Yellowstone Valley Lodge, about 15 miles south of Livingston between mile markers 38 and 39, markets itself
as a fly-fishing destination becoming a wedding venue
happened mostly by word of mouth, explained General
Manager Jim Adney.
We responded to demand, Adney said.
The Lodge offers lodging, catering and a riverside wedding venue with views of the Absaroka Mountains in the
background.
The benefit of getting married at the Lodge, Adney
said, is that for a smaller wedding, everyone can stay on
site. Another benefit is the full-service kitchen and dining room, which provides the catering for its on-site weddings. Lodge staff also provide help with wedding vendor
referrals and rentals.
Adney suggests making reservations a year in advance.
The lodges first responsibility is to its fishing clients, so
there are some summer weekends unavailable for wedding parties.
And then theres that scenery.
Were the only place in the valley right on the river
thats also a full-service hotel with a fantastic farm-totable restaurant, Adney said.
The Yellowstone Valley Lodge is closed in winter.
For more information, visit the Yellowstone Valley
Lodges website at www.yellowstonevalleylodge.com.
The Absaroka Mountains provide a dramatic background for outdoor weddings at the Paradise Valley
wedding venue, Deep Creek Range.
