It was literally magic…

I can’t even express how amazing our wedding was because of this venue and Starr and Matt. I jokingly told Starr she could have my first born because of how incredible this day and process was for us. We planned this completely out of state and only had one visit to the ranch, which was the day we decided this was our venue. Starr gave us so much direction and so many tips to get us going, but we had complete freedom to coordinate whatever we wanted. Starr was always so responsive during the 8 months of planning. We did our rehearsal dinner at the venue, which was great for our most important people to lay eyes on this magical place ahead of time. Wedding day was so seamless. Starr and Matt were buzzing around and never once came to me with issues. They either figured them out behind the scenes or with my point person bridesmaid and everything turned out better than I could have asked for. Our guests have been raving out our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. If you’re considering this venue, just know that you can’t go wrong. There’s such a personal touch when you work with these amazing people and this amazing venue that I truly feel we could not have gotten elsewhere. When we looked at other venues, they felt so cookie cutter and impersonal. I could go on and on, but basically there’s no doubt that this was the perfect day. I am so grateful to Starr and Matt for making a dream I didn’t even know I had come true!

Amazing party planning/ setup!

I’d give 10 stars if I could! Summer Star Ranch provided party planning and decor for my bridal shower in New York. Starr worked diligently to ensure the venue was set up just right, spent hours creating beautiful centerpieces filled with dozens of stunning flowers, and made sure no small detail was left behind. I mean, she even set up a typewriter and had a paper placed with mine and my finances names printed out as if it was just typed. Starr utilized antiques, florals, and personal pieces to create the bridal shower of my dreams! She left no part of the room untouched, making sure to decorate even the bar and the fireplace. She helped to create fun bridal shower games, menu cards, and even made the place cards herself. I highly recommend Summer Star Ranch for all things wedding to all brides!

Couldn’t have picked a better venue!

We LOVED Summer Star Ranch! I cannot say enough great things about this venue and the amazing owners! Starr and Matt were so kind and helpful from the day we toured the venue, up until our Big Day! We were looking for an affordable venue that portrayed the beauty of Montana while allowing some creative freedom to make our wedding our own. We were able to do just that at Summer Star as we DIYed most of our decor and brought our own self-serve alcohol as well as hired our own vendors (with helpful suggestions from Starr!). They even let us store our trailer with all the decor onsite a week before our wedding day so that we didn’t have to haul it to our bachelor/bachelorette parties earlier that week. I probably asked Start a million questions, but she was always quick to respond and gave helpful suggestions and ideas! On the day of the wedding, Matt frequently popped in to ask if we had any questions or needed anything while we were setting up. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and our guests raved about the views from the venue and even the drive to the venue! We wanted our wedding to have a Montana-feel without being super western and that’s exactly what we got with this venue (you could also make it more western which is the best part!). We loved the choice of two ceremony spots as well as onsite ice and a prep kitchen. The girls chose the Family Cabin as the bridal suite and had the most relaxing and peaceful morning getting ready as we watched the horses graze in the pasture right outside the window! The guys enjoyed the glamping tent as well, even with 7 guys they did not find it to be crowded and specifically loved the plush bathroom inside the tent! Parking at the venue was a breeze for all of our guests and Starr & Matt even came down to help facilitate parking to make it super seamless. Overall, we had the most perfect wedding at Summer Star Ranch and our favorite part was the venue! If you are on the fence about booking this venue- I recommend just setting up a tour and seeing it for yourself! Once we stepped foot on the property it was a easy yes for us! Thank you Starr & Matt for a wonderful wedding experience!
