Question

How do I get to Coram, Montana?

Answer

We recommend flying into Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) in Kalispell—it’s just 15 minutes from the hotel and under 30 minutes from the venue. Renting a car is the best way to explore our beautiful backyard, including Flathead Valley and Glacier National Park. The next closest major airport is Missoula (MSO), which is about a 2.5-hour drive from the venue.

Question

How should I get around when I'm in Montana?

While Ubers are technically available, they can be unreliable—especially near the venue. To make the most of your time here, we highly recommend renting a car. It’s the best way to explore all the beauty that Flathead Valley and Glacier National Park have to offer!

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Our official dress code is "Formal", but we wholeheartedly encourage you to add a touch of Western flair! Think boots, bolos, and hats—have fun with it. Please note that all events will be held outdoors on grass, so we recommend skipping tall or narrow heels for comfort and practicality. Need a little inspiration for Western Formal style?
