our roots

Last week was marked by Pioneer Day, a day where we pay tribute to the courageous people who braved extreme conditions to be able to make it to the Utah Territory. Wadley Farms carries the family name of some of our ancestors who attempted this daunting feat and without them there would be no Wadley Farms and there would be no “us”. It is because of them that we are here, that we are able to enjoy freedom, something they were willing to sacrifice everything precious to them, even their life. We hold a duty to them to not let their sacrifice be in vain and to show them gratitude by treating their land with love and respect. I’ve often had guests comment about the “spirit” that they feel at the farm. There is a stillness that is only felt there. I believe that this is due to the fact that the property has been loved, cultivated, and prayed over for generations. There is nothing more surreal than sitting on the Railroad Building porch with a gentle breeze, birds singing, and watching the sun slowly sink behind the West Mountains. This is why we do what we do.

Ally and Chris June 2010

What a beautiful and fun couple! Sheena Jibson Photography did the stunning pictures. Sheena's has a tastefully unique perspective of the Farm that I have never seen. She is a really talented photographer. Ally and Chris did a beautiful job of decorating and making the event reflect their taste and style. I loved the centerpieces, perhaps one of my favorites of the season!

Tyson and Jessie June 2010

What a beautiful couple! Shine Photography by Karen's Photos did the pictures for their event and what a talented photographer! Their day was beautiful and went flawlessly! Thanks for having your event with us!

In bloom

Spring really is a magical time at the farm. One of our favorite photographers, Michael Lloyd, took some beautiful pictures a few months ago. He really is a talented photographer.

New Dressing Rooms

We have been busy working on new dressing rooms for the bride and the groom. They are almost complete, but here is an exclusive sneak peak for our favorite blog readers!


This is the new brides dressing room.



The new room has a full length custom mirror which allows the bride to see her beautifully styled hair all the way down to her perfectly manicured toes.


This is the outside of the grooms room.


The grooms room has a leather sofa with a tv and game system.

Arlene and Darren Majers Wedding May 11th, 2010

Their colors were bright pink and mango orange, which were so fun and springy. Their ceremony was in the morning and everybody danced down the aisle to "Forever" from Chris Brown. It RAINED all day, but they kept in good spirits. Wedding Dreamers did everything from the flowers, table decor, cake, chair sashes, ceremony chairs, and food. They were such a joy to work with and everything turned out so beautiful, despite the rain.

Getting to know us

The real secret to our success is the people who work here at Wadley Farms. A while back I introduced you to the full time crew of guys who have imagined and created Wadley Farms. It is now the girls turn for the spot light.

FYI- an event coordinator by definition is someone who is there with our guests the moment they step onto Wadley Farms property, they are assisting the wedding party in getting everything ready for the event and then during the event they are supervising.They are there with our guests for the duration of their event and then at the end of the night they are then to hold your hand and assure you that everything will be alright.


Calleen - event coordinator. She is a Wadley decedent and been running events here for over six years. She enjoys spending time with her family and is a fantastic cook. She enjoys long walks on the beach with her husband Joe.


Stacey - event coordinator. Stacey has been with us over three years. She always has a smile on and is so easy to work with. She is married with two adorable little girls. She likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.


Callie - event coordinator. Callie has been with us for over two years. She has a fantastic smile and is always singing and humming songs. She recently returned from a humanitarian trip to Africa which proves she is a loving and giving person. She is not into yoga and she has half a brain.



Cynthia - event coordinator. She has been with us for over two years. She is a talented dancer and as well always has a smile on. And yes, she loves the feel of the ocean.



Jordan and Katie - a little of everything. These girls do anything and everything. They help with events, run ceremonies, do gardening, cleaning, putting up and taking down tables, they even will perform tap dance routines during events (by request only).


Anna and Shaunzie - a little of everything. These two as well do about everything. Anything that needs to be done, they can do it. They have been known to break out with some wicked break dancing moves, if the music is right...
