Best venue for the best day ever!
First visit, it felt strange that a venue would be in the middle of town. Once you walk through the doors, it’s like stepping into a lodge at the base of a mountain! Crystal & her team are great at communication, patient with all the questions & transparent in all their services. They tailored every detail to our day & could accommodate particular diets of our loved ones. To have access to the venue for the entire weekend made our wedding incredibly low stress. Winter weddings & hot tub after party FTW! After the day, Crystal offered discounts on future stays at Whitefish. It is incredibly special to revisit our wedding site in the future, with great accommodations & the cutest teddy bear waffles!
We love this place from the food to the workers. They’ll work with you and point to reasons why people and you will love this area. Now the room; spacious beautiful it feels like a cabin so that’s what you’ll get cabin, not Hilton type amenities. I loved it. SHOWER the faucet pull to take a shower if you get confused look top right corner in the shower.
Thanks so much for a memorable weekend
Perfect Fall Wedding
The packages that are offered far beat out so many other vendors. Crystal truly understands the importance of this being the bride and grooms day and makes it 100% about them and their needs!
We had our grooms dinner, ceremony and reception all at Whitefish Lodge. Everyone was so accomodating with changes or helping us figure things out. We were able to start decorating earlier than expected which allowed us more time to relax! Being able to have the reception area for the entire weekend, gave us time to be with our family and friends and not having to worry about cleaning up right away. It was great being able to just enjoy our weekend! We are looking forward to spending anniversaries at the Lodge.
If you are looking for a truly special experience with 5 star service, then look no further;Whitefish lodge and Crystal have you covered!!!
Thank you so much Crystal and all the staff at the lodge for making our wedding better than we imagined!
