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.

“As a wedding planner in Alaska, I’ve had the pleasure of planning numerous weddings at Arctic Valley, and it remains one of my favorite venues for couples seeking a breathtaking, Alaskan backdrop. With its stunning mountain views and wildflower- and berry-filled hills, Arctic Valley offers a gorgeous setting that feels miles away from the city—yet it’s conveniently close to Anchorage. The lodge provides the perfect space for hosting wedding receptions, and dancing late into the midnight sun. For couples looking for a truly Alaskan experience, this venue delivers in every season, but summer and fall weddings here capture Alaska at its absolute best. If you’re dreaming of a mountaintop wedding surrounded by nature, Arctic Valley is an incredible choice! — Jordan AK Happenings”
