AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! If you plan on joining us in Montana, we recommend you book your flight ASAP! Flights are currently an average of $450 out of Southern California and will increase as we get into next year. If you need help finding the most affordable flight from your city, please text Maddie and she will happily help you!
We recommend renting a car if you plan on joining us white water rafting, would like to explore or if you plan on visiting Glacier National Park! We are providing roundtrip accommodation for the wedding day but not on Friday's welcome party. There are Ubers in Whitefish just not in West Glacier where the wedding will be on Saturday :) The cheapest car rental in the area is through TURO! We recommend you book pickup at the car at the airport
This is an adults only wedding. The only children at the wedding will be our niece and nephews who are in the wedding. We hope you can understand! Please let us know if you are planning on bringing the kiddos to Montana and we can help find reliable childcare.
YES! Glacier National Park (specifically Going to the Sun Road) is a must while you are in this part of Montana. If you plan on visiting the park from 7am- 3pm, specific passes are required. More details in the "things to do" section.

The weather in Montana is very unpredictable but I would prepare for it to be HOT due to a heat wave they are experiencing. It could be as hot as 90+ degrees a day and around 10pm it drops down close to 55-60 degrees. The sun doesn't set until 10pm! Please dress comfortably to stay cool!
