Amazing, LEGENDARY and Epic!

I am the Bride and just had my wedding here on July 8, 2023. It was LEGENDARY! I had my ceremony on the field and then the reception at the Club.

We worked with Ali the most from the Club. She was super communicative and attentive prior to the wedding and on our wedding day. I always could trust that I would hear from Ali right away. It was nice having a venue coordinator like Ali that is super reliable and detail oriented.

The only hiccups that occurred was the fire alarm went off, but that was before the wedding. It was funny to laugh about as the ladies were getting hair and makeup done. There was also an issue with one of the elevators at the end of the night. The only recommendation I would make is to have more signage than you think you need to direct your guests. My guests who are not familiar with Rice-Eccles, easily got lost. Other than that, Ali and her team did a great job! They made sure we had enough to eat and drink.

Ali was able to created signage for the screens on the wall and directional signage. Ali even brought a nice full length mirror for Hair and Makeup from her house. We used the suites to get ready and it was the perfect space and lighting! The team would check in frequently to make sure we were doing okay.

I really could not have asked for a better wedding day and I’m so happy we had our wedding at this venue. The views are incredible from both sides and it felt so intimate!
