Majestic WOW Vows – Big Sky Resort Big Sky, Montana

Big Sky Resort

by Sherra Meyers

GET ACQUAINTED

Big Sky Resort is nestled in, yes– you guessed it– Big Sky, Montana, ideally situated between Bozeman (main airport) and West Yellowstone National Park in southwestern Montana. The retreat has over 6 indoor venues from a relaxed western feel to trendy euro western along with an outdoor wedding tented pavilion (summer only) with a background of the magnificent Lone Peak, towering at 11,166 feet. If you’re feeling really venturesome your ceremony can even happen on the top of Lone Peak where you could literally exchange vows overlooking three states, two national parks and mountain ranges as far as the eyes can see.

WHAT WE ADORE

  • Everything in the town of Big Sky Resort is within walking distance.
  • The numerous hotel/condo pools become giant hot baths in the spring and winter.
  • Andiamo Italian Grille by night (celebrity hotspot) and the ‘not to miss’ Yeti Dogs by day.

There are two noteworthy, ‘Not to Miss” activities to do with your guests.

The Lone Mountain Ranch Sleigh Dinner Ride is a short shuttle ride away from the resort. You and your guests are shuttled through the woods on horse drawn sleighs. You’ll be singing nostalgic songs like “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” and “She’ll Be Comin’Round the Mountain” (you get the idea) as the gentle giant draft horses gently pull the sleighs up the mountain to the remote North Fork Cabin.
