Montana might just be the ultimate hidden gem for micro weddings. With its expansive skies, mountain peaks, and gorgeous lodges, the Treasure State is perfect for couples who want an intimate, adventure-filled celebration far from the cookie-cutter ballroom.
And the best part? You don’t need a traditional wedding venue. Thanks to a growing number of event-friendly rentals, you can rent an Airbnb or VRBO for your wedding in Montana and host it right there—with your ceremony, celebration, and weekend getaway all wrapped into one.
Something you should know about me is that I am a VRBO/Airbnb wedding venue super fan! This is what I did for my wedding and it was so magical – you can check out more about my experience in these other Airbnb wedding resources:
Whether you're envisioning a forest elopement, a backyard-style dinner party, or a mountain lodge gathering with your favorite 15 people, there’s a Montana rental that fits your vibe.
Let’s explore some of our favorite Airbnb and VRBO wedding venues in Montana, plus what to know before booking.
Yes! Many properties allow intimate weddings and elopements—but you must get host approval first. Always message them with your guest count and plans before booking.
Not usually if it’s private land and a small event. But check county regulations, especially for amplified sound, tents, or large rentals.
Most Montana rentals that allow weddings are best for 2–30 guests. Think elopements, micro weddings, and cozy retreats.
Some do—especially if the event is small, respectful, and ends early. Always read the house rules and clarify with the host.
Here are some of my top picks for properties where you can host a wedding. My criteria is pretty simple: allows events, has great space for a ceremony and reception, and amenities to make your event really special!
