Incredible service, incredible views, incredible day!

Wow! I cannot say enough good things about our perfect day at Great Divide. Rose and her team went above and beyond to make sure our day was well organized and ran smoothly. She was so patient in answering all of our questions as we solidified decor, layout and schedule for the day. It was relaxing for us, and an incredible experience for our guests. The views I got while walking down the aisle into the mountain meadow outside of Huggins Lodge will be engraved in my memory forever! We were also so glad we went with great divide for our catering! It took a lot of stress off the planning and the food was amazing (pulled pork and Mac and cheese was a huge hit!) if you are looking for a stunning, unique Montana experience for you and your guests, you have found your venue :)
