If we choose the one day rental option, will we be able to access the location early to rehearse our ceremony?
If you choose the one day rental, our venue will likely be reserved by another couple the night before. For that reason, one day rentals should plan for an offsite rehearsal. You are also welcome to to bring anyone who would feel more comfortable understanding the venue (such as your DJ, minister, or wedding party) to one of our monthly open houses.
Can we have fireworks on the property?
Fireworks except for sparklers are not permitted in or outside of the property. Sparklers are only allowed outside the property, with prior consent for our management. The reason for this is as you may (or may not know) Uintah is surrounded by mountains with quite a bit of trees foliage. We cannot predict our weather, and to be proactive in preventing fires, we cannot allow any sort of fireworks.

No vehicles can be left overnight. Please advise your guests of this policy.
What time does the music need to end?

All deliveries must happen during the standard rental period. Please advise your vendors of this policy.
