What will the weather be like?
Late August / early September in Helena is usually still warm, with average temperatures being in the high 70's. Temperatures do cool down at night though, averaging in the mid to high 40's so bring some warmer clothing to wear in the evenings.
How close is the hotel to the airport?
If you're flying in for this occasion, you will fly into the Helena Regional Airport which is 3.6 miles from the hotel (approximately a 7 minute drive). For transportation you can utilize Uber, Lyft, a rental car, or a shuttle from the hotel. You can also contact us to see if we are available to give you a ride :)
How close is the hotel to restaurants, things to do, etc.?
The hotel is approximately 2 miles from downtown restaurants and shopping. There are several grocery stores within 3 miles of the hotel (Albertsons, Safeway, Walmart). It is also close to Prospect Ave which contains several fast food restaurants and coffee shops. Most places, even on the other side of town, will be within a 10 minute drive (traffic is mild here!).
What will the reception entail?
This will be much like a traditional wedding reception. As guests arrive, they can grab a beer, some wine, or a nice cocktail as they wait for the grand entrance of the bride and groom. We will have other traditional customs as well such as toasts, dances (e.g. dollar dance, first dance, etc.), bouquet toss and more. And lots of dancing! We can't wait to experience it all with you!!
Is the reception kid friendly?
Absolutely! Kids are welcome.
