Planning your Montana LGBTQIA+ friendly wedding.


I grew up in Montana and am so thankful to call this beautiful state home. As a queer woman living in Montana I know the importance of needing to make sure the spaces I am in are a safe space. That's why I have done the work for you! So you do not have to guess when reaching out to venues if they are LGTBQIA+ friendly or not. Nothing makes my heart happier than being able to capture queer love. You are not just accepted here but CELEBRATED!

Gallatin River Hideaway


Gallatin River Hideaway is a great option for an inclusive wedding venue near Bozeman MT. Here is some helpful information from their website,


"The Gallatin River Hideaway offers your choice of 2 incredible venues, "Creekside" or "Bridal Veil". Both locations provide the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony and reception, party or corporate event. The Gallatin Creek winds its way among the tall cottonwoods and aspens and through both venues. Our season is June through September. We are LGTBQIA2S+ friendly. All are welcome here! Each venue is approximately 6 acres and are completely independent with separate entrances and parking lots. Both Creekside and Bridalveil offer the option of “indoor” or outdoor use. The pavilions can be opened for an outdoor feel, or closed for a cathedral atmosphere. Amenities at each include a dance floor, stage, gazebo, grassy meadows, Edison and fairy lights in the trees, two horseshoe pits, fire pit, outdoor seating, use of tables and chairs for capacity seating, a 2 tap keg bar and single speaker with mic & stand, full flush toilet and bathroom facilities, catering kitchen with running water, refrigerators, children's play area and lighting in the wedding meadow and pathways."
