About Habitat Events
Montana Wedding Planning, Event Design & Production
Habitat Events is a Montana wedding planning and event design studio, creating thoughtfully planned celebrations throughout Montana and beyond. We specialize in destination weddings, wedding coordination, event design, and full-service event production for couples and clients who value beautiful details, meaningful experiences, and a seamless planning process.
Our work takes us across Montana, from the mountains of Big Sky and the shores of Flathead Lake to the ranches of Western Montana and iconic destinations like The Ranch at Rock Creek, The Resort at Paws Up, Yellowstone Club, and Montage Big Sky, One and Only Big Sky, Flathead Lake Lodge, and more!
Rooted in Montana
Habitat Events was born from a love of Montana and a desire to create events that feel connected to the places where they happen.
From a mountain wedding in Big Sky to a ranch celebration in Western Montana, we believe the landscape should be part of the story, not simply a backdrop. We draw inspiration from Montana's natural textures, changing seasons, architecture, and sense of place while creating designs that feel elevated, modern, and personal.
We work with couples planning destination weddings throughout Montana, as well as families, brands, companies, and organizations looking for thoughtful event planning and production.
More Than a Wedding Planner
Habitat Events is part of a larger creative studio that includes Habitat Floral Studio and Habitat Rental Collective. Together, our businesses allow us to approach an event from every angle, from the initial concept and planning to floral design, tabletop details, rentals, installation, and final production.
This integrated approach means our team can create a cohesive experience from start to finish while giving our clients one trusted creative partner throughout the process.
Planning a Montana Wedding?
Whether you're planning a destination wedding in Big Sky, a ranch wedding near Philipsburg, a celebration on Flathead Lake, or an intimate gathering somewhere completely your own, Habitat Events is here to bring the vision together.
We create Montana weddings and events that are thoughtfully planned, intentionally designed, and beautifully produce
Jennifer Horsley, Owner/ Creative director
After years in the design world and a move to Montana, I made the entrepreneurial leap and founded Habitat on the belief that event design and coordination should be tailored to each client's unique story and vision; no two weddings are the alike and I want to keep it that way! We partner with each of our clients to edit through the fleeting trends to create a tailored and refined vison infused with special and thoughtful moments. While we love delving into the many details and design possibilities, our main focus is experience, your experience as a bride and groom, as well as the experience your family and friends will take away with them. At it’s very core this is what celebrations are, an amazing once in lifetime event, our goal is for guests to take this feeling with them well beyond the wedding weekend.
When I am not in the studio creating you can find me world exploring and soaking up inspiration (Africa you are forever my favorite!), wrangling my sassy hounds, and always, always thinking about weddings…what can I say?! I love them!!
I truly know all business owners appreciate their team but I really could not be more grateful for each and every member who brings Habitat to life. I am continually in a state of awe and appreciation at the amazing creativity, organization, communication, passion, and love that each of these ladies gives to the many facets of our work and especially and most importantly to our clients and vendor partners. I know you will adore them too!
Miss Ellie
Hi my name is Miss Ellie, I am a little outspoken. My duties include head of security, lap warmer, and unofficial dust mop. When I am not taking a nap on my bed (a girl needs her beauty sleep!) you will find me in the window enjoying the sunshine and watching the world go by.
We sadly said goodbye to our sweet girl in March 2023. She was incredibly loved and adored at Habitat and made every day so much better. Miss Ellie was one of a kind and will forever be in our hearts and will forever be our littlest Habitat mascot.
A portion of our proceeds are donated to those charities dedicated to helping animals and preserving their habitats:
ASPCA, Animal Hope and Wellness, The Virunga National Park Endowment, and The World Wildlife Fund.
