One of the newest reception centers in Utah, Ivy House was filled with family and friends to celebrate this new couple’s union.  The children’s room was well used and guests felt so comfortable to linger longer to enjoy the spirit and atmosphere of one of the finest wedding venues in Salt Lake City.  The bride’s favorite refreshments – waffles – were the refreshment served with the most stunning fruit bouquets.  Ivy House was the most perfect of all wedding locations for this beautiful couple.  Many comments were made by the bride and family…  

“Our overall experience was fabulous, way better than a Church gym!”  

“Ivy House definitely exceeded our expectations.  This was the most affordable of the wedding places in Utah that we looked at.  It had many “extras” included in the base price.  These ended up being a big deal.”  

“Your staff is extremely professional and friendly.  Helpful when needed, but stepped out of the way enough to allow the family to do their thing.  We appreciated that.  Your staff was the best!”  

“The sparkler send off was perfect!”  “

We consider Ivy House as one of the upscale wedding venues Salt Lake has to offer.”

December 1, 2011 Wedding Reception

This was an incredible reception.  The party included a jazz band that inspired great dancing and fun.  With fondant draping under soft delicate roses, the cake was stunning.  The evening was full of happy reunions and joyous celebration at the union of this beautiful couple.  They took many portraits on the spiral staircase, under the golden draped arbor, and aside the majestic fireplace.  Vintage photos of the couple dotted the tables along with vintage decor throughout Ivy House.  The bride’s gown sparkled in vintage glamorous style.  One would never guess that it was created by her mother.  Be sure to notice the attendance of a missionary, via a cardboard cutout of the groom’s brother who is on a mission.  This was truly the union of two wonderful families.  To top off the beautiful evening, donuts were the refreshments and there were absolutely no complaints!   “Many Thanks!  We will highly recommend Ivy House to others.  People had a wonderful time!”
