No, we rented a bus service to transport guests to and from the Best Western Plus GranTree Inn in Bozeman. The bus will depart at 12:30 PM, so we advise arriving by 12:20 at the latest. There will be two returning shuttles: one at 8 PM and one at 11 PM. There are several hotels located in this area, so you are not beholden to the Best Western if you are willing to take a quick walk to/from the bus. See the Travel tab for more information.
The shuttle will leave the Best Western Plus Grantree Inn (1325 N 7th Ave) at 12:30pm. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to ensure you don’t miss the bus! We will only have one bus ride up to the ranch.
We will have two bus options retuning to Bozeman. The early bus will depart Hardscrabble Ranch at 8:00pm. The last (and last) bus ride back to Bozeman will be at 11:00pm.
The venue is ~35 minutes without ski traffic from downtown Bozeman. With ski traffic, you can expect the drive to take ~45 minutes.
10-15 minutes. It is a very easy airport to navigate.
The weather is very unpredictable in the winter. The temperatures could range from -20 F and snowing to 40 F and sunny... It is not uncommon to have winter weddings in Montana, and we will plan for all scenarios to ensure your comfort.
We are fortunate enough to live here! The owners of the venue are great people, and we couldn't pass on the opportunity to do the wedding in "our" backyard!
Yes! We reserved the venue from February 18-23, so we are welcoming guests to book an extended stay. We will be hanging out and making food all week. We will probably schedule a day at Bridger Bowl Ski Area as well - bring your gear!
Semi-formal attire - We recommend bringing layers and some winter gear.
