Fire season in Montana is still stunning DAVID CLUMPNER PHOTOGRAPHY
If all of these rules sound overwhelming and having amenities at your disposal sounds more your style, there are many wedding venues that take advantage of Montana’s magnificent outdoors without the headache. The Izaak Walton Inn located an equal distance between the east and west entrances of Glacier National Park offers a unique venue in Essex, Montana. The historic property is accessible by rail on Amtrak’s Empire Builder train, and guest accommodations include cabins, a lodge and repurposed luxury-rail cars. The Izaak Walton is also the perfect venue for a winter wedding with maintained world-class Nordic cross country skiing trails. The Glacier Park Lodge is just minutes from Two Medicine Valley in Glacier National Park. Built in 1913, the historic lodge is elegant and rustic in measure. The architecture features towering Douglas Fir timbers. The gardens are also spectacular, offering stunning views of Dancing Lady Mountain from the hotel grounds. They offer several outdoor ceremony locations as well as an outdoor pavilion along with 162 guest rooms. The Great Northern Resort is just a mile from the West entrance of Glacier National Park. Your guests can enjoy a complete Montana vacation experience. From staying in a cozy cabin to spending time on the river white water rafting or enjoying a fly-fishing adventure, your wedding will be a Montana dream your guests will never forget.

Any one of these Glacier venues comes complete with genuine Montana hospitality and will give your guests a true Montana adventure. “If a couple decides to choose a venue like Glacier Park Weddings at the Great Northern, your limits will be much greater than being inside the park. Our venue can hold up to 160 people comfortably,” explained Cathi Beers. “Visiting the park quick and easy for yourself and your guests. If you want to get those epic wedding photos, you can always book your photographer for a day before or day after shoot throughout the park. Or, you can take off during cocktail hour and get some shots on the shores of Lake McDonald.”
