Montana Wedding Venues
There is no place that compares to the beauty of our mountainous environment here in Montana. It is known as Big Sky Country. The wide expanses of our valleys at nearly a mile above sea level provide incredibly wide panoramas as they juxtapose the rugged beauty of our mountains. These views provide a breathtaking backdrop for any wedding regardless of size and scope.
Here in Montana you will find a wide range of professional services to make your wedding as elaborate or as tastefully simple as you like. The wedding venues offer every feature of our beautiful state; riverside, lakeside, mountain valley and even mountain top lodges for those that require thin air!
Take a stroll though my list of favorite Montana Wedding Venues. Below some of the venue descriptions you will find a link to a recent wedding that I photographed there. Enjoy the view!
Activities abound here in Montana. When guests come to Montana for a wedding, the obvious thing to do is to make it into a vacation and enjoy our out of doors activities. River rafting, back country hiking and camping, horse back riding and dog sledding, world class trout fishing, skiing, mountain biking, golf, floating down the Yellowstone and swimming in the brisk clean waters. And for those that want to experience our spectacular National Parks, we are bordered by Yellowstone National Park to the South and Glacier National Park to the north.
