When you picture a destination wedding, your mind might wander to Italy’s vineyards, Hawaii’s beaches, or the French countryside. But tucked quietly in the heart of the north lies one of the most breathtaking, unspoiled, and unforgettable destinations in the world — Alaska.
At Forget Me Knot Wedding & Event Co., we’ve seen firsthand how Alaska transforms a wedding weekend into an experience that feels cinematic, intimate, and entirely one-of-a-kind. Here’s why this incredible state is becoming the new frontier for destination weddings — and why your guests will still be talking about it long after the last dance.

🏔️ 1. The Scenery Is Effortless Luxury
Imagine saying your vows with snow-dusted peaks behind you, or dining under a sky that glows pink and gold as the sun sets over the Chugach Mountains. Alaska’s natural beauty doesn’t need over-the-top décor — it is the décor.
Whether you’re dreaming of a sophisticated celebration at Alyeska Resort or an intimate gathering surrounded by evergreens, Alaska’s landscapes elevate every detail effortlessly.
It’s luxury in its most organic form.

🌲 2. Your Celebration Becomes an Experience
Destination weddings in Alaska are more than a day — they’re a full experience. Guests arrive ready for adventure and leave with memories that go far beyond the ceremony.
From glacier cruises and dog sledding to cozy welcome dinners by the fire, Alaska invites everyone to slow down, explore, and connect. As planners, we curate wedding weekends that blend elegance with the wild beauty of the state — so you and your guests can feel Alaska, not just see it.

💍 3. You’ll Stand Out — Beautifully
Your love story is unique, and your wedding should be too. Hosting your destination wedding in Alaska means stepping away from the expected and embracing something deeply personal.
It’s for couples who love the idea of something meaningful, modern, and a little magical. For those who see beauty in the mountains, peace in the quiet, and luxury in the details.

✈️ 4. It’s More Accessible Than You Think
Anchorage and Girdwood offer the best of both worlds — world-class venues and easy access for guests flying in from anywhere in the U.S. Once here, everything feels intentionally slow-paced and personal.
Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, Forget Me Knot ensures every guest feels cared for, every timeline runs seamlessly, and every moment is designed with you in mind.
