Hey hey hey, my wonderful people who are planning and getting ready for your wedding! I know there is so much to do, a ton of things to think about, especially trying to include your little furry babes. I understand that these little monsters are just like family and that their part in photos and the ceremony is so important to capture! So, I did some research for y’all for what locations and venues allow or accept you to bring them along!! Below I have listed few awesome venues in Montana that will welcome them!
However!! Please note that venues will have different rules for dogs and that these rules may change at any time. With that being said it’s important to remember to be respectful when having your dog on anyone’s property! And it’s always good to still contact them to make sure it is still okay, before you book the venue.

Hopefully this helps and gives you a start to look at pet friendly venues here in Montana! Again, these places have been ones I have worked at in the past with pets allowed, but make sure before booking you still ASK to make sure they still allow it and what their exact rules are for where they’re allowed!
