Utah is a popular location for couples to tie the knot thanks to its truly beautiful scenery, red rocks, and diverse landscapes. Luckily there’s no shortage of stunning small wedding venues in Utah for those who are after something a little different!  

From eloping in incredible outdoor locations to having a smaller, private wedding with a selection of their closest family and friends, many people are opting for this over the bigger, more traditional occasions.

So, if the idea of having an intimate celebration in a mesmerizing location appeals to you, let me introduce some of the incredible Utah small wedding venues! 

The Top Small Wedding Venues In Utah

Autocamp Zion

One of my all-time favorite travel experiences was staying at Autocamp Yosemite – every detail was so intentional and lovely. If you’re looking for a thoughtfully designed, heartfelt experience, Autocamp is perfect for you. And my favorite part – the lawn offers a unique location for an al fresco gathering under Zion’s famous starry skies.

Red Earth Venue

In the heart of Canyon Country is Red Earth Venue, a private wedding venue surrounded by 17 acres of land. With sweeping views of red-rock cliffs and the gorgeous red desert, it’ll make you feel like you’re the only couple on the planet! 

Choose from The Desert Platform surrounded by open land or, the Pavillion Site where you can celebrate both indoors and out. Imagine your boho, desert celebration here with your nearest and dearest, celebrating under the stars and enjoying the relaxed and romantic ambiance from the overhead cozy lights!

Under Canvas 

Under Canvas is a spectacular wedding venue for couples who want an outdoor micro wedding in Utah that also includes their friends and family. They have three different glamping camps in Utah: Moab, Zion, and another luxury brand in Moab called ULUM. You can guarantee each of these locations will have nothing but the most breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape! 

The Under Canvas elopement package allows for up to 30 people with a 2-night minimum in their luxury canvas tents, so you can reconnect with nature and create unforgettable memories at the same time. As a bonus, you can take part in their complimentary morning yoga class and end the night under the twinkling stars around the campfire. 

Amangiri

Located in Canyon Point, Amangiri is a luxury 5-star resort, perfect for couples after a small yet modern wedding with mountain views. The contemporary architecture compliments the surrounding vast 900 acres of dramatic landscape full of stark beauty!

The Amangiri has a handful of gorgeous locations for couples after an intimate and private wedding. From the cozy Fireside Pavillion, The Chinle Site for a laid-back and intimate celebration and Raven’s Nest to have a private meal surrounded by towering sandstone. 

The Amphitheatre at Camp Sarika would make an incredible backdrop for your wedding ceremony. With up to 30 guests, say “I do” at the bottom of 600 feet of natural rock and have a romantic celebration in undisturbed privacy. 

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is the place to come in Utah for couples wanting to focus on the natural landscapes and the secluded beauty without spending a fortune. There are multiple locations across the park to elope or get married with breathtaking views of the famous red rock.

At the park, they have dedicated wedding sites with a capacity of 10 to 100 people making it suitable for just about any couple’s needs. It would be pretty awesome to say you had your wedding in Utah’s most famous park! 

Whispering Oaks Ranch 

This family-owned property situated on 50 acres of private land is the ideal location for couples after spectacular mountain views on their day. Whispering Oak Ranch has views of canyonlands and is up 8,000ft on La Sal Mountain which means even in the summer, it doesn’t get overly hot. 

The Cedar Bend Lodge is perfect for those after a small celebration with 10 to 35 guests, but they can cater for larger parties too. You can walk down the aisle with views of the raw hilly mountains in the background and then take your elopement photographs in the luscious forest or row on one of their ponds for picturesque wedding photos at Whispering Oaks Ranch.  

Zion Red Rock

For a Zion Red Rock wedding, they have three private properties near the national park, suitable for weddings of any size. The Zion Red Rock Villa or Chalet is best for couples wanting smaller weddings whilst still incorporating Utah’s famous desert into their day. 

Both stunning and unique locations offer amazing views of the red peaks and desert that surround the properties! It’s great for an adventurous couple who wants to explore the area after their celebration as it’s so close to the national park. 

Wadley Farms 

Located on 23 acres of pristine gardens, vineyards, and orchards, here you can make your fairytale dreams into reality — they even have a castle! Wadley Farms has a few different wedding venue options, but the historic Railroad Building is great for couples with under 40 guests. 

From winding vineyards, and the pristine lawn to the charming buildings perched against the mountain landscapes that look straight out of a storybook, getting married here guarantees truly timeless and romantic wedding photos.  

The Lodge at Blue Sky

Known as a wellness retreat, The Lodge at the Blue Sky offers spectacular options for small wedding venues in Utah. Located on a 3,500-acre ranch with a stunning backdrop of mountain peaks, a forest, and secluded beauty, any couple would feel lucky to have their special day here!

They have a handful of different dedicated event spaces but The Yurt or The Tavern would be the ideal spaces for intimate weddings at The Lodge at Blue Sky.  These locations have a feel of modern elegance whilst being able to seamlessly connect with nature. 

Alta Peruvian Lodge

This ski lodge on the mountain has a warm vintage charm to it, but the main seller of this wedding venue is the view of Mount Superior. If you want to be wowed by nature, this is one of the best small wedding venues in Utah to consider. 

Situated 8,500 feet up the mountain, Alta Peruvian has views of jaw-dropping peaks as well as uninterrupted views of the landscape and forestry. Imagine an autumn wedding here with the dynamic backdrop combined with the vibrant yellowing trees — the photos would be insane!

Located in Garden City, this picturesque resort has amazing views of the blue waters of Bear Lake and is an excellent option for a laid-back wedding. 

Celebrate in the open fresh air with all your loved ones, make new memories, and get cozy by the campfire before sleeping in the luxurious tents that even your auntie who doesn’t like camping will enjoy!  

Lazalu 

Located on the edge of Zion National Park, Lazalu is one of the most beautiful intimate wedding venues in Utah. Enjoy the stay in solitude with views of the park and canyons and reconnect with nature. 

Having a sunset or sunrise wedding here would be a dream. Imagine the warm glow across the red rocks and the stunning wilderness — it would make for some epic Utah wedding photography! Don’t forget that it would also be an amazing location to stargaze too!

Log Haven 

Located in Millcreek Canyon, Log Haven has waterfalls, gorgeous wildflowers, a pristine lake, and a historic log mansion making it an idyllic location for a day full of romance. You can hold your wedding inside or outside, but the Library Suite is the perfect intimate space with views of the mountain for couples who want an indoor space. 

Get married by the lake surrounded by clean air, mountains, and trees – a scene that looks straight out of a fantasy film. Then use the 40 acres of private land full of amazing backdrops for your Log Haven wedding photographs.
