Small Weddings & Elopements

Gather Close. Celebrate Fully.

Gilded Fern offers outdoor Alaska micro weddings and elopements for up to 30 guests, with lodging and two very different family-owned settings to choose from.

At Hyer Road, the farmhouse and two bungalows sit together on a property with views toward Pioneer Peak.

​

Outdoor celebrations take place on the property, while the farmhouse and bungalows add useful spaces for lodging and getting ready. The farmhouse sleeps five, and each bungalow sleeps two.

A Wedding in the Woods

Near Hatcher Pass, Little Susitna Hideaway sits on 40 private acres with trees, lawn space, a fire pit, sauna, and a cabin that sleeps four.

​

The setting offers a more wooded, secluded atmosphere for couples drawn to an Alaska cabin-and-forest feel.

An Intimate Wedding, With Room to Stay Awhile

Gilded Fern is designed around celebrations that stay small enough to feel personal.

​

Choose open mountain views at Hyer Road or a woodland setting near Hatcher Pass. Both properties can host engagements, elopements, and micro weddings, with wedding packages that pair event time with overnight accommodations and practical event essentials.
