Last updated on August 6th, 2024 at 04:28 pm
When it comes to finding a place to get married you either love the idea of a barn wedding or you absolutely hate it. It seems there is truly no in-between. So if you are the type of person who loves the idea of a Montana Barn wedding venue then you have come to the right place. If you are in the other camp, why did you click this link? 😉
In Montana, there is really no shortage of timeless barn wedding venues. It seems like every week I learn of another landowner who has decided to convert the 1800s barn on their property into a wedding venue. Because of this, it can be very easy to find an inexpensive barn wedding venue that is really just an old empty barn and not really a wedding venue yet.
As a wedding photographer, I have had the privilege to photograph a lot of different barn wedding venues across the state of Montana and have compiled a list of some of the best ones to make sure you don’t end up in some janky, old, manure-filled, building.
