The Amazing Orangerie Wedding Venue

If you’re wanting to have your wedding at the largest botanical garden in the Intermountain West, the Orangerie is your place. This wedding venue is stunning. An Orangerie wedding is a great idea for multiple reasons. If you’re an outdoor lover or a plant lover, you’ll fall in love with the Orangerie at Red Butte Garden. Lots of plant collections (obviously), display gardens and 450,000 springtime blooming bulbs makes this wedding venue a lovely floral paradise in Salt Lake City. Your Orangerie wedding will take place in a spacious indoor garden, with the feel of alfresco with none of the weather worries. Exotic flowering plants, as well as citrus trees and lush exotic plants, are framed by mountain and valley views, making the indoor Orangerie a beautifully scenic and seasonally dependable location for a fantasy wedding. During splendid, sunny weather, it is a bright, storybook garden. When it rains, it appears even more magical as raindrops hit the glass walls and add a mood to the soft, romantic glow of the indoor lights. Can you tell I love this venue?!
