My husband and I took our first vacation to Whitefish and absolutely fell in love with Montana on that trip. When we got engaged and started planning our wedding we had family & friends flying from all over that we thought we'd do it there to show them the beautiful state. We came out to visit venues in Whitefish & Bozeman and found a couple that we liked but nothing that we LOVED. I stumbled across The Woodlands when we were back home, we did a virtual tour with Elsa and immediately booked it sight unseen until the week of the wedding. When we finally saw it in person we were stunned at how much more beautiful it was in person. The drive in from downtown is absolutely gorgeous, you pull up to the venue and you're surrounded by trees. The Greatroom where we had our reception was meticulously maintained and updated, the dressing rooms were adorable and so spacious for all of the bridal party, everything just really made sense. Elsa & Jaslin were great to work with, I think Meaghan was our day of manager who was amazing and easy to work with. Everything just flowed so well. Great vendors really make a great wedding and you will not go wrong booking the Woodlands, and take it from us you can even do it sight unseen and be stoked. All of our guests voted our wedding one of the best, with a venue that was unlike any other they've been to. Thank you for everything!

Hart Ranch was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, Heather and the team were incredibly responsive and effective in their communication, always getting back to us quickly with any questions or requests. On the day of, Heather went above and beyond, running upstairs when she noticed our bridesmaids walking without bouquets and even setting up benches in the freezing rain and towel drying them for our guests. The barn itself is absolutely gorgeous - cozy and beautifully designed with a wonderful flow. We and all of our guests were blown away by the stunning setting.
