If you’re looking for a location for your big day that looks like something right out of a movie, Diamond Cross Ranch wedding venue is your place. Bordered by the Grand Teton National Park and Bridger-Teton National Forest, Diamond Cross boasts unrivaled, unobstructed views of the snow-capped Grand Teton Mountains. Diamond Cross Ranch is one of Jackson Hole’s last historic, family-owned ranches and includes utmost privacy and natural beauty everywhere you look. I’m so happy I had the chance to talk with Lauren of Diamond Cross Ranch and have some questions answered about their beautiful venue! I hope this is helpful for you as you’re venue shopping. My availability for this year is super limited, and I’d love nothing more than to be your Diamond Cross Ranch wedding or elopement photographer, so fill out this form and let’s chat about any questions that you have 🙂
