We had our wedding at Whitefish Mountain Resort in August 2022. We definitely recommend this venue. The ceremony site is at the top of the mountain and the views are stunning. Our guests continue to rave about the beautiful gondola ride to the top of the mountain for the ceremony. The alpine coaster was open and available to guests during the cocktail hour, which was a huge hit with all of our guests. We had several guests from out of town so it was very convenient to have the wedding, ceremony, and lodging all on the mountain. Allison is the wedding coordinator for the venue and she is super helpful and very quick to respond during the entire planning process. The dinner was superb and the bar menu prices were very reasonable allowing us to host an open bar. Whitefish Mountain Resort is the perfect place for a beautiful and unique, fun wedding. Several guests told us that our wedding was the best they have ever attended thanks to Whitefish Mountain Resort and Allison!

Best Experience Ever!
Allison and her team are the best! They were all so kind and helpful! Our wedding day was perfect because of the staff and the efforts that they put into our special day. The view of Whitefish is phenomenal and a beautiful place to get married. However it would not have been as perfect of the staff and Allison were not there to keep things in order! We had a cake malfunction that was fixed because of quick thinking. Our cake cutting cake was ordered from a grocery store as we ordered cupcakes and macrons for the guests to eat and the cake was purely just to cut. The grocery store did not decorate it up to wedding standards and a staff member from whitefish quickly made it a beautiful cake by take extra flowers and adding them to the top of the cake!Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Oh Amber! Thank you for your kind words. We loved having you with us for your big day and look forward to your return ski visits for years to come! Best wishes to you and your sweet families! -

Best Venue and Staff!!
Whitefish Mountain Resort went above and beyond for my wedding day. Planning a destination wedding can be difficult, but Allison was always so responsive. She provided all the tools to make planning easy and even made last minute changes the day before! The rehearsal and wedding day went so smoothly. She had everything totally under control and handled all my vendors and set up. The staff did an awesome job decorating the venue and executed my vision perfectly. I had some friends go in to help them out before the ceremony, but they’d already finished everything and had it ready to go! The catering was excellent. My guests are still telling me how good the food was. And several friends and family members commented on how smoothly everything went and how friendly the staff was. They truly went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect, and there was no stress on me or any family members. Also, the views are stunning and can’t be beat!Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Thank you for such kind words Brittany! You and Dillon were a dream to work with and we are just so excited for you. Please come back and visit us! Best wishes! -

Norman G. Sent on 10/15/2019Perfect Venue for Us!
Whitefish Mountain Resort was the perfect place for us! Not only did they work with us to stay in our budget, but they were very friendly and responded quickly, particularly our wedding coordinator Jess. They never pushed anything on us and always gave helpful information to make important logistical decisions. The experience and professionalism of their staff were evident and if I had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate in choosing Whitefish Mountain Resort. We look forward to spending our first-year anniversary there!Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Thank you Norman!
It was such an honor to work with both of you. Gorgeous wedding from beginning to end!
All the best,

Allison W. Sent on 09/29/2019SO happy we went with WMR!
When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have a destination wedding in Montana but weren't set on a venue. We reached out to a LOT of venues, and NONE were as responsive as WMR. That was our deciding factor; when planning a wedding somewhere you've never been you need a set of eyes there that you trust and can rely on! Jess was exactly that. She and her team were exceptional. Getting married on top of a mountain was absolutely breathtaking and so special. All of our guests were traveling in from out of town and there was something to do there for all ages. Since we were having an intimate destination wedding, we did not have a tasting beforehand and just picked off the menu. The food and service was just amazing, it blew our expectations out of the water. We really couldn't have been happier with choosing Whitefish Mountain Resort and we can't thank Jess and her team enough for all of their hard work giving us our dream day.Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Thank you so much Allison!
You guys were such a pleasure to work with. I'm glad we met your expectations from beginning to end.
All the best,
Jess -

Casey K. Sent on 09/10/2019Best venue EVER!
If you are looking to get married in Montana (or a beautiful place in general) look no further! Seriously! WMR was a dream to work with. I wasn't aware of any hiccups and the WMR team did EVERYTHING! WMR was not only a dream for my husband and myself, but all of our guests RAVED about the venue. WMR is truly amazing and the entire staff was incredible to work with.Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Hey Casey!
Thank you so much for the kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you and your family. Please pass our regards to Josh. We truly enjoyed every moment of your special day.
All the best,

Kira Sent on 10/24/2018AMAZING!! They made planning so easy
I cannot say how nice it was to work with Sara and the Whitefish Mountain Resort team. They made everything so easy and the night ran PERFECTLY! It was freezing but they accommodated my guests and my every need. The event was beautiful and on time, the food was beyond delicious and my guests all had an unforgettable time.Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Hi Kira! We appreciate you posting a review. You and RJ were such troopers with the late season chilly weather! It was great to see you all enjoying the day and evening so much. We'll see ya on the slopes soon! -
Charis Sent on 08/18/2018We worked very closely with Sarah at Whitefish Mountain Resort and she was absolutely wonderful! We were a bit nervous to plan our mountain wedding from our home state of Minnesota, but Sarah made it a breeze. She had check-lists, timelines, and deadlines all organized to keep us on track, and she thought of things I wouldn’t have even considered. Everyone at the resort is very friendly and very helpful - the front desk staff made sure our guests got their welcome boxes, and if it was missed at check-in, they delivered the welcome boxes to each persons room. Our ceremony was held at the summit, and Sarah did a great job of setting up pieces for our unity ceremony, chairs, and she even laid out the rose petals that lined the aisle herself. She walked us through rehearsal and kept everyone on schedule! In terms of the reception - ours was held in the base lodge and it was perfect. Our guests waited and had appetizers on the patio until we arrived, and then our meal was served buffet style. All of our guests commented on how delicious and warm the food was - that was a big deal for us! Set up and take down were a breeze and aside from dropping everything off, the Whitefish Mountain Resort staff set up our signs and photos and put on all the finishing touches. We truly could not think of a better team of people or a more perfect day!
Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Charis, thank you so much for posting such a great review! We had such a fun time with you guys. Our whole team here at Whitefish Mountain Resort is thrilled to hear such good feedback, and we're proud to be one of the best mountain resort wedding venues in the Northwest US. We hope to see you and Kyle back here for some winter or summer fun on the slopes! -

Steven Sent on 08/19/2018We can truly look back and know that we had the best day ever! Whitefish Mountain Resort is a dream location. The mountain is stunning, and the resort is so well run. Sarah Nuckolls is the most professional and caring person to work with. We really felt like we connected with her, and she helped settle our nerves and she was extremely responsive to our questions and needs. As a same-sex couple, we were slightly apprehensive when selecting wedding venues, but we felt so at ease with Sarah. The entire experience was positive and somewhat seamless. We hardly felt the anticipated pressures of wedding planning, and our families even worried about how things would play out. We were all stopped in our tracks, and our families were especially impressed. In addition to the mountain scenery, Whitefish Mountain Resort staff members were a dream to work with. Managers, wait staff, and all employees from the lodging desk to the ski lifts were extremely pleasant, welcoming, and helpful. We loved our selection, and we believed the cost was reasonable. I highly recommend Whitefish Mountain Resort for the ultimate destination wedding!

Hi!! It's been so wonderful to work with you guys!! We appreciate your commentary. We feel lucky to work with such special occasions at such an awesome venue. I wish you the best always and sure hope to see you next time you're in the area! -

Michaela Sent on 01/27/2018Whitefish Mountain Resort was an absolutely amazing venue for our wedding! I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and the staff. We are originally from the Flathead Valley, but were planning our wedding from another state and Sarah made the whole process seamless. Having the ceremony and reception at the summit was such a fun experience for our guests and people are still raving about the delicious food! If you are looking for a venue that captures the essence of Montana and offers exceptional service then Whitefish Mountain Resort is the perfect choice.
Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Michaela, thank you so much for leaving such a glowing review. I really enjoyed getting to know you both, and you’re right, we are fortunate with our wonderful venues and delicious food from Chef Ben and his team. We take pride in our level of service, and glad to hear we hit a good mark with you two. What a lovely mountain top wedding! We hope to see you back on the mountain again soon! -Sarah -

User2257413 Sent on 08/05/2015I had my DREAM wedding at Whitefish Mountain Resort. There are so many beautiful spots on the mountain (indoor or outdoor) to have your ceremony and reception. Sarah N. was such a pleasure to work with, always listening to my ideas, offering suggestions, responsive, professional & FUN! I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. Chef Ben worked with us on creating the perfect menu. The food was some of the best I've ever had, not only for a wedding but in general. The entire staff on the day of the wedding was so pleasant and on top of it. They even had children's meals ready to go when guests sat down (something I didn't even think of but heard GREAT feedback from my guests with small children). They had everything set up perfectly, service during the reception was top notch, and everyone was friendly while interacting with guests. If I could do it all over again, I would absolutely have it at the Whitefish Mountain Resort! -
User5891366 Sent on 09/28/2021Perfect in every way
Where is the button for 100 stars?? This place is AMAZING!!! I still cannot believe I had my wedding here. We wanted the mountains and everything was out of our price range, until we found WMR!! The pricing is amazing, the food was delicious, the staff were exceptional (like truly amazing), and the views are literally perfect in every way. By the end of the event I felt like the coordinator (Allison) was my best friend. She did EVERYTHING. Everything. And she was by far the friendliest person we worked with, and even our guests later asked who that amazing woman was who was helping direct them where to go! And the ALPINE SLIDE was epic! Our guests loved it! Many of them took the lift back up to ride it a second time! The ski lift in itself was such a unique experience. And wow the views at the ceremony site were perfect for pictures. Reception site was great too- intimate but still tons of space to dance and party! The whole town has a fun vibe to it and tons of places to eat and visit for wedding weekend! Super close to GNP for guests to turn the wedding into a vacation! We thought it would be a destination wedding where most people wouldn't make the trip, but because the location was SO cool, 110 people flew from the east coast to join. If you are considering a mountain wedding and you want somewhere beautiful, affordable, and that will take care of everything then this is the place.Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
You are the sweetest! We LOVED helping you two get hitched! Thank you so much for sharing these kind words with us and our future couples!
PS- I loved seeing your wedding photos where you're climbing fences, running down trails, and getting down low on the dance floor in that gorgeous dress! You are my spirit animal! Come back to see me! -

User2374038 Sent on 10/18/2015I highly recommend the Whitefish Mountain Resort for your private event needs. We hosted our family and guests to dinner and a wedding rehearsal cocktail reception at the Big Mountain. We worked specifically with Sarah Nuckolls, who was a complete pleasure to work with and really went above and beyond to help us. Not only did Sarah help organize a great dinner and program for some speeches, but she also helped me to organize a surprise for my husband that involved me taking all our guests to the summit on the chair lifts. It was the night of July 31st and the blue moon. It was extraordinary. Overall, I received first class service, communication and follow up. I would highly recommend the facility and folks at Whitefish Mountain Resort. Thank you for making our evening fantastic!! -
Elizabeth Sent on 10/18/2017We had our wedding at Whitefish Mountain Resort (WMR) over Labor Day weekend this year on Sunday, 9/3/17. We chose WMR because, among other things, the venue gave us the opportunity to exchange vows on top of a mountain with views of nearby Glacier National Park!
Sarah was our main point of contact and we loved working with her. We visited Whitefish in January to do some planning with her and I would definitely recommend spending the extra money on a "planning visit", etc. to anyone wanting to host a destination wedding. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Sarah was very responsive and flexible, as was everyone who helped us at the resort. There was plenty of room for our 50+ guests traveling to Montana from out-of-state.
Our ceremony was on the Summit and it was absolutely beautiful. Our reception was at the Base Lodge and that, too, was wonderful. We felt we got such a great value for a destination wedding, especially compared to some of the resorts in Colorado and Wyoming, and would definitely recommend WMR to anyone looking to get married in the mountains!!!Whitefish Mountain Resort's reply:
Hey there! Thank you so much for the reviews, and posting some photos. Your pictures are really great! The team here at Whitefish Mountain Resort is thrilled to hear your good feedback, and we're proud to offer excellent service as well as a beautiful mountain location to get married! Hope to see you both around here again for skiing or summer fun. -
