Itinerary

Time to go to Montana!

We are overwhelmed with joy to share one of our favorite places on earth with you! Each day, we have an opportunity to connect and embark on an adventure with the Bride and Groom.


We recognize that five days is a significant amount of time away. Maybe you can't swing five days, or it is possible you want to experience Big Sky in a totally different way! Therefore, we have provided you with a ton of adventure time. Nothing on this itinerary is mandatory for you to attend, but of course, we would love to see you as many times as possible!


UPDATES HAVE BEEN MADE. PLEASE READ!

Wednesday

Welcome Party

Attire: Western Casual

Location: The Rocks Tasting Room | Big Sky Town Center

Time: 5:00 PM


Let's warm up before the big day! This welcome party is much more casual than the common rehearsal dinner. It will be an open house-style event, meaning you can come and go as you please.


We are aware that many of you have had changes to your flights. This event will run well into the evening (9:00-10:00) so please feel free to swing through!


This event will be paired up with Big Sky's incredible Farmers Market that runs 5:00-8:00, so feel free to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and walk around the town center!


This party will be a fun opportunity for everyone to celebrate safe travels and finally be in Big Sky with family, friends, and new friends! Together, we get to celebrate the fun adventure ahead! This event will include food, beverages, stories, and toasts!


What does Western Casual Mean: Think relaxed Western vibes, denim, boots, sundresses, and button-downs are all fair game! Feel free to show off your favorite cowboy hat or a touch of fringe if you’re feeling festive. No need for anything too formal...comfort is key, but feel free to have fun with the Western theme!

Ceremony Time + Location

Due to no parking on the mountain, we will be shuttling all guests. You can either park your car at The Summit OR park at Free Skiier Parking and walk (roughly 5 mins).The shuttle service will begin at The Summit Hotel at 1:00 and will transport guests on a 10 minute trip up the mountain to the Hastings Cabin.


There is only ONE shuttle so please be patient and note that we are going to be waiting for the shuttle to be at least 3/4 of the way full before departing. The shuttle can hold 30 guests.


After the ceremony it is important that the FIRST SHUTTLE DOWN the mountain is reserved for those guests who have been invited to have a moment with the bride and groom down at The Summit. Please work with everyone to ensure those guests are on the first shuttle down.


Once that shuttle has dropped those guests off, it will return to the Hastings Cabin and commute the remaining guests to the Summit Hotel to enjoy the cocktail party.


Ceremony Details + Dress Code

We are so excited to say “I do” with the stunning mountains of Big Sky as our backdrop. This will be an outdoor ceremony filled with love, laughter, and a few happy tears.


The Hastings Cabin will be fully set and ready for you upon arrival. Enjoy welcome beverages, light snacks, and plenty of photo ops before the ceremony begins. There will be ample space to mingle, explore, and settle in.
