Juneau is a dream destination for weddings—surrounded by mountains, glaciers, rainforest, and ocean. Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, the city offers a range of venues that combine natural beauty with local charm.
At Sunny Days Events, we’ve worked in nearly every venue in town. Here are some of our favorite spots to say “I do”—each with its own personality, perks, and planning considerations.

​

​🏛️ Centennial Hall Convention Center
Located in the heart of downtown, Centennial Hall offers flexible indoor space for large weddings, receptions, and community events. It’s ideal for couples who want a polished venue with built-in amenities like sound systems, staging, and seating.
Why we love it: Central location, weather-proof, and great for larger guest lists.

​🌊 Juneau Yacht Club
With waterfront views and a cozy, nautical vibe, the Juneau Yacht Club is perfect for mid-sized weddings and receptions. It features a separate bar room, kitchen, and customizable layout options.
Why we love it: Stunning views of Gastineau Channel, ample parking, and a relaxed atmosphere.

​🌲 Skater’s Cabin (Near Mendenhall Lake)
Nestled in the woods with views of Mendenhall Glacier across the lake, Skater’s Cabin offers rustic charm and a peaceful setting. It’s ideal for couples who want a nature-forward ceremony with flexibility for setup and styling.
Why we love it: Glacier backdrop, quiet atmosphere, and generous setup time compared to other outdoor venues.

​🏔️ Mount Roberts Tramway
Take your guests to new heights—literally. The Mount Roberts Tramway whisks you up to panoramic views of Gastineau Channel, downtown Juneau, and surrounding peaks. The mountaintop platform and nature center offer a dramatic backdrop for ceremonies and photos.
Why we love it: Epic views, unique experience, and easy access from cruise ships.

I had a wonderful time planning this wedding for a cute out-of-town couple.  From coordinating transportation from the cruise ship for 24 people, to running errands (ie picking up cake, flowers, and champagne) to suggesting venues and photographers.

So, last night, for my birthday I was treated to dinner on the Mt. Roberts Tram at the Timberline Bar and Grill.  And, can I just tell you?  The grilled halibut.  To die for! I mistakenly ordered the grilled salmon with a white wine glace.  Though that was tasty, I ended up passing that around to my four year old daughter and husband.  I stole bite after bite off my husbands plate of the grilled halibut with the strawberry salsa.  It was almost like eating desert.  I wish I had taken a photo to show you.  This dish also had a striking presentation for any reception.  The pink of the berry salsa on top the white halibut with the green of the asparagus I substituted. The orzo pasta that accompanied the meal was quite lovely, but, to keep the meal on the lighter side, next time, I would ask to substitute the pasta for a green salad and keep the entire dish looking light and fresh.

We ended up splitting the chocolate bomb cake and the bread pudding.  I am not a huge of chocolate and the denseness of this chocolate cake didn't do it for me, though my daughter certainly enjoyed it.  I, on the other-hand, thoroughly delighted in the signature bread pudding with vanilla sauce.  I could have eaten the entire piece.

To all of you locals who have eaten at the tram in the past, I want to let you know the Mark Collier the new Food & Beverage/Special Events Manager is doing a wonderful job.  I challenge you to giving the tram a try and letting me know what your thoughts are.

And for you brides.  Can you just imagine how spectacular and special your reception would be on the top Mt. Roberts?

I just had the opportunity to take a cruise with Juneau Tours and Whale Watch.  What an amazing adventure.

This company has several size boats that you can rent based on the needs of your event.  You can either have your party on the boat or they can shuttle your guest to a remote beach and you can have a fabulous party on shore.

The larger boats have the capability for catering and a bar tending.  

I have many ideas on how to decorate the blank canvas their boats currently are.  And what an amazing story for your guests.  You are guaranteed to see whales or your money back.  A win-win scenario!  This is perfect for the bride in off the cruise ships (one less excursion you need to make time for), the bride with numerous guest from out of town (an wonderful adventure) or the adventurous bride and groom who want something a little different!  Plus they have shuttles from the cruise ships.

Let me know when I can plan your nautical wedding.
