So you’re dreaming of a summer Glacier Park elopement, the kind with those unreal mountain views, turquoise lakes, and wildflowers that look straight out of a movie, but you also want your closest people there? Let me tell you, you can absolutely have both! Whether you’re inviting a handful of family members or a small group of friends, there are so many ways to make it easy, meaningful, and still full of that Glacier magic. Let’s talk about how to plan the perfect day when you’re eloping with guests by your side!
Choosing the Perfect Ceremony Location for Guests
The first thing to think about? Accessibility. Glacier has endless stunning ceremony spots, but if you’re planning a summer elopement with guests, especially older family members, you’ll want a location that’s easy to get to and still gives you those jaw-dropping views!
Lake McDonald is a total favorite for this, calm water, epic mountains, and simple access for everyone. You can have your ceremony right by the lake and still be surrounded by that Glacier Park beauty. But if your guests are down for a little adventure, Logan Pass is a dream. Just picture everyone surrounded by wildflowers and mountain peaks, it’s next-level. Pro tip: Check the official Glacier National Park ceremony locations online! Each site lists how many guests are allowed, and it helps make sure your setup fits perfectly without any stress!
Making It the Perfect Summer Glacier Park Elopement Day
Once you’ve said your “I do’s,” sneak away with your photographer for a few hours and chase those rugged, adventurous shots inside the park. Logan Pass is perfect for this, the light hits just right, and the views are unreal. Trust me, it’s worth the little bit of extra driving (and maybe some hiking boots).
Then, meet back up with your family for dinner — maybe a cozy Airbnb dinner with a private chef (so fun and intimate) or a reservation at a nice local restaurant that can fit everyone. The best part about an elopement like this? You can still have all the romance and adventure of Glacier without giving up the family moments that mean the most!
