Stoney Creek Castle is an absolutely charming and breathtaking venue. The owners are so helpful and considerate. The setting is gorgeous with the creek in the back, and the whole setup is extremely unique. The venue provides a photobooth and a telephone to leave voice messages for the couple (all you need is to provide the SD card). My husband and I loved listening to the voice messages afterward. Additionally, the bathroom has more than enough room to accommodate a massive wedding gown, which is great. Could not be happier with the venue or the owners. They are so sweet and wholesome and provided fantastic service, before, during, and after our wedding.

Our wedding was back in July 2024, but we are still amazed by how incredibly magical and beautiful our wedding day (and weekend!) was. From the moment we met Melanie and took the venue tour, our hearts were set on hosting our wedding at Stonewall Estate. The property had everything we were looking for (bonus points for the Estate House) and the mountain setting was the exact vibe we were looking for. Melanie, and the entire team at Stonewall Estate, were an absolute pleasure to work with. Melanie’s attention to detail, excellent communication and willingness to be flexible and dream with us made the planning side so much easier, and that carried over to the wedding weekend itself where we felt so very well taken care of so that we could take a step back and enjoy the celebrations completely with our family and friends.

TLW was the absolute best venue for our wedding. They let us bring a bouncy house obstacle course onto the property, and even had a vendor recommendation. Throughout our literal hundreds of emails back-and-forth, they were professional, friendly, and prompt in their reply. Our guests had so much fun, and TLW did a fantastic job accommodating our guests' various dietary restrictions. TLW also did a great job communicating with our other vendors. It was a dream to work with TLW - the food was delicious, all of their staff were friendly and welcoming, and the venue itself cannot be beat. The kids (and adults) had a wonderful time enjoying the goats on site, the swimming pool, and the go-karts! The go-karts are an absolute must-have add-on to any wedding, it is all anyone could talk about afterwards. It was so much fun! I also caught my first fish during my wedding weekend, and had an absolute blast! Thank you so much Justin for being such a great communicator and venue partner!

From the moment we first contacted them, Alisha and the team provided clear, quick, respectful and knowledgeable communication that made the planning process super easy. The venue itself is beautifully lit, open, easily accessible, and spotlessly clean - it was the ideal backdrop for our special day. When we had some last-minute complications with our caterer, Alisha handled the situation very professionally and eased my nerves, ensuring everything went off without a hitch.
