TRAVEL + LODGING
FLIGHTS
We recommend flying into Missoula International Airport (MSO). From there, it’s about an hour long drive to get to Hamilton. We strongly suggest renting a car.
You can also fly into Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN). Drive time from Bozeman to Hamilton is ~3.5 hours.
WHERE TO STAY
Airbnb + Vrbo
There are a variety of rentals in and around Hamilton. Please keep distance in mind and note that you will need a rental car for transportation.
The Hotel
THE BITTERROOT RIVER INN
(406) 375 - 2525
This is the only lodging option that will have transportation to/from the wedding.
We have a small wedding block with a discounted nightly rate. You will need to call and request the Richardson/Thompson block. This hotel is conveniently located in town and approximately 11 minutes from the wedding venue. And offers complimentary breakfast!
PLEASE NOTE: Normally this hotel does not allow wedding blocks. The staff has been informed of this abnormality, but if you encounter any issues please ask to speak with the manager, Bonnie Sue.
TRANSPORTATION
Renting a car is the easiest way to get around and explore the beautiful Bitterroot Valley. Rideshare apps are not available in the valley.
Getting To The Wedding
We will be running a shuttle to and from the hotel (The Bitterroot River Inn) before the ceremony and after the reception (~10 minute ride). If you’re planning to stay in an Airbnb please keep in mind that you’ll have to find your own way to/from the venue.
No Rideshare Services
Unfortunately Hamilton is so small that there are no rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc) or taxi services in town. Please be safe, coordinate designated drivers or plan on getting to the bus. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
One More Time
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD
Hamilton is a small town with limited lodging. Our wedding is also happening during peak fishing season so things may get booked up. Please book in advance!
Fun fact! We did the math, and with everyone coming to our wedding, the population of Hamilton will go up by approximately 4%.
