    The team at St James Event Center in Payette, ID was exceptional from start to finish. Their communication was friendly, responsive, and they were so willing to work with us to make our wedding day perfect. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - a beautiful, non-denominational space that was easy for all of our guests to access. They provided all the kitchen supplies we needed, making it a breeze to set up and serve our catered meal. The quality of the venue and the value they provided was top-notch. We are thrilled we chose St James Event Center and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stunning, accessible wedding location.

    The St James Event Center in Payette, ID is a wonderful wedding venue with a medium to large capacity that provides an intimate and comfortable setting for your special day. The interior has been well-maintained with attention to detail, creating an appealing atmosphere for any event. We were very impressed from the moment we walked through the door - the venue offers plenty of rooms for the whole wedding party to be at ease, and the kitchen is a great addition that can accommodate catering needs. We believe this location would also be an excellent choice for business retreats or leadership development events, with its versatile spaces and overnight accommodations available. Overall, the St James Event Center is a great value and we highly recommend it for your upcoming celebration.
