Welcome to weddings at Riddle’s Fishing Lodge with True North Events & Design! I’m Britt, the owner of both this family-operated lodge on the banks of the Kenai River and a boutique event planning business.
We’ve been operating as a fishing lodge for over 35 years, and now we’re excited to offer our turnkey venue for weddings on weekends in June and the first two weekends in July for 2025 and beyond. You rent the space, and then, if you’d like, you can hire True North Events & Design to handle the planning and execution of your event.
Our venue rental includes everything you need for a magical celebration with up to 75 of your nearest and dearest, including white resin folding chairs, banquet tables, and a covered dance floor on the 25×25 ft deck overlooking the Kenai River. Plus, you’ll have access to our on-site amenities since you will have rented the whole place, including a covered riverfront barbecue area, a walk-in refrigerator and freezer, and propane heaters. And, with lodging for 18 people on-site for three nights, you can enjoy a weekend-long celebration with your loved ones.
Check-in is after 3 p.m. on Thursday, and check-out is 3 p.m. Sunday. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable, but if we can fill out your date, we will refund your deposit with less banking fees. While we hope you choose to work with us for florals and planning, we understand that not all couples have the budget. If you’d like to DIY your wedding or work with another planner, we can recommend the vendors you will need to secure for items not included in our package.
The weekend rental price of the venue with the above amenities from Thursday to Sunday for June 2025 and early July 2025 weddings will be $13,000 plus sales tax. Please email Britt at riddlesfishing@gmail.com for more details on what these packages include.
If you’re looking for full planning services, floral design, event styling, and day-of coordination, Britt is also available for hire for these services on-site. All floral and design work pictured are Britt’s work from past events. Floral budgets for 50-75 person events range from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on your design aesthetic and needs.
We believe in quality over quantity and only hold weddings on four weekends per season. We aim to make your wedding about your love and loved ones, so we don’t offer one-day packages. We hand-select every element in our wedding packages with you in mind. We’re committed to ensuring your comfort and happiness throughout the planning process and on your special day.
