So, you’re planning a wedding in Idaho? Hell yes. First of all, great choice. Idaho is the spot for couples who want something a little different—something stunning, maybe a little adventurous, and absolutely, unapologetically you. Whether you’re dreaming of a moody mountain ceremony, a lakeside love fest, or an intimate garden party, Idaho has venues that will make your heart race (and your photographer very, very happy).

But here’s the thing—finding the perfect spot to say “I do” can feel like a full-time job. That’s where I come in. I’ve rounded up some of the best Idaho wedding venues for every kind of couple, so you can spend less time scrolling and more time planning a wedding that actually feels like you.



Listen, I love Idaho. But let’s be real—every location has its perks and its quirks. So before you book a venue, here’s the tea:

✅ Unreal scenery—think mountains, forests, lakes, and the dreamiest sunsets.
✅ A venue for every vibe: cozy cabins, sleek modern spaces, sprawling meadows—you name it.
✅ A built-in honeymoon destination (because why not roll straight from “I do” into adventure mode?).

🚨 Weather does what it wants—so have a backup plan, especially if you’re going all-in on an outdoor ceremony.
🚨 Some venues are in the middle of nowhere (beautiful? Yes. Easy for your guests to find? Debatable).
🚨 Popular venues book up fast, so if you’re eyeing a spot, don’t wait.


Weddings are getting cooler, and I’m here for it. Idaho couples are shaking things up with:

Micro-weddings with big energy – Think small guest lists, but next-level details and vibes.
Interactive ceremonies – Group vows, ring scavenger hunts, unity ceremonies that actually feel meaningful.
Retro, moody, and cinematic aesthetics – Twilight-inspired weddings? 80s rock-and-roll elopements? Give me all of it.

Idaho venues are stepping up their game to match these trends, offering more personalized and unique experiences. Let’s talk about some of the best spots to make it all happen.

Idaho Wedding Venues That’ll Make Your Jaw Drop

Let's do this thing

I literally have no words. Natalie is so amazing and talented, and not to mention how kind she is. She has outdone herself! My pregnancy has actually been pretty hard, so it actually brings me to tears to have such beautiful photos to remember it with. I am so so grateful for these beautiful keepsakes.

Natalie and her husband are amazing! My hubby does not enjoy taking photos. Natalie was able to make us feel at ease and have fun with our session. She went above and beyond! I was expecting the typical sit here, pose this way, smile, click. NOPE! She asked us intimate questions about our lives. She played music that we love. She created an atmosphere and a mood that made our anniversary photos an experience. We are so thankful for the memories she helped us to create. Also her unique artistry in how she photographed us. I’m in love with the results. Thank you Natalie and Nate 💖
