It’s a new chapter for Josh and Georgia Foster.
The Ririe couple managed Loft 745, a wedding venue off County Line Road in Rigby, for seven years. In December, the property was sold, and the decades-old building was demolished to make room for a long-term commercial project.
The Fosters partnered with Trellis Development in Rexburg for the project.
On this episode of “It’s Worth Mentioning,” Rett Nelson speaks with the Fosters about these changes. They discuss their reactions to the business’s demise, plans for the property, and why they chose to partner with Trellis.
They also talk about their friendship with the Tucker Family, the original owners of the Loft, and how Josh’s parents, Boyd and Laurie Foster — who farm more than 5,000 acres in Bonneville County — got into the wedding venue business, and the circumstances that led Josh and Georgia to get involved.
Josh and Georgia launched a publishing company in 2021 and have written several books between them. They’re working on a new book about their experiences at the Loft, which is slated for release next year.
Josh shares how a 2024 interview with EastIdahoNews.com caught the attention of a filmmaker, who cast him and his wife in a film that will premiere later this year.
Loft 745 was a visible landmark along U.S. Highway 20 for decades, and many have attended weddings there or gotten married at that location. The venue’s personal ties to thousands of people in eastern Idaho make this an episode you don’t want to miss.
