Celebrations in the Roaring Fork Valley tend to take on a life of their own — mountain weddings, community gatherings, backyard birthdays, après-ski get-togethers, and destination events that draw friends from near and far. Party services here aren’t just about logistics; they’re about experiences that feel memorable and hyper-local. The Best of Aspen, Snowmass and Basalt contest reflects how this region values vendors who bring creativity, personality, and a little bit of whimsy to the moment. Whether it’s adding flavor, atmosphere, or entertainment, these businesses help turn an event into a story people remember.
Aspen Mini Donuts brings a playful touch to events with freshly made, bite-sized donuts that are as fun to watch being prepared as they are to eat. The service feels part treat cart, part interactive experience. Guests often gather around to see warm donuts dusted or drizzled before enjoying them hot. It’s a nostalgic nod to childhood fairs and roadside stands, made a bit more polished for mountain celebrations. Their presence at a party adds sweetness, a bit of spectacle, and something everyone can share, no matter their age.
Aspen Air offers balloon décor that transforms spaces — whether subtle, elegant, playful, or bold. Their installations can frame an entrance, float overhead, or anchor a photo backdrop, bringing structure and color to any event environment. The team works closely with clients to match palette, theme, and tone, allowing the balloons to feel custom rather than generic. Aspen Air’s touch adds visual personality and a sense of occasion, turning rooms into celebrations before the first guest arrives.
Meat & Cheese Restaurant and Farm Shop is known locally for its artisanal boards, cured meats, cheese selections, and seasonal products sourced with care. Their catering approach reflects that same philosophy: high-quality ingredients presented beautifully without unnecessary fuss. From grazing tables to small plate spreads, their offerings lean into rustic elegance — the kind that suits an Aspen dinner party as well as a relaxed backyard gathering. Their food brings guests together around shared flavors and conversation.
Aspen Beer Burro adds unforgettable charm to events by featuring a friendly, pack-trained donkey who delivers beverages directly to guests. The burro becomes both service and entertainment, a conversation starter that brings people together with laughter and delight. The team behind Aspen Beer Burro is careful about the animal’s comfort and pace, ensuring the experience feels joyful rather than gimmicky. It’s a mountain-town twist on hospitality that guests talk about long after the event is over.
