Perfect Mountain Top Wedding!

Elkhorn Ranch was the perfect place for our wedding. The location alone is breathtaking, we were married on their 'Longview Vista' spot. It was an intimate ceremony, we had 20 guests on top of the bluff with us. We had views of Yellowstone National Park and to the south, we gazed upon Sage Peak. The food was incredible, Michael and his team really knocked it out of the park! This was exactly what James and I were looking for, we wanted a low-key, yet stunning wedding day to remember and Elkhorn delivered. We had a 5-day stay at the ranch, and prior to the ceremony, we enjoyed horseback riding and fly fishing with our guests. The days surrounding the ceremony were relaxing and the crew was amazing, no detail was overlooked. I definitely recommend Elkhorn Ranch to anyone looking for a beautiful and historic venue that can offer you and your guests a unique destination experience!
