Ready to elope in Alaska? Imagine saying “I do” in the most breathtaking locations with an all-inclusive elopement package in Alaska featuring a private helicopter and sailing trip.
Your Alaska adventure wedding begins with a scenic helicopter flight deep into Alaska’s remote backcountry, where you’ll land in a secluded mountain setting or beside an iceberg-filled lagoon for an intimate ceremony surrounded by nature’s grandeur. After saying “I do,” your helicopter whisks you away to a private cove where your sailboat awaits. From there, you’ll set off on a peaceful voyage back to Seward—toast with champagne and enjoy a gourmet charcuterie board as you glide past rugged cliffs, waterfalls, and glaciers, taking in views of Kenai Fjords National Park.
This once-in-a-lifetime adventure wedding in Alaska is perfect if you’re seeking adventure and romance in the heart of Alaska’s spectacular scenery.

Hello, I am Ariel.

Even after 10+ years and over 250 weddings and elopements, I still get giddy with excitement helping fellow adventure seekers, travelers, dreamers, and fun-loving couples plan their intentional, experience-based wedding days.

Elope in Alaska - Comments
There is a possibility to reschedule your elopement in Alaska by +-2 days, provided everyone is available.
The vow exchange location may vary depending on the weather, but possibilities include mountain peaks, a glacier, the beach of an iceberg-filled lagoon, and more!
LGBTQ+ friendly.
There is a possibility of getting legally married: Your helicopter pilot can officiate your ceremony, and I can sign as your witness. I’ll also send you instructions on how to file for your Alaska marriage license from out of state.
The marriage license costs approximately 60 USD and is best applied for in advance by mail to avoid the 3-day waiting period. I recommend sending in your application 6–8 weeks ahead of time to ensure there’s plenty of time for it to be received, processed, and mailed back to you.
Payment Plan & Terms:
A 15% deposit is payable directly through the platform to secure your date. Adventure Wedding Platform’s 21-day money-back guarantee applies.
35% after the first video call, directly to the vendor.
The final amount is due three weeks before your elopement in Alaska through a bank account or PayPal.
