My husband and I had our wedding here on 8/7/21. After our wedding it has taken me a few days to gather my thoughts and feelings for this review.
I genuinely and wholeheartedly would recommend this venue to any couple that is wedding planning,... or anyone in general that is looking to throw a party that will give them enough happy memories to last for a lifetime.
My husband and I began wedding planning in March of 2020, right before we went into a state of emergency due to the pandemic. We booked with the Tundra the weekend the SOE went into effect. With the ever changing rules and regulations when it came to hotel openings, closings, max occupancy, etc. we were often left with questions of “is our wedding still possible”. The Tundra Lodge staff always made sure the answer was “yes, your day is possible”. This was such an important venue for us to have, because we wanted to make sure we could have a venue that could accommodate all of the families with younger children (even though all the friends our age ended up in the water park and arcade the most!)
Jamie, the director of catering, was always readily available to respond to emails, calls, and requests. She was extremely accommodating to anytime we wanted to tour, add things for our rehearsal and gift opening, as well as early check-ins for our guests. Words cannot express my gratitude towards her during these unprecedented times.
The morning of our wedding The Tundra Lodge was contacted by our bakers that faced a family emergency, and would not be able to deliver our deserts. Both Jamie and Jason, the general manager, came together to work with my husband on next steps. Jason went out of his way to make a trip to go get us cookies, cupcakes, and a cut cake. He made sure they were personalized the way we wanted. They both went above and beyond to make everything work. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about our deserts as well!
Our ceremony room was gorgeous, and once again, The Tundra did everything they could to ensure we could fit as many guests as they could within limits. The reception space was even better. They let us in at the times that we requested so we could start decorating early. Jamie, once again, was there again for us asking if we needed anything.
The food itself was to die for. Our guests often complimented things like the green beans and baked potatoes, saying they were the best they ever had.
During the reception the catering staff was absolutely amazing. They were so kind to all of our guests and nothing but good things were said about how fun and nice they were. Even towards the end of the night the bartender at Yukon Jacks came downstairs to ask if we’d like the bar open for guests after the wedding was over.
All in all, there was no other venue I would have wanted for such a special day. They really went above and beyond at all costs to make sure we were taken care of.
This was a venue and staff that really put us and our happiness above everything, and that’s what every person deserves.
