Hi Tom/Alaska Weddings,
I have been meaning to send this email for a couple years now and the day has finally come. I wanted to thank you for one of the best wedding experiences ever, you and your team made it so easy. I did not want a big wedding and after putting our wedding off for 7 years we decided to go on a cruise with 45 of our nearest and dearest friends/family. While we were choosing what Alaskan cruise to go on, I searched best towns to get married in and Juneau popped up, that is when I found Alaska Weddings. Tom managed to transport our large group up to skaters’ cabin, marry us and transport us all back without a glitch. The bouquet they provided was absolutely stunning I was so upset when I realized that I left it at the little Mexican restaurant once we boarded again. This was all the way back in May of 2018.
Tom everything worked out great thank you so much – Diane Statham for Lori Elaine Fields & Duane Allen Jones
Hello Tom/Alaska Weddings,Don and I really enjoyed our helicopter glacier wedding! We really appreciate all that you did to make sure it went smoothly! What a wonderful experience and it was our first helicopter ride ever!Thanks again!Angela and Don
Dear Alaska Weddings:
Choosing to work with Tom and Alaska Weddings was amazing. Planning a destination wedding so far from home having never traveled there before is a daunting task. Working with Tom relieved all my stress and anxiety. Especially with the current COVID situation, and our travel plans changing the transition was seamless. Tom was very fast and reliable with all communication, and paid attention to all the details. After communicating via email and phone for several months it was a pleasure to finally meet him in person. The ceremony location was beyond my expectations , and he was the best officiant! We also arranged for a helicopter ride to a mountain ridge and glacier, where let me tell you he made a most excellent tour guide! It was wonderful start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, and work with him again!

Tom and Alaska Weddings,
Thank you for you making our wedding day in Juneau a memorable experience. Tom had everything ready to go upon our arrival in Juneau and we did not have to worry about a thing. He communicated with us often and was super accommodating to our change requests we made throughout the weeks leading up to our wedding day. Mendenhall Glacier was a perfect setting. All of our friends and family back home rave about the beauty of our pictures and the entire experience. 3 months later people are still approaching us in town to tell us how beautiful and neat our wedding was. Thank you for everything. We will forever cherish our wedding day.

P/S Everyone thinks Jim and I had the best wedding ever! And I couldn’t agree more.
Hi Tom/Alaska Weddings,
We could not be more grateful for Alaska Wedding for helping us plan our wedding. After a year of delays due to COVID and cancelled cruises we finally were able to get married in Juneau. Tom helped us adjust our plans throughout all the craziness of COVID travel and we had the most amazing day.

Dear Tom & Alaska Weddings:
Thank you so much for all you did in assisting us with our special day and for making it so simple. With a couple of phone calls and few emails, we were able to select our options and leave the rest to you guys. The photographer, helicopter and limo services provided were perfect, and the flowers were absolutely beautiful. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone wanting to experience a wedding as unique and wonderful as ours.
Tom/Alaska Weddings,
You took our dreams of a romantic glacier wedding and despite unpredictable Southeast Alaskan weather, made it into a reality. The day was stress free and truly unforgettable, everything we were hoping for in an elopement! We appreciate how you took the extra time to find the perfect spot on the ice, which really allowed the photographer to shine! The ceremony was simple and beautiful, truly perfect! We highly recommend Alaska Weddings to anyone looking for a unique and amazing experience. Thank you!!
Nick and Hannah
Dear Tom & Alaska Weddings,
Thank you again for making our wedding day extraordinary. You and your team made us feel right at home. Alaska Weddings completely exceeded our expectations. We will be forever grateful for the wonderful experience we had. It could not have been more perfect.
Best regards from one happy couple,
Dillon & Ashlee Munson
When the pandemic started and everything was very unclear, my fiancé and I were devastated to find out our cruise was canceled. We were supposed to take a cruise to Alaska and elope while in Juneau. Tom from Alaska Weddings was a God send! He was very helpful letting us know Alaska’s requirements for traveling there, places that were still open, finding an Airbnb and most of all arranging details for our elopement.
We are extremely glad that we decided to fly to Juneau and get married! In hindsight I think flying up there and spending a week in Juneau was a much better option than taking a cruise. Juneau has so much to offer! Even during the pandemic. While we were there we went deep sea fishing, whale watching, store browsing and had our fair share of the most delicious crab legs. The most magical part was getting married! I would highly recommend flying to Juneau for an elopement and putting your trust in Alaska Weddings to help make your wedding day a fairytale!
Sincerely,
Amanda & Evan
Tom/Alaska Weddings,
Thank you for making our wedding day fun, stress free, and special. The communication leading up to the day was much appreciated. You made it possible to relax and enjoy every moment. Art Sutch gave us many great photos to remember the day. Looking back I wouldn’t change a thing. You both are very professional and gentlemen.
Thank you!!!

Tom Stewart and Alaska Weddings are Fantastic !!!
We just had our wedding in Juneau on Mendenhall Glacier. Tom Stewart did a fantastic job and handled all of the details perfectly; From getting my wife’s bouquet spot on from a picture to providing a great photographer and the most adorable limo driver ‘Judy’ who decorated the inside of limo for us. Tom also did a terrific job performing the ceremony with a champagne toast afterwards. Getting married on the Mendenhall Glacier exceeded all of our expectations as the setting was spectacular! We highly recommend Alaska Weddings.
Jacqueline and I are so grateful for the amazing wedding!!! We could not have had a more beautiful ceremony; We will remember this forever!
Thank youGeorge & Jacqueline June 30, 2019 – Father of the Bride II helicopter glacier wedding package
Hi Tom/Alaska Weddings,
I just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful day! It was such a whirlwind and you helped us through it all; we really appreciate everything that you did. It will definitely be a day we will never forget! 🙂
Take care, Traci and Matt
Hi Tom/Alaska Weddings,
I just want to thank you for everything!
You made what is usually a very stressful event , very enjoyable for me and my husband.Thank you again!
Vicki Legler
Hi Tom/Alaska Weddings,
Thank you so much for coordinating our amazing Alaska glacier elopement; it was everything we hoped for and more! We appreciated your attention to details which made our experience completely focused on the two of us and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. You sent us a detailed itinerary beforehand, alleviating our concerns about organizing our day from over 2500 miles away, and you were very accommodating about tailoring the package we chose to completely fit our needs. Once we got to Alaska, you reviewed every step that we would be taking starting from being weighed for the helicopter ride down to how the marriage license would be handled. The personal touches you added such as adding the toasting flutes of glacial water and highlighting points of interest during our helicopter ride made us even more grateful we chose Alaska Weddings. Your recommendation of using Chugach Peaks Photography was great one; Joe made our day wonderful as well.Just as a side note, thank goodness we had Star the pilot take a few candids on Ron’s phone; our families didn’t believe us when we told them we eloped! It was a surprise to all, but it was very well received with lots of love.
Thank you again for an amazing experience!
Ali & Ron
Tom:
Thank you so much for performing our marriage ceremony on April 3, 2019. It was unconventional, but so very special to us.
Tom, from Alaska Weddings, did an AMAZING job assisting us in pre-planning in our beautiful Wedding Ceremony! He was very open & obliging to make any changes as we requested! What a beautiful memory he helped us create on the top of Mount Roberts on June 22nd, 2019!
“Thank you Tom, with all our hearts for accommodating us from being best friends to becoming husband and wife! We are EXTREMELY Happy & enjoy sharing our Love Story with friends and family! Everyday, we are very Grateful for all the AMAZING Blessings in our Life! Thank you for making our Dream Come True!!! Blessings to you always!”

Hello Tom,
Thank you again for EVERYTHING you did to make our wedding go smoothly and beautifully!! This has been a long time coming, but settling back in after our trip has taken longer then necessary. Below is our review. I am not sure where you want me to post this or if you are just looking for website testimonial. Let me know if you need us to post this on another site.
“Choosing someone, sight unseen, to entrust with our special and sacred wedding ceremony was unnerving. If you find yourself having to do the same, rest assured- Alaska Weddings is a perfect choice! From mediating issues we had fulfilling the Alaska Vital Records requirements to location selection to showing up on time at the previously designated place (despite our inability to make contact once we stepped aboard our ship a few days prior), Tom really went the extra mile. Tom knows how to get at the heart of what matches your personalities and desires when selecting a venue. Plus, the icing on the proverbial wedding cake, Tom has a warm and professional demeanor- instantly making you feel at ease and at home. We couldn’t have chosen a more prefect day, location and officiant!! Thank you Tom Stewart and Alaska Weddings for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime!”
Hope you like the attached pics. My favorite is the one where you are laughing along along with us, but I included a more somber picture in case that is a better match for the vibe you want to portray. Don’t forget to look us and our new best friends (Ken and Phyllis) next time you are in Palm Desert.
Sincerely,
Dennis and Anne-Jeanne
Aloha Tom & Staff,
Thank you all for being so genuinely kind & welcoming. You have helped to make this wedding more than I could have ever imagined and so much fun as well. We hope the “Kukui nut” Lei will bring light & happiness to your business. The Kukui plant was used by Hawaiians to burn oil for lanterns and is thus a symbol for the positive light that we all carry & share with one another. BIG hugs & Mahalo! Neena & Tim
Dear Alaska Weddings,
Mwan and I are forever thankful for everything you did to help us pull off our dream wedding. As soon as we contacted you for our helicopter glacier wedding, we knew you were the right choice. You coordinated every detail of our day, and every step of the way you kept our personal preferences at the forefront. Although we scheduled the helicopter glacier wedding, the dense fog and heavy rain had other (even better) plans for our wedding day. You completely wowed us with our backup plan, Skater’s Cabin. The limo ride there was scenic and romantic. We still talk about how professional and engaging the driver (I wish we remembered his name) was the entire day. He was so cool. We LOVED EVERYTHING about our wedding location…the historic Skater’s Cabin!, Mendenhall Lake!, Mendenhall Glacier!, the sand beach!, the Rainforest!, the fog!, and the cold Juneau rain! You arranged an elegant reception table for us inside the cabin, and our toast was a lovely, romantic moment. Thank you as well for our moving, religious ceremony.
For wedding photography, it was because of you that we found Kaley McGoey of Fera Photography! She is phenomenal! As a person and a photographer, she was the perfect choice for our wedding, and it was cool seeing the positive working relationship Alaska Weddings has with Fera Photography.
Mwan and I are still having dreams about our perfect wedding in Juneau. And it’s unbelievable knowing it really happened the way we dreamed it.
With deepest gratitude,
Mwan and Ebony Henry

I cannot thank Tom and Judy enough for making our day beyond perfect!! Here are some of the pictures. I will write an email when we get off the ship for you to use on the website if you like.
Shanna & Jeff
“We strongly recommend Alaska Weddings. We were lucky enough to experience the glacier wedding with Tom and his crew, and we both agree it was one of the best days and experiences of our lives. I don’t think we can imagine a more special way to get married. The whole event was magnificent!”
Thank you so much Tom, for making our day so special!!!
Elyse & Matt
Dear Alaska weddings,
I want to thank you for the beautiful flutes. They arrived today. They are a beautiful momento of our special day. Thank you for the beautiful ceremony. Everyone enjoyed it. And thank you for working with us on that special day.
Karen & Ben
Dear Alaska Weddings,
We would like to thank you again for the awesome time we had with everything on our big day.
On July 10, 2018, Marcus and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. This milestone was always in our future from the start, but the manner in which we celebrated our special day was the topic of many conversations. I am so thankful I have a truly romantic husband who wanted (yes, he wanted) to renew our vows, and his decision to work with Tom and Alaska Weddings is one that I will forever be grateful for. Our day on Herbert Glacier was breathtaking. The natural and vast beauty around us made the experience one that we will cherish forever. We will forever be grateful to Tom, Judy, Art (photographer) and Ben (helicopter pilot) for all of the their effort to make our special day memorable.Rhonda & Marcus – July 10, 2018
Thanks Tom,
For all your patience both with organising, and officiating our wedding day. We are so blessed to have had an Alaskan wedding undertaken by your company. Juneau was the perfect backdrop for our wedding, & you ensured we had the perfect day.
Many thanks again for all your work in organising the paperwork as well.
Kind regards , Robyn & John – July 7, 2018
Tom,
We were able to download the videos and play them yesterday. While the on-screen talent (I) was iffy, it is fun to have the commemorative tape.
Thank you again for suggesting the cabin for a venue. We both think it made the event even more special.
And, thank you so much for everything. Your caring and professionalism added to a wonderful set of memories.
All Our Best,
Jim and Monica
Hi Tom,
We just want to thank you for such a wonderful wedding. Everything was perfect! The service was just what we wanted. Please thank your wife and her friend for taking such amazing photos.
Thanks again for making our special day so very special.Kobi & Mark Carpenter – July 7, 2018
Tom,
Ken and I want to thank you for the for the beautiful wedding ceremony earlier this month. We wanted a simple ceremony and that was just what you provided . It was an amazing experience. Everything went as planned and turned out exactly as we were hoping. We especially appreciated your kindness and hospitality. Thank you!
We have included some pictures that we thought you might like. Feel free to post if you like. Let me know if they don’t come through.
Ken and Tina Masden – July 1, 2018
Dear Alaska Weddings,
Our wedding was a beautiful, fun, amazing, kick a** perfect event. From Tom’s humor and amazing planning, our photographers pro work, the pilots skill as well as Judy’s help and kindness our wedding felt like it was specifically made for us. We will forever look back on this day as the best day of our lives, not only for marrying each other, but also because of how once in a lifetime and breathtaking this experience was for us.
We are planning to come back in a few months and for our one year anniversary due to the fact this was so fricking perfect. Couldn’t ask for more.
Chelsea & Brandon – September 22, 2018
Tom,
thank you so much for the wonderful experience!! It truly was a dream come true.. Here’s a few pics from our day. Thanks again!Jamey & Nancy – August 8, 2018
We had the most beautiful, picture perfect wedding day and we have Tom and his crew at Alaska Weddings to thank for that! We were a bit hesitant to plan a long distant wedding ceremony all the way in Alaska when we were located in sunny Florida but our fears disappeared when we contacted Tom. He obliged to every request we could dream up and he accommodated every change we made even just weeks before the ceremony. The view from Skaters Cabin took our breath away! Tom and his team turned a small recreation area into our dream wedding day filled with donuts, bubbles, and the most beautiful sunny Alaska day! The whole ceremony and small reception were both perfect. We couldn’t have dreamed up a better location, or wedding team to have on our side.
Thank you Tom for the best day, we can’t thank you enough!Brittany & Jessica, July 31, 2018
Alaska Weddings and owner, Tom, were amazing to work with! We had our wedding plans with the cruise line fall through just 2 months before the big day. We contacted Tom over a holiday weekend in the hopes that he and his company could help us plan our dream wedding. He had the major pieces of our wedding put together in just 3 days! Tom and Alaska Weddings truly saved the day for us and our 61 guests. Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more! I just can’t say enough great things about this company and Tom. I highly recommend them!
Caryl & Joe – June 03, 2018
It really was a beautiful day for us!!! I’ll send you a couple of photos once we get them but it’s probably 10-12 weeks out. Everyone loved the ride and ceremony. Thanks for everything.
Deanna and Troy
Dear Alaska Weddings, We want to thank you for everything you’ve done for us and helping to make our dream wedding come true! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day or a more memorable trip. We couldn’t have done it without you! Please accept this gift as a sign of our deepest gratitude for all your help. Wishing you all the best, Steve & Carrissa Swanson
Alaska Weddings, Thank you for everything you’ve done for us! Best day ever! Troy and Deanna
Dear Alaska Weddings,
We really did and still do appreciate everything that you did for us. Our wedding day could not have been anymore special. You made us feel 100% taken care of. When Eric tells people about you he says, “He even met us at the pier, brought us to our vehicle, and made sure we got where we needed to go!” So, needless to say, Eric was just as pleased with you as I was. You are a wonderful person as well as a terrific businessman. You have found the balance between professionalism and being a “real person.” I cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us and we talk about you often. If anyone else from Litchfield wants to get married in Alaska we will make sure they know about you!
I hope things are going well for you and that business is as good as ever! We have very little snow so far this year and it makes me miss Alaska terribly.
Thank you for your guidance, your kindness, and your wisdom.
You are greatly appreciated,
Christina & Eric Kadelbach
We cannot thank Alaska Weddings and Tom enough for making our Glacial Wedding on Mendenhall Glacier as easy as possible and still something to be remembered for a lifetime. He was even able to get us an extra helicopter because we had more guests than originally anticipated! We were afraid of the helicopter ride being cancelled because the weather had been overcast and raining for the past week but the pilots were determined to get us on a glacier, even if it wasn’t the originally planned one. They did an amazing job flying with a low ceiling and they were also willing to serve as our photographers, getting some great shots of the entire group. Our limo driver also treated us to a “locals only” vantage point of Mendenhall Glacier that was unoccupied so we could take some more pictures from a different perspective. You can tell everyone involved loves their job and is willing to go the extra mile to make the experience unforgettable. We are so glad we chose Alaska Weddings!”
Jackie and Tony
Hi Alaska Weddings,
Hocine and I are doing well.We absolutely loved the wedding and the photos. Everyone who has seen the photos said the wedding looked amazing. Thank you so much!
I have attached our two best photos from the wedding.
Cheers,
Christy & Hocine
Dear Tom,
We can’t Thank you enough for making our wedding day very special and unforgettable. Your focus was on us and our requests. Nothing was overlooked. We wanted something simple, but you provided something much more than that. Our location on top of Mt. Roberts was exactly what we were looking for. It was like you reserved the entire mountain top just for us. Our request of a Christian Wedding Package was more than we hoped for. The Vow’s were beautiful and spoke with a sincere heart. A extra thanks to all who helped made this day Special. (great pics/video)
We would Highly Recommend Tom for his services.
Very professional yet Extremely Personal.
Alaska Weddings: Thanks again for everything you and your team did for us before, during and after our wedding. It was a very special day for us.
We had been planning for our wedding and pondering all those critical decisions that need to be made. Ultimately, we chose Alaska Weddings. For us, the simple wedding ceremony at Mendenhall Glacier proved to be an awe-inspiring experience from the moment we placed the call to the time we left the destination. Tom, using our list of wants and needs, did the pre-planning. All questions, paperwork and details were completed without the stress and worry. We were able to simply enjoy and relax on our day at the majestic beauty of Mendenhall Valley with a great staff. Thank you for the memories.
Matt and Karen
Mark and I want to thank you for our beautiful, fairy tale wedding. We are still in amazement over the spectacular views and beauty of the glacier. Plus the fact we were able to have our wedding on the glacier. You were a real pleasure to work with while setting this up and we were so impressed at hou professional your operation is. We really enjoyed meeting Tom. He Made us feel like we had know him for years. You really did a terrific job and we cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Linda & Mark. Please thank Art for us!
Hi Alaska Weddings! I would just like to Thank you for all of your help! Lorenz and I really appreciate your kindness and generosity towards us. I hope and pray that your business, as well as your family, will continue to be blessed by the Lord, and prosper! God bless you always, Tom! We’ll see you around!
Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Zaguirre (Yikes!) August 9, 2014
Dear Alaska Weddings,
I am writing to thank you for all your help in organising our recent wedding in Junea aboard the Silversea Silver Spirit. Mark and I are now back in Australia, but we had the most fabulous trip and wonderful wedding. We are very grateful to you for helping make this happen. It was a beautiful, yet simple, ceremony – just as we wanted it.
I’d be grateful if you could also forward our thanks onto Art for the beautiful photos he took that day for us, and for delivering them safely in time for our departure that day. I hope you were rewarded with your salmon for patiently waiting for the photo session to end.
Thanks again, Tom.
Best wishes
Lynda & Mark 05/21/2014
Tom is unbelievably awesome! He was so helpful along the way with planning the wedding and all the little details involved in our big day. He was there to greet us at the airport before boarding the helicopter and gave an awesome tour on our way up to Mendenhall Glacier! This may not sound like much, but he does so much to make sure your wedding goes exactly how you dreamed it would be! I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding! I highly recommend him and his business Alaska Weddings on Ice!
Donna & Randall
Alaska Weddings created an amazing experience that we will take with us for the rest of our lives. Tom was phenomenal, his patience was outstanding! No matter how many times I reached out with questions he was there to answer them for me.
Our entire day from start to finish was perfect and an ease. It feels odd to say I was relaxed and at peace on my wedding day but it really just felt like I was having a fun day with my best friend. The primary reason this was accomplished was because of Tom having everything taken care of and the relaxing vibe he gives off. I would highly recommend this experience and company to anyone looking for an adventurous and original wedding!
Dear Tom,
Words cannot express our sincere gratitude to you and your team, for putting together the most unforgettable experience of our lives. Planning a wedding is incredibly stressful, but planning it from 16 000 kilometres away is enough to induce a nervous breakdown. Tom from the moment we first made contact with you, our minds were put at ease. You guys handled everything, indulging every request and last minute change. We are forever in you debt and promise to look you up when we next visit Alaska.
Kind regards from sunny South Africa, and “Sala kale”
Lloyd and Cathlynn Marshall
What an epic experience!! Tom made our wedding both memorable and stress free. It’s hard to put into words how incredible the glacier was and how positively overwhelming the entire day was for us. It is now 2 weeks later and we are still floating and coming down off cloud 9. The flowers were beautiful, the cake, champagne, helicopter ride; everything was special and perfect for us. You will not soon forget this amazing experience – I cannot say enough good things.
Dear Tom,
Justin and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful wedding in Juneau Alaska. The day was absolutely perfect and something we will never forget. With us living so far away in Indiana, you gave us peace of mind and took away the stress of our wedding planning. You answered all of our questions, made everything more than perfect, and even remained patient with us when we were running late to our own wedding!! I wanted to send you a few pictures from the day so that you can share and let everyone else know how perfect our day was and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We will always recommend you and your services!
With love,
Justin and Kayla Feazel
Newburgh, Indiana
I can’t imagine a better weddings!!
We weren’t able to fly because of the weather, I was a little disappointed (at first) until we arrived at the new location, it was beyond beautiful!! I’m actually really happy we couldn’t fly, the pictures are so beautiful!!
Thank you Alaska Weddings on Ice for making our special day stress free and so BEAUTIFUL!
Quick responses and extremely helpful!!!
Everything was as stated and Herbert glacier was stunning!
Thank you for making our special day PERFECT!
Everything about my wedding day was perfect. With Tom’s help, my fiancé and I planned our destination wedding in Juneau all the way from Tennessee. He and his wife are detail oriented people that will ensure all special requests are fulfilled and that everything is picture perfect and stress-free. From the time we arrived on the cruise ship, Tom was readily available by phone and met us as soon as we disembarked from the ship. His wife and colleague met us at the ceremony site. (We opted to rent our own car, but Tom has transportation available.) Everything at the ceremony site was beautiful, from the champagne flutes to the cake plates to my Alaskan wildflower bouquet. The cake was amazing and my husband refused to part with it, toting it around the rest of the day for pictures and eventually back to the cruise ship. At one point, it started raining lightly and before I knew it, the entire set up had been moved under a cover. There was absolutely nothing I could have worried or stressed about that day. If you are planning a wedding in southeast Alaska, hire Tom. You will not be disappointed.
Dear Tom
A fairytale wedding is not just a dream but a beautiful reality when the Weddings on Ice team is at the helm! Our officiant Tom deftly coordinated every aspect of our wedding and answered all of our questions quickly – he pays fastidious attention to details so your Big Day is absolutely perfect! Our home in Florida is a long way from Alaska but with Tom’s expert planning we had no worries at all, every aspect of our wedding was covered to a “T”!
Upon our arrival in Juneau, our cheerful and nattily-dressed professional Driver, Julie, heartily greeted us and ushered us into the impeccable limousine decorated for the occasion. En route to the marriage license office, she amiably chatted with us regarding various points of interest, Alaskan history and courteously answered our questions about the area.
When we got to our GORGEOUS wedding site we were speechless. With the breathtaking blue glow of Mendenhall Glacier behind us, Tom warmly greeted us and introduced us to our phenomenal photographer Art Sutch.
Our ceremony was conducted with genuine warmth and the utmost professionalism from each member of the Weddings on Ice team. It’s obvious that they love what they do, you feel it. Here’s a simple formula for matrimonial success: The awe-inspiring majestic beauty of Alaska plus Weddings on Ice equals a true fairytale wedding you’ll treasure forever.
Our sincere thanks – Dennis and Robin Foster
Tom,
We can’t thank you enough. Our wedding on September 7 was absolutely perfect. Working with you through the planning of a long distance wedding could not have been easier. You took care of every detail and were even able to even accommodate our silly special request. The timing was perfect, the flowers were perfect. Even getting married in the rain was perfect. It was a wonderful memorable day. I am so glad you helped line us up with Art as our photographer. He also incredible job. Judy , who doubled as our chauffer and picture assistance J was an absolute joy. I had to share a few of the fun pictures with all the umbrellas. I will send another message with a few more favorite pictures of the day. You are welcome to use any of them on your site.
You are also welcome to post this as a testimonial. You are amazing. The experience was amazing and I would not have changed a thing.
Thank you ! James and Carol
Hey Tom,
We just wanted to write you and tell you how perfect you made our wedding day. From the moment we stepped off the ship we felt like everything was taken care of. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and we could tell that you had put so much thought into every little step. The setting was gorgeous and Viv, Judy and you made us feel like we were family. Even though we chose the simplest and least expensive option we felt as if you went out of your way to make it special. Thanks again.
Mark and Brittney Boyer
Tom, My husband ( now I can call him that!! =) ) and I wanted to say thank you for yesterday, we are so happy!!!! Thank you so much for everything you did for us!!!

Despite some bad weather that almost cancelled our flight, our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Getting married on the Herbert Glacier was truly a one-of-a kind experience. Tom was great to work with and took a lot of the stress out of planning a wedding. He was professional, accommodating, and very responsive to emails/phone calls. We did not have to worry about anything – other than the weather – which allowed us to really enjoy our special day. I would definitely recommend a Glacier Wedding with Alaska Weddings!
Jill & Ahmad
Hi Tom, Thank you so much for planning a wonderful event for us. As promised, here are some photos. Feel free to use any of them for your brochures or website, if you want. And if not, we still thought you might like to have a few just for your own memories. Having you officiate the ceremony was lovely. Judy did such a wonderful job taking photographs for us, she was even better than a professional photographer!! We really appreciated all of what both of you did. We tried out the Russian dumpling place, and really enjoyed it.
Best wishes,
Danielle & Richard May 16, 2017
Tom, thank you again for taking your heart and time to make that beauty ceremony a reality on the holiday weekend. Your speech and personalizing our ceremony was beyond expected and thank you for being willing to keep it Alaskan by wearing boots. Here are some photos I thought you may like of your work. You are such a sincere person and we thank you from the bottom of ours heart for doing that last minute and bringing us together as one! I’d be happy to write a review or anything you need for your website and feel free to use this photo to promote your work here in Juneau to those that come to visit here from other areas of the world!
Take care,Chris and Kelsey Childers
Hello Tom!
We hope you are enjoying your time off from wedding season! Today we celebrated our marriage with our families, sharing our wonderful memories and pictures. Our favorite port was certainly Juneau, from our ceremony to all the people we met in town, it was a perfect day! Everything you did was very professional and we can’t thank you enough for making our day effortless and memorable. Even though it was just the two of us, you put so much thought into it all, making it such a fun and special day. If we were to have our wedding ceremony all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing.
We plan to visit Juneau again! Thank you!

My now husband and I are crew members on the cruise ship Eurodam and we decided to tie the knot in Juneau Alaska, since is such a special place for us. We came to know about Alaska Weddings through the internet and we contacted Tom, from whom we had prompt and attentive response since day one.
Tom had helped us to plan and organize everything, since the location to the preparation of documents, suit and dress rental, hairdresser salon and he was with us in every step of the way. The expected day came on August the 7th 2017 an it was a gorgeous day in Juneau, it seemed like it was a wedding gift from the weather Gods to us. The ceremony happened on top of Mount Roberts in Juneau at a viewing platform with a breathtaking sight as background. We became husband and wife in the presence of our friends (our ship’s family hence our relatives weren’t able to be physically present, although they were present in heart) and the officiant was Linda, who officiated the ceremony in a beautiful way with kind and inspiring words. Nothing could be more perfect and this will be definitely one of the most memorable days of our life.
That wouldn’t have happened without the professionalism and kindness of Tom that took care of us like someone of our own family.
We are immensely happy and grateful.Juliana and Peter
Alaska Weddings,
Curt and I just want to thank you so much for helping us with our wedding. It was a long journey for us to get to that day; the wait was well worth it. You made our special day so easy and the weather was awesome, the location on Mont Roberts you picked could of not been any better. The view cannot be described with enough good words.
From the first time we talked on the phone I felt very comfortable with you and just told you we wanted something simple and easy and let it up to you. I cannot believe how easy you made our day, but it is a day that we will never forget as it was so wonderful and peaceful. The ceremony you wrote was perfect, if we tried to write a better one to fit us we could not even of come close to the words you used and the way you performed the service for us. We were impressed with the way you worked with our photographer and the advice you gave him and us to make the pictures perfect. We cannot thank enough from the time we met at the tram station, to the ride up the mountain, the walk to our place on the mountain, to the service, signing the legal papers and the ride down the mountain, you were so helpful and made us feel like we had known you a long time. Thank you for being a part of our most important day of our life.
We highly recommend Tom and his company to be a part of your wedding if you are planning to be married in Juneau Alaska, you will be impressed.

Tom –
Can’t say enough about OUR day! It was nothing less than spectacular! From all your assistance, loved that you officiated, Kaley (our photographer) had an incredible energy about her and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her, and the limo drive Mike … what a fount of information on Juneau. Even the helicopter pilot joined in on the fun and took pics for us with our phone. Couldn’t have asked to spend our time with a better group of people.
Arrangements were so easy and you were so patient with the questions etc. (working with my East Coast angst). The extra time we booked with the photographer and limo made the day that much more amazing. We learned so much about Juneau and took pictures in places we never even imagined existed … incredibly beautiful.Thank you again,
Teresa & Ken Perron
Dear Alaska Weddings,
We would both like to thank you for all your help in making our dream wedding come true. Having booked it all the way from Scotland, you made everything simple and stress free and on our wedding day we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Thank you for putting us at ease and for accommodating us with our Scottish Quaich ceremony, you would never know you had never done one before!
Our driver Mike was also extremely friendly and his knowledge of the local area was fab as was our fantastic photographer Art – you all made a great team and we would like to say a big thank you to Nelda who was the best witness ever!All the best from Ruth and Gary
P.S Your family tartan is from your mother’s side and we loved your tartan tie which was a lovely touch to our ceremony!
Hi Tom!
We just want to thank you for a wonderful experience. I can remember anxiously waiting on the ship as we watched the rain rolling in – absolutely, positively SURE that something was going to go wrong. But you met us at the dock and put all of my fears to rest. We had a great time touring the city and goofing around with the crew (where’s my port-a-potty portrait!? lol) You, and the rest of the Alaska Weddings team, created a truly amazing experience that we will never forget. We STILL tell people that our witnesses were the mountain goats – and they don’t believe us til we break out the picture! Thanks for all you do – you help create wonderful weddings for those of us that want something out-of-the-ordinary and absolutely extraordinary!
