The Very Best Idaho Wedding Vendors in the State

I have spent the last 10 years working and living in Boise Idaho as a wedding photographer, so I finally decided to sit down and create my “Best Idaho Wedding Vendors” list. As a trusted professional working in the wedding industry for over a decade in the Treasure Valley, I get asked constantly about which Boise wedding vendors I recommend. It can feel overwhelming for couples planning their wedding when they are flooded with advice, recommendations, and referrals. Sifting through countless profiles and portfolios gets daunting!

Luckily, I have worked with nearly every vendor in the region and have a well vetted, trusted list of wedding professionals I highly recommend. These wedding vendors have proven over years of experience they can excel under pressure, deliver an amazing customer experience, and deliver stunning art every single time. An exceptional wedding vendor, in my eyes, has dozens of 5 star positive reviews and satisfied proven customer interactions every time. Unfortunately, the wedding industry is one of the few industries where an off day is rarely allowed because an off day means potentially hurting a couple’s once in a lifetime wedding experience.

Above all else, I pride myself on aligning with the best Idaho wedding vendors who are a JOY to work with! A successful wedding day is created collaboratively between several wedding vendors and artists. If you aren’t a team player, it hurts everyone else. I enjoy working with other individuals who are passionate about providing a fun, upbeat, optimistic approach to their work. So let’s do this!

My favorite Idaho Wedding Planners

First on the list: wedding vendors! Here is a round up of my favorite Idaho wedding vendors who deliver the best events and experiences for couples.

Sam Grey with Sprout Design

Sprout Design is a Sun Valley Idaho Wedding Planner who is simply the best. Her design style blends boho with clean, organic textures. Sam has planned multiple million dollar events in the Sun Valley and McCall regions. Her bubbly personality and straight forward approach make her a joy to work with. With an outstanding record and reputation in Idaho, Sam remains at the top of her game because she delivers incredible wedding experiences while remaining kind, thoughtful, and cheerful throughout.

Emily Aitken with Emily Aitken Events

Emily Aitken feels like a breath of fresh air in the Idaho wedding industry. Emily’s background lies in social work and psychology, so it’s no wonder her calm demeanor creates smooth wedding days. Also, she moved to Idaho from Georgia, so her natural ability to host and create magical events is in her blood. Emily’s style feels elevated, earthy, and clean. I live for her stunning tablescapes and unique eye to design. Emily’s strength as one of the best Idaho Wedding Vendors is working on private estates and wild, remote areas. I’ve seen her create an entire wedding reception in the middle of a field.

Holly with Gatherings by Holly

Holly’s entrance into the Idaho wedding market was swift and memorable. The very first time I worked with Holly at the Trica Castle in the North End of Boise, she impressed me right away. Every time I turned, it felt like Holly was right there to assist the entire team of wedding vendors without even asking. Holly’s roots are from Southern California and I adore her appreciation for vibrant pops of color, modern design, and unique vignettes. Not only is she a talented wedding designer and planner, but she is simply fun to be around and extremely kind. I love her!

Capital Occasions

Every time I have the opportunity to work with Anna and Jade with Capital Occasions, I am stoked. If you’re looking for a whole team of wedding vendors to execute your vision, these gals are the best. Offering day of, month of, and partial wedding coordination in addition to full service planning, they can help no matter your needs. Many wedding planners only offer full service wedding vendors, so if you’re looking for a team of people to execute your vision, they’re the people to call.

Sara and Emily Peyton with Four Eyes Events

As a family owned team, these sisters are killing it as some of the best Idaho wedding vendors. Their background lies in the music scene in Boise. As one of the original founders of Treefort Music Festival, they can plan events for literally thousands of people. I highly recommend reaching out to them! Also, they are inclusive Boise Idaho LGBTQ wedding vendors. These two know how to execute events and put out any fires (literally) that may come up. Any wedding with these sisters makes the wedding day more enjoyable. They are simply a blast to spend time with and their couples trust them wholly.

Wonderful Idaho Florists You Should Know

Emily with Rust & Thistle Design

Chances are, you’ve seen Emily’s incredible work. It’s a privilege to photograph her stunning, sculptural floral designs. Emily’s fresh aesthetic, romantic style, and ethereal organic flowers make her one of the most creative wedding florists in Idaho. Her roots lie in Southern California and she spent over a decade training under some of the best wedding florists in the entire country. Rust & Thistle has designed full flower installs for million dollar events in Sun Valley, Bozeman, and Jackson Hole. Additionally, she has been published in every wedding magazine imaginable. Her work has been featured in Green Wedding Shoes, Rocky Mountain Bride, Brides, Junebug Weddings, Style Me Pretty, Martha Stewart, and beyond. So, if you’re looking for someone with the best professionalism, exceptional design, and amazing ideas- she’s your gal.

Kadie with House of Poppy

Kadie’s larger than life flower installs are something to behold. Her impressive work speaks for itself and I love her quirky, modern, artisan floral installs. Kadie’s team delivers excellence time and again. Her work in the Boise community stands out for its original and unique design. For my boho couples, her design often feels wild, carefree, and romantic to me!

Kaitlyn with Two Hands Floral

Kaitlyn lives in Sun Valley Idaho and moved here in 2019 from Australia. Honestly, I have never seen such original and unique floral designs. Her work is as elevated as it is creative. Kaitlyn never shies away from using vibrant color or weird plants and fruit in her work. As an artist, she is able to make art out of everything. I’ve observed her using eggplant, citrus fruits, produce, and more to create outstanding floral installs. Also, she’s the queen of hanging installs, designing on literal trees, and incorporating the natural environment into her designs.

The Best Idaho Wedding Photographers

Maggie with Maggie Grace Photography

Yes, I am including myself on this list of the best Idaho wedding vendors! As an industry leader, I’m honored to serve the state of Idaho and beyond for over a decade. My work is rooted in inclusivity and diversity. I pride myself on being a part of the LGBTQ+ community but also photographing real people with real bodies. 50% of my work comes from over a decade of referrals across the world. My couples and clients repeatedly come back to me to photograph their milestones beyond their wedding. I’m honored by the community I have cultivated in my time here. Telling stories and capturing the “real” moments grab my heart.

Kylie with Kylie Morgan Photography

Kylie Morgan is a beast. This amazing woman and artist has made a name for herself first as a destination wedding photographer and now primarily a local Idaho wedding photographer. Her work feels timeless and cinematic. I love her eye for artistic moments that feel authentic. If you’re looking for a bright and airy film based photographer, Kylie is your gal. Also, she has an incredibly sweet and soft spoken personality. Her aura just feels calming and relaxed!

Corrie with Corrie Butler Photography

Corrie’s work in Boise is extremely popular. As an avid family photographer, her ability to capture candid moments on the fly is unparalleled. She captures true personalities and brings her super upbeat, happy personality to every single photoshoot. As an in demand photographer, she takes limited weddings every year, but that only proves her worth and value.

Sav with Dear Kodak

Sav’s undeniably one of the best new Idaho wedding vendors in the state. Her work has flourished in recent years as a bright, airy, and vibrant photographer. I love her sweet personality and it feels like she is always smiling or laughing. Savannah’s faith also guides her work, so if you’re looking for a photographer who shares that, she is your person.

Tessa with Tessa Campbell Photography

If you’re looking for an adventure based photographer, Tessa is an incredible adventure photographer in Idaho. Her work feels authentic without being pretentious at all. I love the incredible landscapes featured prominently in her work. Amazingly, her subjects feel like as much as the story as do the amazing landscapes and a nature in her photographs. I’ve met and worked alongside Tessa several times. She is truly a gem and makes me laugh until my stomach hurts.

Idaho DJ’s and Entertainment

Trail Creek Cabin Wedding Sun Valley Idaho

DJ Jesse D

By far, my favorite Boise based Dj is DJ Jesse D. Jesse is extremely polite, always professional, and incredibly easy to work with. At every wedding where we’ve collaborated, he is the first vendor to introduce himself and make himself familiar with everyone involved with the wedding event. His energy is simply infectious and he can carry a party alone with his amazing dance moves. Also, my clients repeatedly comment on the way he truly listened to their requests and made sure to include music they love.

Directly Driven DJS

I’ve thorough enjoyed working with all 4 of the DJ’s behind Directly Driven. Manny, Josh, and Dave all have excellent party energy and amazing personalities. These dudes are professional and extremely fun. And on numerous occasions, I’ve seen them continue a wild party in the rain or a storm outside. When you hire a DJ, you are also hiring someone in charge of assessing the mood of the crowd and keeping events moving along so you don’t lose your guests. All of these guys are great for exactly that reason: there are rarely “lull periods” at weddings with Directly Driven around.

Soundwave Events

Soundwave remains the most popular wedding DJs in Boise for a reason. Just look at their hundreds of reviews online and decade plus of experience in the Treasure Valley. Every DJ they hire is professional and hard working. I value their consistency and ability to create amazing events.

Excellent Wedding Caterers in Idaho

Horsewood Catering

If nothing else, the only endorsement you need to hear about Horsewood Catering is that I hired them for my own wedding. Yes, I lightly bully all my couples into hiring them. I have never tasted wedding food as good as what Horsewood is able to create. They work so closely with every couple to create a custom wedding menu built around their family traditions, family recipes, and favorite foods. Their team of exceptional chefs and catering support staff work tirelessly to ensure their food is hot, fresh, and served with love every time. They are easily the very best wedding caterer in the state. Not only do they serve amazing food, but they have the ability to cater events on private property, non-traditional venues, and beyond.
