The Wedding Website of Ari Davis and Colten Braybrooks
[Pictured: Colten & Ari on the North Fork in Polebridge] First off, we greatly appreciate your effort to spend this day celebrating with us. It will take some planning for flights, rental cars & lodging but we hope you'll enjoy Montana! Polebridge and the surrounding area (referred to as the North Fork) is an off the grid community, meaning that some places will not have running water and electricity will be solar or generator power so it will be important to conserve resources. There are a variety of lodging options from tent camping, to rustic cabins with no electricity and an outhouse, to lodges with indoor bathrooms, showers and a kitchen. If you travel a little further you'll find more amenities and gorgeous lodges and chalets in GNP, a little further and you'll find hotels in West Glacier or Columbia Falls. Another option is RV rentals from Kalispell. Please note that all lodging will book up quickly, so book soon if you find the place of your dreams!

Flight

Kalispell Airport (FCA)

The closest airport is in Kalispell, MT, however prices flying into this airport will be the most expensive. The drive to Polebridge from the airport is about 57 miles or 1:30 minutes.

Flight

Missoula (MSO), Helena (HLN), or Spokane (GEG) Airport

There will be cheaper flights into these airports, but will be a much longer drive. The drive to Polebridge from: Missoula is 154 miles/ 3 hr 15 mins Helena is 239 miles/ 4.5 hours Spokane is 301 miles/ 5.5 hours

Hotel

Glacier National Park Lodges

GNP has lots of lodging within it. I would recommend staying near the West Glacier entrance since its closer to the ceremony. Look at Lake McDonald Lodge or Village Inn at Apgar. Also, you WILL want to book early since lodging in July in GNP will fill up VERY fast. Travel time: 25 miles / 50 minutes (mostly because the speed limit along the dirt road is 25mph).

Polebridge

While lodging in Polebridge is closest to the venue, It is important to take note that Polebridge is an off the grid town, meaning that some places will not have running water and electricity is going to be solar or generator power. With that being said it will be very important to conserve energy and water. Things that use a lot of electricity may be prohibited (ie. Hair dryer or air conditioning).
