A Look Inside the Barn

When you arrive at River Bottoms Ranch, the first thing you will notice is the modern farmhouse style barn and the land surrounding it. To understand just how fantastic the barn really is, you should know some of what went into its design. The entire building was very well thought out. Before the plans were drawn up, Janica and Jared reached out to some of the wedding industry's best vendors to get their opinions about the best ways things should be designed. On top of that, the owners also did light studies on the building to determine how the light would come in based on where they placed the windows. Everything was well thought out and as photographers we were blown away by their intentionality and care in so many aspects.

Bridal and Groom Suites

Oftentimes the groom's space is something that is put aside or not really paid attention to when designing wedding venues. That is not the case here at RBR! The groom's room is filled with windows for natural light, a bar space and TV for the guys to hang out and watch the game before the event begins. One of the most ingenious parts of the groom's room is that later in the day it transforms into a bar, dessert, or water station.

The Bridal Suite is one not to be overlooked as well and really deserves its own paragraph! The views of the Wasatch Mountains, and modern farmhouse decor make it elegant and also so cozy. The full bathroom with shower and tub just add a little something extra and so does the large vanity space that is available for your bridesmaids to use to get ready.

Outdoor Pavilion and Ceremony Site

The outdoor ceremony site is in a word, breathtaking. It is gorgeous in any season meaning that summer and fall weddings look just as pretty as weddings in the winter snow. The ceremony site even faces south to ensure shadows fall in the best places! While facing south, the backdrop provides views of the pond, fields, and Mount Timpanogos in the distance. It's no wonder that couples come from all over the country to say their vows at River Bottoms Ranch! In case of bad weather, RBR also has plans for a backup ceremony location inside of the barn or under the pavilion, which are also beautiful locations.

The outdoor pavilion is a brand new addition to the property. It is a wonderful place to provide extra space for guests to spread out throughout the day and to provide shade.

View of the Grounds

The land surrounding River Bottoms Ranch is one of the standout parts of the property and makes for incredible wedding day portraits that you will be so proud to display in your home. The Provo River runs through their property and connects with a pond (that is a part of your ceremony backdrop!) that is stocked with fresh fish. Do you see yourself spending time in a canoe, or fishing on your wedding day? This is the place to do just that! The views of Mount Timpanogos are just an extra perk!

How to Make Your Day Unique!

Have you or your fiance ever dreamed about fishing the morning before your wedding day? The pond at River Bottoms Ranch allows you that opportunity. Fishing on the pond, is "catch & release," so you can only use artificial lures and only barbless hooks are allowed. To make it a full experience RBR also has connections to some incredible outdoor outfitters that could be brought onsite to assist and make fishing a fun event for all.

In addition to fishing on the pond, you are welcome to bring your own canoe(s) for incredible photos on the water, and to add to the experience.
