I don’t even know where to begin! Our wedding weekend was the most magical experience, and everything I could of hoped for. It would not have been possible without this beautiful venue and the amazing people behind it . We were able to spend th...
ree days in a gorgeous environment celebrating love, laughing, and having the best time. From the moment we stepped on the ranch I felt at peace!! There are so many unique options and ways to set the stage for your wedding, I had so much fun choosing how to utilize this incredible space. With a huge yard off the side of the deck our wedding night was accompanied by everyone enjoying our yard games, music, and petting horses in the pasture. What more could you ask for ?!?!! Our rehearsal dinner was a feast of tacos with our family and friends underneath the pole barn basking in the golden light from the sun with a fire and s’mores to follow . I don’t know how you could ever top being at a place like this and it was so hard to leave. Thank you AK Diamond J ranch for making my wedding dreams come true and for being such amazing gracious hosts!!!

From the first time I drove on to the ranch I knew that this was the perfect place to get married. It was the first and only venue I looked at. After telling my husband about it (he was out of town working so he didn't get a chance to see it u...
ntil the day of.) he said I trust your judgement, it sounds magical! I just knew that it was where I wanted to marry the man of my dreams. It checked every single thing on my list! Mountain Views, Glacier Views, Ocean Views, located on the side of a mountain surrounded by gorgeous Alaskan trees and the most lovely structures. Not to mention the lovely peony fields and meadows of fireweed! The house has plenty of room for everyone to get ready and the bridal suite was perfect! They truly thought of everything, cute decor for accents in pictures, full length mirrors and adorable dressing area, huge bathroom/makeup studio. And I can't forget about the huge upper deck to take in the sunset/sunrise. The barn is rustic yet modern with a huge deck that can be utilized for many things. The pavilion is absolutely stunning with the perfect backdrop for your reception. Aside from all of the beauty I was surrounded by, I knew it was the right place because of the the owners, Stephanie and Billy. They are the most down to earth, hard working, kind people we've had the pleasure of meeting and developing a friendship with. They were ready to help with anything we needed! From practicing the night before, to the day of it was like they were just part of the family eager to make sure we had the best day ever. I am truly grateful for all of their help! Ak Diamond J Ranch was our fairytale dream wedding location become reality!

The Jones have such a beautiful venue & my special day was one everyone still talks about at family functions. We had the best weekend! I have recommended this venue to anyone I know getting married in Alaska. Even people out of state.

We loved AK Diamond J Ranch. From the very beginning they were super responsive to our needs and let us come out a couple times to check the place out before the wedding! The site was gorgeous and we even were able to get a lot of our flowers f...
rom their peony farm! They were always super professional and the site was so gorgeous we had to do minimal decorations. Definitely felt like it was the perfect option for us in Homer because of the view, size, and Alaskan feel. We had 200 people and they were super accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place as a first choice in Homer!

Venue of our dreams! Very romantic, unique and the family owned atmosphere was great! Our wedding flowed smoothly and truly was the best day of our lives thanks to AK Diamond J Ranch

I highly recommend AK Diamond J Ranch for a celebration in any season. (our October wedding was sublime) From the first visit & walkthrough to the moment we waved goodbye at the reception, the folks at AK Diamond J Ranch were 10 steps ahead of ...
our every wedding dream. The attention to detail in the bridal suite made getting ready fun and festive, whether you were downstairs primping or upstairs enjoying the killer mountain views. The barn itself is gorgeous and rustic, but wired with party lights and discrete speakers to facilitate a serious reception dance party. Having Bill and Stephanie so close to the venue was an added bonus. They were so approachable and fun to be around, as well as full of creative ideas for personalizing our big day! I will be singing their praises for years to come. Great location, great people, great choice!

Married for 20+ years, and we are loving it. Along with our 5 children we own and operate our venue on the land where I grew up. Our wedding reception was on this family ranch in my parents barn, and the first wedding that I remember attending as a kid was in my grandparents barn just down the road. Barns and weddings make for some of the best memories. We want to make it possible for other couples to experience what we have been blessed with. Family owned and operated our ranch is a perfect setting to create timeless memories for you and your guest
