Event Bookings
Delight Your Friends, Family, Colleagues or Guests with Prairie Dog brewing Events!
Are you looking for a unique and conversation-friendly fun event venue? We could be the perfect place! We have ample space for event bookings of any size from 25-250 people (for less than 25 people, simply make a reservation). We also have a huge stage ready for full bands to play on, an A/V system ready for video presentations and public speaking, and pool tables for your guests to enjoy while they attend your event! Our on-site microbrewery makes delicious craft beer and our bar serves up a variety of cocktails, highballs, gluten free and non-alcoholic options, while our kitchen churns out allergy-inclusive mouth-watering Southern-style barbecue and comfort food buffets for meat eaters and vegetarians, alike.
We do Stampede party buyouts inside and on our patio, Christmas and holiday parties, corporate team-building events and tastings, wedding receptions, anniversary parties, celebrity presentations and even the occasional celebration of life!
We have experience with all sorts of events including weddings, corporate parties (including Holiday and Stampede parties), large birthday and graduation parties, silent auctions and other charity events, and even celebrations of life. Our massive BBQ pit gives us the ability to pump out a lot of high-quality meat for large Stampede and other corporate events.
We’d love to get started on your event booking today, please start by reading over our Events Menu (at left) and familiarizing yourself with our options, pricing, and booking policies, and if you are ready to speak with a coordinator, fill out our event booking form by clicking the red button above or below. Our coordinator should be able to get back to you within the next 2-4 days, subject to availability.
Please keep in mind that event bookings require a minimum 25% deposit at least 14-days prior to the event date, a signed contract and we need final guest numbers at least 7 days prior to an event.
How to Make an Event Booking
1. Gather the Required Information
We’ll ask you for the following before we can provide you with any sort of pricing estimates or availability information:
- What type of event would you like to have? ie. Wedding reception, corporate Stampede or holiday party, wedding anniversary, celebration of life, team outing, etc.
- When would you like to have the event, and how flexible are you about the date and time?
- How many guests are expected to attend?
- Do you want to provide food or drinks to your guests or have them pay for their own items?
- Do you have a budget for the event? Either per-attendee or altogether? See our Events Menu to get a sense of what event buffet pricing looks like.
2. Contact Our Events Team to Request a Quote
With the important information above ready to go, you’re now ready to talk with one of our Events team members to talk pricing and have them generate an event booking quote. There are three great ways to contact our events team, either:
- Fill out our online event booking form and wait to be contacted by our events team; or
- Email events@bbq.beer with the details above (and your preferred contact method), and wait for a response; or
- Try directly calling an Event Coordinator through our phone system at (403) 407-2448 ext. 109 (limited availability).
A member of our Events Team will reach out to you to start discussing your event and generate pricing for you.
3. Pay a Deposit and Sign Our Event Contract to Secure Your Booking
Event bookings often require Prairie Dog Brewing to displace large areas of guest seating that would normally be offered to indoor dining reservations and walk-in seating (at a typical $30-$50 spend per guest per table turnover). Likewise, event bookings may require us to order and prepare extra meat and supplies to make food for the planned number of event attendees, to schedule extra staff, and to rent or purchase equipment in support of the event. Therefore, it is critical that we have legal assurances that your event and any previously quoted spends associated with it will be paid, regardless of how many attendees actually participate, in the form of a signed event contract.
As well as signing our contract, you must pay a deposit to secure your event booking, typically 25-50% of the quoted event pricing. Competitive booking dates and times are given to the first party that signs a contract and provides a deposit.
