A private house on 160 acres in Grand Staircase–Escalante, with a 1,600 sq ft roof deck that looks out on cliffs, river valleys, and Boulder Mountain in every direction. You get the whole house for two nights: the night before to set up and settle in, and the night of the wedding.

What you bring in

- Tables, chairs, and linens
- Catering and bar
- Sound, lighting, and décor
- Portable restrooms for larger groups (the house has three bathrooms)
- Your officiant, photographer, and florist
