Hail Columbia Ranch is the best place to get married. Angela and Joe are so easy to work with and are open to making you day as perfect as it can be. The setting in the Hail Columb...
ia Gulch with the Montana mountains and the Big Sky make for the best photos and the most amazing memories. If you choose to rent the house on the property along with the barn you have the most breath taking home to get ready in and a safe drive at the end of the night. I truly suggest this venue to anyone getting married in the Butte, MT area.

If you’re looking for an authentic western wedding, look no further than Hail Columbia Ranch! Angela and Joe are the perfect hosts and the spot, with the dramatic mountains as the ...
backdrop, is straight out of a magazine. The perfect blend of elegant and rustic decor makes a beautiful setting for your dream wedding! We had 225 people and there was plenty of space for dancing, dining, and chatting over drinks from multiple bar service areas. They provided tables, chairs, wine barrels, and even had linens/mason jars/extra decor on hand in case we forgot anything! We also rented their incredible house for the week which made set up and clean up a breeze and gave us a space to get ready, feed the troops, and find some quiet time together. There is something to be said for hands-on hosts who communicate well, help out, and allow flexibility in utilizing their space to alleviate the stress of having to put together (and take apart) all of the components of your big day. Joe and Angela really rose to the occasion! From tablescapes to florist/caterer and DJ meetings, aisle and arch placement, rustic ropes on the fence posts and antique dessert tables at the door, right down to the quiet sitting porches and outdoor fire pits and, of course, a lush green lawn for the essentials: Pong and cornhole—you could not ask for a more beautiful venue and amazing hosts! There wasn’t a single thing about our wedding at Hail Columbia Ranch that fell short of amazing! Thank you so much for EVERY LITTLE THING, Joe and Angela!

We own Rooted Tribe Hot Yoga in Butte, Mt. We needed a place to hold a last minute workshop that would accommodate a lot of people. Nobody in town had what we needed. We decided to...
reach out to Hail Columbia Ranch last minute. The owner was super friendly and very understanding of our situation. Not only did she allow us to use this magnificent barn, she also supplied firewood to keep us warm. This is a very cool venue. It has bathrooms, sinks, food and beverage coolers, and a full size bar. Oh did I mention it also has amazing views of mountains and fields. Lots of parking and only minutes from Butte. I highly recommend anyone wanting a super cool venue to give this place a try. 11 out of 10 ⭐️’s
