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 an out of state couple we wanted a venue that captured the beauty of Alaska - AK Diamond J Ranch exceeded our expectations with the immediate view of glaciers, mountains, and the ocean. Stephanie and her family went above and beyond to ensure all our questions were answered and that we felt confident as we planned remotely for our big day. She was incredibly hands on throughout the planning process and day of - personally driving us to our first-look location and assisting the vendors to ensure a smooth day. Her children were incredibly professional and engaging when handling the horses who were featured in our photos and also available for the guests to interact with. The venue itself provided a large and clean bridal suite for us to get ready in, a large kitchen for our caterer to prep in, and was ready and prepared for all vendors we brought in. I couldn't recommend AK Diamond J Ranch enough for any brides looking to get married in Alaska - it's the perfect foundation to build such a memorable day.

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.
