Wedding Venues in Cooper Landing

We booked Heavenly Lodge for a wedding venue, and I can’t say enough about how happy we are about it! The lodge and the grounds are beautiful. Cooper Landing is one of our favorite places. You’re near the turquoise Kenai river and Kenai Lake (world-class fishing, hiking, rafting, drift boating, birding!). The lodge is private, up off the highway, and has a big awesome kitchen. As a wedding venue, Heavenly Lodge provides lots of flexibility and opportunity. There is a whole host of vendors that have serviced weddings there before, so you can make things easy and go with them, or you can do your own thing. You can find ways to save money because you’re not required to hire anyone else here. It was also really important to us to be able to spend a few days with family and friends so that we didn’t just have one overwhelming day of happiness that goes by in a blur. Having a private lodge-setting, allowed us to spend time with all of our family and friends several days before and after the wedding and draw out the good times! We also booked an extra day before the wedding so we could start prepping, which I would highly recommend. Maybe most importantly, using Heavenly Lodge as a wedding venue meant we got Katy and Brian Borchers on our team! Katy and Brian (the Heavenly Lodge caretakers) are just wonderful to work with (and in general). They’re excellent communicators, answering every little question we had from the moment we booked with them. They’re very experienced at helping with weddings so they know what works, what things to watch for, but in a way where it’s comfortable to express your own vision for the day. They’re very professional and also realistic about what it means to bring a group of people to a lodge for big party!
