Exploring wedding venues near Missoula and Kalispell Montana that even the groom will dream about, can be a reality. Here at The River House we know what our grooms like; mountains, fishing, and raw nature.
Knowing your guy and what he loves (besides you) will guide your search for the right venue for both of you. The reason you two are together is there's some shared interests. Try to find the commonalities and look for it in a wedding venue. Look at what he likes and enjoys and see if you can find those things at or around some of the the wedding venues.
Many, Montana wedding venues are located in outdoor recreational areas. These areas can offer hiking, fishing and golfing. Because Montana weddings are often occurring over several days this gives the groom and others an opportunity to engage in those activities. Acknowledging what makes both of you happy will result in an overall satisfaction with your wedding celebration. For the days leading up to the wedding, creating events that help the groom to relax such as fishing will help to soothe his nervous jitters.
In exploring different wedding venues finding ones that have a great, groom space is important. Just as the bride desires a space to get ready and prepare herself so does the groom. Spaces that encourage relaxation and fun such as a pool table will allow the groom and his friends to connect and have fun. Having fun is what make a wedding celebration so worthwhile.
Often the groom is seeing multiple friends from different parts of his life and giving them activities to relax and reconnect over helps to create a positive experience for everyone. Generally speaking, women bond easily over conversation, where sometimes men need activities. Here at the River House not only do we have a pool table, 75 inch TV but fishing, hiking and even mountain biking.
Finding a wedding venue that offers a good return on your money appeals to many grooms. Weddings can be expensive so finding a venue that offers multiple wedding plans helps to stay within a budget. Keeping prices in one's budget reduces anxiety and disagreements. Being mindful of your partners financial concerns helps you zero in on which venues to tour. Considering if you both want an inclusive venue where they provide everything or renting the space and bringing in caterers is the way to go.

Involving your partner in all choices for the wedding makes it a joint experience. Sometimes the groom has not been thinking of planning their wedding for as long as the bride has, so encouraging him to explore his preferences may be necessary. Some basic guidelines in getting people to talk starts with open ended questions. For example, "Where would you prefer to have our wedding?" If that is an overwhelming question you can start with where they don't want it, by giving him choices, "Would you rather have our wedding in a hotel or outside by the river?" It's important that you let him speak. Ask the question then remain quiet until there's some answer. For those of you that have expressive partners this will be easier. It's one thing to ask but then to actually listen is what's important. After you have some feedback from him then offer reflective listening, "It sounds like you'd like.....". As with everything in a relationship it's all about compromise.
After finding out his preferences from location, type of venue, food, music and drinks to name a few have that all written down. Circle the ones where you agree then look at the ones where you two might differ. If there's some that you can let him decide let him have those and mark the ones you don't want to negotiate on. The rest should be examined and compromised on. When discussing this try to make it a relaxed and fun situation such as over a drink, tea or dinner, you get the idea. Here's one more consideration people do better in communicating and decisions when they aren't hungry or tired.
