My wife and I used Great Land Events, LLC to cater and DJ our wedding at Crow Creek Mine in Girdwood, Alaska. From the moment we discovered the Great Land Events team to the very end of our wedding night, the level of service was nothing but exceptional. Great Land Events office appears to be a residential home turned into a business center and the space is great for creating an engaging and intimate discussion about event details and coordination. When my wife and I first arrived, we were surprised and immediately excited to be greeted with a choice of beverage options which included a glass of beer or wine amongst many others. This created an atmosphere to talk about our wedding needs, desires, and wishes as if we were discussing amongst close friends. After our initial meeting with Great Land Events, a quote for services and other options was provided in an expedient timeframe. Great Land Events was always on top of communication and coordination through the entire planning phases. The team was never phased by additional requests as details for our wedding were ironed out, with revised quotes following shortly behind. I highly recommend sampling Great Land Events food options as the team will provide samples for what you’re interested in as well as some additional items you did not know you were interested in until you tried them. The samples were prepared and warmed in the same manner in which Great Land Events intends to serve the food items and is a very accurate representation of how the meals will taste. On our wedding day, Great Land Events was prompt and timely, professionally attired, and ready to go with no hiccups. The team did a phenomenal job at communicating through our designated point of contact for the day, thus creating a very stress free (well as stress free as a wedding can be) environment. The DJ services were top-notch as well and did a fantastic job at selecting music based upon our previously submitted songs list. The dance floor was never empty, at least from my recollection of the night, and everyone had a fantastic time. The food was also a very big crowd pleaser; everyone at our wedding had nothing but great remarks about the service and quality Great Land Events provided. To anyone reading this and considering Great Land Events for a wedding, or any other function, I would hands down recommend Great Land Events and would say the team at least deserves a mandatory sit down to discuss your next event so you can experience the hospitality yourself. I would also highly encourage the use of Great Land Events’ Event Planning. Having gone through the process now, I would have nothing but confidence in the team’s ability to pull off any event. My wife and I cannot thank the Great Land Events team enough! More...

We contacted Teresa for our wedding at the last minute for a DJ and day-of coordinator services and it was the best decision we made! Teresa was so incredibly helpful and detailed. She made everything so much easier. From directing the rehearsal to handling last-minute changes the day of, it was so nice to be able to relax and know that she had everything handled. Great Land Events’ DJ services were also impeccable – beyond polished and professional – they made our reception the perfect ending to a perfect day! More...

Teresa was AMAZING as our wedding coordinator. Before the wedding she made me feel supported, listened, and helped answer many questions. She coordinated with all our vendors and created a cohesive day of timeline beforehand. She moved the day along and made sure everything and everyone was on time. Teresa took care of any last minute problems and helped put my mind at ease leading up to our wedding and especially the day of. She was so attentive to details - making sure the groomsmen didn’t have hair or fuzzies on their suits, pinning their boutonnières, bringing me a drink and plate of apps at the reception, and much more. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much for making our day perfect! More...

Great Land Events is hands down the best event service company in the state! They offer amazing food, you can even request special requirements, DJ service, lighting, decor, photo booth, chocolate fountain and event planning. Teresa was my Event Planner for my wedding, I didn’t lift a finger. I never had to follow up with her for anything, she did it all! I literally just showed up to the event on time. It was fantastic to see everything I had envision and more come together. Teresa is full of so much knowledge. I even ran a 10k the day of my wedding. Looking for the best? Look no further you found it! More...

Fantastic experience! We had used Great Lands for catering and bar service and we got so much more. Teresa was full of wedding knowledge to help our wedding be so successful with truly hardly any stress. Their food was so fantastic, everyone was commenting on it. We also had a ton of left overs which has been fantastic to snack on. The bartender was incredible, a true hero for putting up with some of our friends. More...

Great Land makes you feel like family from the moment you step in the door, and I haven’t even had the honor of being their client yet! One of their bride & grooms hired me for photo/video, and Great Land completely supported every step of the creative process. Their organization / coordination were right on point, but above all that, they are extremely hospitable and go above and beyond for each client (and vendors!). I highly recommend them. More...

I just had my wedding in Nikiski, Alaska with Great Land Events and it was incredible! She is so professional but fun at the same time! The wedding was so organized and stress free. Everyone told me the food was awesome and the staff were on top of it consistently. She was always checking on us and filling up our glasses with champagne. I don't know what I would've done without her! Dont look any further! She is the best! More...

I can't thank Teresa and Great Land Events enough for their support and services for our wedding. Not having my mother or family in Alaska made planning extremely stressful until Great Land Events was recommended by a friend. Teresa made the planning process so much easier! She worked through many different menu and timeline changes and made a point to include my mother in the planning, which I was extremely grateful for!The day of our wedding was beautiful thanks to the Great Land Events team! They were kind, organized, and had great attention to detail from start to finish! The music was fresh and fun.. and not to mention, our food was delicious!!!!! Everything ran so smoothly and I had no worries about timeline or little details thanks to Teresa!Great Land Events are the FULL package!!! We couldn't have asked for a better team to help plan, cater, coordinate, DJ and so much more!!! More...

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing Teresa and the rest of the Great Land Events crew is!
After struggling to find a caterer for my wedding in Homer, AK, I stumbled upon Great Land Events on Wedding Wire, and I am SO THANKFUL that I did!
Teresa is an absolute dream to work with! She took up the challenge of driving all the way to Homer and preparing food in a venue her crew had never been to before with complete grace. She went above and beyond all of my expectations, was extremely quick to respond via email with any questions or last minute changes I had, and was very easy to work with.
Let's not forget about the food though! Each dish was delicious, and my guests are still raving about the meals, appetizers, and service. We truly cannot thank Teresa and the staff at Great Land Events enough for such an amazing experience on our wedding day!!

Teresa at An Appetizing Affair/Alaska Chocolate Fountains was so helpful in making everything happen. She responded quickly to my numerous emails and phone calls, updating the invoice many times.
She set up a buffet for dinner with salad and vegetables on the side. I opted for the buffet set-up to save a little money, and that way people can serve themselves exactly what they want, with hopefully less wasted food. I ordered beef and chicken entrees, but I didn't try either because I am vegetarian (the only vegetarian at my own wedding) and ordered food from an outside restaurant for myself. I didn't hear any comments from anyone on the food, but I remember it was all gone very quickly, so I guess I succeeded at not buying too much.
I met her in person for the first time at our walk-through at the venue just days before the wedding. Teresa was very attentive to details and attentive in person on the day of the wedding, asking me if I needed anything ("yes, water please!"), and also helpful dealing with one intoxicated and emotional guest. Teresa also referred me to the bartender we used. It all went well and I appreciate all her work.

I have been to several events (weddings, luncheons, after hour parties) coordinated by GLE and have always been impressed! Food and service is always on POINT. I recently tried a Chocolate Roulade and it was in total heaven in my mouth! If I can figure out how to load photos I will. LOL More...

Great Land Events were wonderful to work with. They always replied right away with any questions I had and worked with me when the dates of my Spring Event on JBER had to be moved. We ordered a chocolate fountain from them and it was the center of attraction! The families loved dipping fresh fruit and marshmallow into the flowing semi-sweet chocolate. We will definitely be contacting them for future events. Thank you for helping me with my successful event! More...

Every experience I've had with this amazing team has been awesome. Their friendly staff and knowledge of the things they do makes working with them magical and a really wonderful event. They're always smiling and will keep the party going and upbeat the whole night or day. They do a wide range of things which makes a sometimes stressful time for the event planner (speaking from experience) a stress free time with one stop shopping. Keep up the great work, can't wait to plan my next event with these guys! More...

An amazing company that's worked its way to the most extravagant events but still maintains its small locally owned heart. I couldn't recommend anyone better on any part of someone's special day. Not only will they work through the tiniest of normally forgotten details but they work harder on your even than if it was their own. The most spectacular service, presentation, and professionalism in town. More...
