I would say this would be a hard review for me to make but after meeting Linda and her husband Alan, this is probably the easiest 1 star review I have to make. My husband and I got married on August 15th of this year, and upon meeting the owners, they seemed like really nice people. Kind and welcoming, willing to do anything to help but that couldn't be farther from the truth, I would describe them as "two faced". We got a contract from them and bought the whole package deal for $8500.00 dollars, that is fine for a place right on the lake on a beautiful piece of property. That wasn't the issue, the issue is all the little rules they like to add after they take your money. I have a big family that likes to have a couple drinks, not unusual for weddings and they are by no means "alcoholics", when they saw how much alcohol we ordered for an expected 75+ people they said "you have enough booze to supply the whole reservation" I take that to offense because I'm native and part of the Salish and Kootenai tribes, she was basically implying that the whole reservation are alcoholics. They had openly admitted that they were "Nazis" and honestly who would want to hear that from the venue owners, but they said that the DAY before my wedding so we couldn't really back out at that point. My other side of my family is Italian and we have a drink called the "Italian Shot" which is not a shot at all but a sipper, Linda said absolutely no shots which was not stated at all in the contract, for clarification, most of my guests were over the age of 50 so they weren't partiers or anything like that, we also weren't allowed to serve alcohol before the ceremony which is not a huge deal except for the fact that we paid for use of the venue until 10pm BUT they made us leave at 7:45 pm due to a storm that never happened and we stayed at the resort right down the street from them so we would know if a storm had come through, we stayed up playing cards until 2 in the morning and not even a gust of wind came through, but of course, they wouldn't refund us for the lost 2 hours. Alan, the owner was openly walking around with a gun on his side and making my guests uncomfortable, I'm a firm believer in the 2nd amendment but don't do it a wedding where you don't know anyone. Both owners were also drinking our alcohol and eating our food. Linda was supposedly sitting and guarding the women's cabin but somehow $1700 dollars went missing for our hairstylist/bartender. But that is the worst thing that they made us do is.....they have a bathroom on site, I used it when we first went out and looked at the place. On the day of the wedding, my friend who has bowel issues found out that the bathroom was locked down like chains all around it!! She had to run back to the resort just to use the toilet, BUT, I, the bride in a heavy expensive wedding dress had to use a freaking PORTA POTTY. Not a fancy one, just a regular Sweet Pea blue box that wasn't the cleaning. You can't fit more than one person in those things, so I had to figure out to use the restroom without making a mess out of my dress. Completely unacceptable!!!!!Their grass by the ceremony location was not cut and filthy with moisture and some spare dog crap from their dogs, the first thing after saying "I Do" we took pictures and the bottom of my dress got dirty to the point of embarrassment. I had to go around like that for the rest of the two hours we were aloud to stay. The owners will also degrade and belittle you if you disagree with anything they say, they called my 75 year uncle a "low IQ individual". I would avoid this place at all costs, it's such a shame that they have such a great piece of property. Linda was telling us that it might be the last year that they are doing weddings and honestly, I think it should be. There is another review very similar to mine that I think you should go read as well. Spend your money elsewhere for your special day.
Would give 0 stars if i could. Venue was nice, but the integrity of the venue owners was an absolute disaster. Making stuff up the day of the wedding and enforcing threat by carryi...
ng a loaded weapon, is not and was not ever a great idea. Calling the people who pay you low IQ, is definitely one of the worst choices to make.

ay. Unfortunately, that will be what our family & friends will remember most about our wedding. 😢 We were not satisfied with our experience even though we paid for a FULL weekend wedding package at Flathead Lake Forevers. Our experience was made to be way more stressful and frustrating than we could’ve imagined.
I did not appreciate the hovering over the venue and my guests, during which the venue was temporarily being rented out by US per our contract/agreement. Many of my guests approached us after the wedding and were upset over comments made to them by the venue owners. I was under the impression that the owners would not be present at all during our rental time unless we needed specific help. Instead, they were hanging around uninvited in SWIM TRUNKS, mingling with guests, and drinking our beer. Not to mention their family members were sitting on the shore WATCHING our entire wedding as if it was a movie. It felt extremely violating. I rented a private property for a reason. We compared it to as if we rented an expensive air bnb for a weekend and then have the owners stay and hover over us as we are spending precious, intimate time with family. We spent most of our budget and savings from the last 5 years on this venue. $9,000! Venue owners made us feel guilty because we couldn’t afford to hire caterers, a bartender, and florist. Many of our family members have worked/ now work in those businesses professionally, so why pay a fortune to have a stranger do it just to make venue owners happy?!
Also, MAJOR communication issues. Their website, emails, texts, our rental agreement said one thing and then in person they said another. Super disappointed. The bathroom onsite was not able to be used. We used port-a-potties!! Non-potable water on site, so no clean water at all. Big orange forklift parked on the venue in the back of my wedding photos 😔. We were barked at about getting out on time night of our wedding, as we were scrambling to clean up. I had to stay and clean up my own wedding night of, which was a nightmare.
We were approached DAY OF our wedding about not having any liquor, after I had purchased, which I specifically asked venue owner permission to have weeks and days prior to our wedding. Therefore, nobody was able to order signature drinks I spent a long time organizing and spending money on. All of my guests were extremely respectful, nobody got rude or crazy due to alcohol, and we had 3 licensed bartenders, so there were no issues on their end with alcohol.
Their website states that ALL linens and a lakeside fire pit with beach chairs are included at no extra cost as apart of the full package. We asked several times about these and were told that they weren’t included… so none of my guests got to use this included feature.
My husband was YELLED at not to drive on the grass when I had asked him to pull the car around closer to me so I could clean up easier. Their whole parking lot is grass! This should be clearly outlined in future contracts if they want renters to drive and park a certain way on site.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. We contacted the venue owners after the event to share our feedback/concerns and received a small refund, basically just our deposit back, which we appreciate. However, nothing can be done about changing our wedding day experience. 😕 It was very unprofessional and we don’t recommend anyone book this wedding venue. We would hate for anyone to run into the same issues we did!

n NYC.
We had both our rehearsal dinner (with about 40 people) and our wedding (with about 70 people here). The space is so open and airy, you truly feel a sense of relaxation that allows you to fully be present.
For our rehearsal dinner, we had tables set up under a big tree, a stone's throw from the lake itself which provided not only shade but wonderful lighting for photos! Included with the venue was also a fire pit and big chairs for people to hang out at as well.
Linda and Alan truly want you to have the most enjoyable experience. They ensured we made the right decisions by opting to have a few walls up that took nothing away from the aesthetic, but added so much comfort by blocking the sun for many of our guests, and during the wedding it also ended up saving things from blowing away due to how windy it was!
We were able to do so much with this venue. We had our dogs attend the ceremony, lawn games for the kids and people who wanted a break from dancing, and just a general laid back vibe which allowed everyone to really let loose during our wedding and have the best time! And the bride and groom cabins were perfect to get ready in and store some of our things!
The vastness of the space really provided so much as well in terms of places for photos and lighting! We had amazing photos taken by the dock, the beautiful driftwood they have lining the shore of the lake for the ceremony, and the lounge area we had set up by one of the big trees to name a few!
Linda & Alan- thank you so much for everything! Brian and I wish you all the best!
