedding and wanting to plan everything with thoughtful details to everything can bring out some bride's stress -especially if you're a perfectionist. I planned the entire wedding weekend from a distance with a 12 hr trip to only taste apps and cake!
The venue is absolutely stunning. Inside and outside! A cold front came in for the wedding day and we needed to have a game time decision - do we have the ceremony indoors? The staff is not only accommodating and flexible but genuinely want your day to be as perfect as it can be. I trusted in the Larkspur and they delivered. I needed their call in the last hour. It was the right call because it was frigid outside by the time we took photos.
My guests enjoyed themselves with their hearts and stomachs. That is what made this bride so happy!! Scott and I wanted a loving and a personal ceremony unique to our relationship. We wanted great food and an unbelievable party. We got all of those! Incredible food and cake. Thanks chef Bill! Best Colorado lamb chops I've ever had - all the guests who chose them raved about the dish and the preparation of the tasty potato that accompanied it! I heard the salmon was delicious -I can attest it looked beautiful. They had a great selection of wines but let us order in one of our favorite champagnes. Yum to the speciality cocktails and excellent tasting wedding cakes! You made mom and father in law very happy! They like cake... a lot.
Thank you Isabel, Chris, Tony, Meridith and Tom ....and all the staff I didn't personally talk to as you hustled around with excellent service. Gordon Ramsey would be proud of the execution! Thank you all for all your hard work. Being the last wedding of a long season :Larkspur, you made this couple, their friends and families so happy. Vail memories for life! Thank you with all my heart. Xoxo❤️
We hired Larkspur for a next day brunch for our September wedding. I was so burnt out from planning the rest of the wedding, that I didn't want to make any further decisions. Their events coordinator contacted me to make menu selections, but planned the rest of the event on their own. The patio was beautiful, and the food was amazing! Everyone raved about the brunch, and the staff was so nice and friendly. I was so happy we went with them for our brunch.
We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding -- we did our ceremony on the lawn and our reception inside. Larkspur is elegant, classy, and intimate, but had plenty of room for our 250 guests. Working with Isabel Piaggi, the events director, was an absolute dream. She was so on top of everything, so communicative and prompt in responding to our every annoying question, and so NICE. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Isabel and her team, and could not have been more pleased with how the entire night went. The food was exceptional, the staff was attentive, the bartender was amazing, and the whole event went off without a hitch. We HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Vail Valley. You will not be disappointed!
GORGEOUS VENUE, AMAZING FOOD, PERFECT WEDDING!
We spent tons of time researching wedding venues in Vail Valley before we chose the Larkspur, and it was the right decision. The staff was absolutely professional, competent, and so much fun to work with. They were ahead of us at every step of the planning process, and every small detail of our wedding day was flawlessly executed. We just showed up and enjoyed the evening. Even without flowers and candlelight, the venue is gorgeous and elegant. Most importantly, our guests are still talking about the OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS food and great drinks! :) Don't be fooled by their very reasonable pricing--it doesn't get any better than this for a Colorado mountain wedding. Thanks Larkspur!!!
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Larkspur and it was the perfect venue for us! Outdoor wedding ceremony and inside dance party! (The great room was perfect for that.) The restaurant for dinner was absolutely beautiful, modern, classy, and best of all the chef's pride themselves on their food. We had specific dietary requests for our wedding (vegan & gluten free) and they were so excited to create a menu that was delicious that accommodated our request. Everyone LOVED the food, and set us a part from other weddings they attended! From start to finish we had the best time planning our wedding with the Larkspur team. And they truly delivered on our vision. Did I mention we had a "fried bar" for our late night snacks?! Two types of french fires, fried pickles, onion rings and an assortment of v/gf dipping sauces!! :) Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Larkspur. Highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible. Our wedding at Larkspur was better than we could have ever imagined. As soon as we walked the venue over one year ago, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Food & Drink was a priority for us at our wedding, and they nailed it! Isabel and her team were incredibly accommodating, responsive to emails, and absolutely a joy to work with. They made our day so special. This is also the perfect venue as the indoor "back-up" plan is an equally perfect venue if you are dreaming to have an outdoor wedding. I would do it all over again, if I could!
Our wedding at Larkspur was truly a dream. We were married in the technical "offseason" (first weekend in May) but it was sunny and 70 degrees and a beautiful weekend for us. Every single staff member at Larkspur went above and beyond for our special day. Isabel was also so wonderful to work with. She did not overlook any details and brought everything together so seamlessly. Our friends and family are still raving about the amazing food, drinks, desserts, and killer background view during our ceremony on the West Lawn. Our wedding in Vail was a destination wedding, and Larkspur was the best choice for that hands down. They handled food, beverages, ceremony chairs, and several other details. It was very "all-inclusive" so to say, which made destination planning such a breeze (and fun!). Highly highly recommend hosting your wedding (or any event really) here! Could not be happier with how things turned out.
Larkspur was an unbelievably magical venue for our wedding day! Every moment was magical and well thought out by their staff. Isabel did not forget one detail, she was very organized and accommodated last minute requests and questions. I am so happy we took a leap of faith to transform the "lodge" for the dancing. It was truly the perfect reception. Our wedding was December 3rd, near 215 guests, 23 person bridal party, and a 14 person band (all which fit comfortably). They were honest about budgeting and worked with us the night of the event to ensure that we were comfortable with the bar spending limits. The only issue we ran into was the ski shop would not close early so rentals / band could set up. We added an additional cocktail party at Frost to give them a little time, and it worked out perfectly! I only wish we could relive this night one thousand times again!
The Larkspur exceeded all expectations for our rehearsal dinner. We worked with Isabel before the event to make sure everything was ready including a large menu selection to pick from and drinks as well. Isabel was fantastic throughout the process - responsive, helpful and patient with us as we made our decisions.
Once we got to the Larkspur for the event, we were blown away by how nice everything was. They went above and beyond to make sure our event was top notch. The food was fantastic and the service was superb.
I cannot recommend the Larkspur enough and will definitely come back here if I ever host a large event in Vail again.
We held our wedding reception on Labor Day Weekend at the Larkspur.
The staff was so organized and so responsive to all our questions and requests over our entire planning process.
The set up was absolutely perfect. We were so pleasantly surprised when all of our décor had been perfectly handled by the Larkspur staff - when our helper arrived to help with set up, she learned she had virtually nothing to do.
The food was absolutely spectacular. From the gorgeous presentation and taste of the table pickles to the amazingly delicious entrees (lamb and the Petaluma chicken) to the gorgeous chocolate wedding cake, we could not have been happier. The food was inventive, beautiful and expertly prepared.
Everyone complemented the amazing views from our dinner on the lawn. It was truly an unforgettable location and experience for us and for our guests.
When the sun went down, the donuts and coffee in the bar area were a highlight for everyone (especially our kids!!) and the cozy atmosphere you created in the bar area to wind things down was awesome.
Every person we spoke to on your staff from our initial conversations and visit to the end of the night was friendly and attentive. You truly have an awesome team in place.
Everything was absolutely impeccable and we are truly appreciative and thankful for everything you did to make our day perfect. You exceeded expectations in every way. We spend a lot of time in Vail and we considered just about every venue between Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Keystone. I am confident that we absolutely made the right choice. Thank you for so perfectly executing our vision of a casually elegant, but very special dinner with our closest family and friends. We will never forget our amazing day, and we thank you for making it so special. We look forward to visiting you again during the winter season!
The Larkspur is truly an amazing wedding experience, they offer the entire package. Not only did our wedding turn out perfect from the decor to the food but we had best in class service and accommodations from Isabel Piaggi.
Our wedding was June 18th, 2016 at the Larkspur. We had our ceremony outside on the Larkspur lawn. The mountains in the backdrop speak for themselves. Once the ceremony was over the waiters were holding wine and water lining the path back to the Larkspur bar for the cocktail reception. We ended up renting a tent for our reception on the Larkspur lawn. What an amazing view to have the clear tent at the bottom of the mountains.
We ended up choosing the buffet and what an amazing choice. Not only did our guest get to experience different food as opposed to choosing only 1 meal, but the layout of the food in a tapas style was beautiful. Throughout the night I had people approach me and say it was the best food they had every had at a wedding. As well, days after people are still talking about the food and how truly amazing the day was.
Larkspur is a great venue for a wedding space in Vail. They have unmatched service and are willing to work with any special needs you may have. If you want a truly Vail wedding experience with unmatched mountain views and a space to call your own on your special day, the Larkspur is the place! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
We got married at The Larkspur in September, and were truly blown away by the setting, staff and service. They put together a perfect day, and everything from the ceremony to the reception was impeccable and beautiful. We’ve received nothing but rave reviews from our guests. Every time we looked up, we saw smiles all around. From the service to the absolutely incredible food, Isabel, Cole and the rest of their staff made sure that our day was as perfect as we had imagined. The setting at the base of the mountain is truly magical. We'll forever be thankful for their service and can't wait to eat there again when we visit Vail to go skiing!
We had our wedding reception at the Larkspur in Vail this past September and it was truly the best venue we could have ever imagined. The only regret I have is that we didn't have our ceremony on their beautiful lawn. The staff was incredible and the restaurant looked beautiful. The view from the patio was breath taking and was the perfect backdrop for all of our friends and family during the cocktail hour. But the food was truly the star of the night. Every one of our guests commented on how amazing the food was. We could not have asked for a better wedding reception and I am positive that it would not have been the same at any other venue. We would recommend the Larkspur to anyone looking to get married in Vail!
On September 6, 2014, our daughter got married. It was the most amazing day we could ever have imagined! Part of the magic was the Larkspur. It was absolutely stunning. The food was delicious. It was fit for a foodie. The entire reception was seamless. Nathalia at the Larkspur, left no detail unattended. I would highly recommend the Larkspur for your wedding reception. You will not be disappointed. The food, the outdoor patio, the poshness of the dining room, the great room -- all of it made for the best wedding ever.

Definitely have your wedding here! Food, staff, and view is phenomenal! You will not be disappointed!
My husband and I recently hosted a Rehearsal Dinner for our son and (now) new daughter-in-law at Larkspur. As a very "particular" interior designer and admitted "foodie," this experience was a joy from start to finish. We met with Nathalia Sousa-Chin once in March, and she immediately understood our vision for the evening. Because this was a destination wedding, the Rehearsal Dinner was more like an additional wedding reception, with all guests included. Nathalia assisted us with finding excellent musicians and photographers for the evening.
The service was superb and the dinner was outstanding. We have nothing but RAVES for the chef, management and staff of Larkspur.
Thank you from your new "fan club" in Kentucky!
Larkspur did not disappoint for us on our special day! We were able to stick to our budget and have the wedding of our dreams! The setting was spectacular, the food was a 10, the attention to detail was super and at the end of the night, we felt like royalty.
Nathalia and their crew was tremendous and wend the extra mile for us. As an example, they hired us extra security to help with the crowd control for the 4th of July to make sure our event stayed private.
Thanks for making our wedding day a dream come true!
Also, thanks for working so well with our wedding planner Aly Camerlo with Knot Just Another Wedding.

We could not have selected a better ceremony site and reception venue! The food, the service, the setting … we were absolutely blown away by the Larkspur. They are top-notch in everything that they do. The Larkspur embodies the true meaning of great service and hospitality. Everything from start to finish was better than could have possibly been expected. Brittany made planning the ceremony and reception completely painless, and ensured the day of the wedding was worry-free. The food was absolutely amazing and the wine selection was impressive. We toured virtually every other ceremony and reception site in Vail, and the Larkspur has far more to offer than any of the other venues (and at a more reasonable price). The staff was so polite and attentive; they were a big part of what made the entire event so amazing. We were very lucky to have been able to hold our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing all outside. The weather held out the entire day and it turned out to be a beautiful day/evening. The Larkspur’s expansive patio offers a unique outdoor space with a beautiful mountain backdrop which we took full advantage of. We continue to receive complements on the food, service, and venue from our guests. I cannot thank the Larkspur enough for making my special day absolutely perfect! For anyone considering getting married in Vail, I would HIGHLY recommend the Larkspur for both the ceremony and the reception. You will not be disappointed!
I can't say enough about the team at Larkspur!! We had planned our ceremony outside on the lawn, but, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. The folks at Larkspur sprung into action about 3 hours prior to the wedding and put together a beautiful ceremony spot inside with the fireplace in the background.
The service was amazing and our guests raved about the food! I would highly recommend Larkspur to any couple!!
Larkspur was impeccable. I was very impressed with the coordinator Brittany. She was on top of everything and executed our plan beautifully. The cocktail reception in the bar and on the patio, dinner service in the dining areas and dancing in the Great Room flowed naturally and had a wonderful glow to the rooms. The food and cake were absolutely delicious. Everything was so well organized and our guests were well taken care of. I highly recommend any bride to use the vendor.
To give an example of how our guests were well taken care of, we had several key people with food allergies (dairy-free and gluten-free). I indicated which guests they were and Larkspur made meals suited to them. They didn't have to double check with the server or chef because Larkspur was way ahead of them. I was so pleased our guests were able to eat delicious meals without question if it would make them sick.
I cannot believe how amazing Larkspur was!! It was way better than I could have asked for or imagined. As a little girl you dream about your wedding and this far outdid any expectations or hopes that I had. Brittany did an incredible job taking care of all the vendors, getting everyone where they needed to be, when they needed to be; organizing the bridal party for the ceremony; setting up last minute things; etc. She helped ease my mind and made it a stress-free day for me!! She communicated with me during the entire planning period, helping me stay organized and getting everything done on time. She was kind, pleasant, and wonderful to work with the whole time! The wine and food were out of this world, as well as the wait staff. Everything was done professionally, all the staff had great personalities, it really was better than I could have asked for or imagined! We will definitely be visiting Larkspur every time we're in Vail and plan on spending our one year anniversary there. I cannot say enough great things about this venue, if they have availability for your wedding then don't even think twice about booking it!!!!
