Love Notes
“Think mountain lodges meets Beauty and the Beast. It's just an absolutely magical venue that is cozy and warm and inviting, but also so refined. The views are unbeatable and the location is so easy.”
— Kay
“Snowbasin hosts the very best weddings. The team there is amazing (our venue coordinator was Harley) and takes care of the tables, seating, table linens, catering, bar service, dishes which is so nice. It's expensive but really good value for the pricing it is and better than many other similar venues in SLC. The venue is naturally stunning and requires very little additional decor in order to look stunning. Overall, we couldn't have been happier to get married there and I would highly suggest any pair looking at wedding venues to take a tour of Snowbasin.”
