Our Family
After 20 years of traveling and serving in the military, our family decided to come back home to our family ranch and roots, where the Ozark landscape meets the wildlife. As we settled in our new home of Southern Missouri, so did our passion to serve and connect with others, and that is how our vision of our wedding venue began. We wanted to help others begin their everlasting story by sharing the beauty and tranquility of our breathtaking ranch.
Our Ranch
During the 1900s our ranch was owned and operated by a lumber company which soon led to railroad trams being built and used to help the community with shipment of goods. As of today, there are still three trams that run through the beautiful 800 acres of the property, one of which is the road leading to the Diamond 3 Wedding Venue.
The property was later purchased by the Whitener family (my grandfather) in the late 60s. My grandfather and his family began their journey as sharecroppers in the Bootheel. Through decades of perseverance, hard work, and focus, his “share” grew into amassing his large section of farmland. In his later years, he would often take time off for hunting excursions in the lush Ozark foothills and one day decided to carve out a little piece of the Ozarks for him and his grandmother to leave the farming behind to raise a few cattle and enjoy their next phase of life nurturing the property into their dream.
As a third-generation rancher on this property, I now understand the dream my grandfather started. The cool, calming breeze as it whispers through the pines; the frolicking newborn calf as it dances through the meadow taking life for all it has to offer; the bubbling brooks and the evening whippoorwills; all drawing you in the healing seclusion and calming peace of the Diamond 3.
