We are a family owned and operated ranch on 25 acres of land near Homer Alaska. Our family were homesteaders that settled here in the early 50’s and carved out a living in the wilds of Alaska. We have incorporated as much of our heritage as we can into our venue to create an authentic Alaskan experience for you, your family and your guests. We are a “Barn” venue but we are so much more than that with layers of experiences to discover and enjoy. An Alaskan homestead vibe with a noticeable touch of southern hospitality. We will work with you and your vendors during your planning phase to create your unique day. We are always on site to make sure things go smoothly and that every thing goes as planned. We have everything you need on site to create an amazing event, but love to work with you and your vendors of choice to add your personal touches that really make your wedding unique and unforgettable.

As a wedding planner in Alaska who was born and raised in Homer, I’ve had the privilege of working with many local venues, but AK Diamond J Ranch truly stands out. Located in the heart of Homer, this family-run venue offers not only stunning views of the mountains, water, and glaciers but also an experience that is both intimate and unforgettable. What sets AK Diamond J Ranch apart is the dedication and care the owners put into every detail. I’ve known the Jones family for years, and it’s clear that their hands-on approach makes all the difference. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that every wedding is a seamless, stress-free event, and their love for what they do shines through. The venue is fully equipped with everything couples could need for their big day—from tables and chairs to elegant tableware. The pavilion is perfect for dinner with breathtaking views, and the barn is ideal for cocktail hour and dancing, providing a cozy yet spacious atmosphere. Whether you're planning a small, intimate celebration or a larger wedding, AK Diamond J Ranch offers the versatility and charm that make it one of the best wedding venues in the area. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with top-notch amenities and exceptional service, look no further. I highly recommend it to any couple looking for a truly unforgettable Alaskan wedding experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married in August at Wilmington Wedding Venue. The venue was so gorgeous. The tent that they have onsite was a gamechanger for us. It was beautifully lit and allowed our guests to stay warm throughout the evening. The owners of the property are THE BEST people to work with. They helped alleviate so much stress leading up to, and on, our big day. I couldn't recommend this venue enough. The wedding wouldn't have been as special if it wasn't for Wilmington. On top of all of this, they are also very affordable!!

Gloryview Farm is a beautiful outside venue with a grassy lawn in front of the rustic barn that is surrounded by lots of trees and greenery. The expansive lawn area is also a great spot for lawn games to entertain your guests before and during your event. We have a beautiful log pavilion that you and your guests can enjoy dinner. Your guests will be seated in our casual and cute mismatched wood chairs at our rustic harvest style tables. Following dinner and toasts, you and your guests can then transition into our very own, one of a kind, Alaska Colony Style barn! Bar service, cake cutting and dancing are usually the highlights inside the barn but you get to decide just how you’d like to use our very flexible space yourself. There is a private cabin for the bride and her wedding party inside the lovely little brides cottage that we offer for you to get ready in. The groomsmen also have a nice little cabin to dress and lounge in before the ceremony. Established in 2013.

I've been trying to come up with the best review of this beautiful venue that fully encompasses all that it has to offer. The first time I stepped on to what is now the woodland trail with River the owner, she was explaining all of her aspirations, I was sold. Even if I was surrounded by dirt & fallen trees. I knew with the hard work, determination, & talent that she & Forrest have, this would become a stunning place. That was 2019. Boy did they knock it out of the park. They have created a wedding wonderland. The pavillion is perfect for cover. Whether you use it for your seating, dancing, or both. Its large wood columns & beams give you the true Alaskan feel. As you're standing inside you can't help but be mesmerized by the mountains surrounding you or the vastness of the fields. River has also done a fantastic job in her selection of tables & chairs. The tables are large 6ft rounds that allow you to seat 8 people comfortably, & the chairs are not only beautiful but comfortable. I had multiple guest state that they were very comfortable. When it got cold in the evening, River got out the heaters for us all to warm around, she is always trying to make every experience the best it can & goes out of her way to make it happen. The bathrooms are clean, large enough for even the big ballgowns, & she even took the time to make plaques telling you about the vegetation around you that can harm you if you come in contact. I've been to many venues, I don't know a single one that has been this thorough, in not only creating the full experience of a great event, but also the care for the people who choose her venue. It truly was a dream getting married there. I can't wait to watch the venue continue to grow & become all that she has envisioned. I can't recommend this venue enough.
