Weddings At Sitka Lighthouse

Private Island Weddings in Sitka. 

A Wedding on the Water

Set on a fully private island in the historic Sitka Lighthouse, these ceremonies offer a rare setting for couples who value place, privacy, and intention. Surrounded by the Sitka Sound, changing light, and open horizon, weddings here build memories that last a lifetime. 

Weddings at the lighthouse are intentionally small and unhurried, shaped around the couple rather than a preset schedule.

Planning & Details

The island can accommodate up to 50 guests for a ceremony, with space for up to six overnight guests staying at the lighthouse for extended time, such as a honeymoon or multi-day gathering. Ceremonies may take place outdoors on the decks or grounds, or indoors depending on weather and preference, with simple seating arranged to suit the setting.

Catering is coordinated through trusted local partners or brought in privately, allowing couples to choose a meal that reflects their tastes and the character of Sitka. There are no required décor packages, rigid timelines, or formal production expectations. Some couples choose a quiet ceremony followed by a shared meal on the island; others gather, explore, and return to the lighthouse to celebrate into the evening.

The property includes access to the private dock and boat, along with amenities such as outdoor gathering spaces, a fire pit, hot tub, and kitchen offering total comfort. 

Whether planning an intimate gathering or a more significant celebration, our personalized service caters to your needs, allowing you to focus on what truly matters, celebrating your love.

Let Sitka Lighthouse be the place where your love story begins, offering a unique and enchanting venue for your wedding day. Contact us today to start planning your perfect celebration by the sea.
