Wedding Planning

Each summer, I take five weddings ranging from month of coordination to full service.

Summer 2026 is full

Now booking summer 2027!

Month of coordination (6 weeks out) starts at $1800.

Planning a wedding in a remote location? Even better! Nothing gets me more excited than creating beautiful celebrations in the Wilderness.

A few of my favorites are:

-Shearwater Cove in Seward

-The Airstrip in Talkeetna

Dreaming of an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime wedding surrounded by Alaska’s majestic wilderness? Gather your closest family and friends for the ultimate adventure. A breathtaking ceremony on a glacier at the base of Denali.

Stay together at The Airstrip, a stylish vacation rental perfectly located in downtown Talkeetna, right alongside the local bush plane airstrip. This private retreat offers both seclusion and convenience, just a one-minute walk from Talkeetna’s restaurants, boutique shops, and the scenic Talkeetna River.

Your adventure begins with K2 Aviation, as you board their iconic Otter aircraft for a spectacular flight over the Alaska Range. Touch down on Ruth Glacier, nestled at the very foot of Denali, where you’ll exchange vows against a backdrop of pristine ice and towering peaks. After your ceremony, savor a glacier-side lunch before flying back to your cozy retreat.

End the day with pure relaxation — unwind in the hot tub or sauna, reflecting on a day that’s as wild and beautiful as Alaska itself.
