FAQs

Question

When should I arrive in Montana?

Question

What is the weather like in July?

Answer

July in Montana is warm and sunny with cool evenings. Expect daytime highs in the mid 70s to low 80s°F and nighttime lows in the 40s–50s°F. Bring layers — mountain weather can change quickly!

Question

What should I wear for the wedding?

Answer

Think casual country wedding vibes — boots, jeans, sundresses, or whatever makes you feel good and ready to celebrate! The ceremony and reception will be outdoors, so we recommend comfortable shoes for dancing and walking on grass. Dress it up or down — just be yourself!

Everything will be outdoors at our Airbnb along the river!

Question

Travel Tips

Answer

✈️ Flying In The closest airport is Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) in Kalispell, just 15–30 minutes from Whitefish. It’s small, easy to navigate, and served by major airlines like Delta, Alaska, United, and American. 🚗 Car Rentals We recommend renting a car if you're flying in — Montana is all about the scenic drives! Book early, especially in July. 🧭 Driving Distances FCA Airport → Whitefish: ~20 minutes FCA Airport → Glacier National Park: ~30–45 minutes 🏨 Where to Stay There are lots of cozy places to stay in Whitefish, Kalispell, and near Glacier National Park. Hotels, Airbnbs, and cabins fill up fast in the summer, so we recommend booking early! 🕐 Time Zone Montana is in Mountain Time (MT). Keep that in mind if you’re flying from another zone — we’d hate for anyone to miss the pizza or the celebration. 📱 Cell Service & Wi-Fi Cell service can be spotty in the mountains, and some areas near Glacier have limited Wi-Fi. Download maps, playlists, or directions ahead of time just in case!
