Many of the local dining establishments are available to rent for your next celebration, and some feature private rooms or separate areas, so although it may be the busy season, it's often good to call and see what may be available, as restaurants are always very accommodating, no matter what your needs may be. A considerable amount of local restaurants also provide catering for your next event, so if you prefer to hold your event at home or a different location, your favorite menu items will still be available to impress and satisfy all your guests.
The larger resorts such as Margaritaville, Porto Cima, and the Village of Four Seasons have purpose built facilities to accommodate any size event, and offer amenities such as lodging and entertainment to help create an entire experience at Lake of the Ozarks, from weddings to corporate retreats. More moderate locations are also available such as Memory Lane Event Venue and Lake Breeze Event Center to name a few, in addition to several golf clubs in the region which are also very well suited to host events, including Old Kinderhook and Osage National, providing activities as well as comfortable surroundings and landscapes.
For more tailored gatherings to suit your specific event or group needs, facilities such as Encounter Cove provide the required event services in a religious setting, while amenities include all the same waterfront access, caving, ropes course, ziplines and exceptional dining found in the region. Lake of the Ozarks also hosts the 450 acre scout reservation, replete with amenities for children and young adults alike, and for a more mature experience, several wineries may host events including tastings, as well as restaurants and bars in the area eager to share their wine, bourbon, or other top shelf collections at your next gathering.
