Log Haven Wedding Info
Log Haven marries a rustic mountain aesthetic with pure elegance. It’s a historic Utah venue, originally built as an anniversary gift for the wife of the founder of Geneva Steel. Now it is one of the state’s best restaurants. It has beautiful grounds, including a lake, waterfalls, winding paths, intimate patios, and too many wildflowers, trees, and ferns to count.

Wedding Ceremony Sites
Log Haven offers several options for your ceremony.
- The waterfall and garden patio is a lovely outdoor spot where you can wed in front of a natural waterfall on the hillside. While the space is normally a reception space, it also can be used for ceremonies. In the winter months, it is tented and strung with lights to become the Winter Conservatory.

- The Lakeside Garden Meadow provides the largest outdoor location. It is a large lawn overlooking a beautiful pond surrounded by flowers and cattails.
- The Wasatch Room, Foyer, and West Deck offer the largest dining space with a spacious foyer, private deck, and view of the cascading waterfall and pond areas.
