Why Have your Wedding at Copper Rose Ranch?
A wedding at Copper Rose Ranch is ideal for many reasons. The first thing that comes to mind is the incredible views of the mountains that couples will get to have in their wedding photos. In the summer the outdoor ceremonies are breathtaking and in the winter the indoor barn ceremonies are cozy and full of beauty. The barn at Copper Rose Ranch has been beautifully and intricately remodeled to provide a reception and ceremony space that has amazing natural light and modern touches.
If the first two items didn’t convince you that your wedding should be at this venue, then let’s talk about the on property cabins just seconds from the barn that allow you and your guests to stay on site, have a space to get ready, and a bed to fall asleep in after a long night of celebrating. It’s truly a venue that was designed for weddings and destination clients.

The outdoor ceremony area has the most breath taking views of the mountains, and is set up along the river. If you are getting married in the summer it is the best option.

The 100-year- old renovated barn is another option for your ceremony, especially if you are getting married in the colder months. The indoor ceremony area has large windows that provide beautiful natural light, and offer views of the mountains.
Reception Site Options
Option 1: The barn is the main reception space. It has a beautiful dining area, bar, fireplace, lounge area, etc. Because the barn is so large there is a lot of room of dancing, cocktail hour, mingling, etc.
The Best Time of Year to Get Married at Copper Rose Ranch
In my personal opinion the best time of year to get married at the ranch is summer and fall, basically June-early October. Having your wedding this time of year will most likely allow you to have your ceremony outside, stunning sunsets, and the ability to really use the venue to the fullest.
I will warn that usually in August/September Montana can get smoky from wild fires, so keep that in mind when choosing a date.
Fall can also be so beautiful with all the vibrant fall colors Montana gets. You do lose a lot of sunlight in the fall, so that is another aspect to keep in mind when planning. If I were to pick a month it would be July hands down.
Lastly I wanted to mention that if you are wanting to get married in the winter, there potentially can be a discount, most wedding venues have a different rate for the “off season”/winter.
Where to Stay Near Copper Rose Ranch
While Copper Rose Ranch does have cabins on the property that can help accommodate guests, there are a lot of hotels, Airbnbs and resorts in the surrounding area too.
Personally I would recommend that guests stay in and around the Bozeman and Livingston area, so that way they are not too far from the ranch.
There really are so many options from chain hotels to quirky local places to stay, here are a few I would recommend!
