Maurice Abravanel Hall is an architectural and artistic icon in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Built in 1979 as the home of the Utah Symphony, the hall is named for longtime Symphony conductor Maurice Abravanel and is part of the Salt Lake County Arts & Culture family of venues. The building is designed as a concrete structure within a brick shell, an arrangement that blocks outside noise so the Symphony's sound resonates off white oak walls with distinctive raised paneling. Inside, gold-leaf-covered tiers and balconies — 12,000 square feet of 24-karat gold leaf donated by O.C. Tanner — pair with brass railings and six brass-and-crystal chandeliers strung with 18,000 hand-set Bohemian crystals. The four-story glass lobby overlooks Temple Square and the Wasatch Range and is home to the Olympic Tower, a red blown-glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly.

Silver Fork Lodge & Restaurant is a mountain lodge set 11 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah's Wasatch-Cache National Forest, a mile from Solitude Ski Resort and three miles from Brighton Ski Resort. Though only 30 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, the lodge sits deep enough in the canyon to feel far removed from the city. What began as a general store in the Silver Fork mining community — an area with roots dating back to the 1850s tent camps of miners and sawmill workers — has grown into a full-service lodge that keeps its rustic, historic character alongside recently renovated rooms, lobby, and bathrooms. The lodge offers seven guest rooms with mountain views, each stay including a complimentary breakfast from a kitchen known for house-made specialties like sourdough pancakes. Its indoor banquet space and upstairs space host winter wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, and corporate events for up to 60 and 80 guests respectively, while the surrounding grounds — framed by spruce, aspen, and fir trees — open up to larger summer celebrations of up to 250 guests. Wedding packages include catering, table settings, linens, an archway, firepit, and a day-of coordinator, with a complimentary room offered to the couple based on availability.

Today the grounds hold a covered patio, a Chinese Garden, a Wild West corner, and a large open field, giving hosts a mix of shaded and open-air settings for weddings, receptions, business meetings, class reunions, and family gatherings.
