I was recently invited to go and do a site inspection at Fox Island Wilderness Lodge with Kenai Fjord Tours. They are looking to host some weddings on this remote island and wanted me to take a look.
What a fantastic place for a wedding!!! This island is so beautiful and you would have it all to yourself. There is a main lodge where the tour boats drop off their passengers for a salmon bake lunch. The lodge is plenty big for 100+ guests and the catering staff was amazing. We were dropped off at the same time and after lunch we were invited to stay the night in one of their private cabins while the other passengers loaded back up on the boat for a sightseeing tour.
Our cabin was a short walk down the beach. The beach is a rock skipping maniac's dream! And the view was absolutely breathtaking. We even went when it was raining, I can't imagine how awesome it would be if it were sunny.
If I remember right there were about 5 private cabins and a "common area" cabin. This smaller common area is where we had our dinner and breakfast the following day. Chef Chris prepared our meals and they were very good. The dishes were packed with fresh produce and seafood. For example my breakfast was a fritatta with a king crab sauce. wow! This smaller common area would be an ideal spot for the rehearsal dinner. It is very intimate, comfortable, and not lacking in Alaskan charm.
The private cabins are plenty big for a bride to get ready in. The staff is very accommodating and ready to help. I can't wait to plan my first wedding here!!
