Fall in love with your Montana Elopement

From the wildflower-covered meadows to the crystal-clear lakes tucked beneath snow-capped peaks, Montana is pure magic for your elopement. There’s something about the wide-open skies and mountain air that makes every moment feel alive and every love story feel right at home.

I fell in love with this place after my own Montana elopement adventure, and now I get to help couples craft their dream days here, too. Whether you’re saying “I do” in Glacier National Park, running through the tall grass of the Flathead Valley, or sneaking away to the Bitterroot Range or Kootenai Falls, each spot has its own kind of wonder! It's the perfect setting for a story that’s entirely yours.

Getting a marriage license in Montana is super easy! You don’t need to be a Montana resident to tie the knot here, and there’s no waiting period. Which means you can get your license and say “I do” on the very same day.

Marriage licenses are issued by the Clerk of District Court in any Montana county. Both partners will need to go in person, bring a valid photo ID (like a driver’s license or passport), and pay a small fee, usually between $53 and $60, depending on the county. If either of you has been married before, just bring proof of divorce and you’re good to go.

Once your license is issued, it’s valid right away and stays valid for 180 days, so you’ll have plenty of flexibility when planning your ceremony date.
