Stone Gate Weddings & Events is set in Pleasant Grove, Utah, built around a chapel dating to the late 1800s — one of Utah County's only non-denominational chapels available for ceremonies. The property offers four distinct spaces: the historic Candlelight Chapel for ceremonies, the mirrored, chandelier-lit Grand Ballroom, the brick-walled Great Hall with its wooden dance floor and pergola entrance, and the outdoor Hidden Grove pavilion with cafe lighting and a rustic fireplace. Stone Gate provides full-service wedding planning, with a dedicated wedding designer included in every package to coordinate timelines, floor plans, linens, and décor, alongside in-house catering. Couples planning a smaller or more hands-on celebration can opt into DIY packages that allow outside catering and vendors on weekdays.

Silver Fork Lodge

- 2 Event Spaces
- 2 Historic Spaces
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.

The Startup Building is an industrial wedding and event venue in central Provo, Utah, set inside a candy factory built by the Startup Family in 1898. More than 120 years of history remain on display throughout the space, from the original exposed brick walls and copper doors to the wooden support beams and posts that stand in as natural decor. The 3,200-square-foot main hall holds up to 120 seated guests or 300 standing, with an adjoining outdoor courtyard available as an add-on for food trucks, photo booths, live bands, or simply extra room for a larger celebration. Three chandeliers, cafe lights left up year-round, and a rustic copper-toned palette carry the industrial character from the indoor space out into the courtyard. Rentals run a full day and come with an in-house inventory that includes tables, chairs, a wooden arch, wireless microphones, a projector and sound system, a cake table, and a get-ready room, along with a dedicated catering prep space and a powder room. The venue hosts weddings, baby showers, and professional work events, and its sister property, The Bright Building, sits a few blocks away with a mid-century industrial style of its own.
