About this venue

Since the 1920s, Memorial House has been a welcoming setting for weddings and receptions in the heart of Salt Lake City. Its timeless charm endures—an elegant hall filled with natural light, chandeliers, and a cozy fireplace, all nestled within the gardens and monuments of Memory Grove Park. Just minutes from downtown yet tucked away in City Creek Canyon, Memorial House offers a peaceful, romantic backdrop for your wedding day. The interior is available year-round, providing a beautiful setting in any season. During the warmer months, couples may also choose to hold their ceremony outdoors in Memory Grove Park. Popular locations include the South Lawn at Memorial House, the Meditation Chapel, the White Monument, and the Fountain Area. Our venue offers flexibility and peace of mind—if weather impacts your outdoor plans, the Main Hall can seamlessly transition into a stunning indoor ceremony space.

    A Magical Wedding

    Memorial House was the perfect venue for our special day. The staff were accommodating and attentive, Rachel and her team were amazing to work with throughout the process. The fountain area where we held our ceremony was so beautiful, and the inside of Memorial House was elegant and charming, and everything was set up perfectly for us. I'm so glad we decided to book this venue!

    Rachel Kelly•Jun 24, 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that you enjoyed your special day at our venue, and that you appreciated all our staff does to make sure your event is seamless. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

    Great venue

    We loved having our wedding ceremony at the beautiful Memorial House at Memory Grove Park. The historic house and surrounding gardens created a charming backdrop for our special day. Throughout the planning process, the venue coordinator was very responsive over email and helped us finalize all the details. On the big day, everything ran smoothly thanks to their professionalism in keeping the event on schedule. Our guests raved about the lovely setting. We would highly recommend Memorial House to other couples looking for an intimate ceremony site with classic architecture and greenery.

    Great Venue

    The memorial house has great staff, who are all kind and work hard. It was a great wedding venue, the building itself is so nice we didn’t need to do much decorating.
