A destination wedding can provide a unique and unforgettable experience for the honored couple of the day and their guests alike. When planning yours, however, you want to be sure to select the correct celebration destination for you and all your loved ones.

A location that may not spring to mind immediately, though it should, is Alaska. Offering national and state parks, historical sites, preserves, refuges and monuments that total in over more than 75 parks, wedding ceremonies in Alaska should not be overlooked as a great choice for your most special day. In addition to all these breath taking vistas found nowhere else in the world, there are plenty a luxury lodge or Alaska resort to use for an unforgettable venue, featuring all-inclusive vacations which will leave your guests wanting for nothing.

But while the options of idyllic settings for wedding ceremonies in Alaska are plentiful, they are not all created equal. It is, after all, a big state! But Halibut Cove, Alaska, near the town of Homer, offers especially picturesque landscapes and a vast array of activities for guests (who will have traveled far for your celebration!) to engage in. Alaska resort packages include fishing trips, brown bear sightings and kayaking Homer Alaska, among other unforgettable experiences involving glaciers, helicopters and more.

Wedding ceremonies in Alaska don’t have to be all about the outdoors. Staying in an Alaska luxury resort means your guests can indulge in an ample amount of relaxing, luxurious activities, such as customizable yoga or massage sessions. Or maybe they’ll love just kicking back in the all-inclusive provided hot pool or sauna while they gaze out upon a mountainous view not found anywhere else on earth.

And if your guests are animal lovers and would rather venture out into the wild, then there’s no better place to bird watch, fish, spot bears and seals, and so much more! Having wedding ceremonies at an Alaska resort is also a great option if your guest list involves any little ones. They’ll have a ton of space to explore and never experience a dull moment. In fact, what they might otherwise view as a dull “grown-up party” will now become an experience they never forget in their lifetimes!

So, as you begin researching the best destination for your all-important union to take place, consider having wedding ceremonies in Alaska as an unforgettable choice for your unforgettable day.
