I've been trying to come up with the best review of this beautiful venue that fully encompasses all that it has to offer. The first time I stepped on to what is now the woodland trail with River the owner, she was explaining all of her aspirations, I was sold. Even if I was surrounded by dirt & fallen trees. I knew with the hard work, determination, & talent that she & Forrest have, this would become a stunning place. That was 2019. Boy did they knock it out of the park. They have created a wedding wonderland. The pavillion is perfect for cover. Whether you use it for your seating, dancing, or both. Its large wood columns & beams give you the true Alaskan feel. As you're standing inside you can't help but be mesmerized by the mountains surrounding you or the vastness of the fields. River has also done a fantastic job in her selection of tables & chairs. The tables are large 6ft rounds that allow you to seat 8 people comfortably, & the chairs are not only beautiful but comfortable. I had multiple guest state that they were very comfortable. When it got cold in the evening, River got out the heaters for us all to warm around, she is always trying to make every experience the best it can & goes out of her way to make it happen. The bathrooms are clean, large enough for even the big ballgowns, & she even took the time to make plaques telling you about the vegetation around you that can harm you if you come in contact. I've been to many venues, I don't know a single one that has been this thorough, in not only creating the full experience of a great event, but also the care for the people who choose her venue. It truly was a dream getting married there. I can't wait to watch the venue continue to grow & become all that she has envisioned. I can't recommend this venue enough.

Salted Roots 

5.0

Seward, AK
  • Up to 50 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor

Your hosts, Matt and KellyAnn, here! We met in San Diego and have always been drawn to saltwater. We left in the exploration of more things wild: mountains to climb, waters to kayak, trails to run, perspectives to encounter. We spent 3 years on the road, living out of our car and exploring North America’s public lands and communities, stumbling upon spaces, places, and people who inspired us and ultimately sharpened the pencil that created Salted Roots. Seward won our hearts, with mountains, the ocean, and a national park right in our backyard. Alaska is wild - wild enough for us vagabonds to settle down roots… and then naturally the idea for Salted Roots sprouted. We bought the land in 2017, were married there shortly after, and began throwing together our future plans for the project with close friends. Our community helped us clear the land, build our website and make our vision a reality.

Finding the right location to tie the knot can be a stressful situation, but we had zero regrets with choosing Salted Roots! We rented the entire property for our wedding weekend. The cabins were perfect for hosting our wedding party, providing a lovely getaway feel, tucked away in the beautiful trees, while still having modern comforts. The A-frames were spacious enough to entertain for our rehearsal dinner. We used little to no decoration around the property as it was already so naturally beautiful; great for photos both inside and out! While Salted Roots has a lovely setup for an intimate ceremony on the beach side, we were set on having our ceremony directly on the beach at low tide. Since the property is towards the end of the road, we felt like we had the place to ourselves even with it being a public beach. We had seals, otters, and even a rainbow appear in the backdrop of our ceremony instead...not saying it's guarantee but magic seems to happen here ;) As if that was not enough, Matt and KellyAnn were AMAZING to work with! They were great at communicating and so eager to help us envision our day, whether by taking a tour (or two...or three....) about the property or discussing logistics. Some of the best and kindest people you will ever meet. We cannot wait to return again to reminisce on our surreal wedding weekend at Salted Roots.
