Are you recently engaged or almost engaged and starting to plan your wedding? Have you begun the search for the perfect wedding venue, and realized there are so many options out there and you don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’ve dreamed of having your wedding at River Bridge from the moment you set foot there during your friend’s wedding last year. Whatever the case, if you are planning your wedding in Utah County, River Bridge Event Center in Spanish Fork is one of my absolute favorite Utah County wedding venues, and here’s why.

Beautiful Location of River Bridge Event Center

River Bridge is located in Spanish Fork right off of Main Street. It’s surrounded by open fields, the prettiest mountains, and is in a quiet part of town. It’s only about 5 minutes from the freeway, too. It is a beautiful building with stunning outdoor and indoor areas. As a photographer, I appreciate a good spot to take photos, and River Bridge has so many!

Indoor and Outdoor Ceremony Options

One thing that I look for in a venue is an outdoor space and an indoor space that are both included in the venue rental. This is because if you are planning a summer wedding, you probably are considering an outdoor reception. But here in Utah the weather is always a guessing game. What if it rains? Well, that’s why you would want the indoor option as well. That way you can move indoors if you have to.

River Bridge Event Center has a beautiful interior with plenty of space for tables, dancing, and a ceremony. But, it also has a gorgeous yard with seating, a firepit, grass, and lots of beautiful landscaping. My favorite parts of the outdoor space are the dancing patio, and the covered patio that is perfect for outdoor ceremonies, no matter the weather.

I photographed and videoed a wedding last year where it was raining during the reception, but everyone stayed dry because of the covered patio. Perfect!!

Getting Ready Rooms

I’m a fan of huge bride’s rooms and groom’s rooms. There is plenty of space in each room to get ready with your whole bridal party, with mirrors and seating. There is also a beautiful family room in the middle of the groom’s room and the bride’s room that can be used as an additional getting ready space or hangout space.

The Main Room

The main area of River Bridge Event Center is white, is full of natural light from all of the windows, with beautiful doors and wall decor. The staircase up to the the bride’s room and groom’s room is also stunning! We did the bride’s bouquet toss from the loft area at the top of the stairs down to the bridesmaids and girls in the dancing area. Same thing for the garter toss.

River Bridge Event Center – your perfect wedding venue!

River Bridge Event Center is a beautiful modern and chic wedding venue in Utah County with both beautiful indoor and stunning outdoor areas. It’s the perfect venue for all seasons, and all wedding sizes. The friendly staff are great to work with! If you’re planning a wedding here, you won’t be disappointed!

If you’re still looking for a wedding photographer, I would love to work with you! River Bridge and my style of photography work really well together. 🙂 You can head over to my contact form. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
