No doubt that Lorna and Braden are comfortable together and have a fun relationship. Their wedding reception at Atrium Weddings, one of Western Gardens wedding reception centers in Utah, was a joyous occasion and we have the pictures to prove it!

They hosted about 300 guests and treated them to a delicious Hot Chocolate Bar. The bride’s family also provided sandwiches for the family prior to the festivities after their ceremony at another location. Guests sat at tables adorned with Ivory striped base linens with pewter toppers and then crowned with Atrium’s standard glass candlelight centerpiece resting within the boxwood wreath!

Lorna chose the easy and beautiful route of hiring Cindy Crump of Heritage Wedding Cakes to create her stunning 3-tiered wedding cake. Simple elegance is how I would describe it!

After a simple beautiful ring ceremony, Lorna and Braden enjoyed a lot of fun dancing with guests and family with their DJ Trevor Ockey who also acted as their MC for the evening activities. The couple also completed the traditional bridal bouquet toss, garter fling, and cake cutting!

Group photos by Garzand Photography demonstrate the true personality of this fun beautiful couple and their amazing fun bridesmaids and groomsmen! And if this wasn’t enough, they also hired a photo booth to come join in the fun!

As soon as possible, a wise bride will first focus on getting her wedding plans organized. Get your smartphone organized right off the bat as you plan for your wedding reception! Before you are tempted to visit all the many utah wedding venues to find that perfect one, some brides find it very useful and less confusing to create a special email address dedicated to only your wedding communications. As you search for wedding venues in Utah or cake designers or whatever vendor you are needing, they can communicate directly with that designated email address. Create those folders and sections on your phone to hold all the vendor names, phone numbers, addresses, and details that you will be gathering for the next several months. Remember to take photos of those cake designs or floral arrangements that you hope to be replicated for your own wedding celebration.

Some brides still find it useful to use the old style paper file or three-ring binder. Have pockets to place photos and ideas that you come across. Tear sheets from magazines you want vendors to see! A picture is indeed worth a thousand words, especially when you can leave an actual photo with the vendor so they have a reference photo when they create your cake, or floral arrangement, or dress, etc.

Your wedding ceremony and reception will be a lot less stressful if you will take a few moments in the beginning to get organized and stay organized.

Madison and Zach enjoyed their approximate 300 guests at one of the wedding reception venues in Utah that is run by Western Garden Centers called Atrium Weddings.

They enjoyed a self-catered event during which close friends supplied sliders, salads, chips, fruit, and finger desserts. Notice the absolutely gorgeous fondant covered Mr. and Mrs. sugar cookies. Madison opted to use Atrium’s elegant dishware package for her buffet style setting. This wedding reception was all a family affair as the cake was created by Madison’s sweet mother Vanisha. They took advantage of the beautiful baby grand piano and invited a pianist for live music for part of the evening. The florist was Lauren Richardson. Their photographer was Emily Whitehead and their videographer was Brad Winegar.

Not all wedding reception centers in Utah allow such flexibility for the bride and groom and their families. We were honored to be a part of Madison and Zach’s beautiful beginning.

The Mother of the Bride left us the following comment: Thanks for having a facility and staff that allowed me to do what I wanted.

Ashley and Jared enjoyed their wedding celebration at one of Western Gardens wedding venues in Salt Lake City, Atrium Weddings. As you can tell, Ashley found herself very relaxed and enjoyed her evening with her new husband Jared.

Her classic colors of cream on white with an accent of peachy pink were elegantly reflected in her simple decorations throughout the reception center. Ashley’s four-tiered round cake was cloaked in the same tones and embellished with the classic string of pearls. The crown of the cake was a bouquet of pink and cream flowers.

Congratulations to Ashley and Jared on a new beautiful life together!

Wedding Reception Centers in Utah Can Host Weddings with a Tongan Flair

This was one of the most unique and beautiful wedding I’ve been to. Honoring the old traditions of Tonga with the modern traditions of today was fascinating. This was a ceremony and wedding dinner event. The ceremony was performed outside at the Waterfall Plaza at Atrium, one of Western Garden’s wedding reception centers in Utah.

The family first laid down a traditional mat for the bride and wedding party to walk upon to her future husband. The best men and boys sat down on the mat to witness the union. Even a couple of the women sat down on the mat to watch. The most tender part for me was to watch the bride procession to the front. She was escorted by one of her 5 brothers. At the back of the guest seating, another brother stood up from the crowd and traded with her brother continuing her walk forward. Several steps later, another brother took his turn and so on until the oldest brother walked her to her waiting fiancé. Her father had passed away and it was so tender to watch those big brothers embrace her and walk with her to the front. I shall never forget it. After the ceremony, everyone went inside to enjoy a sit down dinner for about 140 guests. Lani Kai supplied the delicious polynesian courses and a family friend created the couple’s cake. There were smile around for everyone at this Utah wedding reception center.
