Don't Hesitate-You Want To Get Married Here!
Bumpy road
We didn’t have a wedding planner but I sent the timeline in advance and left a copy with the coordinator, but it was still me who told the staff to stop passing appetizers and serving because people were supposed to be getting seated to start dinner and it was my dad that whistled and made the announcement.
We didn’t ask to have the top tier of our cake saved... but we didn’t think we had to. They cut up the top that we thought was going to be saved for us and our anniversary and left the partially eaten kitchen cake for us to take home. They also mentioned as my groom and I were getting dinner that they saved us appetizers (Yaay!) but i said save them and we’ll eat our main course quick, say hi to guests and get them later, then they were gone when we asked.
Despite us bringing Tupperware and asking to save leftovers there happened to be “none” even though we had about 10 no shows and I remember some of the staff talking about how they are always excited about Miss Patti Cakes’ wedding cakes so it begs the question if staff just eats the cake/ food.
Overall I wish we had a planner to help coordinate the venue. Bobbi, the Chef, and staff are all super nice but I think just too busy to plan in the detail I wanted before hand.

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!
