Sun Valley Weddings:
the Wedding Field Guide
There’s something unforgettable about planning a wedding in Sun Valley. Nestled among the Sawtooth, Pioneer, Boulder, and Smoky Mountains, the valley is surrounded by rugged peaks, winding rivers, and wide-open skies. It’s the kind of place where the landscape doesn’t just frame your celebration—it becomes part of the story. Whether you’re planning a wedding or an elopement, Sun Valley offers an unmatched mix of elegance and adventure.
This portion of The Wedding Field Guide is designed to help couples navigate everything that makes Sun Valley unique. You’ll find tips on how to plan for high-altitude celebrations, prepare for sudden weather changes, and make the most of golden-hour light in the mountains. We’ll also cover ideas for guest logistics in more remote locations and share insights on weaving the natural beauty of the area into your day.
