How to Plan and Design a Wedding at La Caille in Sandy, Utah

A just-for-you guide from the preferred planner who knows this place like the back of our hand

La Caille is one of the most iconic venues in Utah. Nestled at the base of the canyon with its vineyards, gardens, and French-inspired architecture, it feels like a destination wedding without ever leaving the valley. But as magical as it is, planning a wedding here takes strategy, vision, and experience with the property itself.

As the preferred planner at La Caille, we’ve produced more weddings here than we can count—and no two have ever looked or felt the same. If you are planning a wedding or event at La Caille, you are required to have a planner. And if you want one who knows every angle, rigging point, and floor plan inside and out, you’re in the right place.

Know the Layout and Use It Fully

La Caille gives you more than just a ceremony lawn and reception room. You have the entire estate to play with. From the vineyard views to the greenhouse to the stunning courtyard spaces, there is no need to stay basic.

Use the lawn for something more than just ceremony. Flip it for a sunset cocktail hour. Bring in a tent for dancing under the stars. We have even placed a full stage in the pond for a live string quartet. Nothing cookie-cutter here. If you can dream it, we can map it.

Understand the Rain Plan for Your Guest Count

Let’s be real. Weather happens. And La Caille is gorgeous year-round, but you need to be prepared. There are different indoor options depending on your guest count, but not all of them feel the same. You need someone who can walk you through what your real rain plan feels like so that nothing about your day is compromised.

We always have a solid backup plan that still protects the design and the guest experience. No one wants their ceremony squeezed indoors last-minute without a plan that still feels intentional. We make sure that never happens.

Design Boldly, But Thoughtfully

La Caille already gives you character. You do not need to overcompensate with decor. What you should do is amplify the magic that’s already there. We have done everything from garden glam to moody romantic to modern minimal. It all works—when it’s done with intention.

We know the rigging points and weight limits for ceiling installations. If you want a floral chandelier or dramatic draping, we can tell you exactly where and how it can be done safely. If you want to hang candles, build a stage, or float florals over your head table, we know how to make it work within the structure.

Do Not Forget the Chateau and Lounge Spaces

The Chateau on property is one of La Caille’s best-kept secrets. It is perfect for welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or even post-wedding brunches. You can host your entire wedding weekend here and give your guests a complete experience without ever leaving the property.

There’s also a hidden gem in the lounge and new bar area. You can actually have an after party right there on site. No buses. No extra rentals. Just great cocktails and a seamless way to keep the night going.

We Are Just Around the Corner

One of the reasons our weddings at La Caille run so smoothly is because our office is just 15 minutes from the venue. That gives our team prime access to the property anytime. Site visits, drop-offs, early setups, late-night walkthroughs—we’re there in a flash and ready to go. That proximity means we know the ins and outs of this venue better than anyone and can handle every moving piece with ease.

La Caille is a Full Weekend Experience

Beyond the wedding itself, your guests can dine at the on-site restaurant, stay on property, and take in the views. You can make this a full wedding weekend that feels thoughtful, elevated, and immersive. The key is planning early and designing with purpose.

Every La Caille wedding we do is different because every couple is different. Your vision matters most. We build everything around that and make sure the logistics are not just solved, but perfected. Because that’s what makes it unforgettable.
