I had an incredible experience at The Barn at Villa Venezia for my wedding. Sara was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process and made sure every detail was taken care of leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, the staff went above and beyond, and everything ran so smoothly. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food and service were. I truly couldn’t have been happier with how perfect our wedding day turned out, and so much of that was thanks to The Barn.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our DREAM wedding at Stonebridge Country Club. From the first meeting with Diana to the day after our wedding and every day in between, everything was perfect. Any time I emailed or called, my questions were answered. Everyone was beyond helpful and kind. Stonebridge is a great venue for many reasons. Some of our favorite parts were that it is a one wedding venue, they have a beautiful outdoor or indoor ceremony area, they venue holds a lot of people, the wrap around bar in cocktail hour room stays open all night long, they have beautiful getting ready suites and we knew we would be in great hands. The day of our wedding was perfect. We got ready in the beautifully updated bridal and grooms suites. Dinora was our bridal attendant. She is absolutely AMAZING. Not only did she remember mine and my husbands family members names but she was acknowledging everyone by their names; my bridesmaids, groomsmen & the kids. Whenever I needed something she was there to assist. She is truly phenomenal and made our wedding perfect and seamless. Terrence/T- Money, is another amazing part of getting married at Stonebridge. He was our maître d’ but truly he wears so many hats. He and Dinora worked perfectly together. Terrence was helpful in so many ways. He helped my husband cool down with frozen towels which was perfect. He made sure we both had a drink, glass of water or anything we needed. He ran our ceremony and was there to cheer us on. I can’t imagine him not being a part of our special day. And lastly, Diana was very helpful from the moment we booked until the day after the wedding. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and always willing to help. She always made time for us. She was genuinely excited for our wedding day and she felt like family. My husband and I are so thankful that we got married at Stonebridge. We can’t wait to come back again as guests! Stonebridge will always be a special place for us.

If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!
