Our Wedding

Once upon a time, Chelsea moved from Minneapolis Minnesota to Tacoma Washington, to attend the University of Washington's Physician Assistant program. Her dog Nico made the move alongside her and one afternoon they set out to the local dog park. It was there where Nico made a friend in Bane, as Chelsea made a friend in Ally. One thing led to another; Ally soon set Chelsea and Kyle up on a date. Ally and Kyle had known each other for years, as they attended the same high school. Time passed and Chelsea and Kyle realized that they were soon to be classmates and colleagues, both having been accepted to the University of Washington. They have been together ever since.

Q + A

Flying?Plan to fly into the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) Driving?Hardscrabble Ranch is about 35 minutes fromdowntown Bozeman, and 40 minutes from Livingston. There is a new sign, so hopefully will be easy to find. The address is 15660 Brackett Creek Road, Bozeman, Montana, 59715. You will not have cell service for the last ten miles or so (from either direction), so it is crucial to start the trip on Google or Apple maps before leaving for the ranch. Directions from Bozeman:Take MT-86 N/Bridger Canyon Dr.&nbsp;Drive for 17.2 miles.&nbsp;Along the way you will pass Bridger Bowl ski area and Cross Cut Nordic Center on your left.&nbsp;Stay on route 86. About two miles past Cross Cut you’ll head down a hill. At the bend, and on the right, is a small road that heads East. It’s unmarked, but that’s Brackett Creek Road. The property is on the right after 2.2 miles. Theaddress numbers (15660) are on both the mailbox and the blue and white rural fire department markers. If it’s daylight, you’ll see the large black barn with an HR logo on it. Again, limited cell service just outside Bozeman. There is Verizon service near Bridger Bowl ski area. Directions from Livingston:&nbsp;Take I-90 east to exit for White Sulphur (Route 89N).&nbsp;Take 89 North to Clyde Park (about 14.5 miles).&nbsp;&nbsp;Turn left on Fifth Street at the Post Office.&nbsp;Follow this road over the Shields River and take the same road (it becomes Brackett Creek Road) for 12.5 miles.&nbsp;You’ll enter Gallatin County at around ten miles. When you pass Horse Creek Rd on your right, you are close. Look left and you'll see see a big black barn with yellow doors. Turn left at mailbox 15660 (and there’s a HR sign) and head up the hill.&nbsp;No cell service once you pass Clyde Park.

You may stay wherever you like! Though if you choose to stay at the hotel, it is reserved from 6/19/25 - 6/22/25. However you do not need to stay all three nights in order to book a room. Rooms must be booked by 5/5/25 in order to secure the group rate.
