Weddings

Gardens, Patios and an 1895 Home

your day, start to finish

An outdoor wedding venue in Utah

Every Moment at One Address

Imagine a day where every moment feels like a dream. At The Grand Victorian in Layton, Utah, you get ready in one of 2 bridal suites, marry in the gardens or inside the house, take portraits on the 1895 porch, and dance on the patio under bistro lights, all without moving your guests.

The rental is 12 hours, 10 am to 10 pm, with seating for up to 150. Our team sets up and takes down the tables and chairs, two event hosts stay with you all day, and our whole decor collection is yours to use.

01 Ceremony

A Garden Ceremony, or Inside the House

The two acres of grounds wrap the house in lawn, mature trees and garden beds. Choose an arch and set it in the garden, by the bridge and water feature, or on the lawn in front of the house. In winter, or if the weather turns, the ceremony moves inside.

Your Caterer, Our Bartender

Food is a big part of your wedding, so we don't have in-house catering: bring your own food or hire any caterer you like, and ask us for our list of qualified, insured caterers who work here often. If you serve alcohol, our exclusive bartender serves it, either your own or one of the bartender's packages.

Planning Your Day Here

How many guests can The Grand Victorian hold?
The Grand Victorian seats up to 150 guests. Most receptions use both the indoor rooms and the two patios, which open from indoors to outdoors; the patios alone seat up to 64 at garden tables.
Can we have an indoor or outdoor ceremony?
Both. You can marry outside in the gardens, under one of our ceremony arches or by the bridge and water feature, or inside the house. There is a microphone jack in the outdoor ceremony area for the officiant.
Do you provide audio and video?
Yes. There is a Sonos audio system throughout the house and speakers outside over the patio, a microphone connected to the system, and a second microphone jack outside in the ceremony area. The carriage house has a TV with a USB port for slideshows and videos.
Who sets up and takes down?
Our staff sets up and takes down the tables and chairs, and handles any changeovers during the day. Two event hosts are on site for your whole event.
Can we bring our own decor?
Of course. Decorate as you like as long as nothing already here is damaged: no permanent glue and no nails larger than a tack. Whatever you put up must come back down. You're also welcome to use any of our own decor at no extra cost.
How does parking work?
The Grand Victorian has about 85 spaces in the main lot and a vendor lot for about 10 cars. The main lot fits charter buses and passenger vans.
Are sparklers or fireworks allowed?
Sparklers are allowed. Chinese lanterns and aerial fireworks of any kind are not allowed on site under any circumstances. You don't want to be the one who burns the place down after 100+ years.
Can we decorate the day before or stay later?
Yes, if the dates are open. Starting to decorate the day before or extending your checkout time is available for an additional fee.
