Arctic Valley is a non-profit ski area in the Chugach mountains just outside Anchorage. We offer the best combination of large indoor spaces for dinner and party, along with a beautiful outdoor location for your ceremony. Our lodge has large spaces upstairs and downstairs, so we can separate dinner and the party for large weddings, or keep everything together in the same space for more intimate weddings. We're an open catering and open alcohol venue, so you can bring your choice of vendors, and provide your own drinks if desired. Our chairlift is a unique experience, allowing you and your guests to get to the top of the mountain for beautiful photos and views. We offer most of the necessities as part of our packages, including tables, chairs, arch/arbor, dance floor, sound system, bar areas, and a bunch of table & room decorations. Our curfew is 1am, so you can keep the party going late! We welcome folks to stay overnight in our parking lots or public use cabins.

“We found Arctic Valley Ski Lodge through a recommendation from my boss who is part of the ski team that frequents there. I went in thinking "we'll just check it out", but I was absolutely blown away. The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and had everything we needed and more. John was incredibly kind and helpful, he responded quickly any time we had the smallest of questions for him and the process was simple and easy to reserve our wedding day. They even have a package where they will do the ENTIRE DECORATING AND TAKE DOWN PROCESS FOR YOU. That took SO much pressure off of us. They sent us a brochure of all the decor they had available but we weren't picky and just told them 'make it pretty'. They delivered! The venue was gorgeous, the chairlift was AWESOME - they even kept it running longer than our contract stated so they could make sure everyone had a turn. They truly helped turn the wedding of our dreams into a reality. I remember my brother was really stressing me out at one point and one of the people working the chairlift (I can't remember her name right now unfortunately) told me "Just breathe, this is your day and they will wait for you". She was so kind and helped me to remember that stressing would help nothing and I should just sit back and enjoy the day. The next day when we came back to grab all the gear and anything we might have missed, they had boxed everything up for us, they had even taken down the photobooth! I could not recommend this venue enough, I truly had the best wedding I could have ever hoped for and a huge reason was because of these guys. They made it so fun and so easy. The ONLY thing I would say that is not so great is that I would highly recommend for the ladies to get ready before heading over, there wasn't a great amount of mirrors or plug-ins for hair and makeup in the dressing room. Otherwise? It was PERFECT and more than worth the money spent.”
