About

Our passion is quality flowers for all to enjoy. As our slogan states, it’s in our nature to give a great product and great service. We have been located in Highland Utah since 1992. Read on to learn more about us and our Utah wedding reception center operations.

Highland Gardens’ roots grow deep. Starting as a wholesale supplier in 1984, it supplied independent nurseries around the state of Utah. With a simple formula of hard work, the wholesale business quickly grew and needed space for expansion.

In 1992, the business moved on to 6 acres located in Highland, Utah and became Highland Farms. Within another year, it expanded an additional 4 acres. Currently there are over 80 greenhouses and over 150,000 square feet of growing space.

Highland Farms opened a retail site shortly after known as Highland Gardens. Local customers could come directly to the grower for their quality plants. As word spread, the small flower shop grew in popularity and reputation for quality and customer service.

In 2005, Highland Gardens made a major improvement with the construction of its double atrium greenhouse for its retail center. This building has solidified the local customer relationship that has made Highland Gardens a success.

The beauty of the double atrium was inspiration again to create another venue for others to enjoy. In 2008, a portion of the atrium was dedicated for receptions and event center. Decorated with live tropical gardens and water features, the Utah wedding reception center at Highland Gardens has become one of the best secrets for wedding receptions and events and has quickly become one of the most sought after Utah wedding reception center.

Every year the Utah wedding reception center, Highland Gardens sells over 15,000 baskets and planters, and over 80,000 flats of flowers.

Second Wedding Reception here!

Kim with the Reception planning was amazing. She is very professional, and even though this is our second time reserving this place for a wedding reception - there have been improvements! The temperature was perfect even in August and we will definitely book again for the next one. We had to change the reception date a few months early and she made it so easy for us, as we had enough stress changing everything - she was awesome! Thank you Kim!! Our hostess was amazing, even accommodating us with an aux cord which we forgot! And to start off she offered to play some reception music before we had our own to plug in. We appreciated everything this venue had to offer. It’s so beautiful and decorations can be minimal yet still being so romantic. We will see you all next time! :)

Highland Gardens made my wedding a dream come true. We received comments from every guest about the breathtaking beauty and romance that the event center holds. The flexibility in decoration was perfect and we loved being able to do whatever we wanted with the place. The hostesses were wonderful and helped in every aspect.

Absolutely AMAZING! The best way to describe them on their service is they make it simple. They include as much as possible. They had just about every decoration I needed (included in my cost) and they set up and clean up. They completely accommodate to your needs. You also get the location for the full day! It is simply stunning on its own and I wouldn't have wanted a wedding any place else.

Highland Garden's was incredible! The provided everything we needed to make our reception absolutely gorgeous. They even offered insight into what couples had done in the past to make everything stunning. We were married in Hawaii and had a reception in Utah a few weeks later. We wanted our venue to feel tropical, and Highland Gardens definitely met all of our expectations!

I was looking for a secret garden type theme for my wedding. Highland gardens gave me exactly what I was looking for a so much more. Shelly and the staff were beyond amazing. They were there for me every step of the way and made sure that my special day was a dream come true. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue with a more attentive staff. Jennae and Shelly helped make my wedding perfect.

I loved having my reception here. They charge one rate for the whole place for the whole day. It is breathtaking and the space is so easy to work with it. The staff was so helpful and gave up tips that they had found helpful. It was a perfect evening. We had a ring ceremony and they didn't charge us extra for that room. Seriously so simple to decorate, super accessible to guests, and everything we were looking for! I loved it!!

This is a fabulous place for a wedding! Our daughter and her fiance (now husband) are BYU students, but we live across the country and Highland Gardens was perfect for us. Shelly and her staff were excellent to work with: very professional, promptly communicative, very friendly, very organized. Their facility is gorgeous with wonderful live greenery, beautiful stonework, fireplaces, a waterfall, and fabulous lighting. They take excellent care of it. Having our daughter and her husband's names on the marquis is a wonderful touch, too, and it helps guests know they've arrived. Wonderful!

One of the great things about Highland Gardens beside the beauty of the facility itself was the fact that our reservation gave us the place for the day. We had family and friends from across the country and across the world at our event, and many had nowhere to go but a hotel that wasn't really close to our ceremony site, the Mt. Timpanogos Temple (which is only one mile away!). But with the way Highland Gardens conducts business, this wasn't a problem! The bride and bridesmaids were able to use the gorgeous, spacious bridal room to get ready starting at 9 am. We had a brunch for our ceremony guests at 11, then a wedding ceremony at the temple a mile away at 2 pm. The reception started at 5:30 pm. From 9 am till the last guest left, there was always a comfortable place for our guests to gather and enjoy the day. No other venue offers this. Everyone raved about how comfortable the day was and how nice it was to not be driving all over the place from one venue to another and how nice it was to not have to find somewhere to kill time between the ceremony and the reception. Everything was contained in a one-mile radius and accessible all day. Perfect!

I would absolutely recommend Highland Gardens to anyone hosting a wedding, or any event for that matter. We had a truly wonderful wedding day there!

This venue is the best bang for your buck. When renting Highland Gardens, the venue is yours from 9 a.m. until midnight. They have tables, chairs, table linens, and dinnerware available for your use. We took advantage of the commercial kitchen for our family dinner, which helped to save money on a caterer. They assigned a hostess to our reception who was helpful. Her job was to assist the bride and make sure everything went smoothly so the bride and mother of the bride could relax. Choosing Highland Gardens for the reception was the best choice.
