Say “I do” to a naturally stunning event. At The Resort at Paws Up, you’ll find 37,000 acres of pure possibility and a plethora of ranch wedding venues. From black-tie affairs to rustic-chic soirées, Paws Up can help you create the ideal festivities to begin your lives together in exactly the way you’ve envisioned. You’ll exchange vows surrounded by friends, family and an untouched wilderness. You’ll get carried away with unbridled adventures—and enjoy unparalleled luxury at every turn.
Take a moment now to imagine the perfect size of your party: are you rounding up everyone for a Big Sky celebration, dreaming of a little romance on the ranch or are you planning a Montana-style elopement?
You love each other to the moon and back. Now it’s time to gather all your friends and family in a place where you can truly get a sense of the magnitude of your feelings. Raise the roof with the wedding of your dreams. Create memories not just for the bride and groom, but for everyone on your guest list. Your flower girl will never forget her first horseback ride. Your grandfather can make a toast in the beautifully weathered, elegantly restored Bull Barn. With a virtually endless list of activities to keep everyone busy from morning until night and a variety of venues right here on the ranch, no two events are ever the same. For parties of 20–150.
Welcome your nearest and dearest with an intimate affair in a magnificent setting. Here, smaller celebrations, even micro-weddings, offer luxuries you can’t find anywhere else. With spacious accommodations and more than 70 outdoor adventures to experience together, this is no mere backyard wedding. You and your guests will dine on cuisine that rivals a Michelin-starred restaurant while surrounded by breathtaking mountains. We make a bit of magic, where people create lasting bonds over a horseback ride through the meadows or a dinner under the stars. More than a wedding, it’s the union of two loving families. For parties of 3–99.
It’s true that love is in the details. But when it comes to your wedding day, you’ll have nothing on your mind except the event itself. All the little things we do to make your special event a huge success are packaged for your convenience.
The Bull Barn, Lookout Rock, the Morris Ranch House Lawn, the Saddle Club (Equestrian Center) and the Wedding Knoll
