The Falls Event Center — now in the midst of a companywide bankruptcy — emailed customers last week to announce that it was closing June 23 and any events scheduled after that date would be canceled.
The couple’s wedding reception was to be held at the Salt Lake City venue, 580 S. 600 East — inside Trolley Square — in early August, and they had already printed invitations for 400 people, said Gaztambide. “We didn’t really know how we were going to find another venue on such short notice."
The couple’s fears were temporary, though, because the Union Event Center in downtown Salt Lake City has signed a short-term lease with Trolley Square and agreed to stage at The Falls all the events that were booked there through December.
