If you’re dreaming of an epic, once-in-a-lifetime elopement, Alaska IS the place for you. In this guide we will go over all my fav places and where to elope in Alaska!
The land that is wild, pristine, & untouched. Alaska is truly unlike any other place I have visited, and I have been to a lot of places!
Alaska is the place for you to elope if
- You want epic jaw-dropping backdrops
- An elopement + trip! Go explore after you get married, there is so much to see
- You want nature to be the center of your day
Where to Elope in Alaska – My FAV PLACES!!
There are so many incredible locations in Alaska, but these are some of my absolute favorites!
Helicopter Elopements
If you want to feel like you stepped into a once-in-a-lifetime moment, this is it.
Helicopter tours can land you on remote glaciers, ridgelines, or places you simply can’t reach on foot. It’s adventurous, intimate, and one of the most epic ways to elope in Alaska. Honestly, when else are you going to rent a helicopter with the love of your life and fly through Alaska’s wild terrain?!
Companies that offer Helicopter Elopements:
Kenai Peninsula
When I visited Alaska, the Kenai Peninsula is just such a special place, if you know, you know. The Kenai Peninsula is a place to elope if you love the water!
Seward
Perfect for couples who want that rugged coastlines vibes, with easy access to Kenai Fjords, and that classic Alaska harbor-town feel.
Homer
A little artsy, a little wild, and full of character. Think mountain views meeting the ocean, with incredible sunsets.
Kenai Fjords National Park
This is a must if you’re drawn to glaciers and marine wildlife.
I highly recommend doing a boat day with Miller’s Landing! Just imagine exchanging vows with glaciers in the background, then spending the day cruising past icebergs, whales, and sea lions.
Fox Island
A quiet option tucked into Resurrection Bay. It feels secluded, which is perfect for couples wanting a slower, more intentional day surrounded by water and mountains.
Denali National Park
With vast landscapes, this location is ideal for couples who want something dramatic and awe-inspiring, with endless views that remind you just how small (and lucky) we are.
Hatcher Pass
One of my favorite mountain locations! It is easily accessible, insanely beautiful, and perfect for adventurous couples who want alpine views without an extreme hike.
Matanuska Glacier
Want to say your vows on a glacier? You can do that here. While still being relatively easy to access
Eklutna Lake
Bright turquoise water surrounded by mountains makes this location truly freaking stunning!
