Had the best experience with The Venue at East Fork! We had to last minute change our previous wedding venue and we are so thankful we ended up here. Shannon and Joe were so accommodating and easy to work with. The airstreams, cottage, and venue space were clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed! Our guests loved this new venue. The views are immaculate and we are so lucky to have gotten married in such a beautiful space. Choosing The Venue at East Fork was easily the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! Highly recommend this venue!

I have been djing for over 15 years. I've been to many venues that offer different things for many occasions. In my years of service to the Great Falls area. I've come quite fond of the GFIA event center, due to its success in offering a full service for events. Mainly for me has been weddings, with the occasional school dances, Christmas parties, fundraisers and even birthday parties to name a few. Providing amazing food, drinks, and hospitality. The professionalism the staff presents made it all even easier to have my own personal wedding held at the venue for both ceremony and reception. If you happen to be looking into a place that can accommodate a large crowd, who provides delicious food and drinks, and will also go above and beyond to make sure your event is to the best as you envisioned it. Then your search is over. You found it!

As a caterer I have catered many events out at the Copper K Barn. It is one of my favorite places to cater weddings. The barn is great for small and large events and the grounds are beautiful as well as the views. When it came time to book my daughter's wedding there was no question that we would book with Lacee at the Copper K. The barn and the area surrounding the barn made a beautiful backdrop for pictures and we had plenty of room for our guests. Quite a few of the guests were able to take advantage of the camping, as well as close by airbnds. Lacee is so easy to work with and makes sure that you have what you need to make your event perfect. She has a great list of vendors that do numerous events each year out at the barn, which makes it wonderful for making your day special. I would definitely recommend booking your wedding at the Copper K, you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I took our first vacation to Whitefish and absolutely fell in love with Montana on that trip. When we got engaged and started planning our wedding we had family & friends flying from all over that we thought we'd do it there to show them the beautiful state. We came out to visit venues in Whitefish & Bozeman and found a couple that we liked but nothing that we LOVED. I stumbled across The Woodlands when we were back home, we did a virtual tour with Elsa and immediately booked it sight unseen until the week of the wedding. When we finally saw it in person we were stunned at how much more beautiful it was in person. The drive in from downtown is absolutely gorgeous, you pull up to the venue and you're surrounded by trees. The Greatroom where we had our reception was meticulously maintained and updated, the dressing rooms were adorable and so spacious for all of the bridal party, everything just really made sense. Elsa & Jaslin were great to work with, I think Meaghan was our day of manager who was amazing and easy to work with. Everything just flowed so well. Great vendors really make a great wedding and you will not go wrong booking the Woodlands, and take it from us you can even do it sight unseen and be stoked. All of our guests voted our wedding one of the best, with a venue that was unlike any other they've been to. Thank you for everything!

I would HIGHLY recommend Summer Star Ranch for your wedding venue, especially for destination weddings! Starr, Matt, and Alex were amazing to work with and made all our wedding dreams come true! I cannot put into words how grateful I am for all the hard work they did organizing and planning our special day. From the moment you book with Starr and her team, you can tell how much they love the work they do and how dedicated they are to making your wedding as stress free as possible while focusing on making it the most perfect day for you and all your guest! My husband and I had our destination wedding at Summer Star and did not get a chance to visit Montana prior to our wedding and due to work and our busy schedules. With all our friends and family traveling in from out of state, we were super stressed about planning and making sure our guests had all the information they needed before flying out. Not only did Starr and her team assist with contacting vendors and the wedding coordination, Starr also went above and beyond and put together a travel itinerary to put on our website and share with guests. Every detail was covered- from where to fly into depending on how long guests were visiting Montana, what hotels to stay at, things to do in Montana and near Helena, etc. We wanted our guests to not only enjoy the wedding, but experience Montana! Most, if not all our guests, planned their trip using the suggestions made by Starr and could not stop talking about how much fun they had! We had both our welcome party and wedding ceremony/reception at Summer Star, and you can tell this is a team of professionals. Every detail of our wedding weekend was perfect! I am so grateful for Starr’s attention to detail and truly capturing the vision I had in mind. Planning a destination wedding was stressful, but with the help of Starr my worries were quickly eased- she was quick to respond to all my emails and made time to hop on a call when needed. Starr made excellent recommendations for food, desserts, florals, drinks, DJ, and transportation that perfectly fit our budget. They had everything set up and were quick to adjust with any last-minute thoughts or details we wanted. The venue space is something out of a fairy tale. No matter where you are on the ranch, the views are simply breathtaking, and photos of this place do not do it justice! They also have a bonfire right outside the barn which allowed our guests to mingle away from the party or warm up due to the dropping temperatures at night. If I had to do my wedding again, I would book here in a heart beat!

Somers Mansion was absolutely phenomenal! It was great to have a rehearsal dinner, ceremony space, and reception space all in one, not to mention being able to walk up to our bedrooms when it was all said and done. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful and had everyone wandering around in awe to see. At every turn, there are beautiful views of Flathead lake and the surrounding area. Jasmine and the team were professional but laid back and really made us and our guests feel at home. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 in clarity of communication is because there were times in the planning process when I had minor questions and didn't get a response through email, text, etc. That being said, as she gets further along in this business I think that issue will resolve itself, as she started using a portal to streamline communication a couple of months before our actual wedding date. Overall, the space(s) are beautiful and I can tell that Jasmine isn't just doing this as a business, it is a true passion project and she loves sharing the historic building and grounds with others. I would absolutely recommend Somers Mansion to anyone who wants to have a perfect wedding weekend :)

About wedding venues in Montana

Why Is Montana an Incredible Wedding Destination?

Montana weddings offer the kind of jaw-dropping backdrops you simply can't find elsewhere. Picture exchanging vows with dramatic mountains framing your ceremony or celebrating in authentic ranch settings that capture the true spirit of the American West. The Meadows on Rock Creek lets you say "I do" in fields dotted with wildflowers while Sage Lodge positions your ceremony against the stunning panorama of Emigrant Peak and the Yellowstone River. What makes Montana venues truly special is how they seamlessly blend natural beauty with western heritage, creating spaces where your love story unfolds beside alpine lakes or under that legendary big sky Montana is famous for.

What Wedding Venue Types Define the Montana Experience?

You'll discover distinctive venue personalities across Montana that each offer their own flavor of western charm. White Raven Venue & Retreat in Alberton creates the perfect setting for intimate gatherings with indoor and outdoor spaces that showcase mountain views from every angle. If you're planning something larger, Star M Barn in Belgrade delivers authentic ranch architecture with gorgeous exposed timber beams that will stun your guests.

Need accessibility? The Big Yellow Barn near Bozeman offers fully ADA-compliant facilities with climate-controlled spaces that ensure wheelchair access without sacrificing any of that rustic Montana charm. Hardscrabble Ranch provides beautiful settings with convenient lodging options right on site while Sage Lodge gives you various spaces to choose from, each highlighting a different aspect of Montana's natural beauty.
