The holiday season is here, and it’s the perfect time to start planning a celebration to remember. This month, we’re excited to share all the ways you can make your event one-of-a-kind at Lake Effect. From our three distinct spaces to tailored food and drink options, and even live music, we have everything you need for the perfect holiday gathering.
Imagine welcoming your guests into Lake Effect’s Main Floor—a historic, art nouveau-inspired space with warm lighting, plush seating, and a lively bar setting the mood. Hosting up to 250 guests, the Main Floor blends timeless style with a vintage industrial twist, creating a memorable space where laughter and conversation flow. It’s the perfect setting for festive mingling and enjoying an unforgettable night in one of Salt Lake’s most iconic venues.
Take your party on a journey down to the Rabbit Hole, our underground speakeasy that combines intimacy with a big personality. This hidden gem can host up to 250 guests and is a favorite for those seeking a unique, cozy vibe while still throwing a party with flair. The Rabbit Hole lets you keep the main floor open to the public, making it a stylish yet cost-effective space for your next gathering, and the perfect place for guests to escape to a world all their own.
Take the marble stairs up to Church, our maximalist gothic-inspired upstairs haven. Lit by stained glass and anchored by a striking pink stone bar, Church accommodates up to 200 guests and makes any event worth praising. Created for occasions that call for a bold and distinctive atmosphere, Church makes every holiday gathering feel like a true celebration with friends, family, or colleagues.
Looking to make an even bigger statement? Take over multiple floors or all three—each with its own unique charm—for the ultimate event. From themed spaces and multiple vendors to exclusive cocktails and diverse atmospheres, Lake Effect makes it easy to transform a holiday gathering into an unforgettable night. We’re ready to help you create something truly special.
When it comes to food, Lake Effect offers a variety of options to suit any gathering. Choose from passed or plated appetizers, a full buffet, or even individually selected meals for smaller gatherings of 25 guests or fewer. For drinks, we can accommodate any style—whether it’s a full open bar, a selection of specific cocktails, beer, or wine, or even drink tickets for a more curated experience.
Add the perfect soundtrack to your night with live music. We can help you find the right act to bring energy and ambiance, making your event even more memorable. Here at Lake Effect, we’re dedicated to helping you create the event of the year—and there’s no time like the holidays to make it happen.
No matter the size of your gathering, Lake Effect is here to make this holiday season one to remember. From intimate get-togethers to grand celebrations, our team is ready to bring your vision to life.
