Weddings tailored to you
We know each wedding is as individual as the two people who are joining their lives. So, we offer several basic packages. If you cannot find the perfect fit, we would be happy to customize something specific for your wedding needs. Whether your plans run to an all-inclusive Montana wedding venue with plenty of space for your ceremony, reception, and lodging or a simple Montana mountain wedding ceremony with a few close friends; we will customize our offerings to fit your style
Your Montana wedding does not have to remain a dream. Let our authentic western ambiance, our rustic, yet comfortable lodge and cabins, and the purely natural setting provide the perfect location for your Montana mountain wedding. Experience the Big Sky State's most authentic western wedding venue.
Authentically Rustic with full Service modern amenities
We know rustic wedding venues vary widely. From a rough cabin in the woods, a barn in a grassy meadow, to a fancy venue refashioned in rustic decor. We understand the appeal of an authentic western wedding location that meets the need for a full-service modern wedding venue. That is why our Montana wedding venue offers BOTH! Our wedding location sacrifices none of the authentic western wedding appeal, yet still provides you with full-service options for your rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception.
Set in Montana's spectacularly beautiful, yet pristine wild and undeveloped Centennial Valley, our Montana wedding location provides an authentic old-west backdrop for a wedding as individual as the two people joining their lives under our Big Sky. Towering trees surround our Montana wedding location. A placid lake laps the shore. A lovely meadow punctuated by aspens and bordered by a cheery creek bring the natural beauty up-close and personal. Rough barn board siding, an old log barn, cedar shakes, scattered antiques, and log furnishings are just a few of the enhancements that take our authentic western wedding venue to the next level.
At our Montana Wedding venue you will experience our amazing natural wedding backdrop. Fields of wildflowers, snow-capped Montana mountain peaks, plenty of south-western Montana sunshine, big sky wide open spaces, rustic buildings, placid mountain lakes, picturesque rolling hills, and cheery little creeks.
Our Montana wedding location overflows with natural beauty in every direction - the perfect foil for every nature-loving couple.

Payment Terms
A non-refundable deposit of 25% is required to reserve your dates.
Final payment in the form of check, cash, or credit card is due at the conclusion of your event
or at check out.
Cancellation Policy
Elk Lake’s prime summer season is only 17 weeks long, so we often have several requests for the same dates. With this in mind, once your reservations are confirmed, if you cancel within 30 days or less of your reservation, you are responsible for the full balance unless we rent to someone else. This is because we often turn others away for the same dates after your reservation was confirmed. However, we may be able to fill your spot with someone on our waiting list and then your payment will be refunded, minus your deposit. In the event that you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible so we can try to fill the reserved cabins.
Thank you.
