Perfect Venue

Before I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to get married at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake. What I didn't know was that it was going to be the most simple process with a team of AMAZING coordinators. I reserved my date a year and a half out, and as a very excited newly engaged fiancé, I had a million and a half questions for the team. Fast forward a year later and emailing back and forth, we went for our food tasting and the food exceeded all of our expectations.

We dropped welcome bags at the concierge the day before our guests arrived, and they made sure that each guest received upon arrival. Allison and her team made sure that we communicated the week of the wedding, and I never felt nervous or had any doubt that they weren't going to execute my vision perfectly. Everything was perfect! I would not have changed a thing if I could do it again and I am so grateful for the team at the lodge who made everything go off without a hitch. Couldn't be happier that we celebrated our special day here and forever grateful to the hard working team at the lodge!!

Let Down by The lodge

We had a very disappointing experience at the Lodge for our wedding. Despite the beautiful setting, we faced many issues that impacted our day. To start with, we had several missing packages that we had sent to the venue and were reported as delivered but never found. This forced us to scramble and replace items on the morning of our wedding. Lack of communication from the vendor's coordinator led us to have last minute changes to our seating chart, and we were left rushing to order a new one. Our florist's chandelier florals were delivered and never set up by the venue. The power went out due to a storm that was passing by and the venue had no backup plan, no generator. If it weren't for our band having brought a second generator I am unsure of what the rest of our wedding day would've looked like. Due to loss of power and the venue having no way to keep their cooler cold, our ice cream dessert station was completely melted and no one was able to enjoy it. The lodge wedding coordinator had made no plan for us to sign our marriage license during our wedding day as she had requested a timeline from our photographer and never compiled a timeline of her own. In the end, the marriage license ended up getting lost in the Stateroom of the lodge and we were forced to extend our stay in Montana to obtain a new marriage license. Perhaps this day would've gone smoother if we had hired an outside wedding coordinator, or maybe if the lodge had an actual backup plan in place in case of extreme weather.

A beautiful venue, poor communication and professionalism.

The venue is beautiful, it's been my childhood dream, the food was fantastic, food and beverage lady was wonderful. Our wedding coordinator never responded to emails or would be a week late, they contradicted costs, charged our card without returning a final invoice, then when we questioned the costs they provided documents that were not possible my dad's signature on a paper that they wrote in 8pm after the fact (he was doing our father daughter dance at that time) said he signed at 9:30pm, I asked questions and relayed the information they didn't responded or communicate but they didn't have to because they had already charged our card and moved on, really disappointing from such a beautiful place. Also, be ready for alot of additional costs the basic packages don't include much and everything is a couple hundred dollar add. Maybe it would be different if you use a coordinator, I coordinated my own wedding and it was extremely stressful not receiving responses from the lodges coordinator.

What a gorgeous setting for a wedding! The Lodge at Whitefish Lake is perfect for a small or large wedding. I have officiated elopements with just the bride and groom, and I have officiated weddings with hundreds of guests. The Wedding Consultants, Kim and Emily were great to work with; they were organized, professional and competent. Not to mention a lot of fun. The Wedding Tent is lovely for an outdoor reception and the Whitefish Lake is a beautiful backdrop for the wedding ceremony.
