Most outdoor enthusiasts dream of getting married in the fresh mountain air. I too had that dream and was able to fulfill it this summer at Deer Valley Resort. My husband Matt and I did a lot of research before deciding where to tie the knot and I thought I'd share what we found with you. With so many unique mountain resorts and wedding venues in Utah, it was difficult to choose the one for us. Below you'll find my research and I hope it will help you make your decision easy!

Deer Valley Resort has many wonderful options for a wedding ceremony and reception. Cushing's Cabin, Snow Park Lodge, Empire Canyon Lodge, and Silver Lake Lodge. Each beautiful and unique with a weather plan to implement if necessary. We chose Silver Lake Lodge for our cocktail hour and reception with our ceremony held on Bald Mountain. Taking the chairlift up to the ceremony was quite special for the Bride and Groom and the guests!
While Alta Ski Area does not host weddings, several of the lodges at the base of the resort have amazing event spaces. The Snowpine Lodge, Alta Peruvian Lodge and Alta Lodge all are great choices for a scenic wedding in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
We want to say a big thank you to Deer Valley for taking care of us on our big day and we wish you all the best in choosing your wedding venue.
