FAQ

Good questions.

Quick answers about how we work. Don't see yours? Just ask.

What does Wildewood Events do?

Wildewood Events is an event consulting and production company based in Bozeman, Montana. We design and run founder and leadership retreats, mastermind gatherings, corporate offsites and nonprofit events, with a focus on outdoor, place-based experiences.

Where do you plan events?

We're based in Bozeman and work throughout southwest Montana — including Big Sky, the Gallatin Valley, Livingston, Paradise Valley and the greater Yellowstone region. We also produce events elsewhere in the U.S. and internationally.

What kinds of events are a good fit?

Gatherings where connection and setting matter: founder and executive retreats, mastermind groups, team offsites, festivals and conferences, and nonprofit fundraisers, galas and community events. If people should leave feeling something, we're a good fit.

Do you only do outdoor events?

No. We love outdoor and nature-based gatherings, but we plan every outdoor moment with a weather backup, and we also produce events in hotels, lodges, ranches and conference venues.

Can you help with just part of an event?

Yes. You can hire us for consulting only — concept, experience design and planning guidance — or for full management, where we handle venues, vendors, logistics, partnerships and on-site execution.

How much does it cost?

Every event is different, so we work from custom proposals based on your goals, guest count, location and scope. Share a few details through the inquiry form and we'll follow up with next steps.

How far in advance should I reach out?

As early as you can. Peak summer and fall dates in the Bozeman and Big Sky area book up months ahead, so for larger events we suggest starting six to twelve months out. Shorter timelines are sometimes possible — just ask.

Do you handle permits and outdoor logistics?

Yes. We plan for permits and land-use requirements, Leave No Trace practices, access and transportation, and weather contingencies as part of event management.

How do I get started?

Fill out the inquiry form on this page or email [email protected]. Tell us your event type, date, guest count, location and budget range, and we'll be in touch.
