Looking for a place to eat, visit with your wedding party, or even hold your reception? Springdale has several restaurants to choose from depending on your preferences. Here are a few to take note of.
Jared and Alyssa choose the popular Spotted Dog Cafe as the location for their reception. The Spotted Dog is a fine dining restaurant known for its spectacular views of Zion’s cliffs.
