The Meadow is our micro wedding, made for couples who want every person there to really matter: eight unhurried hours on the ranch for up to 50 guests, the historic hangar and the ceremony spot you fall for, all for $2,750.
Two quick steps. We'll write back within a day or two and tell you what's open.
Step 1 of 2
Your note came straight to our family. We usually write back within a day or two. If it's easier to talk, call us at (406) 349-2142.
It's a one-day wedding for up to 50 guests with eight hours on the ranch. You get the historic open-air hangar for dinner and dancing, one ceremony site of your choice (the meadow, the river, the pines or the pond), and photos around the venue. There is no in-house caterer, so you book your own caterer and your own vendors, from florist to photographer.
It's for couples who want a full, heartfelt wedding without a 150-person guest list, just your family, the friends who'd show up for you anywhere, and a long dinner under the string lights where you actually get to talk to everyone you love.

The hangar for your eight hours, one ceremony site, photos near the venue, parking, and access to the trout pond boats, campfire rings and trails. A cabin to get ready in is an add-on, so ask us about it when you check your date.
You book your own caterer, florist, photographer and other vendors, because the ranch has no in-house caterer. Extra hours are priced on request.
No, and we'd rather tell you up front. The hangar and your ceremony site are yours for the event, but our three cabins may be rented to other guests that day. With 340 acres around you, most couples never notice anyone but the people who came for them.
If you want the whole property to yourselves, the Bitterroot Celebration is a full day of exclusive use for $4,000, with every ceremony site and a cabin to get ready in.
The Meadow doesn't include overnight stays, but you can rent the log cabins by the night: the Aspen ($250) for two, the Ponderosa ($300) for four, the Cottonwood ($400) for eight, or all three for $950, plus cleaning fee and tax, with a 3-night minimum.
If you want the people closest to you sleeping on the ranch the night of the wedding, look at the two-day Mountain Escape, which includes all three cabins.

We had an absolutely gorgeous wedding at Alta Ranch... The views were amazing and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out, we definitely recommend other couples check out Alta Ranch for their wedding.
For weddings, family reunions, or any event you want to feel like a true Montana experience, Alta Ranch is the perfect place.
The photos don’t begin to do it justice. Spacious, clean, comfortable accommodations with incredible scenery made it the perfect place for families, friends, and weddings.
