Why did you pick your venue: “It sort of picked me. We were looking for an outdoor/indoor venue that could broadcast all the “Alaskan feels” that we were wanting. I had already sent out save the dates with no venue yet! I was in a frantic to find a place to hold more than 150 people and when I called, Cathy said the date which I wanted had just became available that week, it was a best case scenario. Such a beautiful place, would highly recommend.”

Best part of the venue: “The food!”

Why did you pick your dress: “It was everything I did NOT think I would get. I pictured myself in formfitting lace or silk, this was a total tulle ball gown. I cried when I put it on. I pranced around and twirled non-stop at BBB

PS- the fur stole I purchased from David Green and it was a necessary splurge. Felt like a queen on Game of Thrones.”

Three words to describe your day: “Cozy, Crisp, and Charismatic”

How you met: “He was my fitness instructor!”

How they proposed: “Hiked up Kilimanjaro in February 2019, he proposed at the summit during the sunrise. The bar has been set high, even for his standards!”

Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “September by Earth Wind Fire will forever be stuck in my head.”
