The space
The building's own description: an open floor plan under a barrel-vaulted ceiling with industrial steel trusses, brick walls, metal sliding doors, vintage steel windows, cement floors, pre-hung cafe lights and a spiral staircase, with indoor plants. The mezzanine gives a photographer a high angle, and a powder room serves as a getting-ready space.
On a temple day
Downtown is the one place in the valley where a sealing, a luncheon and a reception can all be on foot. From the Provo City Center Temple, The Bright Building is about a 7-minute walk. See our Provo City Center Temple page and, for the other downtown halls, The Startup Building, The Ivory Hall and the Utah Valley Convention Center.
