What We Handle

You bring guests.
We bring everything.

Most venues hand you a room and a price sheet. Dogwood handles the whole experience — food, drinks, games, AV, staff, and the kind of energy your guests will talk about for years.

01

Custom Catering

Passed appetizers, buffet, plated dinner, or shareable spreads — pulled from our full scratch-kitchen menu. Dietary restrictions handled.

02

Bar Packages

Open bar, beer & wine only, drink tickets, or self-serve beer wall access. Premium cocktail options for upscale events.

03

Reserved Activities

Dedicated bowling lanes, axe throwing lanes, private karaoke rooms (O'Fallon IL), VR Arena (Ellisville), and game card packages.

04

Private & Semi-Private Spaces

From intimate party rooms for 15 to semi-private buyouts for 200+, we have a space that fits your group.

05

Dedicated Event Staff

A coordinator who handles setup, timing, and logistics from start to finish. You're a guest at your own party, not the manager.

06

AV & Presentation

Mics, screens, projector setups, music control, and our massive LED video walls for slideshows, speeches, or game day.

Arrive 30 minutes early to greet guests. Your event coordinator is on-site the entire time. Pure fun.

From Our Guests

Real events. Real words.

Hosted our 30-person corporate kickoff at Dogwood Ellisville. The team handled everything — bowling tournament brackets, food, drinks, even cleared the AV for our 20-minute presentation. Best off-site we've ever done.

We rented the karaoke room at O'Fallon IL for my sister's bachelorette and the night was unreal. Custom playlist, food delivered straight to the door, and the group loved that we didn't have to bar-hop the whole night.

Maid of Honor · Belleville, IL

Booked my son's 10th birthday on a Saturday afternoon. Twelve screaming kids, arcade game cards, two bowling lanes, pizza, and a party host who kept everyone on track. I just took photos and ate wings. 10/10.

Common Questions

The answers.

Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Have something else? Reach out below and we'll respond within 24 hours.

  • What's the minimum group size? +
    We host events for groups as small as 10 and as large as 200+. Birthday parties typically start around 8–12 guests; corporate events usually run 20–80. Weekday afternoon bookings have more flexibility on small groups.
  • How far in advance should I book? +
    For Saturday evenings, book at least 4–6 weeks ahead. Holiday season (November–January) fills up months in advance — book by July or August for best dates. Weekday and afternoon events often have shorter lead time.
  • What does pricing look like? +
    Pricing varies based on group size, day, activities, and catering selections. Most events run $40–$95 per person all-in. Holiday parties booked through July get 10% off. We provide a transparent custom quote with no hidden fees.
  • Can we customize the food and drinks? +
    Absolutely. Pull anything from our full menu — pizzas, wings, signature plates, handhelds, salads. Add custom touches like a themed cocktail or a signature drink. Dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegan, nut allergies) are easy to accommodate.
  • Do you handle kids' birthday parties? +
    Yes — kids' birthdays are one of our most-booked events. Packages include reserved space, food (usually pizza + wings + drinks), game cards for the arcade, dedicated party host, and cake setup. We handle the logistics so parents can actually relax.
  • Can we bring our own cake or decorations? +
    Bring your own cake — no problem (no cake fee). Decorations are fine within reason; we ask that you skip anything that could damage walls or floors (no confetti, no wall tape on painted surfaces). Our team handles setup and breakdown.
  • Is there a deposit? +
    Yes, a deposit is required to secure your date. Typically 25–50% of the estimated event total, depending on event size and timing. The balance is due on the day of the event. Cancellation policies vary by lead time.
  • Which location should I book? +
    Depends on what you want and where your guests are. Ellisville has the VR Omni Arena and the largest beer wall. O'Fallon IL has private karaoke rooms. Cape Girardeau is our flagship with massive LED walls. All three accommodate large groups equally well.
