My daughter recently had her wedding ceremony and reception at Wild Orchard Ranch. Not sure how she found it. Overall, the venue was OK.
Rustic setting in South Weber, Utah. Rural enough for ambiance, but it's not so out of the way that you're screwed if you forgot something and need to run to the store because you're 2 hours away from civilization - if you know what I mean.
Rural setting also meant there was no electricity. Everything ran off generators.
Rural setting also meant there were no street lights . . . or street signs . . . or a street. Make sure your headlights are working and that you're not scared to drive on an unlit, country, dirt road at night.
No alcohol allowed unless you make prior arrangements - which includes hiring a licensed bartender and signing a liability contract. The staff was very clear about the rules and consequences. Although this didn't affect us, I was taken aback at the threat of having the police called if alcohol was found on the premises. Gotta love Utah.
No drones allowed - in case you were wanting drone footage for aerial photographs or videography. Apparently, the venue is located in military restricted air space.
Parking was minimal.
Kitchen was smallish. Only matters, I guess, if you plan to self cater - which my daughter chose to do.
Pre-decorated (country Pintrest style).
Staff was pleasant. read more
