The Best Mountain Wedding Venues in Utah
Updated
Utah is known for its epic mountain scenery including snow capped peaks, high elevation aspen groves, flowing rivers, and slopes wooded in pine forests. The mountains are a major part of life in this beautiful state, especially since most of the population lives within just a short drive of the canyons and peaks. In addition to the mountain scenery, we are also known for the greatests snow on earth. There’s a reason the Wasatch Mountains are home to ten world class ski resorts.
If you dream of saying “I do” in the mountains, we’ve certainly got you covered. Most Utah ski resorts offer weddings and events. There are also many beautiful venues nestled in the peaks that you should consider for your mountain wedding. From rustic barns to cozy restaurants to modern event spaces, you’re sure to find the perfect mountain venue for you.

For stunning mountain views in a serene setting, easy access, wonderful service, and beautiful facilities, look no further than Snowbasin Resort. This is one of my favorite mountain wedding venues because the scenery is beautiful and everything about the venue feels both effortless and elegant.

Snowbasin feels far away from the city hubbub, the drive up to the resort offers gorgeous views, and the resort itself feels comfortable and welcoming. Also, parking is the easiest of any ski resort venue I’ve worked at.
