Yes!  If your caterer is providing the alcohol, they will need to have an alcohol license. If you are personally providing alcohol to your guests free of charge, no license is required.  We do charge a $450 alcohol fee.  

No. You are welcome to hire whoever you feel is the best fit for you and your event. We have compiled this list of trusted providers to help make decisions easier and more convenient for you, but there’s no need to stick exclusively to our recommendations.

The standard payment plan is your 30% deposit, and then monthly payments leading up to your date. Events may also be paid for in full upon booking, or custom payment plans can be arranged by request.

A 30% deposit and signed contract are required to book your date.

Absolutely! We’d love to host anything that you want to celebrate: anniversary parties, birthday celebrations, bridal showers, baby showers, corporate events, holiday family parties, girls night out, end of year sporting banquets… you name it, we want to be a part of the fun!

150 seated guests, more if standing. If you would like to accommodate more guests during the warmer months, you can open the Gathering Room doors for an indoor/outdoor event.  

This number may vary depending on how you set up the room and how many vendors you have that need space to set up inside the venue.  150 seated guests won't leave a lot of room for dancing, a DJ, or extensive decor, but 80-100 seated guests will leave a lot more room for a dance floor.  You may also want to keep in mind that an open house style reception will need less seats than number of guests invited. 

Contact us to discuss your plans and guest count and we can help you figure out how best to accommodate your needs.

We’d love to give you a better idea of what you can expect from The Hive. You can schedule a tour HERE.

The train typically passes through Pocatello twice per day -- once in the morning (usually between 10:00 - 11:30) and once in the afternoon (usually between 2:00 - 4:00). We recommend waiting until after 5:00 or 5:30 for a ceremony to avoid the train crossing during your vows.

Yes. All set up, take down, and clean up needs to take place within the rental period.

That’s up to you! If you are looking for a totally hands-free experience and would like us to handle the mess for you, a $100 fee has already been added to your bill in the form of a cleaning deposit. If you’d prefer to do the cleanup yourself, that’s fine too! We’ll refund your deposit upon inspection. A refundable deposit for damages has also been applied. Thank you for leaving The Hive in the same condition as when you arrived!

We aren’t available for events on Sunday.

The tables we offer are 8 feet long and 40 inches wide.  The Gathering room is approximately 48 feet x 35 feet, and there are 21 feet between the posts.  If you'd like to download a PDF of a to-scale drawing of the Gathering Room with to-scale tables included, click here.

If the weather is nice and there is no rain, then yes!  

Yes!  We want to make sure you have everything you need to keep your event tidy.
