Miller’s Landing is a 100% locally owned, family-run wedding and elopement venue located on a historic oceanfront homestead in Seward, AK, at the edge of Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords. Established long before Alaska became a state, the property has remained in the same family for generations and continues to be shaped by a deep respect for land, water, and community.
We offer venues and access for weddings and gatherings of many sizes — from simple, private elopements reached by boat to large-scale celebrations hosting up to 1,500 guests. Our north property features expansive waterfront grounds and a 60×60 event tent that accommodates several hundred guests, while a secondary waterfront property offers an intimate setting for gatherings of up to 60 people.
For couples seeking something smaller and more remote, our private elopement charters provide access by boat to some of Alaska’s most iconic landscapes, including sea stacks and spires, quiet fjords, waterfalls, and views in front of hanging and tidewater glaciers. These experiences function as private charters with a licensed captain, allowing couples to reach places that feel quiet, wild, and deeply personal.
Miller’s Landing is also an active coastal outfitter, offering fishing charters, water taxi services, and kayaking access directly from the homestead. For destination weddings, this allows couples to offer their family and friends a full Alaska experience from one location. Many wedding parties charter fishing boats during their stay, catching fresh halibut and salmon that are later cooked and shared with their guests. Evenings often end gathered around our large beachside bonfire pit.
We offer on-site lodging across the property, including cabins, yurts, camping cabins, tent sites, and RV spaces. RV and tent camping provide an accessible and economical way for guests to experience Alaska while attending a destination wedding. Depending on the event and property reserved, RV sites, tent camping, and select lodging are often included in the venue rental.
Miller’s Landing operates as a venue, not a full-service wedding planning company. We provide the space, access, and select on-site services, while couples retain full creative control over their event. We offer in-house alcohol service under a resort liquor license and catering through our on-site café.
We are not a resort, a chain, or a multi-state operation. Miller’s Landing is a working family homestead, offering weddings and elopements where Alaska is not just the backdrop — it’s part of the celebration.

I grew up at Miller’s Landing, working the grounds and learning the water from a young age. This homestead has always been home — shaped by tides, weather, hard work, and family. My brother and I officially purchased the business from our parents ten years ago, continuing what they built while staying true to the land and community that raised us.
Over the years, I spent significant time away from home working in the restaurant industry, doing everything from washing dishes and line cooking to bartending and managing. I’ve also worked aboard research vessels traveling between Antarctica and the Arctic, experiences that exposed me to many different cultures, crews, and ways of working together. Those years away gave me a broad skill set and a deep appreciation for adaptability, hospitality, and clear communication — all of which I bring back to Miller’s Landing.
I’m a licensed captain and am often the one running elopement charters, taking couples by boat to quiet coves, fjords, and wild stretches of coastline to exchange vows. One of the things I value most is that no two weddings here are ever the same. Each celebration reflects the couple themselves, not a preset formula, and I take pride in offering a place where people can truly make the day their own.
I was married right here on the beach, and now my own kids are often running around the homestead, growing up much the same way I did. Miller’s Landing isn’t just where I work — it’s where my family lives, plays, and continues to put down roots.
I’m a lifelong Alaskan, and I love helping people fall in love with the place I call home. Miller’s Landing is a deeply local, bespoke, family-run venue, and sharing it with couples and their families is something I take great joy and pride in.
