The Best Wedding Venues Near Glacier National Park For Micro-Weddings and Elopements
Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful areas in Montana making it an ideal location for micro-weddings and elopements. With endless mountain views, idyllic lakes, lush forests, waterfalls, and endless opportunities for hiking and adventure, it’s a dream wedding location. Many of the couples I work with do an adventure session inside the park before their ceremony for some stunning portraits and then head to their venue later in the day or vice versa! I love when my clients do this because they get the best of both worlds! They get to start off their day as if it is an elopement exploring and taking some stunning photos and then head to their venue for the rest of their wedding day!
