We found Living Stone in our own backyard and were immediately swept away by the natural beauty of the landscape and the incredible work Heather and Django have put into making the space what it is. Words truly can not describe what they have created, from the boulders along the moss path to the hand-built mortise and tenon pavilion to the waterfall that seems to be the heartbeat of the living stone, you simply have to experience it to understand what it is. Beyond the natural beauty, Heather and Django shared with us and our families the warmest hospitality and most delicious food. We met and discussed some of our ideas, and quickly Heather had curated a menu that not only reflected who we are but would still be approachable to all of our guests. The food was locally sourced, fresh, and absolutely incredible. It is clear that Heather, Django, and their staff are passionate about what they create and serve to the people who have the privilege of experiencing everything Living Stone has to offer.

The day of our wedding it rained for the entirety of the day, while we had to pivot our plans a little bit, Heather had a rain contingency plan that was executed flawlessly by her and their staff, and our day was ultimately perfect. The rain charged the creek, and the waterfall roared, and we danced the night away. We simply could not have found a place more beautiful or run by people more talented and incredible. We have and will continue to recommend Living Stone for anything one could need an event space for. The grounds are expansive and beautiful and would be well suited for any gathering of people who want to celebrate love in a truly spectacular place. We are so grateful to be a part of the Living Stone family. Thank you again to Heather Django, and the entire Living Stone team for making our wildest dreams for our special day a reality.

We can't express enough love and enthusiasm for Heather, Django and the entire Living Stone experience. Let's start with the aesthetics: The ethereal woodland ceremony spaces, dramatic waterfall patios and meticulously crafted pavilion are both fantastical and highly functional. A lot of Hudson Valley/Catskills venues have a rustic-barn vibe that makes you feel like you're cosplaying pastoralism. Living Stone is not that—I'd describe it as elegant wildness. It's like you're tucked in a magical amphitheater of water, stone, trees and moss, and the just-so curation of comfort and luxury is only quietly perceptible. There's an organic flow from one space to the next—guests explored and gathered in cozy nooks, but no one was ever cut off from the central energy of the evening. The lighting—soft, golden, well-distributed—is highly considered and super romantic. The mossy, forested paths are ideal for couples photoshoots and look spectacular in any weather. We shot there in both dappled sunlight and overcast rain, and both circumstances resulted in stunning, vibrant colors. The amenities—from "away rooms" to golf carts to well-stocked, spacious bathrooms—include everything you need and nothing you don't. We did minimal flower arrangements, but you hardly need additional decor because the environment and artfully built infrastructure is so lush, richly textured and visually stimulating. As the co-owner and coordinator, Heather was an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. She's an exceptional communicator who is warm, strategic, solutions-oriented, trustworthy, flexible, calm, creative and focused. Her generosity and attention to detail is unmatched: Heather speedily responded to every message with precision, and when she heard we were really into cocktails, she made large ice cubes and homemade, Luxardo-style cherries for the bar. She has obvious passion and talent for creating special experiences and made us feel deeply cared for throughout the entire process. Our wedding day was transcendent. It was beautiful and super FUN, and truly went off flawlessly. We were blissed out—we worried about nothing and felt so present in the experience. All night long, our guests were effusive about the setting and the vibes—we heard over and over that our wedding was one of the best they've been to. We cannot recommend Living Stone highly enough.

The minute my (now) husband and I stepped foot on Livingstone, we were smitten. It was like a fairytale come true. From it's beautiful cascading waterfall, to the beauty of the many old growth trees, to the gorgeous bluestone, we knew that we wanted to get married here. Heather and Django are the most amazing people to work with. They thought of every detail and were with us every step of the way. Now, they feel like family.

Because of Livingstone Events and their staff, our wedding turned out to be a dream come true. All of our guests said that it was the most special wedding they had ever been to, and we know that that is because of this incredible venue.

If you are looking for the perfect forest fairy tale venue, look no further! Livingstone is the best of the best and we are so grateful for them.
