The bright hall is bathed in natural light and also has four lovely chandeliers. There was plenty of room to seat everyone and set things up buffet style. Columns of quaint dining dishes allowed us to take advantage of using as many we needed for a multi-course meal sustainably. Three deep sinks made prep and cleanup a breeze. Simply appointed cozy rooms were lovely to retire to at the end of the day. (I presume these were Sunday School rooms once-upon a time). We didn't use the church part actively, but it served those who needed a quiet, serene place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of a family gathering. I noticed that they have special prices through the end of the year and will consider them again for hosting our holiday meals or special events.

Well so much for being called a party barn.... these people need to have a lil better people skills…read moreand not be so rude! First off trying to find where this place is at night is almost impossible. The entrance isn't lit up what so ever. So many rules that you don't know about. Some friends had a dog on a leash and the owners come running out saying "you better get the f'n dog off our property!" Didn't know dogs weren't allowed... but to come storming out of their the house and start cussing?? Come on. Be a lil more professional as business owners. Other friends had left as well because of how they were treated and spoken to. If you don't want people in your so called barn then don't rent it out!!!! Find somewhere else to throw a party. Should rename this place Idaho party pooper!! Ha!

Bad business practices... I called to request a booking, and they refused. I wanted to book the…read morefacility for my daughter's high school graduation party in June. They said that was "wedding season" and the number of people I was expecting, around 20, wasn't nearly enough because they charge by the number. I asked if they were seriously refusing to book me, and the man I was talking to said yes. He said I could have it if I wanted to pay $1,000 which is what they charge for weddings. Wow!! so, unless you are looking for something in the off season of what they consider their money making time of year, don't bother. They were rude. On another note, I was at the place for a summer BBQ. The people that run the facility have a house on the property. Not only did they come over to the party and help themselves to the food and beverages...one of them got sloppy drunk...they sat in their backyard watching the party and the invited guests. The people having the party didn't know them and didn't invite them to be a part of it, they just included themselves as guests. Very weird.

Emili and her staff did a phenomenal job from the moment I first contacted them to the execution of a delicious dinner. Emili was professional and promptly communicated at each step of the process.

And Emili offered to step in and help with our dessert serving logistics even though it wasn't part of the order from WW. Emili is a very engaged vendor that provides outstanding catering!
