We loved working with the team at Snow Park Bakery! They created the most beautiful grooms cake and wedding cake for us, bringing our vision to life.

Our ceremony and reception were both located at the Deer Valley Empire Lodge. We stayed at the Silver Baron Lodge but also had some friends and family room at the Lodges at Deer Valley. Everyone had a blast and the Deer Valley employees were all a pleasure to work with. Our wedding coordinator was Catherine Bradley and she did an outstanding job!!! I highly recommend this venue!

We were married at Empire Lodge and it was absolutely stunning. Ceremony outside and reception inside, plus we had the Ruby lift running during cocktail hour. Our guests loved the lift. The food is divine - I believe Deer Valley is known for its food and they did not disappoint. Plus the on-site planner we worked with, Catherine Bradley, was WONDERFUL. She really went above and beyond. Couldn't have been happier.

I cannot say enough good things about Deer Valley Resort and their staff. We worked with Karen Gibbs, who was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process. I was nervous about having higher expectations than the typical Utah wedding, but Deer Valley went above and beyond on everything. The chef was flexible with the menu, designed a gorgeous dessert buffet and also coordinated signature cocktails with our colors. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had, and we have received many compliments on the dinner service.
Another thing I should mention is that I did not hire an outside wedding coordinator, and never felt like I needed one when working with the staff here. They were more than helpful with set-up, queing vendors and everything else you may need. They were also able to coordinate linens and lighting for me.
If you are considering holding a wedding in the Park City area, you MUST check out Deer Valley as I couldn't be happier with the service I received.

The Empire Lodge in Deer Valley is a fantastic place to have any event, but certainly a wedding. You're surrounded by nature, but have a building that is both grand and fitting in with the surroundings (stone and wood). You can use the inside (with high ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and french doors), the wraparound deck, and the grass area beyond. You can even rent the chairlift that runs from this bowl to the top of the mountain for part of the time! (Or just rent the cabin on the top of the mountain.) The food is spectacular, and the options are endless. And the event coordinator (Catherine) is so helpful, sweet, honest, and flexible that we couldn't have been happier. Deer Valley is PRICY, but it is actually worth it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Way up in the mountains above Park City, UT, there is a ski resort called Deer Valley. It is a place where the best snow exists in the winter. But some of its best beauty is shown with the weddings that take place there. Weddings make time still and the evenings end with everyone wanting more.

Everything at Deer Valley is magical. They have multiple venues, and each of them are stellar. They are the perfect mountain setting for your Park City wedding. The staff is incredible at providing perfect service and ensuring that your day will run smoothly. Not all venues go over and above, but Deer Valley DEFINATELY does. Very few can compare with the spectacular value that is provided at each of their venues. PLUS, we are obsessed with shooting at their properties...! STUNNING!!!!
