Holds ceremonies and receptions
The Cabins at Blacktail was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. The setting is breathtaking — peaceful, scenic, and full of natural beauty. It felt intimate and special, and truly reflected the kind of day we dreamed of.
Julie was incredible to work with. She was so kind, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. From planning to the wedding weekend itself, she made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. Her warmth and attention made us feel so well taken care of.
We are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding here and would highly recommend The Cabins at Blacktail to any couple looking for a beautiful Montana venue with an amazing owner behind it.
The Cabins at Blacktail are the perfect combination of magical, romantic, and relaxing. This was just the venue we were looking for to host our wedding. The space cultivated the intimate, romantic experience we were looking for, while still being able to accommodate our medium size (130 guests) wedding. Working with Julie, the owner, was one of the best parts of the experience. She was extremely intentional with us from start to finish and she made the venue logistics seamless when it came to the planning process, coordination of events, and the entire wedding weekend.
