Lodging Recommendations

LOCATION
I recommend getting lodging in the town of Jackson, Wilson or Teton Village for easy convenience when working with wedding day vendors and being close to restaurants, shops, gas stations, grocery stores, the park, activities, etc. There are some places in the park that can be convenient as well. Lodging options in towns close to Alpine, Driggs or Victor can work. They are pretty places too, but add about an hour to your drive. If you plan on spending most of your time in Grand Teton National Park or the town of Jackson I recommend staying closer.

 
TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
You may want to have photos capturing the early excitement of your day as you are getting ready together or separately. If this is something you really want to document I recommend choosing a place that will look good in photos. Clean, modern, white walls will give you elegant photos with good lighting. There are also nice rustic options that will give your photos a moody/western feel.

*Options that have an asterisk are great options for getting ready locations.

DUDE RANCHES
An all inclusive option that provides you with lodging, meals and activities. Most dude ranches require that you stay at least a week. This can provide you with not only a wonderful place to stay, but a fun experience and a possible venue for your wedding event.

Restaurant Recomendations

JACKSON HOLE RESTAURANTS
There are so many amazing places to eat in Jackson. During the busy season (June-Sept) you may want to make reservations before you arrive. If it's just the two of you and you don't mind waiting then you can get into most restaurants. Some restaurants are closed during the off season (April & November) and those can vary so I don't have a list for off season, but you can visit the links below to see which ones will be open during your stay.

Some places are better for a celebratory meal with either a more upscale enviorment or they accomodate large groups if you are wanting to celebrate with all of your guests. I've included some basic info for these locations below.
