Atanaha Event Center: The Signature All-Inclusive Experience

Atanaha Event Center is a premier, 12-acre private estate and wedding venue located in Bigfork, Montana. Tucked away at the base of the Swan Mountains, our estate offers a sophisticated, full-service retreat for couples who want a luxury Montana wedding without the logistical stress.

To celebrate the launch of our 2026 Signature Experience, we are now offering a limited-time, all-inclusive rate of $199/guest for our remaining 2026 dates. This revolutionary approach to wedding planning includes our venue fee, premium catering, open bar services, and—for the first time—full in-house floral design and collections.

Facilities and Capacity Couples can host up to 200 guests across our expansive property. Exchange vows in a cathedral of trees with the Swan Mountains as your backdrop, then transition to our 4,000-square-foot timber-frame lodge. The lodge features soaring cathedral ceilings, a massive 20-foot rock fireplace, and a full-service cocktail bar. For those seeking an alfresco celebration, our grounds offer elegant outdoor reception spaces under the Montana sky.

Our estate also features dedicated preparation spaces:

  • The Bridal Suite: A private, secluded sanctuary located away from the main lodge.

  • The Groom’s Barn: A newly renovated, high-end hangout featuring wood flooring, a poker table, and entertainment.

The Signature Services Atanaha is designed to be the "easy button" for high-end weddings. We believe your family and friends should be guests, not laborers. Our team handles every detail of the day, from the initial floral design to the final cleanup.

Our $199/Guest Signature Package Includes:

  • In-House Floral Collections: Professional floral design and decor managed by our team.

  • Full-Service Catering: Custom-crafted menus featuring local cuisine.

  • Open Bar Services: Premium liquor, house wines, and signature cocktails.

  • End-to-End Logistics: Complete setup, teardown, and cleanup.

  • Event Essentials: High-quality tables, chairs, linens, and plateware.

Cuisine & Spirits Our executive culinary team specializes in local Montana flavors, offering versatile menus that can be fully customized for dietary needs (Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian, etc.). Our bar service is equally elevated, providing professional bartenders, champagne toasts, and a selection of premium spirits to ensure your celebration is as seamless as it is spectacular.

Don't Hesitate-You Want To Get Married Here!

My husband and I were married at this BEAUTIFUL location, and we couldn't have had a better experience. The venue was so well located, close enough to Bigfork for guests to stay overnight at. It also had a gorgeous waterfall that we had our ceremony in front of. As for the reception, there was enough space for over 200 guests to fit comfortably, and the FOOD was absolutely delicious. We received MANY compliments for our reception meal, and we couldn't get enough of it. Bobbi, the event planner for us, was extremely easy to communicate with, and she worked tirelessly to make sure our day was perfect. Any concerns we had, she answered them right away as we prepared our wedding away from Bigfork. The owners are some of the most gracious people we have ever had the opportunity of knowing, and we truly believe you wouldn't be happier with any other place but here. It's true Montana beauty and charm, but also classy and elegant. We will be recommending this place to anyone and everyone!

Wow, what a venue! My husband and I are stationed in Florida, but wanted to get married up near his parents in Montana. Being military we are also very budget sensitive and didn't want to overspend- we never though we would be able to afford such an amazing, beautiful venue! Bobbi Lott and her family run the Atanaha Event Center- formally BruMar. They did such an amazing job- from day of coordination, to bar services, and the food! Best wedding food any of our guests have ever had- seriously, we are still getting compliments! Bobbi is always available to confirm information and help out in whatever way she can- we have nothing but good things to say- 10/10 venue! You'd be crazy to get married anywhere else!

Bruce and Margie (and team) were amazing!! They executed everything flawlessly and I couldn't be happier with how our wedding day turned out. Margie even got back to me when they were on an Alaska cruise! They definitely went above and beyond for us. We asked Bruce to be our officiant and he was great, our guests thought he did fantastic as well. And our catering through them was AMAZING. I would highly recommend BruMar to anyone looking to get married in the Bigfork area. It's unfortunate that Bruce and Margie are retiring, but they deserve it and they are passing on their knowledge to the new owners, so I'm sure BruMar will continue on with their fantastic wedding reputation.

Bruce and Margie are so wonderful. I didn't want a stressful wedding or to worry about details, and with Margie, I didn't have to! They go through everything with you, help you make the choices that suit your desires and budget, and they take care of it all. We received so many compliments on the venue and the food. Several people said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to. My whole family had a wonderful experience with the Solbergs and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Bruce and Margie are absolutely amazing, they help with so much! When we first met them we had already booked a venue and caterer but the venue cancelled on us 6 months before the wedding so we were very stressed. Seeing as how they require you use their catering, they worked with us to create the menu we had already planned for and the food was incredible! All of our guests told us how great everything was, from the atmosphere to the food and service. I am so happy we ended up having our wedding here, they took so much stress off of us and I cannot thank them enough!

Bruce and Margie at Brumar are absolutely outstanding. Wonderful, fun couple to work with, extremely detail-oriented and extremely responsive. I planned my wedding in Montana while living in Atlanta, so needless to say, we had at least 200 emails back and forth! Margie was so accommodating and always responded to my questions and needs within 24 hours. Our wedding turned out so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. They worked with us to make sure our every need was met, and then some. Not to mention - the food! Their son is the chef, and he is incredible. Some of our guests told us it was the best food they've ever eaten, period, not to mention at a wedding! Rave reviews for food, grounds, setup, building, service, everything. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

I want to give this venue 100 stars out of 5!!! If you are looking for a place to have a party or get married... this is the one! BruMar isn't just a wedding venue. Bruce and Margie Solberg, the owners, help guide you through every step of the planning process and make wedding planning a breeze. They take away the stress and support you throughout the whole thing...and they are very fun to be around too! Margie guides you on linen choices (orders and coordinates linens as well), table arrangement, decor, the entire ceremony, music recommendations, guestbook signing, and really any other wedding question you could dream of. Bruce is even an officiant and actually married us! They also have an onsite kitchen in which they cook all the food fresh for the meals and appetizers and they do all the bar tending as well. The food is honestly better than any restaurant I have ever been to. Margie also has a list of vendors that she recommends for different things from hair, nails, and makeup to photo booths, florists, and djs. She doesn't just give you the list of vendors, she will recommend who she thinks will fit your personality and your budge best. They also do all the setup and cleanup as well which is a lifesaver! I also really appreciated how up front and honest they were with prices. They are not the type of place that will shock you with added costs at the end. I feel I could write a book about how awesome this whole experience was! Our wedding was absolutely flawless and a lot of the credit for that went to BruMar!

Where do I begin with all of my raves about Bruce and Margie?! They were amazing to work with and made planning our wedding day such an easy task! Everything was organized with precision. The whole day was stress free and enjoyable. The food was phenomenal, the venue was gorgeous, and the whole day was perfection. Thank you Bruce and Margie for entertaining my whims, coordinating our day, and being such a joy to plan with! BruMar Estate will always have my highest recommendation!

I love when I have a wedding to shoot at Bru Mar, there are wonderful trees to find shade in for pictures. There is great light in the getting-ready areas, the actual venue itself is so beautiful too. I love how they can do an outside wedding or quickly switch it to an indoor wedding if the weather is poor. They have great food and seem to be so helpful. Bru Mar is an excellent choice for your Montana wedding!
