What to Wear?
We want you to feel both stylish and comfortable!
Think Alaskan-chic: something you can move in, layered for the evening chill but still classy enough for our celebration. We suggest bringing a pair of walking shoes for exploring the Conservation Center. Dress comfortably but with a touch of flair—whether that means a dress with a warm wrap or a suit with a relaxed vibe. We can’t wait to see your personal style shine through!

About the Venue
All proceeds from our wedding costs go directly to support Alaska Wildlife Conservation.
We’re thrilled to celebrate our wedding at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC), a place dedicated to preserving Alaska’s incredible wildlife. Our ceremony will take place at The Point, a picturesque location with sweeping views of Turnagain Arm, mountains, and native wildlife—a stunning scene for our vows.
The reception will follow in Bison Hall, a rustic yet elegant space with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a moose antler chandelier, and expansive windows that showcase Alaska’s natural beauty.
We’re also setting up a dedicated children’s room in the Breakout Room/Classroom, giving kids their own fun space to play and unwind with supervision during the celebration.
To make the experience even more memorable, we’re offering a wildlife presentation where guests can meet a reindeer or porcupine up close—a unique opportunity to celebrate Alaska’s wildlife together.
