Preparation List

Wedding Reservation timeframes are rented from 9 am to 10pm. Your confirmation receipt will show the timeframe you have booked. Early entry at 7 am can be purchased. If you would like this option and do not currently have it, please contact Tarah at 801-624-0585.

We do not offer times to come in earlier than 7am or to stay later than 10pm. Some of our weddings are back to back. In order to get everything in perfect condition for each bride we work overnight to prep the area. This is why we must stick to the scheduled reservation times.

If payment is submitted on the website for the cleaning fee, we will send an emailed invoice through square with the following payment plan:

• 50% due within 7 days of booking
• The remainder split into monthly installments with the final due two weeks before event date.

Options for payment are credit/debit card but processing fees apply, Zelle bank transfer or check.

If the bowery has not been booked by groups within 45 days of the event we discount the price in half. It works out to be $100/hr with a minimum of two-hour rental timeframe. This is a guaranteed way to host a rehearsal dinner/walk through.

If it is not reserved and not booked within a week of the date, you can contact Tarah to see if you are able to come visit the area during that time. Often times, it works out great to do that. However, we also use the unused/unbooked times for updates to the area. So if we use that time for scheduled maintenance then it will be closed to all parties.

If you are looking for a scheduled time, to host a formal sit down rehearsal, I would recommend booking the at the $100/hr timeframe.

The cancellation policy is as follows:

• Over 90 days: 90% refund
• 45-90 days: 50% refund
• Less than 45 days- No refund.

Reschedule Fee:

• Over 45 days: No fee
• 14-45 days: $200 fee
• Less than 14 days-$500

Weather Clause:

• Please note that weather conditions do not influence the cancellation policy. All cancellations must adhere to the terms outlined above, regardless of weather circumstances.

Absolutely! Here is a booking link you can select times to either have a tour or simply access to see the venue with your own guests. https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/coldspringstroutfarm/items/523124/calendar/2025/12/?flow=19558&language=en-us&full-items=yes&back=https://coldspringstroutfarm.com/activities/weddings/

This is an easy way to determine times where the venue is available and unscheduled. Showing up during business hours  without a tour time, does not guarantee that the venue is available for touring. Please reach out if there is a time you are curious about but do not see available.

Absolutely! The sooner the better so there is no fee. You can switch it anytime within the same season. If you are wanting to reschedule to another year’s season, the cost difference between season to season would be in addition to this fee.

• Over 45 days: No fee
• 14-45 days: $200 fee
• Less than 14 days-$500

Peak Mosquito season is late July to August. I personally do not feel them often at the farm so I have never considered it bad in the slightest. However, I know certain people are more affected by mosquitos so when I have not received any bites somebody else has. For that reason, if you are nervous, I have seen people bring small cans for guests to use with a sign that says, ‘Get smitten, not bitten” . This is nice for guests who may be more sensitive. Not necessary, but helpful. Citronella scented items may also help.

There are two immediate barrels right at the entrance. Those two barrels remain there. They are decorative but not stable enough to be moved from their locations.

Additional barrels can be rented. Check out our preferred vendor’s page for referrals!

The arch is made out of 8” beams. It measure 9’9” tall and 14’ 10” wide.

Glad you asked! Here is a link to previous weddings:

We include:

• A large volleyball court
• Grassy Area
• Gazebo
• Covered Bowery and Walkway
• Open, decorative cement floor with a stage and fireplace.

Available for your use, although not exclusively reserved for your party:

• Two parking lots
• Restrooms
• Fishing Grounds

Other guests are generally on the farm between the hours of 10am-7pm.

They are NOT allowed to come to the venue but are able to have access to the fishing grounds, restrooms and parking lot.

There are many beautiful options to host your ceremony at our farm.

On the cement dance floor, if facing the stage, I have seen ceremonies up to 150 people and if facing the fireplace, up to 170 people.

On the grassy area, with the mountain view, I have seen ceremonies up to 260+ people. For larger crowds this would be my recommendation.

If the backdrop is the gazebo, I have seen up to 120 people in this location.

The sky is the limit for where you can hold the ceremony. These are the 4 most chosen areas and their respective holding capacities.

If using our chairs, we will set them up in their initial location prior to your arrival and take them down at the end of the day.

If they need to be moved from the ceremony to tables afterward, we leave this to your party. Often the officiator will be asked to announce this to the guest after the ceremony or time is scheduled in between to give the party planners time to make the switch.

The venue and grounds are mostly flat grassy areas, cement, and all bridges and access ways including restrooms are wheelchair accessible. The upper parking lot is gravel. The lower parking lot is paved. Many guests come who are in wheelchairs to our venue.

Yes! We have many shade trees throughout our venue. Depending on time of day and year, the shade changes. The areas to first shade is between the north end of the bowery to the gazebo. Second, the large grassy area between the east wall of the bowery and volleyball court. Third is a tie between the volleyball court and dance floor.

Yes! Once guests enter the farm gates we have two A-frame signs to help direct guests to the upper lot and a couple of 8″ x 11″ standing signs. You are welcome to tie balloons to these if you would like a visual signal for your party to follow as well. On the public roads we have two signs that are permanent as well. You are welcome to tie balloons to these signs for guests to help follow. According to city regulation, they need to be removed by end of day on the public roads.

80-100 cars can park in each lot, about 200 cars on average.

You can find a current list of all of our rentals at: https://coldspringstroutfarm.com/party-rentals/

These items are available for rent and not included in the standard rental. Clicking on the item will show pricing, dimensions and more info!

We do not provide tablecloths, the individuals responsible for the party will want to bring them. Our tables are 5′ in diameter (qty 10) and 6′ long(qty 4). 120″ round tablecloths reach the floor. Many times it is wise to order a few extra in case of spilling or purchase plastic clear round tablecloths to cover the linens during the reception.

We provide the 4′ long box with the fuel, white dishes, and mason jars to put on the end of the row.

You’ll want to provide: food, skewers, plates, napkins, etc.

We place one box per serving table. So, if you are using all four boxes you will want to account for their using all four serving tables. We generally place 5 white dishes per side of each box, if serving down both sides.

We do not provide linens. We will do initial setup and take down of these items.

We have additionally 60 more lifetime chairs available for rent and 104 white wood chairs.

Altogether at a ceremony, we can seat with our chairs 264 people. There is additional space still if more chairs were brought in. However, the ceremony location would need to be the large grassy area between the east wall of the bowery and volleyball court.

We have 5 more additional round tables, 8-8′ serving tables, 3-6′ serving tables, and 12 or so picnic tables with the benches attached. They styles of tables would be different but we could use each of these items to have all guests sitting at one time.

You are more than welcome to bring in additional items. I have seen as many as 300 people sitting at an event at one time for our venue. (Not a limit, just what I have seen)

We do! We setup everything that we provide so long as the above printable layout is filled in and given to us prior to setup time. We will also take down the items at the end of the night!

Yes! Each red lightening bolt symbol on the site map refers to a 110 v electrical outlet. These outlets can handle up to 10-15 amps. Some of them are on the same circuits and some are on there own. If you have items requiring large amounts of power the north center post of the bowery can hold 20 amps per side. This is where you would want to plug large items in too.

This map is detailed of differing electrical outlets by color. Each color is its own circuit meaning that at each colorful station combined should have 10-15 amps. Where we plug in lights we will need to account for about 2 amps. On the black station it is on its own panel and each side is its own circuit of up to 20 amps. So at that specific station combined is 40 amps.

NEW: 

Along with the above map, we have added more power! It is located in the bowery, so you will now have an additional 9 spots spaced evenly in the ceiling. We have also added to the back wall at plug in height for the tables and additional 2 spots with a 20 amp circuit for heating or cooling items.

Yes! We have bathrooms with two unisex rooms located by the main fish building. They are wheelchair accessible.

Yes! This beautiful trailer is up and going! It doesn’t have a running water connection or bathroom. It is for getting ready. It has electrical hookups. You can run up to 10 amps of electricity in here.

Yes! We do recommend it run off its own generator though, provided by your party.

Yes! We provide 3  garbage cans with their liners. We do ask you take all garbage to the dumpster by the end of the night. The dumpster is located on the back access road behind the Bowery. This is part of the cleaning requirement. Garbage not taken to the dumpster will affect your refund amount.

Yes, however, it may be used for minimal things like filling water vases etc. It could not be left running continuously. It is located on the south end of the volleyball court.

We recommend food trucks bring in their own generator. Caterers will often bring in pre-made food but if they intent to bring in a setup to cook here they will want to follow the above power map to determine if there is sufficient power for their needs. It is highly encouraged you have them reach out to us well in advance to the event date to coordinate their setup.

We have LED lighting above the Bowery, Walkway Cement dance floor, around the gazebo and along the fence line from the bowery to the gazebo and from the gazebo to the parking lot. The lower parking lot has a solar light above it as well. Any additional lighting desired will want to be brought in.

No, unless our alcohol policy is agreed too and signed.

Here is our Alcohol Policy. All steps must be followed to be able to serve alcohol at our venue. If Alcohol is brought in when the contract has NOT been signed or agreed upon, there is a $1,000 fee.

9 am!

Gates close at 10pm!

We do not allow open flame. Battery operated is great! We do allow floating candles. We do also allow chafing fuel.

Absolutely! If you have questions about a specific place let us know! Hanging from lights, cables or lights strands would not be allowed.

Our current pet policy is that they remain leashed the entire time and are cleaned up after. If you are okay to do so, then they are welcome.

Absolutely! We do recommend parental supervision while on the grounds and around water.

We’d love for them to enjoy the main fishing grounds as well as the venue!

As indicated on your layout submission, we will setup all items provided by us in their initial starting position. We will have staff in our main building. If you have questions day of, they are a great resource to ask questions too. I.e. if you run out of garbage bags, they will replenish your amount.

We do not, setup your decor items, take down your items, officiate etc.

Our gates open at 9 am and close at 10pm. You will have access to the venue during this time. As the venue is closed at 10pm, we recommend setting your event end time no later than 9:30pm to ensure all guests are out by 10pm.

Worried about weather? Please reach out to us!

If heavier rain is forecasted, we can reach out to all affected couples and determine if you would like to co-rent a canopy to split the cost cheaper. Places like Sunny Side Rentals will charge one amount for 3 days so it can help split up the price. (We have barrels on hand that can be used to help secure the tent and lower your rental cost as well.)

For light is rain is forecasted, we do have cute, clear umbrellas that can be used by guests to get back and forth between restrooms and enjoying the grounds.

For wind, we can setup a wall on the east end of the bowery to help protect decorations and tablecloths. Velcro dots help hold frames on to easels. We would also recommend removing glass from your frames to prevent glass breaking during your event. We do have secondary water on hand to help fill vases more full if the weight is needed.

For heat, I would recommend looking up the North Ogden Weather history page for your date. As you scroll down it will give an average of heat throughout the day. Months ahead of time, you can see what the average warmest time of day is. For late June to August, I would recommend knowing this information early on.  Scheduling events in cooler times is an easy way to help manage guests experience. There is plenty of shade as the evening progresses as well. We can help give tips for cooler areas to hold ceremonies. I have also seen guests bring in mini fans for guests that say, “So you don’t get hot while we tie the knot!” We have installed a misting system along the east and north ceiling of the bowery that can be used periodically. Decorations and equipment would need to be clear of these areas as it can put out quite a bit of water if left on for longer periods of time. Let us know ahead of time if you are interested in the amenities.

9 am

We ask you take out:

• garbage
• all items brought in by your party.
• leave our items in place and undamaged.

We will take down all our items.

We will be there upon arrival at 9 am to ensure everything looks good for you. We will then leave a radio in the prep area for the ability to ask questions whenever you need! We will be available throughout the day for those questions! We will be back up to take our stuff down at the end of the night.
