If you're looking for a true "blank slate" venue, then Glacier Park Weddings is the perfect spot for you.

Receptions are held in an open-air tent in a meadow just steps from the ceremony site. The spacious reception tent is included in every venue rental and can be re-arranged to accommodate your guest count and preference.
