Win a Montana Military Wedding!

Giving Back to Our American Heroes- Active Duty & Veterans

We are no longer accepting applications for the 2023 weddings giveaway and will be choosing a winner on Tuesday, February 14th.

Our United States Veterans and active duty service members have given us the security of our way of life. As Montanans and Americans, we will always support our military. We know there are some amazing couples out there who dream of an incredibly high-end wedding, and we are here to make that dream a reality. We believe in giving back and showing our appreciation to these American heroes for their service and sacrifices made for the rest of us.

Many local Montana wedding vendors (and proud Americans!) are putting together an exquisite outdoor wedding for one lucky military couple. This year will be the fourth year of throwing an amazing free military wedding. July is the most beautiful time of year in Montana, and we want to make sure that the couple gets the very best of what Montana has to offer. On Thursday, July 27th, 2023, we will host the most talked about event of the year in Whitefish, MT, at Mountainside Weddings – your wedding!
