About this venue

Let us be a part of your special day and make it an unforgettable one. Lake Effect is a truly unique and picturesque space that is sure to leave an impression on you and your guests. Founded in 2017, Lake Effect has become a renowned locale in the Salt Lake valley. Our building itself is a historical part of the downtown area. Originally built in 1910 and known as the Hotel Victor, we converted the building into an elegant bar and event venue. Our aesthetic provides a vintage, classy feel while still embracing a more modern style. From the enchanting decor in each of our spaces to our attentive staff, every detail is meticulously crafted to ensure your day is nothing short of extraordinary.
