When Is the Best Time of Year to Get Married in Idaho?
Idaho is one of the most beautiful places in the country to say “I do.” From golden hillsides to wide-open skies and stunning sunsets, couples love celebrating their love here in the Treasure Valley. If you’re newly engaged, you might be asking yourself: When is the best time of year to get married in Idaho?
The answer depends on your style, your budget, and the kind of wedding day experience you want. At Sunnyside Farm, we host weddings from mid-March through mid-November, and each part of the season has its own unique beauty. Here’s a breakdown of what each season offers—along with some insider tips about peak season, off-season, and weekday discounts.

Spring Weddings in Idaho (Mid-March – May)
The vibe: From cozy beginnings to full bloom.
Spring at Sunnyside Farm is a season of transformation. In March, the Treasure Valley is still shaking off winter’s chill, but that makes it the perfect time for intimate, cozy celebrations inside the barn. With our off-season rates, March weddings are not only more budget-friendly but also carry a warm, romantic charm all their own.
By April, the gardens begin to wake up—buds appear, lawns turn green, and you can feel the season shifting. Couples love April for its hopeful energy and the mix of rustic coziness with pops of new life.
Then comes May, when spring is in full glory. Flowers burst into bloom, trees fill out with lush greenery, and the entire property feels alive. It’s one of the most romantic months of the year to exchange vows in the gardens, surrounded by the freshness of the season.
💲 Pricing: March is part of our off-season with discounted rates, while April and May are the start of the main season, offering couples the beauty of spring with more availability than summer and fall.

Summer Weddings in Idaho (June – August)
The vibe: Warm, lush, and festive.
Summer weddings are a peak season favorite. The gardens are in full bloom, the weather is warm, and guests love gathering outdoors beneath the twinkle lights.
Pros: Long daylight hours for photos, vibrant greenery, and those unforgettable Idaho sunsets.
Cons: It’s a popular time of year, so Saturdays book up quickly, and warm afternoons can require some planning. Luckily, we’ve got mature shade trees and air-conditioned suites to keep everyone comfortable.
💲 Pricing: Summer is part of our peak season (April–October). That means standard pricing applies, and prime Saturday dates often book more than a year in advance.

Fall Weddings in Idaho (September – Mid-November)
The vibe: Warm colors, cozy romance.
In Idaho, fall has become the most popular wedding season. September and October are breathtaking, with crisp air, golden hillsides, and vibrant fall colors throughout the gardens. Even early November can be magical, offering a cozy late-autumn atmosphere before winter arrives.
Pros: Comfortable weather, rich seasonal colors, and stunning golden-hour ceremonies.
Cons: Shorter daylight hours, so careful timeline planning is important.
💲 Pricing: September and October are part of our peak season. November is off-season, so you’ll enjoy discounted rates while still getting the beauty of fall.
