Perfection

Booking at AK Diamond J was the best decision we made for our wedding. Billy and Stephanie are the most amazing people as well are their children. The venue is breathtaking and that would have been enough for us. But Billy and Stephanie came down and started helping us bring our vision to life and helped set up all day long. They had incredible insight as to how things would/should flow. They were so attentive, responsive and just overall amazing people. We had the BEST day ever thanks to them. It’s hard to plan a destination wedding, but they made it so smooth and we’re available to answer any questions we had along the way no matter how small they were. Their hospitality is unmatched. They have a giant shed of decor that was perfect and you really don’t need much of your own. Which is perfect for a destination wedding. Everyone seems to donate to Billy and Stephanie which I think is awesome. Pay it forward. I would come back every year and celebrate our anniversary if we could. Thank you guys for the incredible experience! And thank you to your children for being so helpful and kind as well!

Experience the beauty of Alaska on your wedding day

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.

Breathtaking Venue & Incredible Experience

I grew up on a ranch in Montana, my husband grew up on an island in Alaska so when we were searching for a venue for our wedding we wanted a spot that would be the perfect fusion of both. AK Diamond J was the EXACT place we were searching for! From the time I set eyes on AK Diamond J I KNEW it was where we would get married. Billy & Stephanie (the owners) were incredibly responsive and easy to work with through the entire process over the year and half of planning our wedding. We had to change our date once and they were very understanding, we added on an extra night of the guest house, we brought in our own craft cocktails, and any other small or big ask we had, they never acted as it was an imposition. They are definitely service-oriented people as are their children! We had such an amazing time planning the wedding with them and having them be a part of our day. The venue is also the most gorgeous spot in Alaska. The expansive area for all the photos, the beautiful glaciers in the background, the close proximity of all the buildings made it perfect for getting ready, photos, the ceremony, and for our caterer to provide cocktail hour food, dinner, and dessert! Will recommend this spot to anyone else who ever asks for a recommendation!
