Planning a wedding in Alaska is a dream come true—but having the right vendor team can truly take your day from beautiful to unforgettable. As a photographer, I get to witness the behind-the-scenes magic that makes weddings seamless, joyful, and uniquely you. Over the years, I’ve worked with some amazing professionals who consistently go above and beyond for couples, and I’m so excited to share some of my absolute favorites.

Whether you’re planning a big celebration or an intimate elopement, here are the Alaska wedding vendors I know and trust:

Wedding Planning: AK Happenings

Why I love working with her:

AK Happenings brings a calm, collected presence to every wedding day—no matter how remote or wild the setting. She handles logistics with ease and creates thoughtful, cohesive designs that reflect each couple’s style. Whether you’re dreaming of a mountaintop ceremony or a cozy lodge celebration, she makes it all come together beautifully.

Florals: The Teal Door & Honeybloom Floral

The Teal Door leans into wild textures and romantic palettes that reflect the heart of Alaska. Their work always feels effortless and refined—perfect for adventurous couples.

Honeybloom Floral brings a fresh, whimsical touch to wedding florals, with arrangements that feel both elevated and organic. I love how their designs pop in photos without overpowering the natural landscape.

Hair & Makeup: Glam by Cathy & Doll House AK

Glam by Cathy is a pro at crafting timeless looks that last through Alaska’s unpredictable weather. She’s detail-oriented, professional, and knows exactly how to bring out your natural beauty.

Doll House AK brings fun, good vibes and flawless glam that photographs beautifully. Both teams create looks that hold up against wind, rain, and whatever the wild throws your way.

Catering: The Tickled Pear & Alaska Coastal Catering

The Tickled Pear serves up creative, fresh cuisine that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. I’ve seen guests rave about their food time and time again.

Alaska Coastal Catering offers incredible locally inspired menus and an exceptional guest experience. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a full reception spread, they deliver every time.

Helicopter Tours: Alaska Helicopter Tours & Sheep Mountain Air

Alaska Helicopter Tours makes glacier landings and mountaintop vows possible. They’re pros at keeping couples safe while making it all feel like an epic adventure.

Sheep Mountain Air is another amazing option, with access to more remote areas and absolutely stunning flight routes. Their pilots are

knowledgeable, friendly, and great with timing for light and photos.
