Where the spark becomes the promise…

About Us

Our Venue

Ember & Altar is a wedding venue born from the quiet beauty of western Montana—where big sky, open fields, and the glow of golden evenings create a setting that feels sacred, warm, and unforgettable. Our name reflects what we offer: the ember—a place glowing with intimacy, warmth, and story; and the altar—a space set apart for covenant, devotion, and the beginning of something new.

Nestled in heart of the Flathead Valley on 60 private acres, with sweeping mountain horizons...our 6000sqft heated and air-conditioned venue space blends modern barn-inspired architecture with Montana’s natural elegance. From thoughtfully designed bridal spaces to wide-open ceremony lawns and panoramic views, every detail is crafted to frame the moments that matter most.

Whether you’re dreaming of a quiet intimate exchange for 30 or a lively celebration for 300, we’re dedicated to creating a wedding experience that feels deeply personal, beautifully curated, and utterly true to you. At Ember & Altar, your story unfolds under the timeless beauty of Montana’s big sky.

Words from Couples

"Ember & Altar is an extraordinary, deeply welcoming venue—absolutely perfect for a Christ-centered, community-focused wedding. Our wedding day there was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The setting itself is breathtaking, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the Schallock family. Their generosity, hospitality, and hands-on support was remarkable from start to finish. They cared for every detail with such sincerity that our day flowed effortlessly, and we genuinely could not have done it without them.

The Schallock family didn’t simply host our wedding; they poured their hearts into it. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care were evident in every interaction. They anticipated needs before we even voiced them, supported us through both the emotional and logistical moments, and moved with such grace and servant-hearted hospitality that we felt completely free to be present in our day. Their involvement wasn’t just helpful—it was foundational to everything going smoothly and feeling so deeply meaningful."
