Downtown Ennis offers a charming shopping experience with its unique boutiques, local artisans, and friendly atmosphere. Stroll through the heart of the town and discover a variety of shops featuring handmade crafts, clothing, and souvenirs. Stop into one our favorites, Willie's Distillery, for a drink or get an ice cream cone at the Sugar High.
If you’re looking for the ultimate Montana summer experience, floating the Madison River is a must. Just a 30-minute drive from the venue, this iconic stretch of river is perfect for a laid-back booze cruise with friends. Bring a tube (or rent one nearby), pack a cooler, and soak up the sunshine as you float through stunning canyon views and sparkling water.
Just under an hour from the venue, Virginia City is a historic gold rush town that feels like stepping into the Wild West (because it kind of is). This preserved 1860s town is full of charm, old-timey fun, and just the right amount of weird. Grab a scoop from the old-fashioned ice cream parlor, catch a hilarious live show at the Virginia City Players theater, ride the vintage fire truck between Virginia City and Nevada City, and pop into antique shops, candy stores, and the rustic saloon for a drink.
If you’re looking to unwind before or after the wedding festivities, Norris Hot Springs is the perfect spot. Known as “the Water of the Gods”, this rustic hot spring features a natural pool filled with fresh mineral water, live music on the weekends, and a laid-back Montana vibe. There’s also a local food and drink menu, including craft beer and cocktails you can enjoy poolside. Just a short drive from Ennis, it’s a great way to soak, relax, and take in the mountain scenery.
