Springhill Pavilion was such an amazing place to get married. It was the perfect place to show all…read moreof our friends and family a picturesque montana scene. Everything about our experience was great. Chum was so nice and helpful and spent an hour and a half showing us around the property so that we could figure out if it was the right spot for us. I would say the only hard thing about this venue is the bathroom situation but it's easily overlooked with how stunning the property is. I absolutely love this venue for the perfect montana wedding.

Our experience here was so entirely terrible that my review can not fit in this space, no matter…read morehow much I try to decrease the word count. Nothing about our contract was honored, they completely took advantage of us and really, the entire mess led to the downfall of the entire wedding. Everything fell apart. All because of the owners of this venue. Even though we visited the venue twice and thought we knew Chum and Sally, it blew up in our faces. Please, please please. If you're thinking of using Springhill, message me for our story at ariellelee16@gmail.com and I'll be happy to fill you in. Please, learn from our experience--these people took advantage of us and even mentioned that the contract was a "milk and candle" (milk the customers, torch the contract) to several of our guests. Chum was creepily controlling and kept calling our B and B asking "where the bride was". They watched us say our vows from their windows and doors. Set up was actually where everything fell apart. It was so heartbreakingly bad we can't even look at our wedding photos. Plus, I'm sure many think that Chum especially seems so "Montanan" with his fun little stories (and the fact he owns a ranch and calls himself Chum)? Well, we found out that Chum comes directly from massive family money from out east--his family is Bank of Boston. And Sally? Not authentic either. Her family owns a fortune from catalogues. These two are wildly rich phonies taking massive sums of money just to let people walk on their grass. They do no clean up and provide nothing. Your money directly goes into their already fully lined pockets. Bottom line: our contract may as well not have existed. They broke everything about the contract and we were helpless to do a thing about it. All we are left with is a ruined wedding and complete heartbreak. My husband had a nervous breakdown after dealing with these people. Our one special day never happened. It was the worst day of our lives. And it's all because of the venue owners. One thing that was very disconcerting was that they seemed not to even remember they showed us around once before--if you do use this venue, get everything EVERYTHING written down in emails or recorded on your phone. I was half afraid Chum was getting dementia for all the things he promised and then recanted on. Sally too. This goes as deeply as the very day we chose for our wedding--they recommended a certain day and I booked it and later they claimed not to remember doing so and that it never happened. Again, contact me for the full story please. Learn from our experience. ariellelee16@gmail.com

The guests loved the scenery, Cindy is absolutely incredible from start to finish, and GRH made our day special. I could not have asked for better service, especially considering reviews I read for other venues. My eight bridesmaids and I also stayed in the treehouses on site, which were fabulous. Clean, comfy, spacious, and wonderful for the day-of or other out-of-town visitors. A++++++++++ times a million. If you're considering Gallatin River Hideaway, just commit and book it!

Over the year and a half between booking and our wedding, Jess was always available to provide feedback or vendor recommendations. Day of - our wedding was fantastic.

The barn is charmingly old but very clean and well-maintained. The grounds are peaceful, gorgeous and impeccably manicured. Dan & Nancy are warm and welcoming people and will see that you are comfortable and well-cared for. This is not an all-inclusive venue, but they have a number of excellent local caterers, florists, etc. that they can put you in touch with. Danica, their daughter, was our event coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly to make for a perfect day. The backdrop for the wedding, which was outdoors, was the Bridger Mountain range and made for a nice setting and outstanding pictures & video. Now for the lodge. Wow, our jaws dropped when we first saw it. A large and beautiful log home that we stayed at, just steps from the wedding barn. Several family members stayed with us and we all had plenty of space and privacy. A fully-equipped kitchen, basement billiard table, and TLC decorating touches all make for a cozy place to spend time. You could rent the lodge separately if you wanted to stay there and enjoy outdoor recreation or winter sports. You will NOT be disappointed.

Doug even went above and beyond by taking my 90 year old grandmother into the house while she waited for the ceremony so she didn't get too hot and then drove her down to the ceremony area.

The cabins that the bridal party get ready in are so cute and worked out great for us. The ponds and fountains were so pretty and perfect for pictures. I highly recommend the Ponds at Dry Creek in Belgrade!
