Whitefish Mountain Resort

mething truly special. From the stunning mountain views to the cozy, elevated atmosphere, everything felt magical. But what truly made our day unforgettable was the staff. The entire team at Whitefish Mountain Resort went above and beyond in every possible way. Their care, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made our wedding more than we could have ever imagined. We are endlessly grateful for their dedication and kindness — they made our dream day come to life. If you’re looking for a venue that combines spectacular scenery with an exceptional team, Whitefish Mountain Resort is the perfect choice.

onal, and kind. Our wedding day felt safe in her hands from the start! 

wedding weekend to the day after our wedding, WMR proved their experience in weddings through thorough check ins/communication, their incredible attention to detail, their organization, and their goal to make our wedding special and fun. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day & weekend. Ann Marie made wedding planning feel effortless. She was there every step of the way and I can say that I truly made a friend in Ann Marie. She's the best! And Paul has incredible communication. He helped with booking details and housing for our wedding party and our guests. I cannot recommend this venue and this team enough. I would plan 100 more weddings just to work with them again!

booked the venue ~1.5 years in advance, which did come with some quirks. Most notably, we saw a few coordinators come through, but the one who has stuck, Ann Marie, is next level. Ann Marie's attention to detail made our entire wedding go off without a hitch. It was so clear that she was committed to making everything run smoothly from the first time we talked to her, and it clearly showed on the day of! WMR is an incredible venue in itself, with the ceremony taking place at the Summit, and the reception at the Base Lodge. Our guests were thrilled to have an excuse to come to Whitefish and Glacier. Some of the guests were a bit worried/confused about the fact they needed to ride a chair lift or gondola to the summit, but WMR provided very clear instructions for us to provide to our guests so that everyone could be well prepared and on time the day of. The huge benefit of using WMR is that due to the uniqueness of the venue, there is a wedding coordinator included in the cost. This alone made the cost well worth it. Ann Marie knew every small detail, provided suggestions for vendors early on, and was more than happy to make whatever ideas we had a reality. Additionally, she checked in with our vendors to ensure they would be familiar with the resort and the timeline prior to the actual day, which I feel made everything run so seamlessly. The team as a whole were nothing short of incredible the day of! The food being in-house is also a huge benefit. Guests loved the food (as did we!!), and we found that the resort served high end meals for a great price. We were so impressed at the quality!! The bar was able to bring in a few specialties for us at a very reasonable charge, which just made everything even more special. I will say that if you in doubts about the ceremony and reception being in two different parts of the resort, have no fear! The team will guide your guests with ease to where they need to be. The lodge also is interesting - the dinner area is separated from the dance floor- but we found this worked amazing for our crowd. It gave everyone a chance to be on the dance floor having fun, and a quiet space for when you needed a small break! Finally, as guests were ready to leave from our truly magical wedding, they were able to take a shuttle to accommodations within the Resort Village. This was provided within the cost of the venue, and really helped ensure that everyone was able to have a good time. While some of the decor can seem a bit older or dated, it worked amazingly well for my vision. The resort turned into everything I dreamed of with some fairly basic florals and decor for tables. I think if you keep that in mind, you will find the decor of the Base Lodge perfect. I cannot recommend this venue enough. The whole team is there to help you have an amazing night! I had the wedding of my absolute dreams for a very reasonable price. I will truly cherish EVERYTHING about my wedding for the rest of my days.

ill go because she was on it! She was also very empathetic, approachable, and professional. I didn’t have to worry about anything on my wedding day. Despite the rainy weather they made it work and made our wedding so much more memorable! The food was delicious! All of our guests were happy and content! The mountain was so beautiful after the rain!

ine slide—such a fun and memorable experience. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The team took care of the set-up and take-down, which made the day completely stress-free for us. A huge shoutout to Ann, our wedding planner, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was organized, thoughtful, and truly made the day feel effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or well-run venue. Whitefish Mountain Resort gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we would recommend it to any couple looking for an unforgettable Montana wedding experience!

lso, the food was delicious. 10/10 recommend!!

extremely helpful. We did not feel rushed at all due to having extensive planning with Allison prior. We honestly had quite a bit of down time which was awesome! All of our wishes were coordinated and carried out as we requested. The food was great as well, with never having tasted it prior. Our wedding party, guests and family members had a great time and turned into vacations/mini trips! The day was one that will be memorable for all based on it being a true immersive experience. We highly recommend this venue and the team that comes along with it. The town has plenty to offer along with the National Park. We are so thankful and grateful for all of the effort that was put into making our day great!

ad questions. The day of could not have been more perfect. Allison made sure the vendors knew where to go and made sure everyone stayed close to schedule. We will never forget our wedding and WMR! We wanted to have a destination wedding and give an experience for our guests and WMR provided just that. WMR offers alpine slides, zip lines, and views that you will never forget at the Summit. I couldn’t recommend this destination more, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to Allison and staff and going above and beyond…. Especially for Allison, as you see in most comments, she does her job well and is always there to help and relax you at times! She accommodated us with lights above the dance floor when we ran into some other issues with light vendors and now a piece from our wedding will always be there for future weddings. Also, the food deserves its own paragraph! Due to us having a destination wedding, it was hard to schedule a food tasting, so we were not able to get one. HOWEVER, the food was AMAZING. we had multiple guests say that this was the best wedding food they have ever had and we couldn't agree more, It felt and tasted like a 5-course meal. It was amazing to have appetizers and drinks ready for you once you went down the alpine slide or ski lift, everything was delicious!

care of everything and took everything off our shoulders!!

love the chair lift ride up to the top, and the spline slide into the reception. We couldn’t have pictures a better day. The food was amazing. Our guests continue to tell us it was the best wedding food they have had. And the cherry on top, it comes with a wedding coordinator who is with you every step of the way. It would’ve been impossible to have the day of our dreams without Allison. From the very beginning, her responsiveness and communication was above and beyond. Her commitment and care is unmatched. You will not find a more dedicated and caring individual to help pull your big day off. She communicated with all vendors and family when they had questions. We truly can’t imagine what it would’ve been like without her. We want to have another wedding just so we can do it all over again there. Such an amazing and fun day.

r guests continue to rave about the beautiful gondola ride to the top of the mountain for the ceremony.  The alpine coaster was open and available to guests during the cocktail hour, which was a huge hit with all of our guests.  We had several guests from out of town so it was very convenient to have the wedding, ceremony, and lodging all on the mountain.  Allison is the wedding coordinator for the venue and she is super helpful and very quick to respond during the entire planning process.  The dinner was superb and the bar menu prices were very reasonable allowing us to host an open bar.  Whitefish Mountain Resort is the perfect place for a beautiful and unique, fun wedding. Several guests told us that our wedding was the best they have ever attended thanks to Whitefish Mountain Resort and Allison!

we found WMR!! The pricing is amazing, the food was delicious, the staff were exceptional (like truly amazing), and the views are literally perfect in every way. By the end of the event I felt like the coordinator (Allison) was my best friend. She did EVERYTHING. Everything. And she was by far the friendliest person we worked with, and even our guests later asked who that amazing woman was who was helping direct them where to go! And the ALPINE SLIDE was epic! Our guests loved it! Many of them took the lift back up to ride it a second time! The ski lift in itself was such a unique experience. And wow the views at the ceremony site were perfect for pictures. Reception site was great too- intimate but still tons of space to dance and party! The whole town has a fun vibe to it and tons of places to eat and visit for wedding weekend! Super close to GNP for guests to turn the wedding into a vacation! We thought it would be a destination wedding where most people wouldn't make the trip, but because the location was SO cool, 110 people flew from the east coast to join. If you are considering a mountain wedding and you want somewhere beautiful, affordable, and that will take care of everything then this is the place. <3

s to make planning easy and even made last minute changes the day before! The rehearsal and wedding day went so smoothly. She had everything totally under control and handled all my vendors and set up. The staff did an awesome job decorating the venue and executed my vision perfectly. I had some friends go in to help them out before the ceremony, but they’d already finished everything and had it ready to go! The catering was excellent. My guests are still telling me how good the food was. And several friends and family members commented on how smoothly everything went and how friendly the staff was. They truly went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect, and there was no stress on me or any family members. Also, the views are stunning and can’t be beat!

I cannot say enough great things about her. From simple requests to large she was available via email every week! From the chairlift operators to the guest check in at the lodge desk to the bartenders everyone was great! We got so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was despite it being 65 degrees and cold. We had over 100 guests at the summit house for the reception.

team to work with. Perfection!

ble to answer my questions, and to help put together the event of our dreams. The view from the top of the summit is breathtaking. The food is phenomenal! My guests had the best time at our wedding because 1. You get to ride a ski lift to the ceremony. How often does that happen??? 2. The Alpine Slide. RENT THIS FOR COCKTAIL HOUR. It seems a little crazy for everyone to do this in wedding attire, but our guests LOVED it. It was so worth it, and a lot of fun for us to have our introductions off the slide as well. Jess was a dream to work with through the whole process. My original date was 6/27/20, but thanks to COVID, we had to postpone. My new date was 9/13/20. Jess helped us make a smooth transition and was so accommodating when it came to this global pandemic. She always made us feel at ease, and I truly never worried about if my day would be perfect, even though I was planning from Alabama. She helped us set up a timeline, made sure vendors set up where they needed to be, and everything went so perfectly. I wish I could do it all over again. Whitefish Mountain Resort now has a very special place in our hearts, and we look forward to many more future visits.

tion at the base lodge was spacious and the food and beverage service was excellent. Jess, the wedding coordinator, did a great job and will work to make your dream a reality.

ponsive as WMR. That was our deciding factor; when planning a wedding somewhere you've never been you need a set of eyes there that you trust and can rely on! Jess was exactly that. She and her team were exceptional. Getting married on top of a mountain was absolutely breathtaking and so special. All of our guests were traveling in from out of town and there was something to do there for all ages. Since we were having an intimate destination wedding, we did not have a tasting beforehand and just picked off the menu. The food and service was just amazing, it blew our expectations out of the water. We really couldn't have been happier with choosing Whitefish Mountain Resort and we can't thank Jess and her team enough for all of their hard work giving us our dream day.

was far better than we could have ever predicted. She was so calm and collected and made the experience not only great for me and my husband but every single guest. The catering was INCREDIBLE, our guests are still talking about the food (we recommend the beef tenderloin!) and Meagan and her team of staff were so lovely. We wanted to take them all home with us! After having an amazing evening and wedding, the staff packed all of our decorations up for us to ship back home and were just so kind. They calmed every single one of our fears and made us want to have a wedding every single year. We can't wait to come back and see them on our one year anniversary!

like a burden. The only reason I'm not having my wedding here is because half of the family is from England, and it's significantly more expensive to fly to Montana than to California, so unfortunately, I don't get my dream place. BUT. The customer service is superb and I HIGHLY recommend working with Sean!!

nicate with, and made us feel so comfortable. Our guests still comment about the friendly staff, excellent food, and beautiful venue. We are already counting down to our next visit. We would highly recommend WMR!

ree the whole time. We never had an issue working up to the wedding with communicating our ideas or working out any concerns. Sarah was really responsive with calls or emails. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch. The staff was very helpful and food was amazing. Thank you all for making our day great!

irst phone call through the day of the wedding. She made it so easy to plan a wedding from North Dakota. The summit was an amazing venue for the ceremony and the Base Lodge was perfect for the reception. The food was amazing and the staff was professional and helpful. Thank you for making this a day we will never forget!!

edding forecast in case we needed to make some changes to our ceremony/reception plans. Sarah helped calm my nerves and support my special requests throughout the wedding planning process.....WMR really cares about making your special day the absolute best day ever. The food is also AMAZING and the bar staff really helped us all have a wonderful time!

. Sarah Nuckolls was great throughout the planning process and at our wedding. She was very responsive to emails, organized and detailed oriented, and flexible when needed. In my mind, these are all essential qualities when planning and executing a wedding! The other staff at WMR were also professional and exceptional service was provided. I felt relaxed at our wedding, knowing that Sarah and the WMR staff would do an excellent job. Our wedding was on August 5th. It was smoky during the two days before our wedding, but cleared up on our wedding day and the views from the summit were incredible. We loved having our wedding at WMR and our guests loved it as well. It was a unique experience for everyone getting to ride the chairlift/gondola up to the summit for our ceremony! One that we will always remember.

ing we were all coming from WA, and only visited once between engagement and wedding), and even though we ended up having to move from mountaintop to indoors at the last minute (thx Sept. weather:( ) the staff was utterly fantastic at getting everything shifted around and setup at the base lodge and made what was a disappointing decision and stressful situation into an absolutely gorgeous event that guests absolutely loved and went off as smoothly as we could possibly have hoped. A huge thank you to Sarah & the WMR staff for making our day the beautiful day it was, and we'll remember forever!

ision to go with this venue. Plus the views from the top of the mountain are truly spectacular and make for amazing pictures! Chef Ben made a wonderful dinner that everyone enjoyed and the ride down the slide was the hit of the evening! I wanted my wedding to be fun and elegant, Sarah and the staff made my dream wedding come true!!

what and Sarah had the best recommendations for the cake, and photography. Sarah also has a talent for decorating cakes! I ordered a really plain cake and Sarah took a few items from some of the centerpieces and make the cake look like it cost way more than it did. Thank you! It was beautiful. The food was fantastic, and our bartender Kyle was great. I hope we weren't too crazy for him. Also Kylene Larson is a saint. She shooed off some young entrepreneurs who were trying to sell huckleberries to our guests right before the ceremony. Really all the staff was super friendly and helpful. It was an amazing event and I couldn't have imagined it any better.

a pleasure to work with, always listening to my ideas, offering suggestions, responsive, professional & FUN! I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. Chef Ben worked with us on creating the perfect menu. The food was some of the best I've ever had, not only for a wedding but in general. The entire staff on the day of the wedding was so pleasant and on top of it. They even had children's meals ready to go when guests sat down (something I didn't even think of but heard GREAT feedback from my guests with small children). They had everything set up perfectly, service during the reception was top notch, and everyone was friendly while interacting with guests. If I could do it all over again, I would absolutely have it at the Whitefish Mountain Resort!

ere able to set up the day before our event, and take everything down the day after. The venue was set up to our expectations and looked beautiful. Staff was there to help us with anything we wanted. Fantastic place to get married and celebrate your day!

ely attentive and so easy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better crew or location for my wedding day!
