Everything about it was picturesque. However, what made it really outstanding was the people who own the property.

This was a very hard and painful decision, but Mark was very understanding of the situation and easy to work with.

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.

I was there this weekend for my grandson's wedding. I was excited because the pictures I had seen…read morewere lovely. Sadly, it didn't live up to expectations. First, as you arrive to the venue, directly next to it, on the property is construction, EEK! This was not expected as she had said it would be complete in April 2026. You have to walk down a very steep trail to get to the wedding site itself. Karen made things difficult for the wedding party, at one point raising her voice and yelling. She was going through items in the bride's dressing room. The kitchen area is old, really old. Think green avocado stove old. There were no towels, paper towels etc for clean up or as you go taking care of things. There was no air conditioning. The reception area was stifling and hot. You walk down the stairs to the basement to get to the kitchen and dressing areas. However, it's dark without light and the carpet was very dark. Definitely a tripping/falling hazard. Lastly, we had to pack the trash out with us! Insane! We actually had to haul trash out with our cars/trucks. Karen's behavior and demeanor sadly made everyone uncomfortable, causing the reception to end early, my grandson didn't get his mother/son dance, nor did his sweet wife get her father/daughter dance. The fact that Karen had our sweet bride in tears is just plain awful. I would never recommend the Hidden Pearl to anyone. Too bad, I have 17 grandchildren, she could've had a customer for life.

Let me just start off by saying that the venue is absolutely beautiful, when we did our tour we…read morereally loved it and were excited to have a great wedding day. Here are a few things you should know about before having your wedding here. You are required to haul off your own trash, there is no ac in the reception room so when you have 100 guests it gets extremely hot in there, if the bridesmaids are planning on getting ready at the venue they will need to bring their own mirrors and lights as it is very dark in the basement. Make sure to watch for ticks from the trees above where you have your ceremony. Lastly, i want to talk about the owner... KAREN. Lets just say she really lived up to the Karen stereotype. She was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout the entire night. She failed to let us know that we needed to haul off our own trash. She was snappy and rude with our bridal party and guests. I keep seeing reviews about how nice and helpful she was but we got the complete opposite. The only thing she set up was the chairs for the ceremony and the arch. She didn't help with cleanup at all and was nowhere to be found when we needed something. Don't expect to be able to eat while getting ready because that seemed to be an issue with her. She had my wife crying for almost the entire night and made us feel very unwelcome which led to us leaving early. Make sure to lock up your things because she will snoop through the rooms downstairs while you guys are away. You might want to ask her how to flush the toilet because shes too cheap to fix it. It was very disappointing to have our wedding night ruined by the person that's supposed to make it amazing. Its a very budget friendly option for a reason

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!

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.

I will say that scheduling this event was very difficult and challenging with the person who I had initial contact with. It would take days or even weeks to get a response, I never knew what was happening and was deeply concerned with how the event was going to turn out due to her lack of communication - but these 3 made up for it and our group had a blast.
