Well, not
real disaster, but it certainly is "disastrous" to me. It's
wedding-related (as you may have guessed). The place we picked to have our wedding, as seen
here, decided to become a
drug rehab center instead of reception center. No, I'm not kidding. Now we can't have our wedding there AT ALL. Two and a half months before the event, and we're back at square one. Please (
I'm reaching out to all you Utahans) enlighten me with
any suggestions you may have. Keep in mind, our wedding is on a Saturday in the middle of this summer. Here are the must-haves:
- alcohol permitted
- preferably northern Utah area (I love mountains)
- outdoor ceremony area
- a lush area big enough for 50 guests
- BBQ accommodations
- we'd like to do our own food (we don't wanna be forced into using caterers)
I'm not opposed to a pretty backyard or park-like setting. The wedding we have in mind is super casual, a bit whimsical, simple, rustic, nature-inspired but above all, fun. Help us.
Thank you.

oh no- i am so sorry. don't stress too much. i know it's impossible to not stress.... but it'll work out. ya know i have to promote the davis conference center because i work there... it's a great facility. but not plush and you have to use our chef. cactus & tropicals is a pretty place to have a reception.... good luck!
There's that nature preserve place in Ogden. I went to a friend's wedding there on July 19th, 2008 (Chelsea Bauer [Layton?] was MOH actually).
They had alcohol (I think I was the only sober person ha), it had like 50ish people there...maybe a few more. I don't know about catering or costs though. It was a party afterwards and crazy fun.
It's very outdoorsy but still really nice. Go to Melissa McFadden on my FB friends and she has a wedding album.

Thanks, gals. BOTH great ideas. Amy, I totally went and checked that place out. It seems nice, but it's not available anymore.
Christy, I looked into doing it here a long time ago and I think I will revisit the idea, thanks to you and Lisa. The Ogden Nature center ROCKS and is reasonably priced as well. Thanks for the reminder on that! Now, I am feeling a little less stressed because I think I might have some options for us. All-in-all, it's the marriage that matters most--not the wedding. So, I will stop freaking out. :)
