    Magical venue

    I truly can’t say enough good things about Cusack’s on the Kenai, I feel so lucky to have gotten married at this magical place! What we loved most is that you get the entire lodge for three days (as opposed to a few hours for other venues). That means that ~20-30 friends and family have an incredible place to stay for 3 nights, with an industrial kitchen, huge river-front lawn, and lots of extras. Cusack’s gives you full privacy and freedom, so the place is completely yours for 3 days with very minimal rules. However, if you do need them for questions or help, they will show up with just a phone call. Jenny helped us find vendors and answered all of our questions as we were planning for the wedding. She and others at Cusack’s are so sweet and truly want your wedding to be amazing! They also provide chairs, tables, alters, and tons of other little things that make the process so much easier! We also felt like this was a great value for how much you get.

    Naomi. Thank you so much for that! That is what we aim for and I'm so happy to hear that kind of feedback. I'm glad you guys had an awesome time. You guys were so easy to deal with. We wish you the best of luck in your lives together! And we hope you come back some day!
    Sincerely,
    Jenny

    Amazing wedding venue!

    I was so fortunate to get married at Cusacks on the Kenai on 6/12/21 and it couldn't have gone more perfect. The venue is absolutely amazing and it is right on the Kenai River. There is so many rooms and beds for friends and family to sleep in. All the amenities are there as well, besides food.. you really dont have to bring anything else. Jenny has a "pay it forward" system with brides, and provides a whole room of wedding decor that you can use free of charge (its ALOT of stuff, like ALOT) and all they ask is to leave a couple things behind for future brides. You get tables, chairs, a bar already set up with lights, kitchen ware, bikes, and more. Its amazing how much comes with the venue for the price. Staff is incredibly helpful and attentive. I must have had multiple people come up to me leaving their name and number saying if I needed anything, even at 2 am to let them know, it was very reassuring. 100% would recommend getting married at Cusacks on the Kenai. I couldn't say enough good things about the venue. Thank you for making my wedding weekend so amazing and to have memories that last a lifetime!

    Amazing experience for a close family wedding.

    I'm so beyond happy with how our special day turned out. The lodge setting was beautiful and allowed us to have the whole bridal party stay together for the whole weekend. Our family was able to rent the Cusacks cabin next door as well, which worked out perfectly. We set up tents by the river and had own forest fairytale. Jenny made us feel so welcome from day one and helped make everything go smoothly. I highly recommend

    Cusack's On The Kenai's reply:

    Ah Degen! Thank you for that! It was an honor to have you guys at the lodge for your big day! You guys are such a cool couple! I love your idea of a honeymoon-that was the best! I enjoyed following you on your RV travels throughout all those countries! What an awesome group of Alaskan crazies who came out to your wedding and who definitely knew how to have fun! And I love your wedding photos saying your vows on the river bank with the caribou antlers!

    beautiful cabin and river front access

    Thrilled that we chose this venue for our small intimate wedding. Jenny is amazing and we loved all the amenities they have to offer. Having a river front property was a must and it was serene and made for beautiful pictures

    We couldn’t be happier with Cusack’s as our venue.

    We searched all over the state of Alaska for the perfect venue for our wedding and Cusacks was perfect, it certainly didn’t disappoint. It’s a huge, beautiful lodge right on the Kenai River, with a beautifully landscaped yard that was perfect for the tent we rented. The owner is amazing, she is so accommodating, helpful, and just all around great to be around! We are so happier with this venue, and our out of state guests sure loved it too!

    Cusack's On The Kenai's reply:

    Thank you Shay! That was so sweet! You guys were such a fun couple! It was a pleasure having you both at the lodge for your special day! I loved that you guys wore your XTRATUFs, that was so cool! It made the wedding photos just that much better! It was awesome! So Alaskan!!

    Dream Come True Wedding Venue

    This was the perfect place for my wedding. I had everything we needed or could have ever wanted from a wedding venue. My special day lasted all weekend and I was able to share it with my entire family almost 30 ppl. They supplied tables and chairs and helped set up for my wedding I had 100 guests. The fishing was amazing, the lodge had everything we needed to cook, entertain and keep the oldest and the youngest happy. I want to go back every chance I get. My new favorite place in the world!!

    The best venue any couple could dream of!

    I cannot day enough amazing things about everyone at Cusack’s, they went above and beyond all expectations anyone could think of. From being the most positive people, saving our most memorable day when we lost our original venue 3 weeks before our wedding, to helping us set up until the very last second. I cannot thank them enough, we absolutely cannot wait to host more events here in the future.

    From a spacious large lawn, river front view, fishing, a fire pit, a huge lodge, to the best hot tub ever; they really do have it all. They even have decor available for use!

    I truly wish I could give them more than 5 stars, thank you all again for everything you did for us!

    Andrea,

It truly made Shane and I feel so good to help you out and to see it become such a perfect beautiful wedding day!

    The best Alaskan lodge

    I had the absolute best experience working with Jenny on creating my dream wedding! She got back to quickly regarding my questions, the lodge was perfect and very clean and out did my expectations! If you are wanting a true AK wedding on the Kenai River, this is the place!

    Cusack's On The Kenai's reply:

    Oh Kaylynn, you are too kind! You were one of my first weddings at the lodge and I'll never forget your gorgeous face in your beautiful wedding dress! It was a great event and I especially remember the gun shots fired off by one of your guests in celebration!! Fireworks weren't allowed so they made it even better! Outside of city limits has its perks! And of course, I love the family you entered, long time family friends of ours, and was so pleased you chose the lodge to have your wedding!
