Two Part Mountain Top Elopement and Downtown Missoula Reception

Cleo and Craig embody the values of true Montanan culture. They are both very warmhearted people that enjoy adventures in nature, spending time with their two puppies and relishing in the many amazing breweries Missoula has to offer. Their love story started at Draft Works Brewery on their first date. These two wanted to have a more climate ceremony in a gorgeous location like Quinns Hot Springs, but will also have a fun filled reception a month later at The Holiday Inn in Downtown Missoula.

Quinns Hot Springs, Montana

The morning started as Cleo and Craig got ready in separate cabins at Quinns Hot Springs. After the boutonnieres were pinned and the dress was on, it was time to head to the ceremony site. The ceremony took place at the nearby National Forrest. It was an adventurous drive up a mountain to this gorgeous opening on top.

Cleo and Craig were accompanied by their close friends and family. The most special part of their ceremony was their hand written vows to each other. After the first kiss, the couple celebrated with bubbles and bubbly. Oh, and, lots of hand picked huckleberries around them. How fun!!

Congratulations you two!

This past Saturday, Cleo and Craig finally got to celebrate their new marriage with all their close family and friends! They hosted a cocktail hour and reception at the Holiday Inn in Downtown Missoula right next to the river. The day started with their inner circle around them getting ready for the second time. After everyone was prepped, they all headed outside for family and wedding party pictures.

The cocktail hour started soon after the group photos were taken. It was a joy to see how thrilled Cleo and Craig were having all their loved ones in one place. After the cocktail hour, the reception took place inside one of Holiday Inn’s large event spaces. Reception included dinner, drinks, desserts, toasts and dancing. What a privilege it was to be apart of such a fantastic celebration.

Cheers to the newlyweds and a lifetime of happiness!
