Paddle Ridge is a park and wedding venue located in West Glacier, Montana, just 45 minutes outside Kalispell. The property's pavilion and stunning views allow couples to host natural, rustic gatherings. When celebrating here, newlyweds and their guests can enjoy Montana's abundant beauty with hiking, fishing, and spending time by the fire pit.

Facilities and Capacity

Guest capacity at Paddle Ridge is 160 people. The highlight of this venue is the open-air log pavilion in the middle of the stunning and well-mowed wilderness. Surrounded by mountains and pine trees, couples can exchange vows on the lawn in front of the pavilion before heading inside for a reception. The building itself appears to be made entirely of wood, with cathedral ceilings and beams made of logs. Decorated with string lighting, floral arrangements, and glamorous centerpieces, it's ideal for couples seeking a country-chic atmosphere. Before things start, nearlyweds and their loved ones can prepare in the on-site get-ready suite.

Best ever!

Amy Deering and Glacier Raft Company/Paddle Ridge were an absolute wedding DREAM for our June 2023 wedding!! Seriously, we couldn’t have asked for a better planner and venue; the whole weekend was perfect beyond our wildest dreams, and it was absolutely the best weekend we’ve ever had (and heard the same from so many of our nearest and dearest). Amy and the venue are a total jackpot, and nothing else in the valley compares.

Amy was fantastic to work with during and in the run-up to the wedding–she’s friendly, fun, thoughtful, attentive, down-to-earth, decisive, and an all-around pleasure to work with. We always felt like we were talking to a friend, and she gave us wonderful coaching, advice, and guidance while also giving us the freedom and flexibility to do what we wanted with the space and the weekend. She made us feel calm, confident, and excited after each meeting, and we never felt restricted in our planning–it was SO special being able to be playful and ourselves when bringing the wedding to life. Amy’s incredibly well-connected to other vendors in the valley, and (duh) they all love her!

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous–the grounds have it all, with ponds, forests, and mountain views, and the cabins are well-appointed and comfortable. Almost all of our guests came from out of state, and the venue gave them such a wonderful glimpse into the look and feel of Montana–they were blown away by the beauty, the friendly staff, and the overall feel.

We feel SO lucky to have had our wedding here and with the help of Amy. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the best weekend of our lives!!

Truly Exceptional

A destination wedding can be daunting to plan but Amy was quick and more than willing to answer every question we had. The Parkview Pavillion at Glacier Raft Company far exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend hiring Amy as a wedding coordinator. She made the day so much less stressful and did a tremendous job at making our vision a reality. The view is also stunning and makes for amazing pictures!

Having worked with Terry & Cassie for multiple weddings, I have nothing but good things to say. They and their crew put their heart and soul into every wedding I've been part of. Not only one of Glacier Park (and this valley's) most perfectly located venues, but they have everything to offer all in one place. Great owners, staff, location and venue! - Jennifer Mooney
