If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this website.

2. About Live Oak Belgians

Live Oak Belgians is a working ranch located in St. Ignatius, Montana. Wedding-related services may include ranch venue use, horse-drawn wedding carriage services, ranch experiences, accommodations where available, and other services described on this website.

Certain horse-and-carriage services may also be provided at off-site wedding venues throughout Western Montana.

3. Website Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this website accurate and current. However, photographs, descriptions, pricing, package details, availability, amenities, and other information may change.

Information displayed on this website is provided for general informational and planning purposes and does not by itself create a reservation or binding service agreement.

4. Wedding Dates and Reservations

Submitting a contact form, requesting a ranch tour, asking about a date, or communicating with Live Oak Belgians does not guarantee that a wedding date or service is reserved.

A date is considered reserved only after the booking requirements communicated by Live Oak Belgians have been completed. These requirements may include a signed agreement, deposit, payment, or other confirmation.

5. Wedding Venue and Carriage Agreements

Ranch weddings, horse-and-carriage services, accommodations, and other booked services may require a separate written agreement.

That agreement may contain additional terms addressing matters such as:

Deposits and payment schedules
Cancellation and rescheduling
Venue access and event times
Setup and cleanup responsibilities
Guest and vendor requirements
Horse and carriage operations
Weather-related considerations
Alcohol and event policies
Property use and damage
Safety requirements
Other terms specific to the reserved service

If there is a conflict between these website Terms of Service and a signed service agreement, the signed agreement will control with respect to that booking.

6. Pricing and Availability

Prices and package information shown on this website may be updated from time to time. Availability is not guaranteed until a reservation has been confirmed.

Additional services, extended venue access, travel, accommodations, horse-and-carriage services, or other options may involve additional charges.

Pricing applicable to a confirmed reservation will be determined by the agreement or booking confirmation associated with that reservation.

7. Deposits, Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds

Deposit requirements, payment schedules, cancellation policies, rescheduling terms, and refund eligibility vary depending on the service being reserved.

These terms will be provided as part of the applicable booking process or written service agreement. Nothing on the general website should be interpreted as creating a refund or cancellation right that is different from the terms of an applicable signed agreement.

8. Ranch, Horses, and Outdoor Conditions

Live Oak Belgians is a working ranch. Ranch property, outdoor environments, animals, weather, terrain, equipment, and agricultural operations can present conditions different from those found at a conventional indoor event venue.

Visitors and guests must follow posted rules and reasonable instructions from Live Oak Belgians staff, particularly when near horses, carriages, equipment, livestock, restricted areas, or ranch operations.

Specific safety requirements and responsibilities associated with a booked event or horse-and-carriage service may be included in the applicable service agreement.

9. Weather and Outdoor Events

Many activities and wedding spaces at Live Oak Belgians are outdoors and may be affected by Montana weather, including rain, wind, snow, heat, cold, smoke, or other conditions.

Weather-related decisions, backup arrangements, postponements, cancellations, or changes to horse-and-carriage operations will be handled according to the applicable booking agreement and circumstances of the event.

10. Third-Party Vendors

Couples may arrange independent vendors such as caterers, rental companies, photographers, florists, musicians, DJs, coordinators, tent providers, and other service providers.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, those vendors are independent businesses and are not employees, agents, or representatives of Live Oak Belgians.

Live Oak Belgians is not responsible for the acts, omissions, products, services, pricing, availability, or performance of independently hired third-party vendors.
