Engaged Over the Holidays? Here’s Your Wedding Planning Checklist 

Before touring venues or booking vendors, take time to talk through your overall wedding vision. Ask yourselves: 

• Do you want an indoor, outdoor, or indoor-outdoor wedding? 

• Are you dreaming of something elegant, garden-inspired, modern, or classic? 

• What season feels right for your wedding? 

Once your vision is clear, create a realistic wedding budget. Knowing your budget early helps narrow venue options and keeps planning on track from the start. 

Wedding venues book quickly—especially for spring, summer, and fall dates. One of the biggest advantages of choosing a venue like Thanksgiving Point is variety. Couples can choose from beautiful indoor and outdoor wedding venues all in one location, making it easy to find a space that matches your vision. 

From lush gardens to elegant indoor reception spaces, Thanksgiving Point wedding venues offer flexibility for any season and weather, which is especially helpful for Utah weddings.

One of the most stressful parts of wedding planning is coordinating food vendors—but it doesn’t have to be. Thanksgiving Point Weddings offers on-site catering, which means: 

• No searching for outside caterers 

• Menus designed specifically for the venue 

• A seamless experience on your wedding day 

From plated dinners to buffet options, on-site catering helps streamline planning while still delivering a high-quality dining experience your guests will love. 

Florals bring your wedding vision to life—and working with an on-site floral team makes the process easier and more cohesive. Thanksgiving Point’s floral experts understand the venues, layouts, and seasonal blooms, allowing them to design florals that perfectly complement your space. 

Benefits of on-site wedding florals include: 

• Custom designs tailored to your venue 

• Fewer vendors to manage 

• A cohesive look from ceremony to reception 

This is especially helpful for couples planning from out of state or juggling busy schedules. 

After your venue is secured, focus on booking your top vendors: 

• Photographer & videographer 

• DJ or live music 

• Officiant 

• Rentals (if needed) 

Choosing a venue that offers multiple services in-house—like catering and florals—means fewer vendors to coordinate and more time to enjoy being engaged. 

Seeing a venue in person is one of the most exciting steps in wedding planning. Touring Thanksgiving Point wedding venues allows you to: 

• Walk through the ceremony and reception spaces 

• Visualize your wedding day 

• Meet with an experienced wedding team who can answer questions and guide your planning 

A venue tour helps turn your holiday engagement excitement into a clear, confident plan.
