If you want to feel taken care of by top tier professionals, this is the wedding venue for you. I work in event logistics and all I wanted was to feel off the clock for my wedding day, after our first meeting with Sarah Gore at Stone House we knew it was the place. I felt like if there was anyone that would make me feel like I did not have to worry about a thing, it was her. Our wedding was at The Lodge on a stunning fall day this past October and even if the weather did not show up for us that day it would be been perfect heavily due to the team at stone house. The food, the professionalism, the attention to every little detail...when people tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to I don't think they are just being nice because of our own experience with this venue being beyond our expectations. Mercedes was running the show for us on the night and she is an absolute dream, kept us all on time with such a great spirit and energy. It was the dreamiest day and no one should second guess booking this place, just do it you won't regret it. Reviewed on 12-01-2024

I cannot say enough about how amazing and accommodating the Stone House has been throughout the entire planning process. Starting off with our memory maker, Michelle: She is the reason why we booked with them! I could tell she was on top of everything, and wanted to make sure the day was going to be perfect! And to no surprise it truly was. The food was fantastic, and a lot of it! The mixologists were great, and we keep hearing from our guests how beautiful and amazing their experience was. I highly recommend the Stone House but more importantly Michelle. She made our experience near perfection. Reviewed on 12-01-2024

Choosing Stone House for our wedding was truly a decision we'll always cherish. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, complemented perfectly by an exceptional staff.

With their expertise, we felt completely at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment.The bartenders were absolutely incredible, and the food offerings were nothing short of spectacular. Our guests have been raving about the stunning setup, and we credit the incredible team at Stone House for making it all possible. We can't recommend them enough—specifically, ask for Nicole and Mercedes; they are truly AMAZING! Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone at Stone House for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. Reviewed on 09-12-2023

SO incredibly happy that we chose Stone House (The Lodge) as our wedding venue - our day was perfect and went so smoothly with the help from every single person on their team! Michelle Ross was our event stylist and she truly made sure that our day was everything we wanted it to be! Every little specific request that we had told her she made sure happened and she was so wonderful and personable to work with. On the day of, our maitre D (Frank Jr) and bridal attendant (Melina) were so attentive and checked in with us and my parents throughout the night for anything we needed. They had a spread of each appetizer food and our signature drinks waiting for us in our bridal suite right after the ceremony, and made sure we got to try a little of everything - even each dessert! Our guests really loved the quality and amount of all of the food/drink options, and the bartenders/wait staff were very kind towards everyone! Reviewed on 01-12-2023

There are not enough words to describe how much I love the Stone House. We got married 11/4/23 in the Ballroom (175 people) and worked with Sarah throughout the process. She was such a calming force throughout the entire planning and wedding day. We booked fairly far in advance, so Sarah kept us organized on all our upcoming deadlines for linens, food choices, partnering with our other vendors, etc. The venue itself is truly stunning. We did such minimal decor because it really speaks for itself. The food is fantastic. We got so many compliments from our guests about the food. The option to add a food truck is so worth it - the end of the night \"drunk\" pizza was a perfect way to cap it. Everything ran smoothly, my partner and I felt so cared for throughout the day. I could not recommend the Stone House enough! Reviewed on 30-11-2023

Our wedding at Stone House in late October was absolutely magical - from the string lights, to the fall foliage, the rustic cocktail hour area and the stunning ballroom - we could not have asked for more. The venue itself was gorgeous and the food was fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience working with Michelle - she was incredibly responsive, kind and truly cared about helping us bring our vision to life. She answered every email and spared no detail - we are SO grateful for all of her help. Frank the Maitre D was also unbelievable - great energy and the night went seamlessly. Having Evelyn as our bridal attendant was also SO helpful, whether it was keeping track of my bouquet or ensuring I had water, it was great to have someone looking out for us throughout the night.

We had the wedding of our dreams and I believe we owe that all to Stone House. We started our planning and of the 8 venues we toured, they were our favorite. They checked all the boxes, beautiful space, and an all-inclusive nature that meant they would be able to help us manage all the details without needing a dedicated wedding planner. The staff are top notch. Sarah Gore helped us plan every detail prior, making sure that we knew the space, the food, the bar, the aesthetic and giving us recommendations for the vendors that they didn’t include. Frank was our maitre d and managed every staff member and took care of every need our day of on site. His energy and presence actually allowed for us to not worry about any detail. The waitstaff, bartenders, and other staff took care of every single guest. The food. The food. The food. There was SO MUCH food and it was so good. Every single guest told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had and it was. The chef made sure that we had the food that we wanted, the way we wanted and that every single guest was taken care of. If you are on the fence, go to the venue, have brunch at the restaurant and you will get a sense of the experience that you will have. TOP notch Reviewed on 31-10-2023

Where do I begin with our incredible wedding day at Stone House at Stirling Ridge, held in April 2023. Our stylist was Sarah and from our very first meeting, she was so amazing to work with and we immediately felt at ease. I felt like I had known Sarah my whole life! She was consistently communicative, friendly, supportive, professional, and helpful in planning our wedding. Sarah was communicative throughout the wedding planning process, and with her help we were able to plan our wedding in just 8 months. She kept us on track with planning and knew just what to say to ease my nerves the days leading up to the wedding. We decided to get married on the ballroom side, knowing it was April and with the chance of rain, the covered outdoor area for the ceremony was perfect. In true April fashion, it rained the entire wedding weekend. As it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised to see how serene and beautiful the outdoor ceremony space was in the rain. The colorful greenery surrounding it, full of love and support from our guests, felt like we were in a tranquil rainforest. We unfortunately did not get many pictures of us around the grounds, but it did not matter. The ballroom has beautiful lighting and is a larger space, with plenty of room for our 150 guests. The chandeliers are stunning and are the highlight of many of our reception photos. We loved the European vibe of the cocktail hour space, with lots of wood and darker colors. The food was beyond excellent. The guests were raving about all of the food, from the cocktail hour to dinner to dessert. The hospitality and customer service, including everyone from Sarah, to our maitre-d’ Frank, were so on top of being supportive and magically made the day go as smoothly as possible. Our guests were beyond impressed and in love with the venue (as were we since the day we toured the venue). Our wedding day was a dream, all thanks to Stone House! Reviewed on 26-07-2023

My daughter was married at the Stone House on the Lodge side on 5/25/23. What a fabulous event! Everything was perfect. The food was amazing and so was the staff. The Stone House team ran the event without a hitch. We didn't have any stress. Nicole was our wonderful planner and she was so helpful throughout the year of planning. Frank was the Matre D and Mercedes was the bridal attendant at the event and they were outstanding. I can't say enough good things about this day. We had the ceremony outside in a beautiful setting.

Nicole made everything about the wedding planning process so easy and was always quick to get back to me about any questions I had and always reached out in advance about scheduling things like our tasting, final details meeting, and reminders of what I needed to do and when. As it got closer to the wedding and I had more and more questions, she continued to be so helpful and offered her expert opinions and guidance and helped field questions from vendors and made the day as seamless as possible. The staff during the wedding was amazing too — Frank the Maitre D was funny and nice and made sure me and my husband had everything we needed all night. Mercedes was our bridal attendant and she was also amazing and made sure we had everything we needed too and didn’t leave my side. The food was amazing everyone was blown away by the cocktail hour and the entrees were just as good. The room looked beautiful and everyone was so happy the entire night.

She was so quick to respond to our emails and problem solve creation solutions. Not to mention, by the end of the process, she felt like a close friend. A few major highlights:*The food: Our guests were still talking about the food for months afterward! It's so delicious and, what's really lovely, is that guests don't have to pre-order their meals.*The staff: Everyone from Sarah to our bridal attendant to maitre'd to bartenders were so kind, energetic and joyful. They really brought magic to our day and made everything go so smoothly. When we had to move our ceremony inside, they turned the space around in record time!*The venue: I can't tell you how gorgeous this venue is. And, how many spaces are there!

Nicole was a dream to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day. She answered every single one of our million questions, let us tour the venue multiple times, and accommodated every request we had without question. We got married in November and were very worried about getting married outside and the cold weather. The Stone House went above and beyond to ease our concerns by purchasing extra heat lamps a few days before, as well as passing hot apple cider to all guests before the ceremony. The wedding day in the Lodge went off without a hitch with a beautiful outdoor ceremony, which moved into a cocktail hour where no-one went hungry with their all star staff.

Kaitlyn Garibaldi(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2022 This venue over promises and under delivers. My husband and I were extremely disappointed with the execution of our wedding day. We did reach out to the Landmark Hospitality management about our issues on our wedding day and after they promised to make things right, the insulted us with compensation way below what we discussed on the phone and then did not reply to our reply messages (I have reached out 3 times after they said they would get back to me). This extremely unprofessional and they clearly don’t care about making us 100% satisfied like they stated over the phone.Our dinner did not come out until 9:15pm after my mother went into the kitchen to tell them to serve the food ASAP. They were missing cocktail hour pass arounds and did not give my husband and I any of the small plates in our bridal suite. The maitre de and bridal attendant were missing after salads were served. They ran out of my husbands signature drink an hour before the reception ended and it was bud light. The bathrooms were dirtier than a frat house.

Turned out there was no fire anywhere on the premises. Same incident happened 2 weeks prior to our party. POC/Upper management stalled communications from day one and were not proactive on this matter at all and were quite rude. We reached out to top management and had to continually follow up to get any updates on this problem and as of today, we still don’t know what exactly happened. Stone House did not show any compassion or regret. To all brides to be get a Fire Inspection report from Stone House or Fire Department so that you will not experience what we went through. No bride/groom, family and guests should remember this kind of memory. Management does not care about you once contract is signed. Maître d did not have an emergency plan or chain of command to reach out to. Once in a lifetime memory was replaced with fire alarms going off and getting kicked out of the reception.

We got married at The Lodge on 10/2/21 and the day was absolutely perfect thanks to Stone House, and especially thanks to Nicole who was the best coordinator we could have ever asked for. After originally booking for October 2020, we postponed our date for 2021. Stone House could not have been more accommodating. We worked closely with Carissa to secure the new date, and she and the venue were completely understanding and gave us no issues rebooking (allowing us plenty of time in advance, which meant we could keep a Saturday date -- completely unheard of at other venues at the time). We are forever grateful to Carissa and the staff for making that process so smooth considering how emotional things were at the time.Fast forward to finally getting to experience our wedding day the following year, it was truly a magical experience. Nicole was so communicative leading up to the big day, and helped us with all of our final questions and little details. She even worked some creative magic and put the time in to create dinner menus that matched our wedding invitations! The entire staff was so attentive the entire day, and as everyone always says about Stone House.. the food was insane. Our guests still talk about it being the best wedding food they've ever had.I could truly go on and on about this venue, but I will end by saying if you are looking for a venue in Northwest NJ you really don't need to look any further.

The entire team is clearly well versed in how to put on a great wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. We can’t wait to come back to Stone House in the future.

Maria Bonello(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2021 When we met with Carissa and she began talking about the weddings and receptions she hosted at Stone House over the years, we started to think this could be the place. While we loved the atmosphere of the Lodge reception hall, we had to choose the Ballroom because of capacity restrictions. However, it did have a lot of positives including a beautiful bar/cocktail hour space, a large patio with two fireplaces and a covered ceremony space which proved to satisfy our fear of any type of rain or weather contingency plan. The Ballroom was also a part of the main restaurant space and another important part in our decision making as we had several dinners there leading up to our wedding. The food and staff were excellent and the space was friendly, inviting and unique, even considering 2020 was an extremely tough year for the industry. As a couple, we had our hands in just about every aspect of the planning process and remained meticulous throughout the entire 18 months leading up to the wedding. While COVID was extremely stressful for everyone and threw a wrench in a lot of plans, we got through it unscathed after many conversations and discussions. It wasn’t easy but we made it work and hats off to Stone House for providing exceptional product and service throughout this tough time. While Stone House is a beautiful venue and serves as a great platform for any couple to get married there, we had a really unique vision that we wanted to bring to life, requiring us to push not just Stone House, but all our vendors, to really get creative and flexible. At times it felt a bit uncomfortable pushing and asking for certain items or requests that seemed reasonable or previously available, but ultimately, Stone House delivered on all fronts - design and layout, food and beverage, service and professionalism. If it wasn’t for that, we would have been very much out of luck! Stone House at Stirling Ridge provides all the right options and experiences for a great wedding experience. We even had our rehearsal dinner at a private space in their restaurant in which their food, beverage and staff were all excellent. As a new married couple, we hope one day we can also experience Stone House as a guest of a wedding and enjoy that perspective. All our family and friends were beyond impressed!

We were in constant communication during the months leading up to the wedding, and she was always super prompt and helpful in responding.

The rest of the Stone House team is truly amazing. We got married in the Lodge and you can't go wrong. S'mores on an open fire for a signature dessert is unlike any wedding I've ever been to.

Carissa, the catering manager, helped us every step of the way as we planned (and then re-planned!) our wedding. She was responsive and creative with lots of ideas from flow of the evening to layout of the ballroom to any vendor recommendations you may need. Stone House is great about letting you visit and tour as many times as you want leading up to the day of and the tasting is amazing to get an idea of what the Ball Room looks like with lots of tables and people and what the service will feel like for your guests. Our guests can't stop talking about the amazing food both at cocktail hour and for dinner (especially the Short Ribs!) and how beautifully presented everything was. Frank was our day of helper and made sure we stayed calm and on schedule. He was right there when anyone had a question and did a great job juggling all our vendors, families, and guests. I wanted a rustic yet elegant vibe for the wedding, and Stone House perfectly fit the bill!

Dayna Maresco(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-07-2021 I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing Stone House is. My husband and I got engaged in 2019 and the second we stepped into the venue we knew it was the place for us. Fortunately for us we did not have to postpone our wedding but due to staff changes during COVID we were passed through a few event coordinators which lead us to working with Nicole- who was an absolute dream!! She answered all of my questions promptly. Even though we didn’t have to postpone I was still concerned that covid would effect our wedding somehow and Nicole eased all of my nerves and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams! When Nicole wasn’t available- Carissa the catering manager would step in and she was just as delightful to work with. My guests are STILL talking about the food almost a month later and we have been to a few weddings since and everyone keeps comparing the food to Stone House (Stone House is the clear winner!) Even after the wedding we have been in constant communication and Stone House has worked to rectify any mishaps that may have happened during the reception.

Linet B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2021 There's so much to say about Stone House! Overall we had a great experience working with the Stone House. My husband and I were looking for a venue that felt modern and a bit different than what we were used to seeing in NJ. We went to Stone House and really loved the look and feel of it—modern/contemporary, a little bit rustic, elegant. They do a good job at blending all those elements. Our coordinator Carissa was soooo sweet and super helpful from the very beginning. Our wedding was originally scheduled for June 2020, but got rescheduled to April 2021 due to the pandemic. [Specifically regarding rescheduling: My personal experience went as smooth as I thought it could have possibly gone. We had to wait a bit to be allowed to reschedule, but it was understandable given the CDC and state-level guidance at the time. We were nervous about the potential outcomes, but made sure to start having transparent conversations with Carissa as early as possible and even put a soft hold on a new date until we were given the green light to reschedule. We are thankful we were able to reschedule smoothly.] Planning the details with Carissa was so easy, you can tell they run a tight ship! They were able to accommodate some special requests we had, which helped make our event feel custom to us. The food was really good! The only constructive feedback on cocktail hour was that some of the guests who were in the downstairs section of cocktail hour (we had our event in the Lodge), didn't get some of the passed hors d'ouvres because the servers kept circulating upstairs (we had similar feedback on the passed desserts at the end of the night). But overall, the feedback we got from guests on the venue, food, and general experience was very positive. The reception food was great, especially the salmon. My husband is lactose intolerant and they were able to whip him up a dairy-free filet minion right away when we flagged it. Mercedes was our Maitre D and she was awesome!! So buttoned up while having the best spirit. It was so fun to work with her. My husband and I were really well taken care of. As I mentioned, we had passed desserts at the end of the night along with our wedding cake, and the chocolate chip cookie was SO good. It's worth mentioning. To summarize, if you're looking for a modern, elegant, delicious, (and organized!) wedding, look no further than Stone House. Reviewed on 01-06-2021

The pandemic has made it so difficult for couples to celebrate their special day and Stone House and the staff made it a breeze.

It was perfect! from the space to the food. We then finally had our larger reception on April 16th. Carissa facilitated this event flawlessly. The food was out of this world!

Maureen Feury(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-03-2021 I needed to write this review for anyone looking for a wonderful place for a private party or wedding. Our daughters wedding was originally scheduled for April 18 ,2020. When the pandemic hit , we were forced to postpone our reception at The Ryland Inn. We have three daughters who are nurses and one who is a state corrections officer so we were living in the thick of this pandemic . We decided to rebook the Ryland for March 26,2021. As the date approached, Shannon and John simply could not go ahead with having a large reception. We postponed again for later in 2021 , but decided to go ahead with ceremony at st Joseph shrine and have a small reception at Stone House. From the minute I spoke to Nicki at the Stonehouse, I knew we were in the right place. Nicki P was absolutely wonderful and kind and understanding of the situation. She helped us pick a special menu for Shannon and Johns wedding celebration and treated us like we were having a 200 person wedding, when we actually only had 25. She helped make their day a beautiful celebration .I will always remember her and the Stonehouse as a bright light in a very difficult time for our family. We are so looking forward to Shannon and Johns wedding celebration at The Ryland Inn ,a sister restaurant also owned by Landmark ,in October. We know if it’s anything like we were treated at the Stone House , It will be a magnificent evening. Reviewed on 02-04-2021

We booked the Grand Ballroom for October 2020 and were very fortunate that we were still able to have our wedding. Let me tell you, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure that everything went as planned. Carissa DeMarco is an absolute gem and gift to the catering/event industry. She is extremely personable , warm, and is attentive to detail. She was more responsive than I thought possible, and would often e-mail me back 5-10 minutes later, even if it were 10pm at night.

He really knows how to take charge of a situation and get a buzzed wedding party to pay attention (it was great!!!!). We also had a family member have an allergic reaction during the reception and he provided them with benadryl and even followed-up with them the next day to see how they were doing.

Danielle Jones(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2020 Horrible venue. I booked my wedding here for 5/16/20 and unfortunately the corona virus ruined it, my husband and I weren't sure what to do since it was already March and we had to make our final decision on whether we were going to keep the wedding. The stone house kept insisting it was ok and not government mandated, though at this point the government and CDC had already banned large weddings and gatherings for the next 90 days. We called to see what our options were and we were told the dates that we had to choose from were either two dates in August or all in the winter. We inquired about cancelling due to forced majeure where if an act of God occurs you can get 85% of your monies back. At this point we were told that if we cancel that it would be us cancelling and we would lose 100% of the monies. Keep in mind we were already paid in full for 150 guests. So we had no choice and signed for August. Come August and we are being pressured in to having the party outside, when an outdoor option wasn't even an option before the pandemic. The contract clearly stated that my husband and I only needed to make a good faith effort once to move the date before we could envoke forced majuere. We fought tooth and nail and the venue held on to our money and laughed at us. Finally we get to 8/8 and the wedding is still not allowed by the government, we finally are eligible for our forced majeure. I contact the venue and they tell me to expect my money within 7 days. I contact them several times since I have not received my refund. As of 8/29 the director of operations and the coo have ignored this issue and are stealing my money. I've sent repeated emails and certified letters and still have not received my money. The venue obviously is going under and doesn't have financial funds required. I would never recommend this venue to anyone even someone I hated. The sad part is my sister got married here several years ago and I was so excited to have my wedding here too. However it's been a horrible experience. The venue knows that I lost my job during covid and that we need the money for day to day survival and yet they don't care. They hold it hostage and ignore my correspondence. The venue charges a 15% admin fee on all events, which they don't deserve cause they can't even email me back.

Alex Scott(groom)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-02-2021 Do not book with the Stonehouse at Stirling Ridge. It is a beautiful venue, run by a callous company and after our experience with them I can’t call them a moral organization.We were very excited in late 2019 when we booked the Stone House at Sterling ridge for our wedding. Our visit went great and in order to stretch our wedding budget we booked our event on Sunday, February, 21 2021. Then 2020 started and COVID 19 hit. At first we were somewhat relieved that our wedding was so far off, but as the scope of the pandemic spread it became more and more likely that this was going to impact our date. My fiance and I have several family members that are high risk and a 100 person event would have been irresponsible without a vaccine or a dramatic drop in the number of cases.We had reviewed the contract thoroughly and when their Force Majeure Clause was applied to Covid 19, Stonehouse would not be obligated to take any action for our wedding unless there was a State Ordered shutdown on Feb, 21 2021. We decided to call them, all we wanted was for them to assuage our fears of having to choose between the safety of our loved ones and our entire wedding budget. The resulting conversation made us cancel our wedding and lose our deposit.As we talked it became apparent how little the Stonehouse was willing to do for us. They kept going on about how they were already moving weddings that were scheduled during the NJ shut down (which was the minimum their own contract required them to do) but would offer nothing since our date was too far out. Finally we asked them directly, if during our wedding Covid 19 continues to pose a significant threat to us and our guests, and the state of New Jersey has not ordered another shut down, will you work with us to reschedule or find a way to keep our guests safe.Their answer was no.We’re not unsympathetic to the Stonehouses situation, their business was probably hurting due to the pandemic but here are just a few of the suggestions we offered to them that they turned down immediately.Paying them the full cost of the venue up front and reschedule our wedding for Feb 21, 2022. A full year later.Adding a clause to our contract that would offer us any amount of protection if the Pandemic was still ongoing.Reworking our contracts cancellation fee schedule to allow us to take more time to see if the pandemic would impact our date.They offered and accepted no solutions and the longer we waited to make a decision the larger our cancellation fee would become.At the end of this trainwreck we told them that we were very disappointed they were so inflexible in helping us keep our wedding safe and our planner had the gall to ask “In what way are we not being flexible?”We cancelled our wedding and they took our deposit and 25% of the contract value. They took almost $8,000 for a wedding a year away that they hadn’t spent an hour of work on. All they ever did for us was reserve a Sunday in the middle of February for a few months. Contractually they were within their rights, morally, they made us choose between our wedding and the health of our loved ones.We have since been in contact with friends whose weddings were also impacted by COVID 19 and their venues worked closely with them to reschedule and make sure their wedding would be safe. I recommend you book with those venues instead and avoid the Stonehouse. Reviewed on 24-07-2020

Shari Halpern(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-11-2019 My daughter was married at The Stonehouse in The Lodge. There are not enough positive words to describe the planning and the wedding. Carissa is an absolute pleasure to work with and I imagine to work for. She has the most amazing team of professional and friendly staff. The first time we sat down with her to plan the wedding, we felt like we were special clients. That feeling never disappeared from that day until the wedding. My daughter and I had endless questions throughout the planning. Carissa always responded in a timely fashion and never made us feel like we were a bother. My guests are still talking about the wedding, the venue and especially the food. My husband and I have frequently eaten at The Stonehouse and have always been impressed. We were not surprised that the catering is equally impressive. From the tasting, to planning the menu, to the actual wedding, the choices were endless and amazing. I can not think of a single thing I would change about the day. It was Perfect!!Landmark Group is a top wedding venue because they know how to do it right the first time and every time!!!

Rachel Halpern(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-11-2019 We got married in late November and could not have asked for a better venue! I grew up going to the Stone House for dinners and knew it was on my list to check out when I first got engaged as I didn't want a traditional ballroom. The Lodge is a stunning, intimate space and the staff and support leading up to our wedding day was fantastic. We worked with Carissa who was quick to respond to all of our questions and help us finalize details. On the day of, there wasn't a single thing I would have changed. The food is absolutely fantastic (guests are still raving about the short ribs entree!) and the service was five stars. Carissa and her team really went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and that my husband and I were taken care of throughout the night. In particular, our bridal attendant stood outside in the cold with us to hold my flowers and coat while we took photos, put one of everything from the cocktail hour into the bridal suite since we couldn't make our way around the room, and kept refilling our drinks and reminding us to eat. We can't wait to go back for dinner in the future! Reviewed on 30-12-2019

Carissa was extremely organized and kept us at ease throughout the process. So many of the details are taken care of and included which took a lot of stress off of us. The food! Cocktail hour, salads, intermezzo (a crowd pleaser), entrees, desserts, smores station. Every bite was delicious! We’ve been told over and over by so many guests that ours was the best wedding they’d ever been to. The Stone House is more than a venue, it’s a vibe! Reviewed on 19-12-2019

Ashley Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-11-2019 We could not have asked for more when it came to Stone House. First off, regardless of how the rest of your day goes, this place is worth it just for the food. One thing I don't like about weddings is how the food is almost always the same. Not at Stone House! We had 5 stations at our cocktail hour that were UNBELIEVABLE, and the dinner itself was fresh and unique. How many weddings do you go to where you can order braised short ribs for your meal?! We had Bonnie for our coordinator, and she was extremely helpful. We really felt like we could rely on her when it came down to it, which we were incredibly thankful for. We honestly felt that especially for the price that we paid, we received everything we could have hoped for for our wedding.

She was so responsive to all of my questions throughout wedding planning and gave some great advice. We got married in the lodge and it was the perfect setting because I didn’t want the typical ballroom feel. We also had the ceremony outside and it was perfect.

And that is not just how you feel on the actual wedding day - from the moment we met with them a year in advance, and every step of the way, the Stone House made us feel unique and special - you’re not just another wedding for them. We always felt like part of the family – they were all celebrating along with us. Our planner, Deirdre, is owed so much of the credit. She answered who knows how many questions from us, met with us frequently, guided us, calmed us down, set everything up perfectly - we can’t praise her enough for her care and support. And the entire staff on our wedding day was amazing. We wish we could have personally thanked each and every staff member for all they did for us to help us feel so unhindered and happy throughout the entire day. Everything went off without a hitch and it was an absolute blast. We didn’t have to think of a single detail the day of our wedding, which is exactly how it should be! Also, did we mention the food? Everyone still raves not only about the beautiful ambiance of the Lodge, but about the amazing, abundant food! We cannot thank the Stone House, Deirdre, and all the staff enough.

Also the amount of food choices for cocktail hour, dinner and dessert is overwhelming and all so delicious; our guests keep talking about it! Working with Bonnie was super smooth. She is very professional, personable and you can trust her. The whole team there seems competent and happy to be helping you on your wedding day. Stone House separates two weddings and restaurant operations throughout the night flawlessly.

Bonnie was fantastic and went above and beyond throughout the planning process. She listened to what we wanted and was able to make our vision become a reality. We met Frank a few times over the course of our planning and we knew he was amazing, but our wedding day couldn't have gone more perfectly and we have to thank Frank for that! Frank's attention to detail and genuine concern for us and our guests meant the world to us. Stephanie was also an integral part of our day. As our bridal attendant, she helped with everything from bustling, to food and drink, and even helping with a \"catastrophic\" spill on my wedding dress! Stephanie made a point to ensure that my husband and I had time to freshen up and eat something before our party. We sat up in the bridal loft with a buffet of appetizers, drinks, and water, looking down at our guests mingling at the cocktail hour below. Looking back, it was one of our favorite moments of the night--we had a few minutes of quiet time together to (try to) soak it all in, we were fed, and after 15 minutes or so, we were ready to party! The staff at the Stonehouse took so much care in every detail and found a perfect balance between honoring our requests and offering suggestions as needed. During an inevitably stressful process, we never doubted our team at the Stonehouse. Even more so, we are so excited to be able to return to the restaurant area for celebrations to come, and in an effort to relive the best day ever!Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, to the entire staff!

I can't even begin to express how special and unique the entire evening turned out to be. From the top quality food and beverages to stunning grounds boasting beautiful florals and plants, our families and other guests are STILL raving about the wedding one month later.

You can see this through her attention to detail/planning process, being present on the ACTUAL wedding day, and her quick /open communication.

Carissa was so kind and genuine, which again, is hard to come by in this industry.

I had doubts of whether or not we'd be able to handle planning a wedding without a wedding planner, but Bonnie and the Stone House made this part of the process so easy and we didn't have to worry about a thing. They really make you feel like you belong. The Stone House itself has amazing food which all of our guests spoke highly about. The Lodge is beautiful and just what we were looking for - a modern/rustic feel and not a big ballroom type which could be a bit intimidating. Our goal was to make sure everyone enjoyed the food, music, and ambiance. The outside bar at Stone House is also awesome and a great go to spot on a summer afternoon/evening.

The food was incredible, the alcohol was flowing - a few broken glasses on the dancefloor were cleaned up literally within 2 minutes. The professionalism is truly unmatched and our guests are still raving about the food. Lastly, the bridal attendant was the secret weapon I didn't even know I needed.
