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 in the first place. They also discuss 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 also shares how a 2024 interview with EastIdahoNews.com caught the attention of a filmmaker, who cast him and his wife in a movie that will premiere later this year.
