Ask the right questions to find the venue just for you!

The man of your dreams asked, you answered, and now your wedding celebration adventure begins.  After you decide on a date or a couple of dates, you will want to begin your search the many reception centers in Utah for the perfect wedding location that matches your style and budget.   Begin your quest now, so you can book what you want and don’t have to “settle” for a venue that happens to be available for your date.  These are important questions to ask your Salt Lake City wedding venues as you search on the web and visit in person.

1. The first question a bride should ask a reception center is the availability of your chosen date or possible dates.  Save yourself pain by not falling in love with a venue that is not available.

2. What is the maximum number of guests can the venue handle?  If you are planning a sit-down dinner for 150 people, you need to first seek those venues that can host that many.

4. How will you be able to decorate the venue to give it a touch of your own style?  How many color choices will you have to choose from for your linens?  Do they offer stylish centerpieces? Can you hang items from the ceiling? 

5. Do you have to use the venue’s own caterers, or can you bring in your own caterer?  Can you self-cater?  Does the venue offer good recommendations for other wedding vendors in a wide range of costs?

7. Does the venue offer a wedding specialist for help in planning and a wedding host for the event itself? Some centers only furnish the space only and offer limited help and guidance as you plan.

9.  Does the venue have an alcohol policy?  What is it?  Some Utah wedding locations do not allow alcohol except for champagne.  

10. Venue restrictions – Are there any and what are they?  Some venues can not allow open flames.  Are there any city ordinances on time restraints?  Noise restrictions?

There are so many reception centers Utah offers to Utah brides.  Be sure to find the one that will fit your needs and will aid, not deter from, your beautiful wedding day.

Atrium Weddings is one of those reception centers in Utahthat creates romantic moments without a lot of decorating.  With all the green lush plants, water features, and garden furniture, the couple can feel like they are far away in an exotic comfortable setting.  This couple chose Atrium and as you will see from the photos, their ceremony and dinner was magical and so beautiful.  Their photographer is TJ Romero (RomeroPhotgraphers.com) who is lives in Denver, Colorado, but does a lot of work here in Utah.  His style is very clean and he has a knack of capturing those special moments.

Michelle and Jeremiah were planning on having their ceremony outside, but due to a Utah heat-wave, the event was brought indoors to the air-conditioned main hall of Atrium.  With a touch of white sashes on some of the chairs, the setting was ready.  Their adorable children helped as ring boy and flower girls. 

 Wedding luncheons at Atrium are beautiful wedding celebrations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mindy Mellenthin was their caterer for their wedding luncheon which was served buffet style.  The menu included pecan green salad, fresh fruit, and delicious home made rolls.  Guests could enjoy the sweet crystal candy sticks or their gift box of a mini wedding cake.  These were placed at each table setting.  Our Atrium wedding venue dish-ware package was used for the dinner before the reception.  

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her floral designs were by Skyline Flowers.  Simple vases of lilies and roses adorned the buffet tables.  Atrium’s wood bases were used for the guest tables along with Atrium’s boxwood wreaths.  The bride’s bouquet was created with elegant flowers in whites and creams.  A variety of textures were combined with the soft touch of lamb’s ear giving it an extra chic feel.  Boutonnieres were white roses with a touch of freesia.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One Sweet Slice was the chosen cake provider at this Utah wedding.  This stunning cake was a majestic square three-tiered masterpiece.  One large fondant ribbon draped over the chic grey walls and the rows of pearls at the base of each tier.  Rose petals were scattered at the base over the Tiffany blue table linen.  Simple and extremely elegant is how I would describe this work of art.

Wedding reception centers in Utah can already have the atmosphere a bride needs without spending a lot of money on added flowers and decorations.  Atrium Weddings is one such Utah wedding reception venue.
