Wedding vendors in Jackson, WY

Jackson Hole is a destination wedding valley at 6,200 feet with the Tetons on one side and the National Elk Refuge on the other, and it runs on a short calendar. The season is mid-June through September, with wildflowers in July and gold aspens in the last two weeks of September, then a quiet shoulder before the ski lifts open in December. Couples marry at ski-resort lodges in Teton Village, on ranches around Wilson and Moose, at permitted sites inside Grand Teton National Park, and in Jackson itself around the antler arches of the Town Square. The ranges below are drawn from the Salt Lake City market, where many teams who work Jackson are based. Here's what a Jackson Hole wedding actually costs, where couples get married, and when to book.

Where couples get married in Jackson

Town of Jackson

Western-style halls, hotel ballrooms and restaurants around the Town Square, walkable for guests and the easiest place to host a rehearsal dinner.

Teton Village & Wilson

Ski-resort lodges at the base of the tram, plus ranches and river properties toward Wilson with the Teton Range filling the background.

Grand Teton National Park

Permitted ceremony sites with the range at your back, limited in group size and time of day, followed by a reception back in the valley.

Star Valley & Teton Valley

Alpine, Afton and Driggs, forty-five minutes to an hour out, where lodging and ranch venues cost less and availability opens up.

When to book in Jackson

The window is mid-June through September, and Saturdays at the resort lodges and ranches book 12 to 18 months ahead, with the last two weeks of September, when the aspens turn, the most sought-after of the year. Lodging is the real constraint: summer rooms are few and expensive, so secure a room block before the venue contract is dry. Afternoon thunderstorms are routine in July and August and nights drop near freezing even midsummer, so plan heaters and a tent. Fall Arts Festival in mid-September and the Fourth of July stretch the town, and the Christmas-to-New-Year ski weeks are winter's priciest. October and May are quiet, with many businesses closed.

Common questions

How much does a wedding cost in Jackson, WY?

The ranges above are drawn from Salt Lake City, which covers many of the vendors who travel to Teton weddings. Jackson Hole is a resort market, and resort lodges, peak-summer Saturdays and anything inside the national park tend to land at the top of these ranges or beyond them, while Star Valley and Teton Valley venues bring things back down. Travel fees for out-of-valley vendors and lodging for guests are the two costs couples most often underestimate. Use the ranges as a starting point, and Our Day negotiates exclusive rates on your behalf.

When should I book Jackson, WY wedding vendors?

Book a July or late-September Saturday 12 to 18 months ahead, starting with the venue, the room block and the photographer, since local photographers and planners work a season that's only about fifteen weekends long. National park ceremony permits have their own lead time and group limits, so start that application as soon as you have a date. June, weekday and winter dates outside the holiday weeks are markedly easier, and vendors driving in from Salt Lake City or Idaho need travel and lodging confirmed early.

Does Our Day cover Jackson, WY?

Yes. Our Day matches couples nationwide, and Jackson is covered, with photographers, venues and planners the deepest part of our local data; the cost ranges above draw on our Salt Lake City data (about 450 vendors), which includes many of the teams who travel to the Tetons.
