About this venue
McVey Homestead is a historic property in Montana's Bitterroot Valley where weddings become weekends, and weekends become the kind of memories families talk about for decades.
This isn't a barn (although we have one). It's a historic homestead — 1897 farmhouse, two-story Heritage Barn, a 165-year-old willow tree that's seen a thousand stories. Watched over by the Bitterroot Mountains doing the whole majestic mountain backdrop thing. The whole property is exclusively yours from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.
We built McVey for couples who don't want a wedding day. They want a wedding gathering. The kind where Grandpa brings the lager, the kids run barefoot, the first dance leads to the dancing, and quiet moments with your closest humans around the fire after everyone has left.
Every package includes:
- Exclusive use of the entire property — barn, willow, gardens, ceremony lawn, fire pit, dining hall
- A 2- (or 4-) night stay in the farmhouse (sleeps 6) — you're already there, no rush, to travel coordination
- Free on-site camping and RV space for extended family and friends who feel like family
- 1,000+ curated décor pieces, vintage furniture, ceremony arches, and reception seating for up to 160 guests
- Setup, day-of support, and cleanup — you show up, we handle the rest
- One flat rate. No hidden fees.
Three ways to celebrate:
- Thursday–Saturday ($6,750) — a long weekend with your people
- Saturday–Monday ($7,750) — start with the celebration, end with a brunch sendoff
- The McVey Retreat: Thursday–Monday ($12,000) — five days, four nights, all of it yours
"It was dreamy, everything felt effortless, like we were taken care of all along the way. Not having the hassle or added expenses of everything else that gets tacked on later took all the stress out of planning and budgeting — I felt way more relaxed by the time my wedding actually came around."
— J & P, July 2024
McVey is a vibe. A homecoming. A weekend that feels like a vacation. We'd love to show you around.

Just the most magical place and people!
When we arrived at McVey to tour the facility for our wedding, we knew within moments that it was the spot for us. Brenna and Joe were so incredible every step of the way. The place has so much love and character embedded throughout. It just worked. Our wedding went off without a hitch and all the way we felt like we had dear friends helping us sort things out. A truly special experience at McVey!

McVey is…. Perfect
Though married in Alaska in the winter of 2024, my wife and I decided we wanted to have a ceremony and gathering for family and friends back home in Montana in the summer of 2025. When looking for venues in the Missoula, MT / Bitterroot Valley area, one site immediately stood above the rest.
McVey Homestead was every bit of beautiful rustic Montana that was promised and more than we could hope for. The property is stunning, the buildings well kept with historic charm, and the whole experience somehow felt right out of a movie and at home all at the same time.
Aside from the physical location, Brenna was simply terrific. From booking the venue and tailoring the times to our specific needs, to a huge support the day of the event with decorations, setting up chairs, sound systems, walk throughs… simply above and beyond.
It all made for an amazing day, life long memories, and only left us wanting more of McVey (we should have rented the farm house for the night.) I cannot recommend McVey enough, for any venue need. We WILL be back the second we can come up with an excuse!

The dreamiest venue for a Montana wedding
This wedding venue couldn’t have been more perfect for our classic Montana wedding. The giant old willow tree creates the perfect canopy for adorable picnic table seating area. Though the weather turned on us at the last minute, we were able to quickly adjust and move our dinner seating inside the dining hall/old chicken coop! We didn’t have to rent any decorations, as the venue has a large chef full of all the decor you could need, from table runners, to candles, to easels for our welcome signs! All I had to buy was my flowers. Brenna and the gang were so kind and helpful along the way, and on the day of! 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be back for our next big occasion ;)

Perfect venue!
We got married here on a Tuesday in June and it was seriously amazing and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding. There was even wild deer in the pasture next to us who watched the whole ceremony. Insanely gorgeous mountain views, beautiful trees, the picnic tables were set so beautifully they looked so elegant and simplistic. The house on the property was so comfortable to use to get ready in. Seriously could not think of a single thing to make this place better, it's already perfect. Check out @soiree99design and @jacilynm on Instagram for design and photography of this venue from our wedding 😊

Amazing venue & wonderful to work with
When planning my wedding I had always envisioned a big white barn with plenty of space for our large families, and when a family friend told me to look up the Homestead on McVey I knew it was perfect.
Julia and her mom were so great to work with, let us come by for multiple viewings of the space, and were quick to answer any questions we had and offer help along the way.
The location is absolutely gorgeous, and we held both our ceremony and reception here. The space was big enough to fit our guest list of 250+ but also felt intimate and cozy. Truly could not recommend this venue enough!!

Perfect authentic Montana venue
This was the perfect venue for our wedding this past summer. We wanted something that would show off the beauty of the bitterroot valley without being overly western themed (e.g. no red barn with cowboy boots and hay bales). The staff were amazing to work with and couldn’t be happier with the choice.

Amazing venue & value!
Homestead on McVey was an ideal venue for our wedding of less than 100! They include the tables and chairs and other decorations that you can use to really help minimize added rental costs. The venue is ideal if you want to have an outdoor ceremony and reception, but have the barn as a backup for bad weather or to setup your band & dancing which is what we did! The rental house was also amazing to stay in the night before and night of the wedding for a small added cost. Julia and Cindy were the nicest people and so helpful before and during the wedding!!! Highly recommend this venue, the backdrop of the Bitterroot mountains to the west is just beautiful for an outdoor wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
