Glacier National Park

If you’re looking for epic views that will take your breath away, Glacier National Park is the place to be.

This park offers numerous picturesque spots for your ceremony, from the serene Lake McDonald to the dramatic Logan Pass. You can learn more about the official ceremony spots here. The Park is perfect for elopements and very intimate weddings, however, there are a few spots for a larger event as well.

Located in the heart of Paradise Valley, Sage Lodge is surrounded by grasslands, rugged mountains, and the Yellowstone River. The venue has beautiful riverfront views and cozy lodge vibes. This venue offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, including the Ceremony Field with jaw-dropping views of Emigrant Peak and the Yellowstone Room with its floor-to-ceiling windows. Sage Lodge can accommodate both small, intimate weddings and larger celebrations!

Chico Hot Springs

Located in Pray, MT, Chico Hot Springs is a historic resort that offers a unique location for your Montana wedding. With 800 acres of rolling Montana land and stunning mountain views, this venue is a great choice for both ceremonies and receptions. You can exchange vows in the beautiful backyard, followed by a reception in the rustic dining room. The resort also features a day spa, making it a great spot for some pre or post-wedding relaxation and, of course, the Hot Springs!

Lone Mountain Ranch

Lone Mountain Ranch is as Montana as it gets with the cool western vibes and mountain views. Located near Big Sky, this venue features charming cabins, a historic barn, and breathtaking 360-views of the landscapes. Your guests can enjoy activities like horseback riding and fly fishing, making it a perfect spot for a weekend-long wedding celebration.

Big Sky Resort

Big Sky Resort is ideal for couples looking to combine their love of the mountains and adventure, with a touch of luxury. There are various picturesque ceremony and reception options for your wedding in any season. As a popular ski resort area, winters can be very busy here and potentially more expensive as well, which is something to keep in mind! But those awe-inspiring views of Lone Peak and the surrounding mountains are so worth it!

Montana Wildflower Weddings

Montana Wildflower Weddings is a charming venue located in Red Lodge. Surrounded by wildflower meadows and mountain views, it’s perfect for couples who want a romantic and beautiful nature wedding. The venue offers several ceremony and reception sites and it’s one of the closest mountain settings near Billings, making it convenient yet still secluded.

Foster Creek Farm

Foster Creek Farm, located in the heart of Montana, is a rustic and elegant venue that offers a peaceful and private setting for your wedding. This 130-year-old beautifully restored barn is nestled within a valley surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges. The venue is such a great choice for a rustic-chic wedding!
