Wedding Frequently Asked Questions

Which dates are available?
Summer weekends book quickly. Please call for available dates.

How do I go about booking rooms for our out-of-town guests?
Rooms are booked based on a 2 night minimum stay.  Booking the entire resort for the 2 nights is required. If you have more guests than we can house, we can help facilitate their stay.

What are other fees will we incur?
There is a $1500.00 facility fee. If you choose to host a golf tournament, there will be a refundable deposit of $500.00.

The wedding party is responsible for all rental costs such as tents, heaters, tables, and chairs, as well as any other incidentals you choose to rent to enhance your day.

Where do the festivities take place?
Most of our brides and grooms choose to have the ceremony on the lawn overlooking the meadow.  There are several churches in st1:place> Seeley Lake as well.  The reception is held in the Mountain View Pavilion for groups up to 140. Larger groups require renting a tent.

 What do we do in case of inclement weather?
In case of inclement weather, we will move the ceremony to the Blackfoot Conference Center. For groups over 100 you may need to rent a tent.

How many guests can Double Arrow provide for?
We can provide sleeping accommodations for about 80 guests, depending on the makeup of your group.  Our food and beverage service can provide services for up to 200 guests. We provide service wear for up to 100. Larger numbers require rentals. During the colder months when the Pavilion is not available, we limit the number of guests to 75. 

When do we make a deposit and how much do you require?
At the time of booking, we require a deposit of $1500.00 to hold the date and a 50% deposit on lodging costs.  If guests are paying for their own lodging, it works best if deposits are made directly by them.

Two weeks prior to your event we require a 50% deposit on food.  This number is derived from your guaranteed guest count for the reception.  Your final bill is based on the guaranteed count or the actual number served, whichever is greater.

How do I go about planning the details of my wedding at Double Arrow Resort?
We first confirm the date and make all lodging reservations. This is done through the front desk.  The staff can guide you through booking the rooms to best accommodate the needs of your group.  Any golfing or other activities are also arranged through the front desk.

Then it is on to planning the wedding and reception as well as other events surrounding this occasion.  This is done with the Restaurant Manager.  Ideally we set up about three appointments to get all of the details worked out.  At least one of these appointments is best done in person as a walk-through and the others can be done via our many ways of communication.  All final arrangements should be made 4 to 6 weeks prior to the wedding.

Can we bring our own food & alcohol?
No, Double Arrow Resort must provide all food and beverage service.

 I would like to have photos taken on the grounds. Is that permitted?
Yes, there are several scenic locations on site.  We also offer a beautiful horse drawn carriage, for the ultimate in arrival and departure as well as gorgeous photos.  This service can be arranged for $300.00.  This includes a driver complete with top hat and tails as well as the surrey.  A great memory!

What is the time limit on the reception?
We will close the bar and the Main Lodge no later than 2 a.m. on the night of the reception.

Will other people be at the Resort during our Wedding?
No, you have rented the entire resort.  People may stop by for information or brochures, but your guests will be the only ones staying here and dining here.

Do we have to provide meals for all guests each night?
No, on the nights when your families have chosen not to host a meal in our restaurant, we will be open to the public.  We do ask that your guests make reservations to ensure a table in the dining room.

What do our wedding guests do for breakfast and lunch?
A hearty continental breakfast is included in the lodging costs each morning. Some groups choose to host a Farewell Brunch on the last day of their visit.  We are not open for lunch, unless your group is hosting a special function.  Lunch is available at the Golf Course snack bar. We can also provide a catered lunch if you like.

Who should I hire to do the ceremony, photos, music, other services?
We have excellent florists, musicians and photographers available locally.  When you have booked your wedding with us, we will give you that list.  You may then interview them to see if they are right for you.

Where does the band set up and where do we dance?
Dancing takes place in the Mountain View Pavilion. Dancing is not available November - April when the pavilion is not available.

What are your standard gratuities?
A gratuity of 18% is added to all food and beverages and a gratuity of 5% is added to all lodging.
