All the stars for Big Canyon Acres Wedding Venue!! Engaged? Planning a wedding? Don’t know where to start? BCA is a brand new venue that has just about everything you’ll need all included! I really throught planning my own wedding would be a piece of cake..until I really got into the nitty gritty. I had SO many questions about decor, seating, table/chair/linen rentals, sound equipment rentals, lighting..SO many things and when I started to see prices of renting everything we would need for our big day, ASIDE from cake, flowers, photography, videography, etc…I started feeling extremely stressed and anxious. The owners of our venue, Susan & Ron Jacobson QUICKLY relieved that stress. Susan has made herself available for alllll of my questions and even has a handy Pinterest board that had so many incredible ideas. Not only do they have PLENTY of high quality tables & chairs on site for us to use..but linens, a full professional mixing board and sound system, wireless microphones, projector and screen…lights..set up & take down crew…even TONS of decor (center pieces, string lights, signs, etc) that we have access to use! We are getting married in their beautiful orchard and having our reception in their new Timber Frame Barn..but they have several different areas to choose from on their property! They even have an option to include camping for wedding guests in your package! If you want your big day to run smoothly, I truly believe this is the best “all in one” package you can find!! THANK YOU, BIG CANYON ACRES for changing my stress to EXCITEMENT!!

We had our ceremony with Teton views, dinner in the Aspen grove under string lights) and dancing in the tent later on. Because it’s not a big corporate venue, we could be totally creative with how we set things up and the vendors made magic happen. It was totally special and completely our own. So grateful to have been able to get married there!

Could not say enough good things about our experience getting married at Trail Creek Ranch. We wish we could do it all over again! We had the most unimaginable day thanks to Alex and the Trail Creek Ranch team who were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. From helping coordinate the perfect locations on the ranch for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, making recommendations for who to work with in the area, and helping coordinate all the details behind the scenes with our vendors leading up to and on our wedding day, we could not have asked for a better experience. The views from our wedding site on the ranch were truly unmatched. The venue offers the most dreamy backdrop for cocktail hour under the sunset with the picturesque ranch field and horses alongside our wedding festivities and our reception under the stars. They even released the horses to run out to the field during cocktail hour which was a highlight for our guests! We also loved being able to stay at the incredible guest cabins on the property with our family and friends in the days leading up to our wedding day. As a bride, there was nothing more special than waking up on my wedding day and seeing our reception tent and ceremony site set up outside my window. The cabin I stayed in had plenty of room for my bridesmaids and I to get ready the day of. Trail Creek is a hidden gem that highlights the beauty that is Jackson Hole and we could not recommend it enough to any future couples looking to get married in a unique place in the greater Jackson Hole area. We can't wait to go back and stay at the ranch again!!!

As a local couple, we were looking for somewhere beautiful to celebrate our wedding that was removed from the high profile venues of the area. What we loved most about the Bentwood was it's cozy atmosphere and private grounds, a true hidden gem! The lodge was spacious enough to accommodate both our families and provided the ideal setting for everyone to be social and get to know each other better. Plus, staying at the venue for the extended weekend had all kinds of other advantages and made the logistics a whole lot easier! Ava was extremely committed to creating the best experience for us and worked hard to accommodate all of our requests. She helped with reservations and planning and was always only a phone call away. The innkeepers were always available and ready to jump in when needed. Everyone raved about the made-to-order breakfasts and loved lounging by the huge fireplace. Our catered dinner was delicious and they pulled out all the stops! Overall, we were thrilled by the whole event and, as cheesy as it sounds, could not have picked a better spot for our wedding! If you choose the Bentwood we hope you have the same experience, and congratulations! Erin & Frazer

Sixty Chapel 
Garden Valley, ID
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor

Welcome to Sixty Chapel. We are glad you are here. We're glad we're here. While we opened our doors in Spring of 2018, Sixty Chapel has been a project in the making for over a decade. Having worked alongside each other in the Wedding and Events Industry in San Francisco for over 12 years, my husband Willy and I have seen hundreds of events and weddings (not being facetious) and had worked with thousands more (again, no joke). Needless to say, we had seen that with every event we attended the vendors and the guests alike seemed to be going through the motions. When we decided to get married in 2013, we knew we couldn't rationalize spending money, time, or energy on a wedding that didn't speak to us as a couple or as creatives. We ended up getting married at a nontraditional location which enabled us to create our wedding from scratch. With the help of lots of amazing friends and family, we made everything from the benches to the tables, and all of the decor.
