AKhappenings – Juneau Alaska

Meet Jordan - Your Alaska Wedding Planner
After 8+ years in the wedding and event industry, I finally found my ultimate passion - designing and producing wedding experiences of all sizes for madly in love couples as an Anchorage wedding planner. Sure, I'm all about the luscious floral arrangements, dreamy Alaska elopement locations, intricate gowns, and creating solid plans, but at the end of the day it's you being madly in love with your person, and getting to help you celebrate your love in whatever fashion you desire that keeps me feeling like I have the best “job” in the world.

Speaking of being madly in love, I’m married to my absolute best friend and favorite adventure partner, Matthew. We had a destination wedding in Homer, Alaska 2022. I understand the chaos and happiness that weddings bring.

When I’m not busy an an Anchorage wedding planner, fluffing a brides train, flying to a glacier or designing a romantic tablescape, you'll find me in the mountains, fishing, or exploring new destinations. I love the feeling of being in nature, sore legs, and exploring whether it’s summer or powder season.

Wedding planning takes an enormous amount of energy and attention to detail; I am here to make sure it all happens stress-free! We live for the in-between moments and have learned what details matter and which ones not to stress over. We love a good challenge and aren’t into cookie cutter moments. Let me earn your trust and be your Alaska wedding planner so you can enjoy your celebration while I take care of the details.

A Few Facts About Me
I have a serious case of Wanderlust and travel every opportunity I have.

My weakness is ordering takeout more than I cook

My favorite color is pink everything, but I think it’s often over-done for weddings

I’m obsessed with the peloton bike and my body craves it at least 5 days a week

Danskos are my go to shoes even though they are considered ugly and old women.

I can’t stand being cold but love winter and snow sports.

Icecream is the way to my heart and favorite food!
