We here at Culinary Crafts are always looking for new and outstanding places to include on our venue list and today I’d like to showcase our newest addition:  Blue Sky Ranch!  Kaleb, Mary, Rachel, and Ryan took a trip up there and here’s what Rachel had to say:

“We had the opportunity to visit a brand new venue just recently.  Blue Sky Ranch features a hilltop yurt, a pond, horseback riding and hiking trails, a horse arena, and a cabin bar on top of a mountain!  Not only is it perfect for company retreats and team building exercises, the arena can seat up to 400 guests to accommodate a wedding or a holiday dinner.  Check out these photos from our visit.  We love Blue Sky and cannot wait to begin hosting events there…”

Here are some photos:

Ryan, Mary, Rachel, and Kaleb standing in front the rowing pond, just beyond the Yurt.  So picturesque!

Gorgeous scenery and the Yurt.  The Yurt can host up to 30 guests for a company meeting or intimate dinner.  How fun!

What a unique place!  This is the mountain top bar, all within this rustic cabin.

Aren’t the horses beautiful?  Horseback trail rides are available!

This is the view from the mountain top bar area.  I wouldn’t mind hanging out there all day!  Lucky Mary!

This is the horse arena…  Its still in it’s construction phase, but what a fantastic place for large events!  We can’t wait to start hosting events here…

Simply GORGEOUS!  What an amazing and incredible venue and we are so proud to partner with them!

Hi Everyone!  I am so excited to announce that we’ve been asked to guest blog over at the wonderful Utah Bride Blog and our post is up!  Go check it out here.  I think all of you will find that it’s quite sweet….

Since we’re in the middle of wedding season, I thought to post some indoor venue options that are off the beaten path.  Yes, there are gorgeous garden venues such as Red Butte Gardens, McCune Mansion, and Rose Sachs Gardens that blow me away with their gorgeous settings, but, these next few are just a bit different for the more eclectic brides or the brides looking for some different details in their wedding….This is a recent wedding at The Salt Lake Library.  Not only is it a really cool architectural space, but you can have a lot of fun naming your tables after authors and tying the books and bookshelves into your wedding.

This is the Black box at the Utah Opera House.  It is a blank canvas which,enhanced by lighting, becomes a chic and sophisticated venue for those who are interested in the Dramatic.

This is Rice Eccles Stadium and whether your a Ute or a Cougar, nothing competes with these views!

This is the Salt Lake Hardware building and one of Salt Lake’s hidden treasures. It’s a delicate mix of industrial and sophisticated with it’s great history and modern renovations.

Culinary Crafts recently participated in Big Brothers Big Sisters’ annual fundraising event Chef and a Child with a live action station.  As one of more than a dozen action stations, we were so excited to stand shoulder to shoulder with other talented chefs from throughout the Salt Lake culinary community. With such a deep-rooted network in Utah, 25 years in the making, Culinary Crafts always takes pleasure in joining in events that benefit our community and work to improve life in Utah.  It was an evening filled with enthusiasm for great food and for giving back to the community. Our contribution, one of only a handful desserts that evening, was big hit! Who could resist our dessert library filled with  chocolate passion fruit creme brulee served on a caramelized cocoa nib tuile and garnished with passion fruit meringue?!
