We couldn't be happier with our experience at the Stone House! They worked with us and our budget and were very generous in finding creative ways to bring cost down while maintaining our vision. The food was over the top - better than imagined for cooking for such a large size party. Such colorful, nutrient dense and seasonal dishes! So many of our guests commented on the quality. The space is just gorgeous - perfect backdrop for photos. Also, the owner Jonathan Rowe did an epic job DJing for us. Highly recommend. We look forward to many date nights returning to the Stone House to reminisce and would love to have an anniversary party in their cave someday.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we first connected with the team, we felt supported, valued, and confident that we were in great hands. Every staff member we worked with was kind, knowledgeable, and committed to helping create a day that was uniquely ours. A feature we absolutely loved was the Borrow Barn. Having access to such a wide selection of décor made the planning process so much easier and allowed us to create the look we wanted without the expense and hassle of purchasing everything ourselves. It was an amazing resource and added so much charm to our wedding day. The venue itself is simply beautiful. The natural surroundings provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and photos, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the property was. Everywhere you looked, there was another perfect view. What truly sets this venue apart, though, is the combination of its beauty and the incredible people behind it. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We will always be thankful for the role they played in making our wedding day so memorable, and we highly recommend this venue to any couple searching for a breathtaking location and an outstanding team.
