Alice Hardie Stevens Center

The Alice Hardie Stevens Center is a Laramie venue for organisers planning weddings, receptions, anniversaries, birthday celebrations, graduation parties, meetings and community gatherings. The centre is part of the Laramie Plains Museum grounds, offering a distinctive setting for events that benefit from historic character without being held inside the museum’s collection spaces.

Indoors, the main room features a wooden floor, a stage and a high, beamed ceiling. A catering kitchen is available for event use, and organisers may choose their own caterer, as the museum does not provide catering. The venue supplies a selection of tables and chairs, which can help with planning seated dinners, receptions and other gatherings. A bridal suite with its own bathroom is also available, making the centre a practical option for wedding celebrations.

For outdoor occasions, the museum’s East Lawn can be reserved separately. This quarter-block lawn is framed by gardens and mature trees, with folding chairs and an iron arch available for use. It can provide a setting for ceremonies, receptions, fundraisers and other private functions. Organisers can ask about combining the lawn with the event centre or arranging wedding photographs in the historic mansion, subject to prior arrangements with museum staff.

The venue also offers half-day hire for morning or evening events, and welcomes business and non-profit bookings such as training sessions and office celebrations. Dates are reserved through the museum, with popular summer weekends and graduation periods often booked well in advance. Organisers should discuss availability, pricing, access and any venue-use requirements directly with the team when making their plans.
