What a great place for a wedding! It was beautiful. The staff was amazing and the security guards did the jobs with a lot of professionalism.

The venue was perfect with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The staff was so kind and so accommodating. We could not have asked for a better setting for our big day!

Candy and her team were easy to work with through the planning process. The venue is beautifully located in the park area. They were responsive, and were very accommodating to our requests. We would highly recommend this as a venue for a wedding or other event.

I have booked this vendor for my wedding. We rented the patio, and the center for our ceremony and reception. My future mother in law, is dealing with the contracts and stuff, but the lady is very responsive and helpful to us. We were able to go see it and look around, as well as take pictures. It is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is very nice and professional. They do have some rules about decor , like you can only hang things from the wire ceiling, no tape or anything or they keep your deposit, but I am so excited to work with them! I give them only the highest review for how we have been treated this far!

We loved having our wedding at this beautiful venue. We originally planned on having the ceremony outside and the reception inside but it ended up raining on our wedding day. We were able to pull everything inside and it worked out perfectly! We had ~150 people at our wedding and it did not feel cramped or squished at all. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for someplace beautiful but also versitile.

I had the challenge of planning my daughter's wedding reception from out of town and we were lucky enough to have found the Barber Park Event Center. When I called to inquire about details, I spoke to Candy and she was very helpful, outlining the costs and explaining that because it was float season, we would have a per car parking fee. We decided to tally our guests so that we would cover the cost. I was able to secure our date and pay our first installment when we went to tour the venue 2 weeks later. I had proof of coverage from our Homeowner's Policy (required by the first venue we attempted to book) and Candy had their Risk Management department review it. She was very quick to reply that my coverage qualified and that saved us $100 off the contract cost.

The venue itself is beautiful and clean. The floor plan tool (submitted 30 days prior to the event) was a wonderful help and I was thrilled to learn that the tables and chairs are not only included in the cost, but set up by the staff prior to our arrival. (we did choose to upgrade to the wooden chairs at $2 per chair) The first venue I considered would have required rental and delivery fees on tables and chairs, so that was an added savings.

Candy was very quick to reply to any email question I had, and the staff was prompt to open the building on the day of our event. I must compliment Chris, who was there just prior to the reception, asking what needed to be done as if he were one of the family. We needed ice and he was filling the various containers and carrying things from the kitchen to the buffet. I greatly appreciated his help then and at break down time. He brought a rolling cart and loaded it with things that needed to be taken out to the vehicles. We had the entire venue clean and packed in under 1 hour. (tables and chairs were left for staff to remove)

Our event was absolutely wonderful. It was a stress free experience enjoyed by all of our family and friends! I recommend it 100%

This venue was perfect for my not-too-serious wedding. I was looking for a place that was beautiful without being stuffy and that also showcased Idaho's best assets. This was such an ideal location. The staff never left me hanging for anything and I really enjoyed working with them. I would highly recommend this location for anyone who wants to keep things simple yet fabulous!

I was concerned about early negative reviews but clearly things have changed. I found Candy and the event center very helpful and responsive. As we had alcohol there was a security guard but she was very non intrusive and invisible. Chris was on hand to assist w/sound setup and microphones
We were married in front of the beautiful stone fireplace on a chilly October morning The grounds & flowers provided a lovely backdrop for our photos. I would definitely recommend this venue.

We really enjoyed having our wedding here! It was the perfect place.. So beautiful and Candy was so easy to work with. She really made the process easy and was always there to answer any questions we had. It was a reasonable price for such a beautiful location! We couldn't be more happy with the place we chose for our wedding day:)

From the very first time I emailed Candy, the event coordinator at Barber Park, through our actual wedding day, she was incredibly responsive and timely with getting me answers to my many questions. The event center itself is gorgeous, in a lush riverside setting, and is beautifully maintained. I love that it's so secluded and private - very few of our guests even knew it existed prior to our wedding, and all of them commented on how lovely it was. The only downside to this otherwise perfect place is the limitations due to being operated by the county parks system- closing at 9pm (so early!), and having quite a few restrictions on things that weren't allowed, such as sparklers, etc. Those were fairly easy to navigate around, though, and we found that it was more than worth forgoing a sparkler-exit in order to have such a beautiful setting for our wedding. As a bonus, the cost is reasonable and even includes table/chair setup - however, ONLY inside the building. We must have missed that part of the contract and were scrambling last minute to get the chairs setup outside for our ceremony. All in all, we had a perfect day and would highly recommend!
