Time to cover some ground rules...
A few ground rules for your Whitefish event venue. Planning an event involves a lot of moving pieces, so here are the key points to know before your big day.
- VENUE ACCESS: All deliveries and vendors need to be scheduled in advance with your venue host, and must happen within your rental period. Need extra time on site? Additional hours are billed at $400/hr.
- PAYMENT TERMS: A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your date. The remaining balance is due no later than one month before your event.
- Rentals FROM OUTSIDE VENDORS: If you're bringing in rentals from outside vendors, coordinate delivery and pick-up times with your venue host, and keep them within your rental period. Once you're done, return items to their original containers or packaging and place them under the designated tent area outside.
- DECORATIONS:
Decorations are all you: you provide and set them up. As an outdoor wedding venue in Montana with flexible indoor and outdoor space, The Patio can be tailored to your vision as long as nothing causes permanent damage. If you need extra day-of coordination or staffing, just let us know.
- Fire pits: Want us to provide and tend the fire pits for you? That service is available for an additional fee, or you're welcome to bring your own firewood. Whoever's tending the fire, make sure it's fully extinguished when you're done and that fire pit use follows local safety regulations.
- Personal Items: Please take all personal belongings with you at the end of your event. The Patio isn't responsible for anything left behind.
- Noise Ordinance:
Heads up, the city of Whitefish enforces a noise ordinance starting at 10 PM, so plan your music and toasts accordingly.
- Parking:
The Patio has 30 on-site parking spaces, plus ADA-accessible parking. If your guest count calls for more, just contact us.
- Insurance:If you're not booking bar service through Treasure State Hospitality, you'll need to obtain your own event liability insurance.
- Pets:
Well-behaved, leashed, and fully vaccinated pets are always welcome at The Patio. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after them.
- Smoking:
Smoking is only permitted in designated areas on the property.
- Damages:
Any damage to the property may result in additional charges.
- ALCOHOL:
As a Montana wedding venue with bar service, The Patio requires all alcohol to be served by a licensed bartender, per Montana state law. Treasure State Hospitality is our exclusive bar service provider, so all alcohol service on property runs through them.
- KITCHEN: As a wedding venue with a catering kitchen, we ask that anyone using it follow the kitchen closing guidelines provided for your event. If you use our dishes and silverware, an additional fee applies for cleaning.
