Destination Weddings

No matter where your travels take you or what your reason is for being here, the fact of the matter is this: Montana is good for the soul. And sometimes a visit to our neck of the woods is just what you need. Our corner of Montana offers a special kind of bonding power that comes from combining natural beauty with uninterrupted quality time, which is just one reason Glacier Country is a perfect special-event location.

Glacier Country makes a beautiful setting for a destination wedding. Montana offers an abundance of “I do” options: wedding venues like quaint inns, lakeside resorts, luxury ranches and mountaintop retreats. Local vendors—including wedding planners, photographers, food trucks, bakeries and caterers—can assist with planning the wedding of your dreams.

CAR RENTALS: KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Due to a nationwide shortage, it may be challenging and more expensive than normal to reserve a car.

Call the rental agency’s local number to ensure the most up-to-date availability, rather than referring to a website.

Car rental companies are giving a preference to longer rentals because they have limited staff to clean and service shorter rental windows.

Uber and Lyft are available at Glacier Park International Airport and Missoula Airport, though they are usually not a viable option within the park.

If you are unable to secure a rental car, try Turo carsharing service.

Many hotels have a shuttle service to get you to and from the airport, but you should confirm this with your reservation.

Visit glaciermt.com/car-rental for more information on car rentals and a list of car rental agencies.
