Planning a Destination Wedding in Jackson Hole or Teton Valley? Here's Where Everyone Can Stay

There’s a reason that the Tetons are popular locations for destination weddings and elopements. There's something magical about our region here in Teton Valley, Idaho. With dramatic mountain scenery as backdrops, charming mountain towns, and endless opportunities for adventure, it's easy to understand why couples from around the country choose Teton Valley, Idaho, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the location to have the wedding of their dreams. 

But once you've found the perfect wedding venue, there's another important question to answer: “Where is everyone going to stay?”

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a celebration with family and friends, or a larger destination wedding week with guests traveling from across the country, Teton Valley Vacation Rentals offers a large variety of accommodations that are a perfect part of your plans. Staying in a vacation home that fits your style and needs is a big part of making your wedding experience comfortable, convenient, and memorable.

Getting Married in Jackson Hole? Consider Staying in Teton Valley!

Jackson Hole is a popular and spectacular wedding destination, but accommodations can be expensive and hard to find, particularly during peak travel seasons. Fortunately, just across Teton Pass, you'll find our beautiful communities of Driggs, Victor, and Tetonia, Idaho.

Teton Valley offers a relaxed mountain-town atmosphere, spectacular scenery (we’re known as the “quiet side of the Tetons” and our views are just as jaw-dropping), and we have a wide selection of vacation rental homes that can be a great alternative to traditional hotel accommodations.

Depending on the location of your rental and wedding venue, Jackson Hole is approximately 30 to 45 minutes away with favorable driving conditions. That means you and your guests can enjoy the excitement of a Jackson Hole wedding and then be able to return to the comfort of a beautiful vacation home in Teton Valley.

For weddings in Teton Valley itself, staying locally makes even more sense. Your guests can settle in, explore the area, and enjoy the celebration without having to travel far.

Vacation Rentals for Every Wedding Group

One of the biggest advantages of choosing vacation rentals for wedding accommodations is flexibility. Instead of booking individual hotel rooms, your guests can enjoy spacious homes with full kitchens, comfortable gathering areas, and room to relax.

For large wedding parties and family groups: Teton Valley Vacation Rentals offers more than 20 homes in our "Large Groups" category. These properties are excellent options for extended families, bridal parties, groomsmen, and groups of friends who want to stay together.

Imagine sharing morning coffee around a large kitchen island, enjoying meals together, or relaxing on a mountain-view deck after a day of wedding festivities.

For smaller groups and intimate weddings: Our collection also includes beautiful luxury homes, comfortable townhomes, and cozy mountain retreats ideal for couples planning elopements, small weddings, or romantic getaways.

For guests with different preferences: With properties throughout Teton Valley, we can help you explore accommodations suited to different group sizes, budgets, and preferred locations.

Turn Your Destination Wedding Into a Mountain Vacation

One of the best reasons to choose the Tetons for your wedding is that your guests can enjoy an unforgettable vacation while they're here!

Rather than gathering for just one evening, why not make it an extended stay for say a weekend or even an entire week? 

Here in Teton Valley, we are fortunate to be able to offer activities for almost every interest, making it easy for wedding guests to enjoy time together before and after the big celebration.

Warm-Weather Wedding Activities: Summer and early fall are popular for mountain weddings as the temperatures are moderate, the scenery at its peak, and the opportunities for locations nearly endless. Beyond your wedding, the possibilities for outdoor recreation and fun are also exciting. Here are a few ideas: 

• Golf: Teton Valley has three public golf courses, offering beautiful mountain scenery and a fun opportunity to organize a pre-wedding golf outing.
• Guided Fly-Fishing: Our region is famous for its exceptional trout fishing on the local Teton River and nearby Snake River. Guided fishing trips are a wonderful way for guests to experience one of the area's most treasured outdoor traditions.
• Hiking and Mountain Biking: From scenic valley trails to more challenging mountain adventures, there's something for nearly every experience level. Grand Targhee Resort is especially popular for its summer mountain biking and hiking opportunities. 
• ATV and Off-Road Adventures: For guests who enjoy a little more excitement, guided off-road excursions and designated ATV trails provide a memorable way to explore the surrounding mountains and forests.
• Slower paced fun: And for those who prefer a slower pace? Scenic drives, wildlife watching, shopping, cocktail hours, coffee shop hangouts, and relaxing on a vacation rental deck with mountain views can all be just as enjoyable.

Winter Wedding Activities: A winter wedding in the Tetons brings an entirely different kind of magic, with snow-covered mountains, cozy fireplaces, and beautiful alpine scenery.

Guests can spend their free time downhill skiing or snowboarding at Grand Targhee Resort, exploring groomed cross-country ski trails, or enjoying guided snowmobile adventures in designated recreation areas.

After a day in the snow, there's nothing quite like returning to a comfortable vacation home to warm up, enjoy a meal, and spend time together.

Spa Days, Great Food, and Relaxation: Not everyone wants an adventure-packed wedding weekend, and that's perfectly fine. Teton Valley also offers wonderful opportunities to relax and indulge. Stillwaters Spa at the Bronze Buffalo at Teton Springs resort in Victor offers a lovely option for guests interested in scheduling some pampering. It's worth checking current services, availability, and reservation requirements in advance. We also have a variety of yoga, pilates and other exercise studios in Victor and Driggs that offer private sessions for groups you can check out too. 

Dining in Teton Valley, Idaho: Our valley also has a surprisingly diverse and delicious dining scene, from casual breakfast cafés and coffee shops to wonderful restaurants and exclusive wine bars for special evenings out.
