Alpenglow Lodge at Arctic Valley Ski Area 

5.0

Anchorage, AK
  • Up to 215 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,250

Arctic Valley is a non-profit ski area in the Chugach mountains just outside Anchorage. We offer the best combination of large indoor spaces for dinner and party, along with a beautiful outdoor location for your ceremony. Our lodge has large spaces upstairs and downstairs, so we can separate dinner and the party for large weddings, or keep everything together in the same space for more intimate weddings. We're an open catering and open alcohol venue, so you can bring your choice of vendors, and provide your own drinks if desired. Our chairlift is a unique experience, allowing you and your guests to get to the top of the mountain for beautiful photos and views. We offer most of the necessities as part of our packages, including tables, chairs, arch/arbor, dance floor, sound system, bar areas, and a bunch of table & room decorations. Our curfew is 1am, so you can keep the party going late! We welcome folks to stay overnight in our parking lots or public use cabins.

We found Arctic Valley Ski Lodge through a recommendation from my boss who is part of the ski team that frequents there. I went in thinking "we'll just check it out", but I was absolutely blown away. The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and had everything we needed and more. John was incredibly kind and helpful, he responded quickly any time we had the smallest of questions for him and the process was simple and easy to reserve our wedding day. They even have a package where they will do the ENTIRE DECORATING AND TAKE DOWN PROCESS FOR YOU. That took SO much pressure off of us. They sent us a brochure of all the decor they had available but we weren't picky and just told them 'make it pretty'. They delivered! The venue was gorgeous, the chairlift was AWESOME - they even kept it running longer than our contract stated so they could make sure everyone had a turn. They truly helped turn the wedding of our dreams into a reality. I remember my brother was really stressing me out at one point and one of the people working the chairlift (I can't remember her name right now unfortunately) told me "Just breathe, this is your day and they will wait for you". She was so kind and helped me to remember that stressing would help nothing and I should just sit back and enjoy the day. The next day when we came back to grab all the gear and anything we might have missed, they had boxed everything up for us, they had even taken down the photobooth! I could not recommend this venue enough, I truly had the best wedding I could have ever hoped for and a huge reason was because of these guys. They made it so fun and so easy. The ONLY thing I would say that is not so great is that I would highly recommend for the ladies to get ready before heading over, there wasn't a great amount of mirrors or plug-ins for hair and makeup in the dressing room. Otherwise? It was PERFECT and more than worth the money spent.

Salted Roots 

5.0

Seward, AK
  • Up to 50 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor

Your hosts, Matt and KellyAnn, here! We met in San Diego and have always been drawn to saltwater. We left in the exploration of more things wild: mountains to climb, waters to kayak, trails to run, perspectives to encounter. We spent 3 years on the road, living out of our car and exploring North America’s public lands and communities, stumbling upon spaces, places, and people who inspired us and ultimately sharpened the pencil that created Salted Roots. Seward won our hearts, with mountains, the ocean, and a national park right in our backyard. Alaska is wild - wild enough for us vagabonds to settle down roots… and then naturally the idea for Salted Roots sprouted. We bought the land in 2017, were married there shortly after, and began throwing together our future plans for the project with close friends. Our community helped us clear the land, build our website and make our vision a reality.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Picturesque garden backdrop
  • Rustic yet refined style
  • Perfect for a micro-wedding

Finding the right location to tie the knot can be a stressful situation, but we had zero regrets with choosing Salted Roots! We rented the entire property for our wedding weekend. The cabins were perfect for hosting our wedding party, providing a lovely getaway feel, tucked away in the beautiful trees, while still having modern comforts. The A-frames were spacious enough to entertain for our rehearsal dinner. We used little to no decoration around the property as it was already so naturally beautiful; great for photos both inside and out! While Salted Roots has a lovely setup for an intimate ceremony on the beach side, we were set on having our ceremony directly on the beach at low tide. Since the property is towards the end of the road, we felt like we had the place to ourselves even with it being a public beach. We had seals, otters, and even a rainbow appear in the backdrop of our ceremony instead...not saying it's guarantee but magic seems to happen here ;) As if that was not enough, Matt and KellyAnn were AMAZING to work with! They were great at communicating and so eager to help us envision our day, whether by taking a tour (or two...or three....) about the property or discussing logistics. Some of the best and kindest people you will ever meet. We cannot wait to return again to reminisce on our surreal wedding weekend at Salted Roots.
