It all began with a dream.
Actually—that’s not entirely true.
It really began with love at first sight (as all the best stories do).
I once coaxed my very patient mom (bless her) to join me for an early-morning estate sale in the Avenues of downtown Salt Lake City. That’s where I laid eyes on the piece—the most beautiful item of furniture I had ever seen: an 1800s Victorian rosewood settee, upholstered in electrifying cobalt blue, boasting 82 glorious tufts. Be still my beating heart.
Without hesitation (and with the financial wisdom of a poor college student), I spent nearly every dime I had to bring it home. As we loaded it up and started the drive back, my mom looked over and asked, “So… what do you plan to do with it?”
And just like that, a dream was born.

About Us
Much like my love at first sight with furniture, the same could be said of how I met my sweetheart. After a few years of dating, I said “heck yes” to a girl’s dream question—and to my dream guy. A few months later, we eloped.
And when I say eloped, I mean it. No grand ballroom. No cake cutting. No choreographed first dance. Instead, we chose an intimate temple sealing surrounded by our closest family and friends. It was simple, sacred, and absolutely perfect for us.
But choosing that path meant missing out on many of the beloved details that make weddings so magical—the lush florals, curated lounge areas, statement seating, sign-in tables, dessert displays, the cake table (and cake in the face), and all the beautiful chaos that comes with planning the Big Day.
Somewhere along the way, I realized that a part of me gets to live those moments vicariously through my clients—and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
What began with a single cobalt blue settee has grown into a passion (and, let’s be honest, a bit of an obsession): creating meaningful, beautiful spaces for life’s most celebrated moments. From weddings and showers to styled shoots and soirées, Utah Vintage Rentals exists to help bring your vision to life with charm, character, and a touch of magic.
Forever our Goal: Beauty Is Meant to be Shared
From the very beginning, our dream has been to build a collection of beauty meant to be shared. Not only an external, tangible collection through our carefully curated inventory—but an internal one as well: beauty found in creativity, love, passion, character, and yes… sparkle.
That has always been—and will always be—the heart of Utah Vintage Rentals: to share beauty, and to inspire others to do the same.
