The Wedding Website of AJ Abelman and Zach Bartz
No doubt your first question is, "Where will I stay, AJ and Zach?" We’ve put together a variety of options to fit your plans and budget. You may wish to make a vacation out of it, which we encourage! Spend the weekend with us and then camp, go to another hotel, or explore. This area is amazing and you’re sure to have fun wherever you go! Paddle Ridge, our wedding venue, is just outside the gates to West Glacier Park, and is THE most convenient place to stay for the Welcome Party on Friday and the wedding on Saturday (and to party with us late into the night on Saturday, especially!) Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish is another great choice where we have a small room block as well- a charming location with lots of restaurants and bars near the hotel, as well as on-site amenities. We will have a very small shuttle for guests staying here to get to the ceremony and home after the reception, as Whitefish is about 30 minutes from our venue We have a block of rooms at each!
