BEHIND THE SCENES
about
Established in 2000, Fourth Street Gardens has celebrated couples as they embark on a new chapter of their lives for over 25 years as a wedding and event venue just outside Boise, Idaho.
Today, the current owners - Shelby and Nick - have the honor of continuing this legacy, leveraging Shelby’s years of experience within the wedding industry and in-depth knowledge of the local events market as the founder and owner of Shelby Donald & Company, a Treasure Valley-based wedding planning and coordination business.
Before becoming a venue, many Emmett families enjoyed the 1910’s Victorian-style estate – with additions of the onsite pool and barn completed by different owners over the years. Then, at the turn of a new millennium, founder Ruth Anne welcomed the community into the property to host weddings, events and celebrations of all types.
More than 25 years later, the Fourth Street Gardens team is continuing the legacy built over the last nearly three decades and looks forward to celebrating more and more couples for decades to come.

WITH A PURPOSE TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
OUR VALUES
what we stand for
Creating an inclusive environment: We're eager to work with couples from all walks of life. Non-traditional weddings are our vibe, love is love - and we're obsessed with love.
Doing the right thing: We're human - sometimes we mess up. Your vendors are also human, and sometimes they mess up. In those moments, we're committed to doing the right thing.
Caring for and serving others: It’s in our DNA; it’s why we do what we do. We genuinely love opening our doors and helping bring your wedding vision to life, cultivating a space that will hold a special place in your heart for years to come..
Celebrating your love: You, your family, your friends, your guests and your vendors. We all come together for one thing - to celebrate you.
Having a good time: You’ll catch us joking with your wedding party, dancing while taking out the trash and playing games with your flower girl. What’s a wedding if it isn’t a good time?
Being your rock: We pride ourselves in being a calm presence on your big day. Things come up, stuff goes wrong - our goal is to handle things behind-the-scenes so you can focus on celebrating with your friends and family.

"Fourth Street Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding. The property is gorgeous, well maintained and the owners/staff were so helpful. They provided tables, chairs and plenty of outdoor lighting. We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue!"
