We had THE BEST experience with This is the Place Heritage Park for our pre-wedding photos and reception!! Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful venue options. We loved using the Garden Place for our flowing reception with it’s flexibility of having indoor and outdoor seating. We also loved having the train as a part of the reception for our guests and to send the bride and groom away. Everything worked out perfectly! Thank you!!

We had our wedding at the Garden Center and it was perfect. Everyone at This Is The Place was so friendly and easy to work with. I called them several times while planning with random questions and they were always willing to help. Our rental started at 3:00 and they had all the tables and everything setup so that we could quickly decorate. It’s a stunning venue and they made everything so easy! I’d highly recommend working with them for any event.

l! We had a couple uncommon requests and they did everything possible to make it happen for us. Each vendor had a super easy time working with the venue for set up and take down. I am so glad we chose this venue and if we had to do it all over again we would pick The Garden Place ever time!

Great Experience!!

credibly helpful wanting to help caring things in, etc. Without them, we would not have been so organized or clean at the end of the night. They were darling and wonderful, as was the whole staff at This is the Place. I look forward to going back and doing business with them again.

We had our luncheon/reception at the Atkins house within the park. It was a dream! The staff was so easy to work with and we had so much freedom to make it what we wanted:)

Unbelievably unprofessional! Beware! The people that you meet with that make commitments to you are not the people that implement. Natalie, an event coordinator, was unbelievabl...

y rude. They did not prepare the venues as promised, nor have things prepared on time for our event, so everything got started late. They added a great deal of stress to our occasion that was unnecessary, as well as not following through on what was promised.

It couldn't be a better venue. The location is central, the view is stellar, ample free parking. The only reason I did not give them five stars is their pricing is at least $500 mo...

re than comparable venues, and their Non-preferred caterer fee is $400. Yikes. The staff are responsive and professional. It was a beautiful wedding!

We had our ring ceremony and reception at the Ottinger Hall up on the top of the hill. The weather was perfect, so we didn't have any problems with our outdoor/indoor set up. The h...

ostess that This is the Place provided was very helpful. And everything was set up in time. The only problem was that some of the signs leading cars up to the venue were wrong, which left people at a closed gate that wouldn't open. Several people ended up missing the ring ceremony because they couldn't figure out how to get up there.

t. We didn't need much decorations because being outside and having the buildings dressed it up quite a bit already. They were so great when we made an appointment to look at the different buildings. The service was excellent and they had someone there to help us out with anything, any time we needed it. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE! I wouldn't change a thing about it.

I'm so glad I choose This is The Place! We were married in the Atkin home in June 2013. We had 120 guests and there was plenty of room for everyone. They all fit nicely in the orch...

ard for the ceremony, though we had to rent extra chairs because the venue only had 72. Their staff did a great job moving tables into the orchard after the ceremony for the reception. The inside has large window sills and fire place mantles for decorations. We had plenty of space for food in the room between the orchard and patio, and we had a photobooth with prop table in the living room. I got ready in the room upstairs with the balcony. They had a beautiful couch and full size mirror that we used for pictures and a nice old fashioned bathtub in the bathroom. We also rented the train to bring guests from the main parking lot to the house. They seemed to enjoy it, though we didn't rent it for long enough, so most people had to walk back to their cars at the end of the night. Over all, it was the perfect the venue for us. Their price is very reasonable as well. I don't remember exactly, but it was around 2,000 including the train.

We absolutely LOVED our wedding brunch at the Pack Home. We were looking for an intimate place to have a brunch after our sealing in the temple. The Pack Home was PERFECT! It he...

ld our party of 60 perfectly and there was still space. The attendant was great and helpful to our needs. The site and the feeling inside the space was exactly what we wanted. A few downfalls- it is hard to get in contact with the people who work in the office, so keep calling and leaving messages. Make sure you are clear and double check with the staff because sometime I would tell one person on the phone something that was not communicated to another person. to make sure the set up correctly. Also, we had to do some clean up after the brunch (all our decorations and food)- their staff does the set up and then just puts away the chairs and tables and sweeps the floors. I wasn't made aware of that and it made the end of the brunch a bit stressful for my family. However, for the great, special, and close moments and memories we shared during our brunch was wonderful and I wouldn't chose anywhere else!

here are very helpful and willing to meet with you anytime to discuss things. The only thing I wished was that for the price, there were more workers to help set things up and that they would offer more services than just tables and chairs, but altogether we had a great experience there! It's a beautiful place.

day was The Garden Building at This Is The Place Heritage Park! This lodge/barn inspired venue was just the rustic feeling that I wanted. The people that I worked with were so accommodating and this venue has all of the modern conveniences like a great sound system. I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else! Amazing!!!

han $1000. The best part about it was the service we had. The crew there took care of all the set-up and take down (all we had to do was bring in our homemade centerpieces!). We had two hostesses there throughout the reception to take care of any other needs. They literally catered to our every whim for no additional costs. It was a beautiful venue with a gorgeous view of the Wasatch mountains and the Salt Lake Valley. I highly recommend This is the Place for any Salt Lake area bride!
