Montana Destination Wedding

Let’s set the scene: Melissa & Ryan’s Montana destination wedding is one of those pinch-me moments where everything feels straight out of an editorial spread but somehow even better because it’s real life. I’m biased, but obviously, Montana is the BEST place for a wedding! They decide on Whitefish, a beautiful little spot by the lake and close to Glacier National Park. They bring 16 of their closest humans all the way from Indiana and Pennsylvania to the wild beauty of Whitefish Outpost. 

Every little detail is dialed in. The flower arch? Not just an arch—asymmetrical flower pillars that look like they grew straight out of a fairytale. The table flowers are easily some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen! Agile Goat Flower Farm comes in clutch! Let’s talk about those amber goblets—who knew a water glass could be that sexy? The vibe is cozy-meets-elegant with different vignettes for the ceremony, first dance, cocktail hour, and dinner. The firepit crackles under a Montana sunset while everyone toasts with custom mugs from Lulu Pottery. Chef’s kiss.

And the food? Lady Lucky Hospitality busts out tomahawk steaks that are displayed on the bone, cut tableside—big Montana energy. For dessert, they didn’t just stop at cake. Oh no. There are cupcakes, macarons, brownies, cookies, and even lemon meringue pie. You name it, they have it.

Pro Tips on How to Have a Destination Wedding in Montana

Thinking about planning your own Montana destination wedding? Here are a few tips from someone who’s seen it all:

✅ Pick a Venue that Feels Like Home Whitefish Outpost was the perfect size for a micro wedding—plenty of space to spread out but still intimate.

✅ Plan for Unique Food & Favors Whether it’s tomahawk steaks or handmade ceramic mugs, pick local touches that feel special and personal.

✅ Make it a Multi-Day Experience From welcome dinners to next-day adventures in Glacier, give your guests (and yourselves) time to soak it all in.

The next day, because one epic celebration clearly isn’t enough, we all head into Glacier National Park for a little adventure session. Glacier is hands down one of the best ways to spend a post wedding adventure! They fly fish in their waders while the mountains reflected perfectly in the water—talk about a scene you never forget.
