I had the absolute pleasure, privilege, and joy of watching my son get married in this beautiful…read morehistoric courthouse this past summer! It was a perfect, elegant venue and the staff involved made a typically stressful situation seamless and so easy. A courthouse has been at this location in one form or another since the first one was built in 1866, then a second larger one in 1872, leading to the most current neoclassical Greek style building you see today - built in the 1920s. It's massive and opulent - full of marble, statues, balconies, chandeliers, and art deco stained glass! It's well worth a stop if you're exploring the area - even if you aren't part of a wedding. About a month prior to this, my son and his then-fiancé decided to cancel all their original plans, do something much smaller, and they moved up the wedding date by several months - so we were all scrambling to pull this off inside of a month to say the least lol. I had to help the kiddos plan everything out last minute - which would've been chaos except I found this beautiful venue pretty easily by doing a google search of historic courthouses in the area. And it was even easier after that bc they have an online appointment booking system for marriage licenses and wedding ceremonies. In less than one week we had appointments booked and all the basic plans made! The kids were able to get the license easily and effortlessly - what a relief. The day of the ceremony we showed up and waited in line for less than 10 mins. Bc we originally were going to use their officiant, we had a scheduled appointment for their ceremony room etc. But bc my now-DIL was having her ordained uncle perform their vows, we didn't need the ceremony appointment after all and were free to perform the ceremony anywhere we wanted. We absolutely loved the interior of the main courthouse and asked if we could have it in there without an appointment etc. Since our party was pretty small (there were 14 of us), they happily gave us permission as long as we kept the noise level reasonable bc there are offices inside with employees etc. And there were no fees for holding it there so that was a nice bonus. Everyone we encountered inside the building was friendly and helpful and we had the place to ourselves the whole ceremony! It ended up being such an incredible ceremony and experience - better than we ever could've expected. The staff were also very obliging in regard to the photography - I made sure to bring my camera of course lol! Getting to photograph my son's wedding made it that much more special. It's the only time I've ever photographed humans haha!! And likely the only time I ever will lol! The grounds are beautifully manicured and make for some excellent photo ops as well - especially with all the mountains in the background. There's plenty of free parking surrounding the buildings and it's all flat and very walkable. Huge Ty to all the staff at the courthouse for helping to make our big day so special!

This is a beautiful courthouse in downtown Provo. Utah County clearly paid great attention to…read moredetail in restoring and upgrading the building. It has a historic, palatial feel as everything is glossy and new with an old-timey style. The outside of the building has a traditional neo-classical courthouse design complete with marble pillars and carved fresco at the top. The marble stairs leading up to the main entrance are also impressive and clearly made by hand. Inside, there are offices for community organizations, as well as the American Legion on the top floor and second floor, with a few courtrooms on the bottom floor. There is also a marble statue on the main floor. It appears that the courthouse also serves as a community space. We stopped by during the Freedom Festival on the 4th of July and they had an art exhibition on the main floor. Everything was super clean and it was clear that everyone respected the space. Overall this is a neat stop to make if you are in Provo on a trip or looking for a short and interesting activity. Five stars!

The only way to enter the underground lot is by traveling east on 400 South before passing State Street. Enter the parking garage, grab your parking ticket and take it with you inside the courthouse. The jury coordinator will stamp your parking ticket and validate for the day. The courthouse garage is the best option over the other parking lots when traveling by car. WIFI I couldn't figure it out. It's also unsecured network so no point in doing tasks for work on laptop.

The District Court handles probate, adoption, civil, domestic, criminal, and juvenile cases, as well as housing the Utah Supreme Court (Appeals Court). The majority of business that happens here is down on the first floor in the north wing of the building. This is where the clerks for domestic, civil and criminal do their work. It also holds the probate clerk. The line for the clerks is often long and you may have to wait upward of 40 minutes sometimes. This is not typical however and the clerks do the best they can. The clerks office is very short staffed, so don't blame them. they are doing the best they can, and most are extremely helpful and will point you in the right direction. This is NOT the place you go if you are paying a traffic violation. For that you need to go to the Salt Lake Justice Court. Coming here wastes your time and others time. Don't do it. There is also a cafe located in the back west wing on the first floor. I cannot attest to the food there as I have never eaten there, but I am told that the food isn't terrible. All in all this courthouse is nice, but hopefully you never need to come here.

The local paper had a contest when it was first constructed, and the courthouse took second place in their "Ugliest building" contest. Ouch. Cheese! Snap plenty of pictures because do you know what? I'm going to put this out there: I like it. I didn't say I LOVE it, but I do like it. Ya, it feels a little dystopian, standing there appearing windowless, 10 stories of glass. But there are some really great details, and I like the aesthetic of the grounds, the materials, and the whole project. It shows flow. It works together. Inside, you have a fun bunch of courts, offices, US Marshals, and a cafe. Currently, Roula's Cafe is located inside. They're listed separately here on Yelp. There's room for nearly all types of shapes and sizes in the SLC skyline, and I'm not hating on cube-shaped buildings. Resistance would be futile.

Nothing scandalous, nothing TV-worthy, at least that I've ever seen or been involved with. In the course of every day goings on, sometimes you have to go to the courthouse and I'm happy to report there's a district court in the south part of the valley, it's got loads of parking, it's right off of a main road, the facility is perfectly useful, and though I've never had any official business here, I have had to come in to pick something up on an errand and the front end staff have been knowledgeable, and it's been relatively painless. Is it just me, or do you also want to shout "You're out of order!" every time you get near a courthouse? No? Just me? Well, the last time I saw the inside of a courtroom was jury duty a long time ago, and I managed to keep it in. I'm not in a rush to be a regular here, so I think we're safe.

Utah Capital Building The seat of Utah's government is open…read moreto public for tours and exploration. You can visit the Senate, the House Chamber, and the Supreme Court Chamber. The building has cherry blossom tress all around it , so during spring it is a treat for the eyes - that is how our guide explained, but for me, the building on top of a little hill, emerging from the snow looked magical and fairy tale'ish. Being the Capital Building, it has plenty of parking. Vip's and dignitaries have specially reserved areas. Admission is free. This turned out to be especially important with building quite a distance from the city , and being winter, restaurants etc are mostly closed, and the temperatures outside freezing - it was perfect to just stay as long as it was open, enjoying the warm temperatures , admiring the huge buildings, the painted ceilings, innumerable art pieces around, the number of floors, AND a cafeteria! It became a full day picnic .... lol. Mon- Thursday- opens as early as 7 am and closes at 8 pm. The grey building and its sober interiors, with dash of golden , sometimes due to the sculptures and sometimes due to electric lights, makes it interesting for many pictures. Oh! and the stone lions outside are majestic ! The Grand Rotunda dome, the murals and the Gold Room are some of the highlights. Definitely worth a visit.

Now, after many surgeries, she is OK but this prosecutor that wants to prosecute him, raised it because the police investigated it and said it was a misdemeanor reckless endangerment. But the prosecutor raised it to a3degree felony because he wants his hunting privileges taken away. 10 years or life and he can't do that with a misdemeanor because he thinks my 35-year-old son who has never done anything wrong in his life. Will do it again. He actually said that, and if I would've been there I would've said to him you can think what you want but why would you think that when he's never done anything he's opened a bank account for my granddaughter because it's his niece. He feels like shit about it. It's been nine months and she's doing Fantastic. So if this ends up going to court, it will cost my son about $35-$40,000 for a good attorney and then he will lose his great paying job because of a felony. They've already told him that even though they love him, it's just their policy and his family will have to go on welfare which is his wife and son. Who in the hell wins out of that?
