BOUNTIFUL—Looking for a cozy venue for a wedding, high school reunion or other event? Wild Sage fits the bill. The events center offers a space where gatherings that are too big for a home can meet. 

“It’s a small scale self-service events center,” said owner Megan Ericksen. “It’s an affordable way to get together if you don’t want to cram people into the living room. We get events from all across the board.”

There are tables, chairs and linens available, she said. “People can bring their own food or have a potluck. Bigger venues don’t allow that. I don’t charge based on the type of event, it’s by the hour.”

Wild Sage opened in April at 1480 Orchard Drive, Suite 113 in Bountiful. “I saw the space and thought it would work,” Ericksen said. 

In addition to owning the business, Ericksen is an artist. She recently held a pop-up art show at Wild Sage. “I like acrylics. I mostly do landscapes and I like bold colors. I’ve done art my whole life. It’s fun.”

Ericksen plans on hosting more community events. “I want to have local artists and food trucks. “I want to support a group of artists and help them build their dreams while I build mine. All together we can make this work.”

Wild Sage is also hosting a Grab & Go Packs event Sept. 22 from 6-9 p.m. supporting the Davis Education Foundation and their teen centers to provide grab and go packs for students experiencing homelessness. “Our goal is to put together 500 packs,” she said. “We want to help the kids in our area that face homelessness and food insecurity.”
