4. The Barn on 1st
There’s nothing quite like a country theme, and the Barn on 1st has created a majestic space where couples can have the country wedding of their dreams. Located on East 1st Street, the 91-year-old dairy barn was owned by a single family until just a few years ago, when it was purchased and painstakingly renovated to provide impressive wedding amenities while also retaining an authentic country feel. With a 25-foot high barrel ceiling in the main loft as well as a kitchen, lounge and large garden area, this venue is unlike any other around Idaho Falls.

5. LaBelle Lake
Filled with nature paths, log bridges, multiple ponds, a lake along the Snake River and an ice palace in the winter, there is nothing LaBelle Lake doesn’t offer. The Youngstrom family, through a lifetime of effort and generations of helping hands, transformed their stunning 7,000 square-foot log cabin and sprawling 7-acre estate into a one-stop destination. After exchanging vows along a serene waterside, couples can board a canoe or paddle boat and sail around the lake, venture through a variety of wildlife or explore endless scenery as each wedding party gets access to the entire estate for the day.
