Weddings are often cemented in tradition, but that doesn't mean you can't spice it up and customize your big day to be exactly what you want.

Couple Anya and Alexsei wanted something of their own: a wedding that not only included their Russian Orthodox traditions, but also had their own personal flair throughout the decor and even the guests' attire!



Anya and Alexsei were married in a Russian Orthodox Church in front of a close group of friends and family. Then they headed out to Girdwood for a glamorous, 1920s-themed reception!

Guests were encouraged to dress up in the fashion of a Great Gatsby gathering.

MEET REBECCA AND SARAH

Are you thinking about eloping to Alaska with guests? Or a micro-wedding? Good! We think small intimate weddings are incredibly romantic and brave.


We specialize in planning micro-weddings because they are a unique and special type of event focused on bringing a small group of people together to celebrate a big life event.


Both of us have been witness to transformational and intimate moments among family and friends that are nothing short of magical.

We love helping our clients find that perfect location, orchestrate great food and drinks, schedule out time for them to connect, and create a beautiful table setting styled to their personal tastes. Each time we love hearing their collective whispered "wow!" We live for these moments and can't wait to work with you to find your perfect moment in Alaska or anywhere in the world!


We take on a limited amount of clients, so we can focus on personalization and quality. By offering you a completely unique, unbundled experience you can have exactly what you want and nothing you don’t.
