What does exclusive use mean at Alta Ranch?

It means the whole property is yours: the hangar, every ceremony site, the trails, the pond and the cabins, with no other weddings, events or cabin guests on the land. Three of our four packages are exclusive use: Bitterroot Celebration ($4,000, one full day), Mountain Escape ($6,500, two days) and Montana Legacy ($8,500, three days).

The Meadow, our 8-hour micro wedding, is not exclusive use. The hangar and your ceremony site are yours for the event, but the cabins may be rented to other guests that day.

Why exclusive use matters on the day

Nobody's wandering through your photos. The music doesn't need to stop for another group's schedule, the getting-ready cabin is yours, and your guests can spread out across the meadow, the river and the pond without bumping into strangers.

We keep the calendar small on purpose, which is how the land stays quiet enough to feel like yours.

Mountain Escape includes one night in all three cabins and Montana Legacy includes two, so 14 of your people sleep on the ranch. Add on-site camping for extra guests (priced on request) and the weekend stays in one place.

Bitterroot Celebration is exclusive for the full day and includes a cabin to get ready in during the day.
