The experience is hosted so organizers can just sit back and enjoy the event! It’s your meal and activity, all in one.

Large Group Denver Dining Tips
⏰ Book in Advance: never wait till the last minute to reserve space for your large group. To be safe we recommend making reservations a month, or more, in advance of your desired event date.
🤫 Take Advantage of Private Dining Spaces: as your group increases in size it can be more and more complicated to make a regular reservation. Check in with your desired restaurant to see what private dining spaces they have and if they align with your budget.
💰 Minimum Spend Per Person: you don’t wanna be caught unawares by any fees for your large group dining event. One to be on the lookout for is a per-person spend minimum. Many restaurants require this of a big group to make sure they’re getting their money’s worth for hosting your event.
🌟 Let Us Take Care of the Details: one of the many perks of booking a Denver Interactive Meal with us is that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your big group dining event. We have been hosting large group dining events since 2011 and are experts on the subject. We will take care of everything from the reservation, to the menu, to communicating with the restaurant staff, and can help you create an event budget you can feel good about.
