White Willow is a restored 1904 mansion a few blocks northwest of downtown Provo, with a ballroom added in 1998, parlors, a buffet room and gardens. It publishes a short rate card, and the rental includes decor, a planning consultation and a host on site. Two rules shape the day: no alcohol, and no cooking on site.

A $500 non-refundable deposit holds the date, and the balance is due two weeks before the event. No seasonal rates are listed. Your block must include setup and takedown of anything you bring, including deliveries such as the cake and food.
Add-ons listed: serving and cleanup staff (two people) at $300 for up to three hours and $100 for each extra hour; a ceremony changeover at $100; two patio heaters for $30; extra 60-inch round tables with 10 chairs at $35 a set; sparklers at $6 a dozen pre-ordered or $9 on the day.
What every reception includes
- Rooms: the bride's room, the groom's room, the ballroom, the buffet room, the parlors, the gardens and the serving kitchen.
- Furniture: ten 60-inch round tables, two six-foot banquet tables, eight adjustable cocktail tables and 100 white chairs, plus a carved cake table and your choice of cake stand.
- Decor to build your own centerpieces: bases, greenery, flowers and lanterns, with table and floor easels, signs and chalkboards.
- Sound: a sound system with a wireless microphone and a TV for a slideshow.
- People: a one-hour planning consultation and a host or hostess on site during the event.
The included 100 chairs and 10 rounds seat roughly 100 for dinner; the site does not publish a total capacity, so for an open-house reception with a long line, ask how many guests the house and gardens handle at once.
The rules that shape the day
No alcohol anywhere on site.
No cooking. The serving kitchen has a refrigerator, a freezer and a microwave, and no oven. Your caterer must deliver food ready to serve, and you are responsible for leaving the kitchen clean, unless you add the serving and cleanup staff.
Linens through the venue. Plan for that line in the budget.
On a temple day
The Provo City Center Temple is about 1.1 miles away, roughly 3 minutes by car, by OpenStreetMap routing. A morning block (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) can hold a luncheon after a sealing, and the all-day block covers a luncheon and an evening reception in one booking.
Touring
Use the venue's availability form or call 801-404-9840. Ask about the guest capacity for your format, parking for a large reception, garden use in cold weather and how the ballroom flips for a ring ceremony.
