How far is the venue from Bozeman?

The venue is in Paradise Valley, just south of Livingston. This is about a 45 minute drive from downtown Bozeman. Please answer the "shuttle" question when RSVP-ing, as we are planning on offering transportation to help everyone safely enjoy the event. If you would like to use the shuttle, please let us know ASAP.

What is the dress code?

We aren't ones to be picky, so lets throw out the word "Semi-Formal". Choose this time to dress up and show off a bit, the wedding party sure will be! Men- Nice button down shirt, sport coat, nice slacks or your fancy jeans. Ladies- sun dress, elegant pant suit, nice dress shirt and slacks. Feel free to show off your cowboy boots! No color scheme needed, wear fun print or plain- we want you to be comfortable! We will be having photographers and videographers, so dress the way you want to be remembered in 50 years.

What's for dinner?

We're doing a BBQ buffet! We'll offer a classic spread of food and accommodate food restrictions as needed. Please list these while RSVPing so we can make everyone comfortable.

What’s the bar situation?

We will have an open bar for the whole evening! Enjoy! The bar added gratuity to our bill, so please don't feel the need to tip the bartenders.

Do I get a Plus-One?

We tried to include all couples in our planning and have added them as such. If you feel like you deserve one, please text us to make your case.

Are kids invited?

Our venue and wedding are not going to be 'kid friendly' as there will be an open bar, some uncensored music options, and an open pond on the venue lawn. We would love to have parents enjoy a night out to themselves! HOWEVER- if the only way you can join us is to bring your children, we would much rather you bring them than not be able to come. Please be thoughtful during the ceremony and be watchful throughout the evening. Contact us if we need to add your children to your RSVP.

What's the weather like in June?

HA Great question! No idea...come prepared for anything between snow and 90 degrees. In all seriousness, Montana can be unpredictable. USUALLY it's mild warm weather in the 60s/70s and sunshine. It is very likely there will be afternoon thunderstorms, but they tend to pass over quickly. Our venue has a great indoor space that will be protected from weather, where the reception will be held. The ceremony is planned for outside.

Should I make a vacation out of this trip?

We may be biased, but we say YES! If you're making the trip out here, we hope you can make some time to treat yourself to a wonderful vacation. Bozeman is a fun town and there is so much to do! Yellowstone National Park is a bucket list item if you haven't been, and is only a 1.5 hour drive from town. Big Sky Resort is just 45 minutes away as well. We have listed a lot of activities in the "Things to Do" page. If you have other questions, we'd be happy to recommend more.

How far is the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch from the venue?

While they're both in "Paradise Valley", we're sorry to say that television has deceived you. The filmed ranch is located outside of Missoula, while the 1883 ranch is outside of Butte. However, the true Yellowstone Park is just 30 minutes south!
