Our newest venue in Utah County is the Sleepy Ridge Golf Club and Event Center. We have never had a venue like this in the Provo/Orem area and it is absolutely stunning! The exterior has the look of "Old World" elegance with a touch of modern design. The same feeling is carried through the building with its elegant appointments and furnishings. The 3rd Floor Sunset room is the largest room seating 250 guests for a formal dinner or 800 for a reception style event. The 1st Floor Garden room is more casual but still maintains the upscale feel of the rest of the building. I love how this room flows out to the patio for ceremonies or English Tea. This room seats 180 with a reception capacity of 500. There are no limits to the number of guests or imagination of themes if the entire venue is rented utilizing all the event spaces. Sleepy Ridge offers the complete package for weddings, corporate events, golf tournaments, and more. Two thumbs way up on this amazing venue!
