Our wedding at Solstice Creek Ranch marked the beginning of something truly special—not only for our venue, but also for our life together. Today, we are blessed with a beautiful marriage and four wonderful children: Ellinore, Chase, Harlee, and Kittredge. Our family is at the heart of everything we do.
We first met while serving in the Air Force, and from our very first date, we connected over our shared love of the great Alaskan outdoors. Flying, snowboarding, hunting, four-wheeling, farm animals, bringing people together, good food, and real estate investing are just a few of the things we now enjoy as a family. Our children especially love seeing the beautiful princesses and handsome princes get married at “their barn”—sometimes even arriving in a horse-drawn carriage!
After 12 years of active-duty service, Chase separated from the Air Force. Dominique served for nine years in the Alaska Air National Guard before pursuing her passion for real estate and becoming a licensed REALTOR® with Park Realty Alaska at Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group.
Dominique’s very first listing was a rustic barn built in 1977—and it immediately captured Chase’s heart. Together, we worked tirelessly to transform the property from an old, beautiful barn surrounded by overgrown trees and weeds into the place we envisioned for our own wedding day.
We cleared the land, leveled the dirt, removed rocks, planted grass seed, and hand-rolled sod to create the beautiful ceremony lawn leading to the pond. Inside the barn, we swept away years of dust and cobwebs, built stairs into the loft, and poured our own blood, sweat, and tears into every detail.
What began as a place for us to say “I do” became Solstice Creek Ranch—a place where other couples can begin their own beautiful stories.
With the help of our family and friends, our wedding was everything we had dreamed it would be. Rustic décor and the beautifully transformed barn created a warm, magical setting for the beginning of our life together. The experience was so meaningful that we decided to share this special place with others. Soon afterward, the barn officially became Solstice Creek Ranch—a charming Alaska wedding venue where other couples could gather with the people they love and begin their own stories.
With more than two decades of combined military service, we bring a unique combination of experience, education, and dedication to Solstice Creek Ranch. Chase’s strong work ethic, leadership, and event-coordination experience, together with his associate degree, complement Dominique’s bachelor’s degree in finance with an emphasis in real estate and property management and a minor in German.
After separating from the military, Chase opened Solstice Creek Ranch to the public. Today, Dominique helps him manage the venue while continuing her career as a full-time licensed REALTOR® in Alaska.
We are honored to share our beloved venue with you and hope Solstice Creek Ranch will hold a special place in your hearts, just as it always has in ours.
