Live Oak Belgians gives you several distinct spaces across the property to use throughout your wedding day. From an outdoor ceremony beneath the Mission Mountains to the barn, reception field, bridge, and Mission Creek, the ranch becomes the backdrop for the celebration you want to create.
Our outdoor ceremony area gives you open sky, ranch land, and expansive views of the Mission Mountains without needing to manufacture the scenery around you.
Use the barn as a gathering space, incorporate it into your reception, or keep it available as a covered backup if Montana weather changes your outdoor plans.
The outdoor reception area gives you room to bring in a tent, tables, chairs, lighting, food, music, and the other pieces you want for your reception.
Mission Creek runs through the ranch, with the bridge, water, trees, fields, and surrounding landscape creating some of our favorite locations for wedding portraits.
Our role is to give you the ranch, the spaces, and the setting so you have a beautiful place to build your wedding around.
You choose the vendors, rentals, and services that fit your guest list, priorities, and wedding style.
