General Event Space | Maximum Capacity: 65

Our quaint country chapel has hosted weddings, funerals, and holiday programs since late 1940's. The church started out as an industrial building for mining operations up the valley, and when the mine closed local residents repurposed the structure to serve as a community church. In 2006, the church was donated to the Nine Mile Community Center and moved to its present location. The church can seat up to about 65 people. The building is not ADA accessible.

General Event Space

Constructed in 1915, the Stark Schoolhouse has long served as the heart of our community. It is a well preserved example of an early 20th century rural school designed in the Craftsman style. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and it is the main building of the community center. Today the 3,200 square-foot structure has two main upstairs rooms including a dining room with full kitchen, and an adjacent classroom. Downstairs holds a large open floorplan multi-purpose room. The dining room seats about 35 people at tables; the classroom seats about 55 people; the downstairs area will accommodate about 85 people. Mens and Ladies restrooms are located upstairs. The building is not ADA accessible.

Pavilion

Outdoor Venue | Maximum Capacity: 150

The Pavilion is a large open air outdoor structure (42’ X 27’ covered), with a built in bar, overhead lights, and electric outlets. Our Pavilion was constructed in 2012 using wood columns made from “sinker logs” salvaged from the Blackfoot River after removal of Milltown dam. The 50+ livestock brands emblazoned on the roof beams represent local ranches and families with ties to the Nine Mile. Each brand represents a unique connection to our valley's agricultural heritage. The twisting 16’ long western larch wood bar was saved from the famous Nine Mile House restaurant before it burned down. The Pavilion will comfortably cover about 150 people sitting in chairs, or 70 sitting at tables. The structure is ADA accessible.

Recommendations

Remote and Beautiful Wedding Venue - An Eventective User from Missoula, MT

When my then-fiance and I were looking at wedding venues, he recommended this place for our wedding, his having been to a friend's wedding that was here. I am so glad he recommended it! For me, the location was perfect: remote enough that the usual distraction of the internet could be forgotten and beautifully situated in a valley with tall trees and farmland surrounding it. Not only was the location amazing, the historical nature of the buildings was quite a draw for me. That I was contributing to the history of the place and helping keep it alive is something that I do not regret. Working with the people who care for the venue was simple and efficient. They were always prompt in replying to my emails (which there were many since I had not moved to Montana yet and was choosing a venue from the East Coast.) They were very friendly and easy to work with. Thank you so much! In summary: Why do I recommend this place? 1) Very affordable wedding venue. You need to have set up and clean up (delegation is key here), but less is sometimes more. 2) If you love nature and history, Nine Mile Community Center is the place to be! 3) The people who volunteer here are easy to work with and very friendly.

Really Recommend Nine Mile - An Eventective User from Huson, MT

Nine Mile was SUPER affordable for a wedding venue. They even accommodated our needs such as tables, chairs, space to park, space for the groomsmen and bridesmaids to get ready, and bathrooms. They are all volunteers and are so friendly and helpful. There's a pavilion and lots of space in the schoolhouse to move into in case the weather gets bad. There's even a bell to ring after you are married, which is a great addition. The location is also beautiful with a field, mountains, and a beautiful spot to watch the sunset.
