It is standard practice for wedding venues in Salt Lake City to reserve only one available event date usually for three business days. Often the wedding venue will not require a deposit or contract to reserve the date. However, at the end of the three day time period, if no action has been taken by the event party the date will then be re-released by the wedding venue. This type of courtesy hold can usually only be placed on only one date at a time for any particular wedding party.
Prices will vary greatly depending on the wedding venue. Very generally, however, expect to pay at least $500 in the form of a deposit along with a signed rental contract. Typically this paid deposit will be applied towards the final bill after the wedding has been celebrated.
Many wedding venues in Salt Lake City will require payment in full sometimes two weeks prior to the actual date of the event. At that time the venue will typically expect an itemized invoice from the responsible party that outlines all the services expected to be provided by the venue during the event. If a payment is not made two weeks prior to the event the responsible party may be subject to a late fee by as much as $50 or more. A wedding venue may refuse to hold an event if payment is not made on time.
In the event a wedding is canceled the wedding venue will usually require a written notice. Refunds may be provided depending on how much advance notice the wedding venue receives. For example, if the wedding venue receives a cancellation 90 days or more before the event a partial refund is usually made to the responsible party. However, refunds typically are not paid to the responsible party if the event is canceled less than 90 days before the event.
