Facilities and Capacity

Up to 200 guests can join couples for their celebration at Glacier Park Weddings.

The simplicity of the venue serves as a blank canvas for couples to make the space their own through lighting and decor.

Amazing West Glacier Venue!

Great Northern Resort exceeded all of our expectations! We are from Texas and dreamed of getting married in Montana, and GNR was the perfect spot! Cathi and her team made the night flow so smoothly and were so hospitable to all of our guests. The ceremony space views are truly breathtaking and the reception tent is perfect for an outdoor wedding! We love Great Northern Resort!

Glacier Park Weddings was Amazing!

We booked Glacier Park Weddings without ever seeing the venue in person and we’re blown away when we got there for our wedding. The venue was amazing! Almost our entire wedding party stayed there, we did a group rafting trip through them, and Cathi and her staff could not have been easier to work with! Everyone had a great time and we could not have been happier with our choice! The wedding site was absolutely beautiful and the reception site was perfect!

Just Beautiful and Easy!

Call Cathi at Glacier Park Weddings! We had to cancel our original wedding back in 2019 and then we met Cathi at Glacier Park Weddings we weren't convinced about have a wedding in Montana (we live in Cali) But Cathi just made us feel like so comfortable. We book on our drive back to Cali. Cathi hooked us up with an awesome wedding planner. Cathi helped us make sure our guests and us felt safe about getting married during COVID. it was a delight to work with her. OOO and the venue is beautiful and spacious and everything you could ever want.

Dream wedding!

This location is adorable and a perfect option for being right outside Glacier National Park with a larger number of guests than most park locations allow. Cathi was a gem to work with, both leading up to the event and the day of— she was present, so kind, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. The cost was very reasonable for the area and exceeded our expectations overall. You won’t regret tying the knot here!

Breathtaking and beautiful

Glacier National Park Is the most beautiful place I have ever been. It is literally so beautiful that you question if what you are looking at is actually real, and not a blown up postcard! The pictures from our elopement are astonishing! The beauty of that park is jaw-dropping! I can’t believe that I get to say that I got married in this park! It’s the best decision I ever made, and I can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely PERFECT venue for your Glacier Park wedding!

Glacier Park Weddings & Great Northern Resort made our wedding absolute perfection this summer! It was the first venue we looked at, and we knew right away it was the one. We were looking for an outdoor yet romantic and classy setting. This venue delivers all of the above. It is set in an adventurous location, within minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, but with all of the modern amenities you could hope for at a wedding ceremony and reception. We had 75 guests and the grounds accommodated our group perfectly.

Cathi and Byron went above and beyond to ensure everything turned out better and more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Cathi was especially wonderful to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue coordinator. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire planning process, always happy to answer any questions (no matter how big or small), always responded in a timely manner, and made us feel like we were her only clients. We really felt like we became friends with everyone at the resort by the end of the weekend. They are a family-owned and operated business, and you will always feel like a part of their family when you're staying here.

We were able to rent out all of the lodging rooms the night of our wedding, which was so fun for us and all of our guests. The lodge and chalets are comfortable and so charming. At the end of the night, we just had to stroll down the pathway from the reception tent to our rooms! Our families loved being onsite all week before the wedding and felt like they were away at summer camp.

In addition to utilizing the venue space, we also used Great Northern Resort's bar package for our reception, and even offered a rafting trip for our family and friends the day before the wedding. It was a huge hit! Our bartenders were really outgoing and entertained our guests all night. Their team's presentation was also very professional.

I would highly recommend this venue for your Glacier National Park wedding. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you again, Glacier Park Weddings, for making our day unforgettable.

Glacier park is a place that I had grown up loving and my husband had always wanted to get married in the mountains, so it was a no brainer that we were going to get married here. Before we were even engaged, my husband and I had been looking into this specific venue and we had contacted the venue regarding prices, and we were sold on for sure having our wedding here. They are able to accommodate small intimate weddings, to large weddings as well! The tent set up is beautiful for the reception and the mountain view for the ceremony is unbeatable!

Choosing to have our wedding at Great Northern Resort / Glacier Park Weddings was the best wedding planning decision we made! The venue was exactly what we hoped for, and the staff was instrumental in helping us achieve our wedding dreams. We have received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue space was, how nice the staff was, and how perfect and convenient it was to have so many guests right there on site for multiple days. Booking the venue for 3 days allowed us to really connect with all our guests more than just the fleeting moments you get with other venues and one night weddings. The staff was incredibly helpful all weekend (more-so than our coordinator) and assisted with anything we forgot to plan for. We booked their bar and breakfast services and both were outstanding. People got locked out after hours, and they helped with that as well. The staff really put in the extra effort which made the difference in a wedding memory that could have easily been a sour one.

I cant express how awesome everything turned out for our wedding. Kelsey was so wonderful to work with. She truly made everything go smoothly. I started planning our wedding from Texas starting January of 2014 and we never even saw Great Northern Resort until the week of our wedding. Some people thought I was crazy but I knew that anywhere in Montana is just breathtaking, especially near the national parks. If I had any questions or concerns Kelsey was always there to answer me in a timely manner and came up with many vendor options for which I used as well. The cabins were perfect for accommodating our wedding party, family, and friends. It was so nice to be able to stay at the cabins which are just down the road from the entrance to GNP. We even had our rehearsal dinner in front of the cabins using the picnic tables which was perfect for our group. If I could relive our wedding week I would, and I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Kelsey and Katheryn (Glacier Park Weddings & Field| a wedding design studio) :)
