Our Wedding

Meet Cute

Monica and Danny first met at Rockaway beach in Queens, NY in the summer of 2015, and had their first official date at Rockaway in the summer of 2016. They moved to Alaska together in 2019 and have lived in Fairbanks since 2023. In June 2022, under the midnight sun, by the shores of Spencer Glacier, Monica used a ruse involving gold-panning to propose and they celebrated their new engagement with a backpacking trip to a lake and a visit to the Moose Pass Solstice Festival. They have two wonderful dogs, Kovu &amp; Behnti.

Q + A

Hope

Our wedding is going to be in beautiful Hope, Alaska, a short drive from Anchorage. We recommend flying into Ted Stevens International Airport; for guests who wish to rent cars there are a number of options from there. There are a number of options for lodging in Hope, from cabins to camping and everything in between. If you have any questions about local camping, we have lots of recommendations- much of it is first come, first serve, so flexibility is key!If you bring your own camping gear, there is camping available on the property, just give us a heads-up!

Travel

There are bikes available for rent in Hope, and some world class hiking as well! Our venue is located on the Resurrection Pass Trail, which is open to bicycles, hikers, and horses.The town of Hope has great coffee and restaurants, some cute shops, and lots of cool history from the Gold Rush days!

Bike rentals and guided kayak adventures, and great coffee!
