Weddings and Special Events

Fantastic Teton Views Are Visible From Tipi Camp Located On The Snake River In Jackson Hole

 

The rugged landscape of the west has been a complementary backdrop to the delicate intimacy of weddings for decades. While arriving by one of the roads that winds its way into Jackson Hole or in a plane from the skies above, the vast beauty of the area immediately envelops you. From the cottonwood lined rivers and streams bisecting the river basin, to the peaks jutting thousands of feet from the valley floor, Jackson Hole is, arguably, the best setting for weddings or special events.

A New Twist on Tradition

Jackson Hole sees its fair share of weddings each summer, and some couples are looking for a way to make their experience tying the knot in this mountain setting a little more extraordinary. Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures provides a number of activities to make that happen. Gather up your wedding party and head out for our Breakfast with the Eagles morning float with brunch, or begin the wedding weekend with unique and intimate rehearsal dinner for guests (maximum of 24 people) on the Wooden Boat Tour & Dinner.

Jackson Hole Vintage Adventure’s luxury tipi camp is located on private land, promising a quiet and secluded environment with exquisite views; an experience that few who visit Jackson Hole get to partake in. All meals, and decor are customizable to compliment your wedding style and the weekend’s activities.  Alcohol is BYOB – you can bring your own or hire a professional to make your event special.  

 

Depart the Wilson Boat Ramp on handcrafted dories, gliding effortlessly along the braided channels of the Snake River with your closest friends and family. Take in the majesty as you disconnect from the hustle, share stories with crew, and kick off a fabulous wedding weekend.

These wooden boats were born on the banks of the McKenzie River in Oregon. The design and feel of a wooden boat on the river is like nothing else. All of our boats are meticulously cared for by the guides who take pride in rowing a beautiful piece of craftsmanship down the river.

 

Wedding weekends can be a bit manic, especially for the wedding party. Instead of battling the crowds at the limited and busy brunch spots in the town of Jackson, take the opportunity to have a peaceful moment with the wonderful people you selected to be by your side and enjoy a cozy riverside brunch instead.

 

When you arrive at Tipi Camp you’ll experience true western hospitality. If you’ve arrived in the morning for brunch, you will be greeted with hot coffee as you step off the vintage drift boats and into the tranquil seclusion of camp. For those wanting to celebrate, feel free to bring along some champagne for mimosas or some Bailey’s for a good old cowboy coffee with a kick. Relax in camp around a crackling fire if the morning is cool, or learn about the flora and fauna from one of guides as you wander through the aspen and cottonwood forests. After building up an appetite, enjoy a hardy and delicious brunch specially crafted by the chefs for your group.

As dinner winds down, guests are transported into a bygone area as the group moves into the luxury canvas tipis. Made with original materials of wood and canvas akin to those of mountain explorers of the past, but with all the modern upgrades you would expect from a high-end lodge. Relax around the fire, sipping a nightcap or homemade cocoa and enjoy the comforts of family and friends as the sky fades from dusk to dark, and a blanket of stars begins to cover the valley.
