Holds ceremonies and receptions
If you are looking for the epitome of the Montana location for your wedding or event, you absolutely must see Big Vista Ranch.
With unparalleled sweeping views of the Gallatin Valley and the Bridger and Madison Mountains towards Big Sky as your backdrop, this very special venue has it all and is one of a kind... It's breathtaking in every direction and Mark and Jayne have thoughtfully curated their incredible property to make any event one that is memorable and truly unique.
Elk are randomly heard in the distance while mule deer run through the fields beyond the fountains in the lake. Sweeping meadows of undulating grasses make for the most amazing glow hour photos. Flower gardens, water falls, and even a koi fish pond surround the beautiful venue that has attached covered pergolas allowing you to extend your dining and cocktail experience outside. Slate patios lead your guests to either the ceremony site by the lake or inside to sit before the warm glow of the fireplace under the stunning vintage crystal chandelier suspended in the venue while you dine or dance.
Warm up around the campfire as the mountains take on their alpenglow and the cool nights commence, and be amazed at the beauty of Montana. It is truly so special here. Big Vista Ranch is truly a gem in the center of it all.
They also have a beautiful home/lodge for guests to stay at and have additional lodging options also in the works on site in addition to the lodge.
I am an event planner in Bozeman and this is my very favorite venue for all of the reasons above, but also because Mark and Jayne are engaged in making the experience for their couples and clients one that they will never forget. They are incredible people so committed to creating a special place for very special moments. It is a true joy to work with them.
As a high end caterer for over 25 years, I have worked in just about every type of venue there is. Big Vista is heads and shoulders above the rest. Not only in the breathtaking views, mountain decor, and beautifully kempt grounds, but also in the way the owners have made the facility vendor friendly. This is such a key component that most clients do not realize has such a huge impact during your wedding day.
The owners, Mark and Jayne love what they do. Their passion shows in their personal care and attention to both you the client, and your vendors. The kitchen has been thoughtfully laid out with ample space to create a productive seamless experience for your caterer. This is an invaluable key component to ensure that your vendors are happy while they are taking care of you, your family and your cherished friends.
Big Vista, I can not say enough great things about my experiences there.
