Louland Falls

Louland Falls is a gorgeous venue and the coordinator team (Amy, Estella, and Renee) were top notch. We originally selected Louland Falls as our venue two years in advance and they were very helpful in offering their knowledge and expertise both in the months leading up to and during the wedding. We had some light rain during our ceremony and the coordinators quickly provided a solution, which reduced our stress in the moment significantly. All that said, there are a few areas in our experience that have room for improvement. We received tons of compliments from our families and guests about the quality of food provided by the Louland Falls catering team, but there were a few vegetarian/vegan diet restrictions in our guest list and we had a plan in place, but learned afterwards that the offerings didn’t quite match what was discussed. Louland Falls also has a steep hill to get to the venue and we had contracted their golf cart driver to ferry our guests up to the venue before the ceremony and down at the end of the evening, but we learned afterwards that the golf cart didn’t run, resulting in our guests walking up a steep incline. Overall, the venue was picturesque and we believe Louland Falls was an excellent choice!

We are so happy we had our wedding here. Not only was the venue stunning, but the staff was amazing. They are all so professional and communicative and they knew exactly what to do to make the day run seamlessly - multiple guests were commenting on how awesome they were. The food was great too!

I am from the midwest, while my husband is from Salt Lake. We wanted a venue that was romantic, breathtaking, and would help coordinate most of our needs for the day. We truly found that in Louland, not only is the view incredible, but they have the tables, linens, lights, and caterer all there. Amy was our coordinator and she helped make sure everything ran smoothly, helping to iron out any kinks on our wedding day. Amy, Mark, Tom, and the rest of the Louland staff want to make your day special and they truly go above and beyond for you.

Amy and Mark were so helpful and Louland Falls was the perfect venue! It was pouring rain the morning of our wedding, and they quickly put up tents for our guests and had lots of umbrellas available. The food was incredible (barbecue) and the vibes were perfect! Highly recommend this venue to others who are looking. They only do one wedding per day so you are their priority, which is important on your day!

We had planned to get married back in 2020, however with the Covid situation we had to postpone, particularly due to international guests. Mark and his team accommodated us in ways unfathomable. With so many last minute adjustments, including unforeseen weather (heavy rain!), Amy and the team were incredibly supportive and accommodating. She even made sure amidst all the craziness that I ate some dinner. She mirrored our energy and was so attentive. Her professionalism along with her bright light, made our special day truly flawless. Louland Falls comes highly recommended!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VENUE!❤️ Not only was the view spectacular, but the people were amazing! Amy ensured that my night was perfect. I was working full time, taking 18 credits towards my dual-master’s degree, and wedding planning all at once. You can imagine how big of a mess I was; however, working with Louland Falls was a seamless, stress-free experience. Everyone exceeded my expectations!💕

BOOK HERE ASAP! They are amazing, they book so fast because the venue is breathtakingly gorgeous and Mark is an amazing chef and made us the best pasta dinner! I cannot even begin to talk about the amazing coordinator Amy who went above and beyond and made our wedding just perfect. Amy is so helpful and is the nicest person and for someone who stresses out, she helped me beyond words! They are seriously amazing, when it came to the big day they made sure I was only calm and everything was covered, I never had to worry about a thing which is an absolutely brides dream! Seriously, if they can fit you in .. BOOK IT!

Not only was the venue incredibly beautiful, clean, and spacious, but working with Mark and Amy was extremely easy! We booked the venue 14 months in advance and we had constant help and communication from management while picking the menu and all the details for our day. Our wedding day went super smoothly thanks to them and their wonderful team. I would recommend getting married at Louland Falls to anyone! Thanks again!

Our wedding at Louland Falls was absolutely wonderful! We had several meetings with the owner Mark about details, catering, and planning which were so helpful. And the food from his catering company was delicious. The day of coordinators were a huge help and made sure everything ran smoothly from the timing, to the ceremony music and sound system, to making sure my husband and I had drinks and food all evening. The grounds were beautifully groomed. You truly couldn’t ask for a more beautiful venue! We got so many compliments from our wedding guests. There’s also plenty of space to dance the night away on the patio. I would highly recommend Louland Falls for a gorgeous and fun wedding day! My only complaint is that we discussed and requested vegan meals for two of our guests but they were not provided. Otherwise, everything was absolutely wonderful!

GORGEOUS place for a wedding! We and our guests (most of whom are professionals who have lived in Salt Lake for over 20 years and are used to being in beautiful venues) were all amazed at how amazing the setting was, and we all wondered how it is possible that not everyone knows about this hidden gem. Mark and his team of coordinators were true professionals - the food (catered by Mark, which also made the wedding planning much easier) was SO good - how often do guests rave about the food at a wedding??? They did for ours! The coordinators (Megan and Nicole) were super organized and kept the day flowing well, the bartenders were fun and personable, and the dance floor was large enough for over 100 guests to be dancing at the same time. The day was so wonderful that we wish we could do it all over again...and if we did we would most certainly choose Louland Falls, Mark, and his team again!

I was so so happy that we chose Louland Falls for our wedding venue. Both coordinators were extremely helpful making every idea happen and easing the flow of events. Amy and Megan were cheerful, sweet, thoughtful, and took the stress off of my plate. The gorgeous outdoor scene makes it where you don’t need to think about or spend money on excess decor, because it’s naturally perfect! It’s a special place for guests to visit and spend a night of dinner and dancing at. Plenty of space for 200 guests. The owner, Mark, owns the catering business which you must use for food…. but it tasted amazing. They offer open house events once a month for brides that book with them so that you can meet vendors and taste food options-for free! They also book up dates fast and are closed in Winter season, so book a year out for your ideal date. If you’re looking for a unique outdoor space close to Salt Lake City, with the mountainous and serene vibe-this is your place!

My wife and I got married at Louland Falls and it was nothing short of incredible. Mark and Amy are so amazing, the venue is beautiful, employees are great, and the food is really good! It is well worth the price. I would absolutely recommend booking with them. You won’t be disappointed.

We had the worst experience at this place. We booked our date back in 2019 for Sep 2020. Due to COVID, we requested to push our date back to Sep 2021. We made this request to change dates in July 2020, and had to pay additional to change our date. Mark confirmed that the date was available and happily accepted the extra money we had to pay. and just 2 days ago 11/10/2020, Mark emails us and tells us that the date we switched to back in July was double booked and he has no other available dates! Why did it take 4 months to tell us our date was no good!? Mark made no real effort to fix his mistake. Because it took 4 months to let us know all the other dates were booked and all he could do was give us a refund. Our wedding is less than a year away and Mark screwed us over royally. All other venues are booked because we weren't the only ones to have to push our date back. Worst experience EVER! Oh and we are still waiting for our refund.

Stunning place for an event! Such an amazing team to help with your big day!

The weather was less than ideal on the wedding day, but the wedding coordinators that work with you at this venue were very helpful and organized in dealing with the situation. What could have been a disaster was saved by these venue coordinators. I am so glad I chose this venue. It was beautiful and everything was as I imagined-- minus the weather changes.

Amazingly Gorgeous Venue-10/05/2019 Louland Falls was the most perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. It turned out to be everything she had envisioned. Working with Mark from the beginning was easy. He and Amy (the on-site coordinator), made everything run effortlessly and smoothly. They were both so flexible and helpful throughout. The day/venue was magnificent. The views, waterfalls and lights made it so beautiful. The food was great and all of the guests loved every part of the evening.

I had my wedding here on 8/31 and it was absolutely everything I could have dreamed of and more. Where do I start? Working with Mark the owner was awesome. He gave me best practices, advice and was all about making sure I as the bride was happy. - Venue: Gorgeous location where the beauty of the surrounding nature speaks for itself. - Dog-friendly: We definitely wanted to include our dogs in our ceremony and this place is 100% dog friendly and they really actually love dogs so they are good people! - Food: Sometimes wedding food can be hit or miss but ours bomb, even hours later when we were eating it in bed at 3am after the wedding. Mark also accommodated a bunch of food allergies for me without compromising quality. - The service: Every single employee was AWESOME. They are so knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. We were hugging at the end of the night because they took such good care of us and all of guests. Just everything was 100%!! Definitely get married here!! It’s so affordable and you get top notch service and beautiful surroundings at your finger tips.

We loved the venue! It was absolutely beautiful and working with Mark was a breeze. He was often quick to respond by text or email and if there was a delay, he always apologized and explained why. We had so many comments about how stunning the property is. If you book with Louland, make sure that you have your entourage assigned different tasks. They have an on-site planner that you meet the day of, and if you don't have a liaison then they have to talk to you--and trust me, you don't have time to think about everything on your wedding day. I forgot to assign a driver to the golf cart, so it sat unused all evening and my guests who were going to be driven up from the parking lot (it's steep) had to hike up instead. I mentioned it a couple of times to the coordinator, but nothing happened with it because of everything else going on. The food was good (what little I tasted of it, but I didn't hear any complaints) and they had everything needed for cake cutting, the band, signage, etc.

Louland Falls is such a beautiful venue to get married at. Mark, the owner, was always available to answer our questions that we had and he was always willing to work with us. Amy, the coordinator, was great! My entire wedding day went smoothly with the help of Amy and her team. Overall, the venue was beautiful, the service was amazing, and the food catering was delicious. I received a lot of compliments from family members and friends on how beautiful and coordinated everything was. The most important thing that I loved about having my wedding at Louland Falls, is that you can tell and feel how much Mark and Amy care about your happiness. For any future couples wanting to get married between May-October, I would HIGHLY recommend Louland Falls.

This venue was so incredibly beautiful, and the on site staff was very professional, friendly and willing to help. I do wish there was more communication from the staff in terms or coordinating everything that was needed on site. I didn't meet the coordinators until the day of the wedding, which added some stress that could have been eased if there was a plan made a week before, or even a couple days before the wedding/reception. The food was excellent, we did run out of food, its hard in UT because people do NOT RSVP, so you just don't know how many people are coming. We did try to warn the venue that my husband has a HUGE family, and they will just show up, but they didn't seem concerned about it. We ran out of food in the last hour or so, which wasn't the worst thing that happened, but my some of my family didn't even end up eating some of the food because we were so busy in line. We were told that they would reserve plates for us, but I'm not sure what happened to them. Like I said above, some of these issues could have been avoided with some coordination and checklists prior to the wedding, That's the only reason I give this venue 4 out of 5 stars. Otherwise, it was such a beautiful experience!

OH MY WORD!!! This was my dream location and Mark worked with me to help the venue and catering cost fit my budget. I couldn’t of asked for a more caring , down to earth staff the day of my wedding. I highly recommend. There aren’t enough words to describe the beauty of this location. Best. Day. Ever.

Extremely professional and kind staff! Disappointed with the punctuality of setup of dinner. We clearly agreed upon 2 hours prior and the linens were not on any of the tables, which delayed setup of table decor/settings. Our guests loved the venue!

We did not end up choosing Louland Falls for our Venue for a couple reasons. But, the one thing that really turned us off from Louland was the experience we had from the very start. Mark, the owner, wasn't very welcoming on the phone and seemed sort of scattered when we spoke, which worried me. Then we showed up on the date and time we had agreed to a few weeks before and he had forgotten all about our tour! He was super standoff-ish when we arrived and didn't even apologize for his lack of professionalism. He then told us to show ourselves around and when we were done he gave us a quick, half-effort explanation of what to expect. My fiance and I were immediately turned off and thought if this is how it goes for a simple tour, what would happen during the stress of a wedding? The venue is stunning, but ownership was lackluster.

Mark and his staff were exceptional. They were professional and organized. I arrived with flowers, liquor and desserts galore, and they handled everything from setting up the bar, to plating the desserts, to staging flowers on tables and arbors. I didn't have to do a thing and all was perfect. They also have a venue that accommodated EVERYONE. We had elderly people inside in the comfort of air conditioning, children outside playing in the grassy areas, with their parents in comfortable view, and everyone else exploring the multiple terraces, walk-ways and dance floor. All with spectacular vistas, excellent food and constant inquiries about our needs. BOOK IT! you won't regret it.

Picking a wedding venue and the wedding planning process can be confusing and overwhelming...but not with Mark Petrey and the Louland Falls staff! From beginning to end, everything just ran in the background and went smoothly. Not once did we have to worry or stress about something from the planning process all through the day of the wedding...it all went so great! We also loved that they had a lot of items that we could choose to use if we wanted (like linens for example). Mark was always quick to respond to emails and picked up the phone when we called which put our minds at ease. The venue itself is just stunning. Each one of our guests commented how beautiful it was. It’s honestly just a hidden gem! The grounds are kept very nice, the arbor makes a statement with its size yet somehow just blends in with the surroundings all at the same time. The grass was green, everything is surrounded by trees and greenery and the red rock walls are stunning. Walkways were cleared and the waterfalls are fantastic! You really couldn’t ask for a more beautiful wedding venue than this and a better staff to work with. Some of our guests actually guessed the total cost of our wedding as double what it actually was...and most of that was due to how wonderful the venue was! We loved that there was also an indoor area where the food was served from and also in case there was inclement weather, we had a place to go. The spaces for the bride and groom to get ready in were also fantastic with a “common” space that you could hang out in before everything started. We couldn’t have had a better experience and a more perfect wedding than we had and the venue is what set the tone for the entire experience. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing! Do not skip on Louland Falls as your wedding venue, we highly recommend it!

We had originally booked with Louland Falls with another operator but she had to turn the operation of the venue to Mark (who runs Cosmopolitan Catering). The handover from her to him was smooth and all existing agreements regarding the contract we had signed were honored. Mark met with us at the venue a couple of times to go over planning and layout of the wedding and for the most part was responsive to our requests. I did send an email requesting a scan of the layout he had made in one of our meetings and never got a response. The day of the wedding it was a little colder than we were expecting and he and his staff worked with us to accomodate the weather by moving the tables inside and that worked out. Two reasons for giving a little bit of a lower rating on some items. The main one is that the bridal suite had an odor of raw sewage in it. I'm not sure it's a persistent problem but it was noticeable by everyone in there and not a great way to start off the day. The second is that the two women working the venue asked my wife a few times during the reception about the timing of things. It would have been vastly preferable for them to not bother her and be respectful of the limited time we had with family. They should have stuck to the predefined schedule or at least asked someone else and not her. All that being said, the venue was a beautiful spot for our wedding and everyone had a great time. I would recommend them for future couples considering a venue if the issues with the bridal suite are addressed.

This is a beautiful place to have a wedding/reception! Mark and his staff are very flexible and accommodating. And they are willing to work with your budget. It doesn't take much to make this place look beautiful! Thank you for making my daughter's special day be a day she will always fondly remember!

Beautiful location. Staff was very helpful. The grass was almost all brown for having the wedding the first of June.

NEW OWNERSHIP ALERT- AND THEY ARE TERRIBLE!!!! This venue was just sold to a caterer and the place went from a 10 to a 0. My friend just got married at this venue (after signing on with the previous owners) and they got hosed. They let the grass die- yellow dead grass for your wedding pictures. And they don't care and didn't give the bride and groom a discount. NO WEDDING COORDINATOR- which they actively say in the contract and on the website. The owner only allowed set up 2 hours before the wedding and while my friends hauled all the decorations, alcohol, etc., the 'coordinator' and 'staff' sat around watching them. ZERO help. Friends set up the entire wedding. All throughout the wedding the owners child and/or useless coordinator were sitting on a chair in full view of the guests on their phone or laptop. Um, what?!?!? The waiters didn't fill water glasses until halfway through the dinner after a guest told them to do their job. A champagne toast was in the contract and the owner on the day of the wedding told the groom he wouldn't have the waiters pass the champagne and to tell the guests to get the champagne at the bar. Has this person never been to a wedding???? Who does that? After the groom got really upset (on his wedding day!) and argued with the owner he finally agreed to have the champagne passed. Possibly one of the two people sitting around on their phones could have helped out? Oh wait one was dressed in jeans at a semi formal wedding. Classy...The owner also made a new rule at the reception and closed down the bar early. When the laws were reiterated to him about alcohol and timing he stated 'well those are my personal rules'. Brides and Grooms- if u want to argue with a venue owner the entire day of your wedding, have dead grass for your ceremony and pay for a coordinator to do nothing - then this is the place for you! The florist that did the wedding stated they had never seen the place look that bad and would not be referring any clients there with this new ownership. Florist also asked if the couple would get money back for the dead grass. I feel horrible for all the couples that booked this place before the change of ownership. The new owner clearly thinks he can just buy a venue, sit back and let the money roll in. What was once a wonderful wedding venue is now a disgrace. Good luck to those brides and grooms coming up- you'll need it. June 2015 was this wedding.

We were recently married at this venue in August, and I will say there are a few pros and cons. PROS: -the venue is beauuuuutiful -the grounds are well kept (lawn is green and mowed) -the owners are very nice and laid back -you can choose your own caterer, although I do not suggest doing a formal plated dinner there as it is very difficult CONS: -the rest of the venue is generally unkempt when you visit (if you go in for a meeting during "wedding season" expect it to be a mess) -the bathrooms are always a little dirty, even the day of your event -the owners are laid back to a fault-they forgot we were coming for meetings on multiple occasions, making us wait 40 minutes and making our rehearsal VERY hurried -the owners live ON the property, and their new baby sleeps RIGHT next to the bride and groom's rooms (a detail we didn't know until some of us tried to go inside for touch-ups and we were told to be quiet because the baby was sleeping) -I dropped my linens off 8 hours before my wedding for them to be pressed, only for the venue to tell me they didn't know if they would have time...even though the ONLY thing they were responsible for was setting up my tables...all decorations, china, centerpieces, etc., were set up by other vendors -the staff is extremely under-dressed at your event Overall, the venue was beautiful and the staff was nice. It definitely did not live up to its $6,000 price tag, so I'd suggest booking this venue when prime-time is over and it's less expensive.

Not only is Louland Falls absolutely GORGEOUS, but their staff is very friendly and helpful in planning your big day!!! I was planning my wedding from abroad and they were so helpful in helping me not only with organizing things at their location but also with finding other vendors that matched what I was looking for. Not to mention the stunning view from their venue! Our guests were blown away by the natural beauty of this location. People are still raving three months later about how perfect everything was and how it looked like the perfect fairytale!!! I would highly recommend this venue for anyone who wants a breathtaking and unforgettable place for their wedding.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful and Lize was a wonderful help!

We held my daughter's wedding here last Saturday, the venue is gorgeous, everyone was blown away! Guests often commented they hadn't ever seen a more beautiful venue and so close to Salt Lake! The venue price includes so many things that others charge extra for, helped our budget so much. If that wasn't enough, Lize and Rachel and their staff were incredibly helpful, they did everything for us, even many things we didn't even think of - they made things even more wonderful. I've heard of pampering the Bride, but as the Mother of the Bride I felt pampered too! I was able to just enjoy the celebration, I cannot thank them enough or recommend them more highly!

Louland Falls is so beautiful that you don't need a large amount of decorations. It is such Utah beauty, red rock, green trees and the waterfall. All of our guests mentioned how wonderful the setting is. You can't go wrong. Love love love!!

Our summer wedding at Louland Falls went more perfect than I ever could have imagined. The staff was patient, helpful and kind throughout our entire planning process. Our wedding & reception were both handled so well by the employees, the weather and mountain back setting were gorgeous... I would highly recommend Louland to any couple passionate about nature & a stress-free venue!

The people who work up at Louland Falls are amazing! They helped everything run smoothly the day of the wedding and were incredibly helpful and easy to work with the months leading up to the wedding. I could not imagine getting everything put together without them, they even did a great job putting out our decoration and picked up some items from Diamond Rental for us :) If you are getting married go here, you won't regret it!

Everything turned out splendid! They were willing to work with us on everything, and even let us go up early to set up. I was very impressed! My dog was a part of my wedding as well, and they were happy to let her attend. They even held onto her for part of the night when she got a little overwhelmed with all the people. There wasn't a single request that I made that they didn't work with. And the place is beautiful. The waterfalls were gorgeous, and the cliffs made a beautiful backdrop. Not a single complaint. Also, if you're military, they give discounts!

The people, the location, the facilities. Everything is awesome!

The location and natural beauty of this venue can't be beat. Our guests have been talking about how gorgeous it is non-stop. Lize and the staff are INCREDIBLY accommodating. I don't think they said no to us once. They are great to work with, friendly, and really just want to make sure you have a good time. Go visit, chat with them, you will love it too. SO happy we chose them, everything was perfect.

I loved having my wedding here so much that I hope to have another event here again in the future.

Lize and Ryan were incredibly helpful when it came to anything dealing with the wedding! They helped keep everything running smoothly and reminded us when certain things such as father daughter dance, our first dance, and much more. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have my wedding and reception.

Louland Falls is a great venue for a smaller, private, outdoor wedding. The staff we helpful and went out of their way to ensure we could set up the ceremony just as we wanted. Little is required for decorating because of the great location, but be prepared to have to take care of your personal touches (the staff will help a little). I consider this venue one of the best I have seen in northern Utah for sure.

Almost every one of the guests at my wedding raved to me about how beautiful this venue was, I even had one older couple say that when they renew their vows next year they will do it here for sure. Lize (the owner) was AMAZING to work with. She really knows what she is doing and the services and advice that she offerred throughout my planning was invaluable. This venue is so beautiful and was the PERFECT place to have my wedding.

Louland Falls is mother nature at her best. They were the best wedding venue to work with from start to finish. Maria was wonderful to meet with and start a blue print of our dream wedding and then we met with the owner Lize who was amazing and so accomodating to us. She was there the day of the wedding making sure everything went perfect and helping set up our decorations. Every guest there told me how beautiful the venue was and that they had no idea it was even there. A true gem!

I loved having my wedding at Rose Sachs Garden (now Louland Falls). They keep the landscape up really well. It has a great grassy area for a ceremony, lots of space on cement for tables and enough room for dancing and an indoor portion for the catering area and tables (or I suppose dancing). They had enough outlets for all electrical purposes I needed. They worked with us nicely on some specific details. They switched owners from the time I booked it to the time I had my wedding. They had made several good changes that improved the look. There is a natural waterfall and a man-made waterfall that has a nice ambiance to it. I didn't have to meet with the coordinator too many times. She does have a bit of a tendency to get off topic when you are discussing an item. She's easy to work with. She was a little slow on returning phone calls, emails and texts with me, but I eventually got the needed information. I'm very glad I had my wedding there.

The location could not be more beautiful, and Maria, the lady who runs everything is brilliant.

I found Rose Sachs Gardens at a bridal expo and we were invited to a catering tasting at the venue. It was GORGEOUS. My husband and I live in Salt Lake, but our wedding was in Florida. If we had chosen to have our wedding in Salt Lake, we would have chosen Rose Sachs, 100%. We walked around, took pictures, envisioned where we would do everything. It is a beautiful, natural, romantic setting that will make a perfect venue for any wedding.

Maria saved my wedding day. It was supposed to rain, but she allowed us to work around the rain. The waterfalls in back were absolutely gorgeous! I wish the guests could have seen more of them; however, due to the large amount of rainfall this year, the creek had over-flowed. I wish I would have more time to decorate the night before or day of, but overall I was really pleased with how my day turned out.

Everything was perfect!!!
