FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

[30 June 2022 Update] We kindly request that guests RSVP on or before 31 July**. We understand airfares have been absolutely nightmarish and trying to plan a trip has proven even more difficult than usual. Please reach out to Kelly or Ethan if you have any questions or need any assistance with your trip itinerary/reservations!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Short answer is no, there is no strict dress code; simply business casual. However, given that we will be celebrating in the mountains of Montana, we are recommending a 'dress attire option.' For anyone who has seen the popular TV show 'Yellowstone,' think John Dutton / Beth Dutton. For those unfamiliar, think 'country western business casual.' Indulge us: For GUESTS at the wedding (not in wedding party/immediate family): Gentlemen: cowboy hats + boots, bolo ties, leather belts / big buckles, pearl snapped shirts, etc. are encouraged. Ladies: cowgirl hats + boots, leather belts / big buckles, leather jackets, fringe detail, etc. are encouraged. **Most, if not all, of the wedding party + family members will be changing after the ceremony into more casual/Montana-ish attire. So, GUESTS: go ahead + buy those boots, hats, bolo ties, belt buckles, etc!!!

Question

How long is the drive from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) to Big Sky?

Answer

Plan for a 60-90 minute drive. Once out of the Bozeman/Belgrade area [where the airport is], the majority of the drive is a winding road along the Gallatin River. Be aware there is a "dead zone" [no cell-phone service] portion of the trip as well.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Big Sky, MT has become a very popular summer destination and we recognize this event falls on a holiday weekend. While there are a variety of hotels in the area, we recommend Airbnb or VRBO [to include group rentals] for the most reasonable lodging options. Any hotel block codes will be listed via the 'travel + lodging' drop-down menu. Be sure that we will actively work with guests to secure reasonably-priced, comfortable lodging!
