A Truly Magical & Unforgettable Venue Experience For Our Wedding

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to say “I do”! This venue is absolutely gorgeous — breathtakingly beautiful with a charm and uniqueness that set it apart from any other location we visited. Every corner of the property was picturesque and full of character, making our wedding feel incredibly special and memorable.

What made the experience even better were the owners. They were an absolute dream to work with — warm, professional, responsive, and truly invested in making our day everything we envisioned. Their passion for the venue and for helping couples shines through in every interaction.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the setting, and we are still in awe of how magical the whole day felt. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind venue that will leave a lasting impression, look no further. This place is a gem!!

Beautiful & Magical!

When we first saw this venue we knew we needed to get married here! The venue is surrounded by gorgeous views: the mountains at the back and the trees all around us. There's even deer and wild turkey! Although they don't appear when there's a lot of people, when it's just you and your spouse and you see deer pass by you, you can't help but feel like you're in a fairy tale.

The place is gorgeous, so no need for extravagant decorations. We got married in early September, so even though some leaves were turning colors, the trees in the venue held onto their green. There's also easy access for caterers to come in and ample parking!

Trent and his family were very helpful in answering our questions and were more than happy to help us with all our needs. You can really feel their love for the venue. Their prompt responsiveness and eagerness to make our day perfect really helped take some stress off the big day.

All our guests told us how beautiful the venue was. It's the perfect place for a magical wedding and I highly recommend!

Magical venue

Absolutely LOVED this venue! We celebrated our wedding here in late May, and it was just magical. The greenery is GORGEOUS, making every photo look like it came from a fairytale. Everyone kept talking about how stunning the place was. The venue is really spacious, which was great because we could set up everything just the way we wanted. It's so naturally beautiful that you barely need any decorations to make it look good. The owners are super chill and helpful, making the planning process so easy. My only regret is I wish we could have spent more time there—it's such a beautiful place, you never want to leave!

Unforgettable Day

The owners of the venue were so lovely and easy to work with throughout the whole process for our wedding in June. They really have created a beautiful atmosphere—especially at night with all of the lights! With most of our guests coming from out of town we wanted to pick a venue that showcased how beautiful Utah is, and Goosenest Grove rose above all of the other venues in Utah County. Our guests are still raving about what a fun and unique wedding we had.
Could not recommend this venue enough!

Dream wedding

Where do I even begin? Goosenest Grove is the perfect spot for a unique, fairytale wedding. The owners are so amazing to work with, and ensure that you are well taken care of. There was SO much to accommodate all our guests, along with lots of fun amenities (including sand volleyball, playground, bathrooms, outdoor pavilion, and a spacious yurt).

I hardly had to stress about having enough decor, because the beautiful scenery is all you really need! That was the selling point for me- you get the beautiful, mountainous feeling while still being easily accessible. There is plenty of parking too- another selling point for me. I could go on and on about this place, but pictures will do a better job depicting just how amazing it is!

Beautiful and Intimate Wedding Venue

We were married May 2020 at Goosenest Grove. Because of COVID, we only had a handful of people in attendance but there was definitely enough space for a reception that we’d originally planned for at least 150 people. The grounds were very well maintained and it had great areas naturally separated for eating, dancing, the ceremony, and games. There were multiple different great photo shoot locations which I loved! If we could do it all over again, I would 100% go to this venue again!

Wonderful!

Got married in October and it was beautiful!! The trees and lights were just how I wanted. It was nice to have the pavilion, yert, drink shack, lawn, and other open areas! There’s room for plenty of people! So many commented how beautiful it was. Pavilion is big enough for a program or dance. There’s also good parking and bathrooms. Would recommend!!

So UNIQUE. Definitely recommend

Such a fun venue! Who ever thinks to have their reception in a YURT?! So cool! It was cozy, intimate and we loved being surrounded by the nature there. The Mehlhoff’s who run this property are so easy to do business with and made sure everything ran smoothly! We loved it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
