Stone Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was responsive and extremely detailed, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The location is absolutely beautiful, with a well-designed layout that allowed for a seamless flow of the day's events. The team at Stone Garden went above and beyond, adding so many small, thoughtful touches like yard games, twinkling lights, and gorgeous floral arrangements that truly made our day feel special. Kristen, the wedding planner, thought of every last detail and worked tirelessly to make sure anything we wanted was brought to life. And the bar team, led by Frank, created amazing signature cocktails that were waiting for us at the end of the aisle - such a nice surprise! The whole Stone Garden team worked together flawlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and experience.

The guests still rave about how beautiful the property was and how much fun they all had dancing the night away. You cannot beat fall in New England. If you want an unforgettable, romantic, unique wedding Stonehouse is for you!
