It was raining that day, so my friend had to change her initial plan of having an outdoor ceremony to an indoor one, but the staff still managed to make her wedding smooth and beautiful. The reception was good, with tasty food, little pastries, and a cute cake. Toward the end of the reception the staff did seem a bit in a hurry to get everything cleaned up (probably because it was a Sunday,) but overall the service was good too. Seems worth checking out if you're having a small wedding or gathering.

We booked back in January of 2012, when the place was under a different management than it is now. We had a contracted sign and paid in full. Yet the new management tried to change our contract. They no longer did center pieces so we had to provide our own. They tried to tell us that they could no longer do black table cloths. The new manager him self was not very friendly. He seemed irritated that we were using our own cater even though we paid an extra 100 for using an out side cater. They new I was very upset with there service so they promised they would try and do everything they could so that nothing else goes wrong. But the day of our wedding the people who were there didn't seem like they knew what was going on. $500 worth of flowers for my bridal party were dropped off at the reception hall and someone put them in the fridge. Meanwhile when my ceremony started no one knew where they were. They didn't find my flowers until after my ceremony. I would NOT recommend them. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, without having to worry if the people that are running your wedding are going to do what they were paid to do.

I often wish that everyone would and could build a mansion for themselves made out of brick. There…read moreis so much charm and character in this beautiful 21-room mansion. I think everyone deserves to call something so stunning their home. Now the reality is that only a few individuals can afford to live in something so grand. Alfred McCune was the wealthiest man in town. He was a railroad builder and a partner in Peruvian mines. It took three years to complete this house. While we weren't able to look inside the mansion we strolled around and awed at the exterior of the house. You can rent this home for a few hours for weddings and other occasions. You can call (801) 533-0858 ext. 104 and see if they do historic tours.

The building used to be an old church, so I really admired the beautiful stained glass windows and the preserved architectural details. It still carries that subtle sacred and holy vibes. It's now a marketplace with an open space filled with sofas, benches, chairs, tables, coffee shop, tattoo shop, plant store from what I recalled. People can rent out the space to hold social / community events there, too. I ended up staying for a few hours after visiting the bookstore to participate in an arts+craft activity. I saw people ordering coffee and spending some time there to read &/or socialize. Parking can be found in the streets. Free Saturday and Sunday, but of course, suggest checking the sign. Next time, I'll come back to check out other stores and the upper level.

The venue is next door to Usana amphitheater and Foreigner was playing with a pretty big crowd. The married couple were fans of the band so they thought that was cool. Two of the bands members were playing golf 15 minutes before they went on stage and I had a chance to talk with them for a minute as they finished. We had worried about traffic but things went smooth for everyone coming. The staff here was so accommodating, helpful and friendly. Anything we asked for or had questions about were answered quickly and professionally. Guests marveled at the view and were impressed with the buffet and setup of the venue. Really we couldn't have asked for more. Special thanks to Jeremy for getting things planned with us and following through on everything (it was their busiest weekend). Charisse was incredible to work with and made the night unforgettable with her suggestions and help. The bartender was great and many commented on her fun and happy attitude. The whole staff is to be commended. If you're thinking of booking do not hesitate and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

The outdoor area is absolutely…read morelovely-there's a great shade structure, lots of wide, open space and a beautiful backdrop of Murray City Park. The bathrooms were large and clean and I loved that the water fountain had a bottle refilling feature. Indoors, however, was a little less amazing. It was loud (acoustics weren't very good, cramped (far too many tables in the space) and the food was set up in a corner that became incredibly crowded. This may not be the fault of the venue, but perhaps something they could consider when helping people plan their events. There is ample parking, however it's a little awkward. There are only a handful of spots right up front, which is where everyone automatically goes. If you park over by the ball field, you'll find more space over there. Doable, but not intuitive at first. With some tweaks, this could be a great place!

There are no passenger elevators, so trekking up and down the stairs with luggage without being "climatized" to the altitude is a challenge. It should be noted the staff will assist you with your luggage if necessary. Regarding the location, it is fantastic. The views are incredible; it literally looks like a post card. Although not skiing season, there are lifts (not in operation due to summer) everywhere. I imagine it gets pretty packed and crazy during the winter. Hiking opportunities are everywhere right outside the lodge. We went on a "novice" hike that took us to the top of a mountain like eight miles away. OMG. As part of the wedding party and my officiant duties, there were multiple breakfast and dinners organized by Alta Lodge. The staff was fantastic, and the food was good. Alta Lodge also has a weekend brunch that attracts people from all over the area. The brunch was top notch! Regarding the accommodations, we had a fireplace, balcony, and a view of the mountains. It was a great sight. Our room did a have a bad smell (as did other rooms in our group) that I believe is the result of months/years of moisture in the carpet, drapes, and wood. This is the only thing I did not care for. Only other issue is the front desk is not occupied 24/7, and anyone can walk off the street and into the hotel. I would recommend better security. Overall, the customer service and quality of wedding organizer made up for the two issues noted above. Again, the service at Alta Lodge was excellent!

My wife and I attended a family wedding event at their venue in East Draper (at what was formerly a…read moregreat Chicago-style pizza restaurant), and had a really nice time. The room was nicely decorated and handled about 50+ people, with large tables supporting their nicely-catered dinner event after the completion of the wedding ceremonies. I did not partake of the catered dinner, but my wife and others report it was very good...with plenty to be had by the invited guests. Drinking water should have been placed out for everyone's use BEFORE the event started, not after the ceremony. One note is that if CBB provided the small PA system, please check, and then re-check it for volume and positioning so that the audience could hear the pastor. CBB may also want to wire the room with overhead speakers and a dedicated audio system for future events. The gathered throng also figured out how to open the picturesque sliding/folding south doors with a beautiful view of South Mountain (and the Draper Temple if you're so persuaded), and moved out onto the back deck for photos (since the November weather was so pleasant.) A nice little gathering place that suited the occasion well. Four Stars.
