I can't say enough good things about Beside Bardenay! I recently had my wedding reception here and everything was perfect. The atmosphere is amazing and lends itself well to minimalist decoration. Whitney was a star when it came to coordinating and helping plan the day. She was so kind and flexible, making sure that everything came together at the end. One way that Whitney was amazingly valuable was in helping us to estimate how much food and drink to provide for our guests, and it ended up being just right. All of our guests left happy. All of the food tasted amazing, and I was sad when there were few leftovers because our guests loved it so much! Whitney and her staff made the day stress-free an absolutely beautiful for an amazing value.

Beside Bardenay hosted our wedding ceremony and reception yesterday! The whole place is amazing! Whitney was a rockstar and answered every email within days, even working with me to make sure all the guests were taken care of. It was impressive to see her even helping bartend, clean up, and serve out cake. They were also extremely accommodating when the weather suddenly turned south during resetting the space. It was everything we hoped! It was also perfect for our cozy little wedding! The food was amazing and their baker, Natasha, did a fantastic job on our cake!

This setting is located in Boise's iconic Basque Block, within walking distance of the city's hotels and vibrant nightlife.

For a more intimate atmosphere, the Boiler Room is nestled behind the main dining area in the restaurant. This 500 square foot space is ideal for smaller gatherings of up to 24 people. It features the same charming ambiance that is found throughout the entire distillery.

e planning process and her and her staff made the evening run seamlessly. The bar and wait staff were polite and attentive, the food and cake (both of which were ordered through their in-house baker and chef) were delicious and guests could not stop complimenting either. It was quite possibly the most stress-free wedding in the history of weddings thanks to Beside Bardenay, Whitney, and her staff.

Beside Bardenay was an amazing and intimate venue. We hosted a reception of 65 people and had catering through Bardenay. You get the same amazing bites that you can get at their ...

restaurant next door and they were so accommodating. I worked with Aubrey and she was always responding to all my questions within a few hours. The day of our wedding was filled with amazing service from the staff, everything from busing tables, to making sure we (the bride and groom) had a drink in our hand, they were fabulous. It's a little gem in downtown Boise! I couldn't be more pleased and I plan on using this venue again for parties in the future.
