Wedding Florists in Salt Lake Valley

Choosing Caterers for Your Salt Lake Valley Wedding

From professional to oh-so-delicious, Salt Lake Valley has delectable catering options that are sure to make your mouth water! I love the idea of having several food trucks at your wedding to mix up your menu. However, that doesn’t mean the food won’t still be incredible!

For instance, here are some impressive caterers in the Salt Lake Valley, Elizabeth’s Catering, LUX Catering and Events, The Food Truck League, and Angela’s Catering. Having food trucks at your wedding is a fun way to bring the party outside, and keep things casual and light. Plus, they’ll be able to just pack up and drive away at the end of the night, no clean up for you to worry about! 

Hair and Makeup Artists

If I were to describe Utah’s Hair and Makeup Artists, I would call them professional artists! The amount of sheer talent these vendors have is out of this world incredible. However, here are a few standouts from the area, that would absolutely kill it on your big day, Versa Artistry, NC Studio Utah Makeup Artist, Kristen Packard Artistry, and Lunatic Fringe Salon.

Officiants

Next up, officiants. No matter what type of ceremony you would like to have, Utah has it all! From intimate to hilarious, you are sure to find the perfect match for your special day! Here are a few of my recommendations, Utah Wedding Officiants, Simple Nuptials, Linda Radford, Miguel Carrasco, and Stephen Jeffrey Watson.
