What is the ceremony fee?
Our spacious putting green makes a spectacular setting for
a ceremony which can accommodate up to 250 chairs. The ceremony fee is $350.00 and
includes the set-up and tear down of the ceremony chairs. You may bring in decorations
such as bows, chuppah, arch, flower arrangements, etc., with the approval from the
Catering & Events Coordinator. The set-up and tear down/cleanup of those items is
your responsibility. No items may be staked in the ground, only weighted anchors
are permitted. Confetti is not allowed outdoors.
What if there is inclement weather during the outdoor ceremony?
Colorado weather can
change very quickly, but we are fortunate that we do not have too many bad weather
days. If weather does not permit an outdoor ceremony, we will move the ceremony
inside The Tavern.
Will I have access to Murphy Creek Tavern for my rehearsal walkthrough?

rehearsal at no additional charge. Rehearsal dates and times are scheduled around
the course calendar. Please plan to have your officiant/minister directing your
rehearsal and provide the ceremony format.
Can I bring in my own food and/or beverage?
Murphy Creek Tavern is a full service
banquet facility and provides all food and beverage except for wedding cakes. Therefore
outside food and/or beverage are not permitted. However, you may have an outside

applicable sales tax, currently 7.1%, will be added to all room rental fees and food

Can I use candles or other items to decorate?
Candles are a great way to add ambience
to the room, however, all candles must be dripless or in some kind of container so
wax will not run onto the tablecloths. Murphy Creek does not allow anything to be
affixed to the walls, or ceiling beams without the consent of the Catering and Events
Coordinator. An additional fee may be added to the final invoice if damages are
incurred.
Who will setup the centerpieces, favors, place cards, etc.?
Please talk with your
Catering and Events Coordinator on any décor for your event. It is the responsibility
of the client to setup and tear down any items brought in for an event. All items
brought on the premise will need to be removed from the event space at the conclusion
of the event. Murphy Creek is not responsible for any items left behind.
What is the timeframe of an event?
This can vary depending on the type of event contracted.
