THE HOTTEST NEWEST SPOT
FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS AND ELOPEMENTS BOTH
UNIQUELY BLENDING THE OUTDOORS WITH THE PERFECT PLACE FOR FAMILIES TO
GATHER, BOND, AND RELAX
-ALL IN ONE PRIVATE LOCATION-
At Cusack’s on the Kenai, we’re not just a venue—we’re an experience, a true Alaskan experience,.
Here’s what makes us unlike anywhere else:
100% PRIVATE
While other venues may be beautiful too, many operate as public spaces—which means you could have strangers nearby during your ceremony. At Cusack’s, your event is entirely private—just you, your guests, and the river.
NATURE’S MAGIC combined with RUSTIC ELEGANCE
If we had to describe the setting in one word? Magical. Our hand-sewn spruce log lodge sits on a stunning stretch of the Kenai River, surrounded by nature and perched right on a legendary honey hole.
Our clear-top wedding tent took everything to a whole ‘nother level—bringing a new sophistication right smack into the Alaskan woods.
ALASKAN LUXURY
A beautiful log cabin with luxury accommodations—high-end mattresses and linens, marble bathrooms,
a marble kitchen, and more. It’s rugged Alaska wrapped in comfort. Lodging for 25+ included in
“Destination” Wedding Packages or complimentary Wedding Suite Night included for Alaska Shotgun
weddings—our unique “Elopement” Wedding Packages.
GATHER. MINGLE. RELAX.
The perfect place to slow down and spend real time together. Whether it’s pre-wedding bonfires or lazy
morning coffee on the deck, this is where your people can truly connect—all in one unforgettable spot.
UNIQUELY SAY “I DO” ON THE KENAI
We’re the only true wedding venue on the Kenai River where you can exchange vows right at the
riverbank. It doesn’t get more Alaskan than that.
LOW-STRESS PLANNING
Our specialty…..Enjoy the ease of having everything in one place: fully decorated event tent, selection of both tables & chairs, selection of arbors, a free wedding décor policy, on-site lodging, incredible bank fishing just steps away (no steep Kenai stairs!), complimentary fishing rods, unlimited firewood, and a grocery store just four minutes away. We have everything you need for weddings—so you don’t have to think so hard. And the best thing to make it EASY at our place……an exclusive vendor list to help you get your planning started and out of the way as smoothly as possible.
COTK’s branded “LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND FOR THE NEXT BRIDE POLICY”
Don’t waste money on a bunch of decor you’ll never use again! And don’t ship things from afar just to get that INSPO look you dream of……Our free wedding decor policy has so many cool items for every bride’s taste and style to make a wedding reception and the tables and your arbor look awesome! It’s a combination of items from past brides as well as the family’s collection.
PET FRIENDLY & RV FRIENDLY
We welcome both four-legged family members and RV-traveling guests with open arms and plenty of space to settle in.
ALWAYS IMPROVING
We’re always finding ways to make Cusack’s even better. Our current project? Converting the upstream lot into a dedicated parking area for added convenience—it may still be in progress during your tour. We’re also constantly expanding our free wedding décor collection—like the 180 clear glass goblet we just added yesterday (shhh… no one even knows yet!). Every day the free wedding decor expands with cool up to date wedding goodies!
UNMATCHED VALUE
Whether you’re planning a designer dream wedding or a down-to-earth Alaskan celebration, Cusack’s On The Kenai gives you more for your money—no question. Our wedding packages are packed with value: private riverfront access, a stunning clear tent, lodging for 25+, ceremony arbors, and access to our Free Wedding Decor Room. Even on our prime fishing season dates, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal. No one offers more in one beautiful, punch-packed bundle. The truth is, even our highest price is a good deal.
STOP BY ANY TIME OFFERING TOURS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! CAN’T GET TO THE LODGE FOR A TOUR? WE DO FACETIME TOURS ALL THE TIME!
And if you’re a true Alaskan, you know this: Nothing beats gathering around a crackling fire pit at a luxury lodge with unlimited firewood—just steps from a world-class honey hole on the Kenai—swapping stories with your new in-laws while pretending you’re not secretly scanning the river for rising fish.
