The Picture Below Is A Decorated Gym!

In today’s challenging economy, many brides are looking for cost effective ideas for their wedding reception. Having a reception in a church gym is one way to cut costs and still have a beautiful event! Most churches allow brides to use their gym at no charge. Another perk—you aren’t locked into using a specific (and usually expensive) caterer. Family and friends can prepare and serve delicious refreshments at a fraction of the cost that a caterer would charge.


But wait a minute, what about the decorations you ask? Let’s face it, no one wants basketball hoops in the background of their reception photos. Not to mention the big, bright overhead lights and less than attractive walls and accordion doors. Fortunately, decorating gyms has come a long way over the past few years! Legacy Weddings and Events, a Salt Lake City based company, offers ceiling to floor draperies and an overhead canopy that completely hide unattractive walls and basketball hoops.


Along with the draped walls and ceiling canopy, Legacy Weddings uses special lighting techniques to create a romantic and elegant mood. Backlighting behind the draperies, miniature lights in the ceiling canopy and even lights underneath the tables replace the bright overhead lights to make your evening magical.

Custom table linens, white padded chairs, and beautiful centerpieces are the finishing details that will leave you and your guests in awe. You don’t need to spend a fortune on your reception to make it the most unforgettable event of your life!

The Custom Fit


At Legacy Weddings we understand that every event is different. We have many options available to complement every couple’s personality and budget, and want to create the perfect setting for your special day. Below are a few options to make your event unique.


Canopy and Walls Only:


We will create an elegant atmosphere by constructing our wall drapery and canopy system with custom lighting, and you can fill in the rest! This option is an excellent way to transform your cultural hall into a reception center while still watching your budget. By enlisting your friends and family to help with the interior decor, you can save money and still have the breath taking transformation that makes Legacy Weddings unique.

(Package Cost: $1,200)


Walls Only:


This package includes 16' high draped walls in front of the basketball hoops and adjacent 12' high walls, covering up the entire perimeter of the room and creating a simple elegance that will work with any decor. Custom backlighting will glow from behind and make your event simply enchanting.

(Package Cost: $1,000)


Backdrop Only:


Our beautiful backdrops create an elegant background to highlight the bride and groom as they welcome their guests to the reception. There are three different backdrops to choose from, each with its own charm. The Roman Column Backdrop includes our regal marble looking columns with lamp posts, trees and greenery (for indoor use only). While the Legacy Garden Arch and Tuscan Leaves Backdrops are made of stunning bronzed iron and include trellises and fences with lamp posts and silk floral arrangements in planter stands. Each backdrop is customizable by adding lighting and silk flowers, or your own idea! All three backdrops come with a 16' high back-lit curtained wall that will cover a basketball hoop and draw attention to the new couple.

(Package Cost: $600)
