Please note that the use of the grounds and facilities for wedding receptions is currently limited to persons who meet the following requirements: the bride or groom is a current member or the daughter/son of a current Bonneville Stake member, confirmed by the bishop of their respective ward at the time of making the reservation and prior to the reception date.

The grounds may be used for wedding receptions Thursdays between June 16 – August 22, 2025 . Use of the premises is subject to the use guidelines outlined herein. Please note that only the grounds and Carriage House are available except in the event of inclement weather. For available dates, please see　Availability & Scheduling　below.

Those attending events on the grounds or in Church facilities must observe standards of behavior appropriate to Church-owned properties as determined by us in our discretion. Participants who fail to do so may be asked to leave the premises.

Without limiting the foregoing, those who have reserved use of the premises (e.g., members of a wedding party) and their invitees (e.g., guests and service personnel) must (i) respect the nature of the premises as a church site and those living within the neighborhood and (ii) observe the following additional requirements:

• Hours:　 reception activities must cease at 9 p.m. with the property cleaned and returned on an "as was, where was" basis, with all participants and suppliers/contractors off the grounds, by 10:30 p.m. (i.e., gates will be locked at 10:30 p.m.).
• Damages Deposit: a $1,500.00 deposit is due at the time of making the reservation and signing the use acknowledgment. Costs to repair, restore or clean grounds and facilities will be deducted with the balance, if any, returned. Garden Park Ward’s assessment of costs incurred is binding absent manifest error.
• Music: no electronically amplified music is permitted (e.g., no DJ’s or digital music delivery). Microphones and sound systems for spoken communication is permitted, but must be maintained within then-applicable city sound restrictions, which are currently < 50 dbs at property line.
• Dance Floors: installation of dance floors on the premises is not permitted.
• Decorations:
  • No wax candles or open flames (e.g., torches, fires) are permitted on the premises. Battery powered lights, candles, lanterns are permissible.
  • No decorations of any kind (e.g., lighting, décor, signs, photos, wreaths, etc.) may be attached to buildings, walls or fences. No nails, adhesives, or hooks may be used to affix objects to trees or lampposts. Easels are permitted, as is stringing objects over branches or around trunks.
  • No sparklers or fireworks, no airborne confetti, rice, glitter, artificial or natural flower petals, or the like.
• Use of Tables, Chairs & Pianos: only tables and chairs located in the Carriage House may be used. Pianos may not be relocated from their current locations for use at a reception.
• Power Source and Use: the electrical outlets located in lampposts are the only acceptable source of power for activities on the grounds (i.e., you may not run extension cords from the Carriage House or ward building). You are responsible for monitoring power load to avoid overloading a circuit breaker. It may not be possible to reset a breaker during an event.
• Miscellaneous:
  • No vehicles may be parked on or driven across lawns.
  • Suppliers/contractors (including, e.g., caterers, tent or chair rentals, lighting installation) may only access the property on the day of the event.
  • Before leaving, all trash must be picked up from the grounds, trash removed from Carriage House, trash bags deposited in trash bin (located in parking lot), Carriage House floors vacuumed or mopped (kitchen), and counter tops cleaned.
  • Main ward building, including kitchen and bathrooms, may not be used except in the event of inclement weather.
