Ak Diamond J Ranch - Homer, Alaska

Shannon Reagan

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 am beyond words to describe my experience with Stephanie and her family at this incredible venue. I got married here about three weeks ago, and to say that planning a wedding is easy would be an understatement. This place is amazing, not just for its gorgeous views but for everything Stephanie provides to make your day as smooth and stress-free as possible!

Stephanie has a calming presence that truly helps to ease the stress of wedding planning. Her attentiveness to our needs was exceptional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. From providing plates, cutlery, and hand soap to many other small details, she has got you covered so you can focus on enjoying your day. The inventory options were extensive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The house where we got ready was charming and comfortable, adding a special touch to our preparations.

A highlight of our reception was the live music played by Stephanie’s son, Silas, in the barn. His performance added a unique and personal touch to our celebration that we and our guests will never forget.

Stephanie's assistance coordinating with our caterer and photographer was invaluable, taking a significant load off our shoulders. A few pictures simply don't do this beautiful venue and the wonderful family behind it justice. If you're looking for a venue that offers more than just a pretty location, this is the place. I can’t thank Stephanie and her family enough for a wonderful experience. I couldn't have asked for a better day!

Wow. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful home. Beautiful barn. Everything was so perfect for our wedding day. Stephanie and her family really made our day perfect for us. They were all attentive and caring. There for us but also letting us have space and room at the same time. We had everything we needed and I cannot say enough good about them❤️

AK Diamond J Ranch was the venue of our dreams and Stephanie was the most amazing vendor we could have ever asked for. AK Diamond J Ranch is a stunningly beautiful property. It is exactly as the photos show it and when you actually see it in person it is somehow even better. You get unmatched views of mountains and glaciers and you can have their amazingly well behaved horses in your wedding photos as well. Stephanie’s daughters are also so sweet and kind and entertained our guests by telling them all about the horses. Stephanie is also an incredibly involved vendor. She helped show us around her property and accompanied us on our wedding photos to help wrangle the horses. She is such a kind, involved, and responsive vendor. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. If you are getting married in Homer, Alaska you have to get married at AK Diamond J Ranch. We would recommend them to all of our friends and family.

AK Diamond J Ranch is the most INCREDIBLE venue! Billy and Stephanie are the easiest, most wonderful people to work with!! We stayed in the home for a few nights, which accommodated everything we could think of---bridal suite, plenty of getting ready space, huge kitchen, and more----and of course, we made SO many amazing memories onsite for our wedding weekend.

We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner/bonfire and the next day was absolute perfection: our outdoor ceremony, dinner under the pole barn, and dancing at the main barn. Our guests were over the moon, having come from all over the world to this GORGEOUS place!!

My husband grew up only a few miles from the venue, so it paid homage to his landscape and the community he grew up in, while combining my family's Californian coastal upbringing---ie. beach life and our love of fresh fish tacos :)---along with other family and friends who felt a whole new connection to us and to natural glacial magnificence. *jaw-dropping!* It was absolutely the best day of my life, and the Jones family made it seamless and unforgettable. This is the BEST venue in Homer and beyond!

Billy Stephanie and their children are phenomenal! We had the best experience getting married at AK Diamond J Ranch. The venue is so stunning that it would be an amazing day even if Billy and Stephanie didn't show up. But as soon as we arrived to set up they came down and helped ALL DAY setting up for our wedding. They even had their daughter get one of the ponies because the younger kids in the wedding party wanted to ride a horse. She helped put them on the pony and walked them around. The kids had the BEST time. This family is are the absolute sweetest people in the world and I wish we could do it all over again. The experience was incredible. They were so generous with their time, they were incredibly knowledgeable, and had a massive collection of great stuff for us to use for decor. Words cannot describe the incredible experience we had with Billy and Stephanie at AK Diamond J Ranch. I am so happy we chose them to get married.
