Each section of the ballroom features 30-foot ceilings with large skylights. Section A also features a wall of south-facing windows with stunning views of the Chugach Mountain Range.

This large foyer outside of the Tikahtnu Ballroom features floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of Anchorage and the surrounding Chugach Mountains. It is a perfect space for your wedding ceremony prior to your reception in the ballroom.
