You cannot go wrong with this venue. First of all, the venue itself is breathtaking. I’m not kidding when I say some of our photos look photoshopped, the backdrops from every angle are truly that gorgeous. I think it is impossible to get a bad photo at this venue. But the main reason that we loved this venue is the owners- Diane and her husband Tom. From the first time we visited, it felt like Diane was on our team. She truly went above and beyond to make our day special. From little things like making sure she had our timeline should something happen with our coordinator, to lending items, suggesting things based on past weddings, adding lights to the lawn so we could use our games at night, and even helping solve personal problems that arose. I warned every vendor that my mom would spend the whole night running around and trying to do everything that needed doing, but after our wedding she told me that she loved Diane and needed to leave her a review herself because she could truly sit down and relax. That’s how on top of everything Diane is. She truly paid attention to every single detail and took responsibility of so many things that went above and beyond. If you’re considering Stoneyman Valley Ranch, just do it! You will not regret it. Reviewed on 22-07-2023

Just recently had our wedding here. This is such a gorgeous venue and Diane is such a pleasure to work with. She is super responsive and willing to help with anything she can. We fell in love with the beautiful mountain views and rustic upscale barn, but working with such wonderful and kind owners was a true bonus. It has everything you need and Diane offers so much more than other venues, you really get more bang for your buck here. I can't recommend Stoneyman enough, it will always have such a special place in my heart. Reviewed on 02-07-2023

I could not have more wonderful things to say about Diane and Stoneyman Valley Ranch! They made our dreams come true. They are the kindest people you will ever meet and helped us so much before and during the wedding. The venue is stunning!!!! I wish we could have our wedding all over again just to be at this venue. I share the name of our venue with everyone and hope that more couples get to have as great of an experience as us. I can’t thank them enough for their guidance and help as we planned our wedding!

Jeremy Murray(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 As a local wedding videographer in the area, I travel to many different venues and see a lot of wonderful places. Stoneyman Valley Ranch is BREATHTAKING! I could not take my eyes off the backdrop for the wedding ceremony. The country setting included rolling hills, a great looking barn, and the spectacular mountains of the Shenandoah National Park. Of course, the weather and lighting were PERFECT as well. Even though I was working, I truly enjoyed my time here. In fact, EVERYONE had a great time here. Diane and Tom Hirsch owners of this venue are SUPER FRIENDLY and PROFESSIONAL.They went out of their way to make the wedding day enjoyable, stress free, and PERFECT for the couple! In fact, Tom drove us to the top of the hill to film and photograph sunset footage with the bride and groom. He pulled out his phone and played the couples favorite song while they slow danced in the field! It was one great moment of many! I could go on, but hopefully you get my point by now. You will have AMAZING views, DELICIOUS food, and IMPECCABLE service! Stoneyman Valley Ranch will NOT disappoint! I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to film there! Oh....and just to tease you with the beauty of the location, I have attached a screenshot from my aerial DRONE footage! See...I told you!!! Reviewed on 20-09-2021
RITA FIELD(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2020 Spectacular Venue My daughter got married during the Covid-19 pandemic August 15, 2020 and Diane did everything right. She provided hand sanitizer and made sure we had everything we needed to keep everyone safe. I highly recommend this venue because we were allowed to make all the decisions for making the perfect wedding for my daughter and son in law, use the dance floor, have a cookie table, etc...It was very affordable with no hidden fees, very spacious and so beautiful. The rain prevented us from having the ceremony outside, but Diane and her crew quickly made the switch at the last minute and pulled it off in 15 minutes. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, always responded quickly by phone and email, had a spread sheet with all the information that we needed, gave us great suggestions, it was like having a personal wedding planner. She made sure everything went smoothly. She also has some decorations and drink dispensers which we used at no extra cost. They provided all the tables and very nice chairs, dance floor, bar, linens, plates, silverware, fire pit, changing area for bride and groom, clean bathrooms, and beautiful scenery for photos.

Kelly Haslbeck(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 Stoneyman Valley Ranch was the perfect venue for my wedding. The landscape is gorgeous; there are great views of the Shenandoah all around the property! The sunset photos we were able to take from the lookout were beautiful. Diane and Tom were amazing - we took a leap of faith in booking the venue before construction had finished but they exceeded every expectation we had. They were very responsive to any questions or concerns we shared in the lead up to the wedding and they were always within earshot on the day to help where needed. The barn is absolutely beautiful inside. The barn doors made the perfect backdrop for our rainy ceremony! The guests were blown away by how amazing the venue looked. We opted to have our guests stay in Harrisonburg (go Dukes!) but it was a fairly short and very scenic drive to the venue.I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Luray / Harrisonburg area!

Tom and I have lived in Virginia for almost 30 years raising our three children. As empty nesters, we decided it was time to leave the corporate world and get back to nature so we decided to raise cattle. Tom was raised in the country and Diane has loved the Shenandoah Valley since she was a young girl. When our daughter-in-law wanted to get married on our property, we realized that we had the perfect location for weddings. Now we share this piece of the Shenandoah Valley with happy couples that want to start their journey together in this beautiful location.
