McCune Mansion is a 1901 house in downtown Salt Lake City, dark red brick trimmed with brownstone outside, English oak, marble and leaded glass inside. Three floors of restored rooms open onto gardens, and a wedding here is a formal day held in a house rather than in a ballroom.
The house has spent most of its life being something other than a wedding venue. It was a music school, then a BYU extension, then a dance school, and it’s a private event venue now. Most of what a wedding costs here and how the day runs comes down to a phone call rather than a published rate sheet.

McCune Mansion Wedding Info
The mansion was built in 1901 and stands three floors tall, and a wedding day here moves through those rooms and the gardens outside them.
Ceremony Sites at McCune Mansion
Ceremonies have happened outdoors on a terra cotta patio and indoors in the grand salon or the third-floor ballroom.
The formal ballroom is the space McCune Mansion names now, and it describes its settings more generally as indoor and outdoor, so confirm the room you want is still on offer before you plan around it. The gardens around the house are part of the outdoor option.
Reception Spaces at McCune Mansion
The formal ballroom is the named reception space, and the mansion has described room for a cocktail reception on one floor with dinner and dancing on another, using the house’s multiple floors across the evening. Tables, chairs and linens come with the rental, arranged through the mansion along with food and beverage.
Getting Ready, Lodging & Guest Logistics
There’s a separate bridal suite and a groom’s room for getting ready. A wrap-around porch has been listed among the mansion’s features. There’s no lodging on site.
McCune Mansion is about a 10-minute drive from the airport and sits in a residential part of downtown Salt Lake City. Couples have been asked to keep the neighbors in mind with noise, even though no curfew is published, which is worth knowing if you want a late reception.
One wedding a day has been the pattern here, so the house is yours for the day.
Catering & Vendors at McCune Mansion
Catering runs through McCune Mansion itself rather than through an open list of outside caterers. Utah Food Services and Culinary Crafts have been named as the caterers couples work with here, so ask how much choice you have when you call. Bar service and event planning are handled the same way, through the mansion. Visits are by appointment.
McCune Mansion Wedding Cost
The last figure McCune Mansion published was a $7,000 base rental, in 2023, and we’re working on getting couples a current one. It covered tables, chairs and valet parking, and it didn’t cover food or beverage.
The mansion doesn’t post a rate now. It asks couples to call for pricing and availability. Because catering runs through the mansion, ask for the room and the food quoted together, so you’re weighing one number instead of two.
