Schedule

The Wedding Website of Alison Bulkley and Brandon Van Heyde
We are so thrilled you’ll be joining us! Whitefish is a very special place to Alison’s family (and now to Brandon!). We’ve made many incredible memories here, and we’re excited to add our wedding to that list! Below is the schedule of our wedding festivities - of course, both Thursday and Friday are optional, but we hope you can make all of the events!

Thursday, September 3, 2026

Hike Up Big Mountain

1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Whitefish Mountain Resort
1015 Glades Dr, Whitefish, MT 59937

Workout Attire - Get Ready to Sweat!

Meet us at the Hellroaring Saloon to hike Danny On Trail, a 3.8-mile uphill trek to the summit of Whitefish Mountain Resort (formerly and forever known as Big Mountain). Once we reach the top, we’ll celebrate with a well-earned beer or cocktail and some snacks at the Summit House, then ride the chairlift back down together. Prefer not to hike, or getting in that morning? No sweat - simply take the chairlift or gondola up to join us at the Summit House around 4p to celebrate at the top! For our hikers: this is a moderately difficult hike. The trail has switchbacks, but please note that it is all uphill. The hike should take ~2 hours at a moderate pace. Please bring a small backpack or fanny pack with a water bottle, sunscreen, hat, and empty plastic bags if you would like to pick fresh huckleberries. If you plan to pick huckleberries, we'd recommend that you wear leggings or long pants to protect your legs from getting scratched from the bushes!

Casual Lake Day at the Bulkley's

12:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Lake Attire (+ Swimsuit)

Come by our home in Whitefish for a laid-back lakeside get-together! We’ll have light bites and drinks while we boat, swim, and relax ahead of the weekend. Come and go as you please, stop by whenever it works to say hi - do what is best for your schedule! During this event, we'll be hanging out by the lake and doing lakeside activities, including the options of: paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and boating. We'll also have a boat that will take you around the lake to explore Whitefish Lake in its entirety.

5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Rodeo Rhinestone - Lux Western with a Sparkle

Come celebrate the night before our wedding at the iconic Hellroaring Saloon! Hellroaring is a favorite to the locals, known for its old-school charm and pub-like style. All are invited to the rehearsal - come dressed in Western Chic with a touch a sparkle! Think: cocktail attire with a Western flare + something with sparkles. Be ready for a fun night, which may or may not include a shotski. In true Montana fashion: there are no vegetarian entrées, BUT there will be plenty of sides!
