Memorial House is open for events any day of the week; typical rental times are 9 am - 2 pm or 3 pm - 10 pm. (4pm - 11pm is available for Fridays & Saturday only, no exceptions)

Additional hours may be added to the end of our morning rentals or before our afternoon rentals, subject to availability, for a fee. All events must conclude promptly at the agreed-upon end time.

The rental period for your event includes all setup and takedown of personal items and vendor rentals.

At Memorial House, our venue staff and coordinators are here to support your event by managing all venue-related responsibilities. However, we do not provide wedding planning or day-of coordination services. If you're looking for someone to oversee your event timeline, manage décor details, or handle any last-minute adjustments, we strongly recommend hiring a professional planner or coordinator.

A dedicated planner will be familiar with your overall vision and preferences, and we’ll work closely behind the scenes with them to ensure your event runs smoothly.

Here are some examples of things you will see the venue staff taking care of on your event date:

• Ensuring the venue is set up and ready before your arrival

• Monitor the park gate at the start of your event to greet early arrivals and vendors

• Greeting vendors and reviewing facility logistics with them

• Setting up and tearing down the outdoor ceremony space

• Flipping the main hall between the ceremony and reception setups, if needed

• Placing tablecloths on reception tables and adding or removing tables as needed

• Relocating the head table after an indoor ceremony

• Adjusting heating or A/C

• Shoveling snow, salting walkways, or sweeping the patio

• Monitoring restrooms and replenishing supplies

• Assisting with any on-site issues, such as plumbing or weather-related concerns

• Checking in with catering, DJs, vendors, bar service, etc.

• Being present to assist your planner/coordinator with any questions

• Reviewing emergency plans with vendors or family, if needed

For the comfort and safety of your guests, we ask that you do not exceed 300 people for a free-flowing style reception. We can accommodate up to 150 people seated in our Main Hall.

Parking for Memorial House guests is available on the street within Memory Grove Park, accommodating about 140+ cars. As part of your rental, all guests are allowed entrance into the security gate to park vehicles inside Memory Grove Park. In the rare event that an overflow lot is needed, guests will be directed to East Capitol Boulevard and directly connected to the park by the Rotary Steps. No cars can be left overnight, or they will be towed.

All events must conclude promptly at the agreed-upon end time. All guests, vendors, vehicles, décor, and personal items must be fully removed from Memorial House property no later than the contracted end time, or a fee will be incurred.

The rental period for your event is stated in the contract and includes all setup and takedown of personal items and vendor rentals. Access to Memorial House is not permitted for renters, guests, vendors, or deliveries prior to the contracted start time unless explicitly approved in writing by Memorial House. This includes, but is not limited to, event rentals, décor, catering staff, and other service providers.

Additional fees may apply for early access or late departure.

Yes. Memorial House is fully ADA accessible, with designated accessible parking, a ramped entrance, and barrier-free access throughout the venue. All event spaces—including the Main Hall, Garden Room, and outdoor areas such as the South Lawn, Fountain Area, White Monument, and Meditation Chapel—are accessible for guests of all abilities.

Because of the unique historic nature of Memorial House, our main hall does not have a built-in speaker system. However, we do offer a simple and effective AV setup to support your event needs. To learn more about our event services - Click Here

Our venue staff will take care of cleaning our venue and packing up all venue-provided tables, chairs, and linens. Food-related cleanup—such as bussing tables, tidying the food area, and taking out trash—must be handled by your caterer. If the caterer does not provide this service, the renter will be responsible for those tasks. This is why we strongly recommend hiring a full-service caterer so you can relax and enjoy your event.

All décor and personal items brought in must be removed from the venue by the end of your rental period. We do not offer next-day pickup.

Rehearsals are not included with your rental at Memorial House. During the week of your event, we may be able to accommodate a brief rehearsal by appointment, subject to availability and during our regular business hours.

If your ceremony will take place in the park, you are welcome to hold your rehearsal at any time during the park’s public hours. Please note that we do not provide assistance for park rehearsals, and access to the building will not be granted for this purpose.

Email is our preferred method of communication. Please email memorialhouse@preservationutah.org if you have any additional questions!
