The countdown is on. Whitefish’s newest wedding and event center at Grouse Mountain Lodge is taking shape ahead of its fall 2026 grand opening.
Created by Kalispell-based design firm Cushing Terrell and Montana’s Martell Construction, the 8,250-square-foot event center is purpose-built for weddings, receptions, corporate events and retreats.
Year-round availability, seamless indoor–outdoor flow and an ideal location just steps from Grouse Mountain Lodge make the new venue the perfect place to celebrate life’s big moments, with space for up to 350 guests.
Before the toasts, first dances and moments of mountain inspiration, we’re celebrating the milestones along the way. Take a look at the latest construction updates below.
A lot has happened since we broke ground in August 2025.
Over the winter, the Martell Construction team completed the foundation and structure, raising the event center just south of the lodge. The surrounding construction zone is a far cry from the carefully manicured outdoor event space to come. But, with a little foresight, the possibilities feel endless.
Inside, the vision is clearer and closer. Vaulted fir beams and wood panel walls bring a timeless warmth to the space, while expansive, elevated windows and French doors fill the main room with natural light.
Signature touches are taking shape, too. The stone-topped bar with a tiled front facade has been installed along the southern wall. Soon the space will be abuzz with music, cheers and memories in the making. Until then, the buzz of miter saws will have to do.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Grouse Mountain Lodge wedding and event center takes shape. Bookings for fall 2026 are now open, so reach out today.
