No, we only book one event at a time. When you reserve your package, the venue is exclusively yours for your time frame.

We have three bathrooms on site that work well if you just need a place to change. They're functional rather than photogenic, so if you're hoping for a picture-perfect getting-ready backdrop, we'd suggest planning that part offsite.

As a Montana wedding venue with bar service, we require all beverage service to run through our exclusive vendor, Treasure State Hospitality.

The Patio doesn't provide security directly, but you're welcome to hire your own security for the event.

String lights set the outdoor mood, and chandeliers are available too, a nice touch inside our tented wedding venue setup in Montana.

There's a lot of flexibility with decorating here, just nothing that causes permanent damage. At the end of your event, please return the space to its original condition.

We don't have a projector on site right now, but there is a mounted TV in the common room you're welcome to use.

If you need any further technological assistance, we recommend contacting Peak Audio for all your additional needs. You can easily reach them through the link provided below:

Pets are always welcome, as long as they're fully vaccinated, well-behaved, and kept on a leash. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after them

We have 30 on-site parking spaces, plus ADA-accessible parking. If those fill up, additional parking is at guests' own discretion. We don't provide valet directly, but can help point you toward an outside vendor if you'd like that option.

Access depends on your package. The Weekend package gives you a generous 36 hours, the Standard Full Day package runs 10am to 10pm, and the Short and Sweet package gives you 3 hours.

Due to our limited storage capacity, we regret to inform you that storing items at the venue is unlikely. However, if there is no event scheduled the day before your event, there is a possibility that we may be able to make arrangements for you. It is important to note that The Patio cannot be held responsible for any items left unattended.

Your event runs for the length of your chosen package, and needs to wrap by the city of Whitefish's 10pm noise curfew.

You're responsible for setup and cleanup of anything you bring in or rent, including stacking or repacking items in their original containers when you're done.

The policy should be issued in the Host's name and must include The Patio, DBA as the additional insured. By obtaining this policy, both the client and the Venue will be covered in the event of any damages or lawsuits related to the event. Remember to submit the policy to the venue manager within 14 days of your event.
