Introducing The Kinlands Farm: Your Dream Micro Wedding Venue

A Dream Utah Small Wedding Venue for Intimate Celebrations

There are venues that are beautiful… and then there are venues that feel like a storybook. The Kinlands is absolutely the latter.

I’ve photographed an intimate wedding at The Kinlands, and I remember driving away thinking, this is exactly what a small wedding should feel like. Thoughtful. Romantic. Effortless. Intentional.

If you’re planning a Utah small wedding, Utah micro wedding, or intimate elopement and wondering whether this venue is right for you, here’s what I genuinely love about it — and what I think you should know before booking.

1. It Feels Like You’re in the English Countryside (Without Leaving Utah)

The first thing that struck me about The Kinlands was how transportive it feels. Tucked into Alpine, Utah, with mountain views in the distance, the property blends European garden charm with Utah’s natural beauty.

The ivy, the greenhouse, the manicured lawns, the stone pathways — it feels curated but not overdone. For couples searching for a Utah intimate wedding venue that doesn’t feel like a ballroom or a barn, this is such a refreshing alternative.

You don’t need heavy décor here. The venue carries the aesthetic.

2. It’s Perfectly Scaled for a Micro Wedding

This is not a 300-guest production venue — and that’s exactly why I love it.

The Kinlands is best suited for:

• 20–75 guests
• Micro weddings
• Intimate family gatherings
• Elopements with a small guest list

When I photographed a wedding here, the guest list was small enough that the couple could truly spend time with every person. No rushing. No overwhelming timeline. Just connection.

If you’re planning a Utah micro wedding and want your day to feel close-knit rather than chaotic, this venue makes that possible.

3. The Light Is Absolutely Beautiful

As a photographer, light matters so much. And The Kinlands has this soft, flattering light that wraps around the gardens in the late afternoon.

The greenhouse glows. The lawns soften. The mountains catch that warm golden hue.

For couples who care about timeless, romantic images, this is one of those venues that photographs beautifully without needing dramatic backdrops or production lighting.

If you’re booking The Kinlands for a small wedding in Utah, I highly recommend planning your ceremony closer to golden hour. It transforms the space.

4. The Greenhouse Is a Hidden Gem

One of my favorite parts of the property is the greenhouse. It’s intimate and layered with texture. It feels cozy but elevated.

For:

• Couple portraits
• Cocktail hour
• Small dinner receptions
• Private vow readings

It creates this charming European feel that you rarely find in Utah wedding venues.

It’s also an incredible backup option if weather shifts unexpectedly — which, in Utah, is always something to plan for.

5. It Encourages Thoughtful, Intentional Design

Because The Kinlands is not all-inclusive, couples bring in their own vendors. And honestly? I love that.

It means you can curate your:

• Caterer
• Florist
• Rentals
• Planner
• Design vision

This venue shines when paired with:

• Garden-inspired florals
• Neutral, romantic color palettes
• Long tables for intimate dinners
• Soft candlelight

If you’re someone who loves design but doesn’t want a massive production, this venue gives you creative flexibility on a smaller scale.

What You Should Know Before Booking

Guest Capacity
The Kinlands Farm typically accommodates intimate weddings best under 75 guests. It can stretch slightly depending on layout, but it’s meant to feel cozy, not packed.

Pricing
Rental pricing varies by season and day, but typically starts in the mid four-figure range and increases based on timing and event needs.

It is not all-inclusive. You’ll need to bring in your vendor team. I highly recommend hiring at least a day-of coordinator so you can stay fully present.

Seasonal Considerations
Spring and early fall are stunning here. Summer can be beautiful but warm. Because much of the venue leans outdoor, having a weather plan is important.

Booking Timeline
Popular dates in Utah (May–June and September–October) book quickly. If you’re planning a Utah small wedding at The Kinlands during peak season, reach out 9–12 months in advance if possible.

Who This Venue Is Truly Perfect For

The Kinlands Farm is perfect for couples who:

• Value intimacy over scale
• Love garden aesthetics
• Want a European feel in Utah
• Care about photography and ambiance
• Prefer meaningful connection over a packed dance floor

It may not be the best fit if you’re planning:

• A 200+ guest wedding
• A high-energy ballroom-style reception
• A fully all-inclusive experience

But for a Utah micro wedding or intimate celebration? It’s magic.

Why I’d Photograph There Again in a Heartbeat

What I loved most about the wedding I photographed at The Kinlands wasn’t just the beauty of the property. It was how it allowed the couple to slow down.

They weren’t rushing between events. They weren’t overwhelmed by logistics. They were present. Laughing. Hugging. Actually experiencing their wedding.

And that’s what a small wedding venue should do.

If you’re dreaming of a Utah intimate wedding that feels romantic, thoughtful, and beautifully scaled, The Kinlands Farm is absolutely worth touring. It’s one of those places that feels special the moment you walk through the gate — and even more special when you fill it with your favorite people.

This farm venue is truly perfect for any Utah micro wedding or elopement venue. I would love to connect with you about your micro wedding, where ever it might be.
