We had a great experience with Stephens College Events and Fresh Ideas. We used both Firestone Baars Chapel as our ceremony space and Kimball Ballroom (next door) as our reception space. If you want food at your event, you have to use Fresh Ideas as your caterer, but their food is very good, it's just something to be aware of.

Both venues are absolutely beautiful and can support a large crowd, so large or small, your event will likely fit into these spaces. They set up the room just how we wanted it, and everything looked beautiful. The staff was great to work with, quickly responding to any concerns or questions we had both during planning and on the day of our event. It was a great experience!

This was a great venue! The staff at Stephens College was great and helped us have the wedding of our dreams! They were very professional and easy to work with. If you are looking for a different layout or something a little unique for your big day, I would highly recommend Firestone Baars Chapel on Stephens College campus.

Perfect chapel and reception location. The chapel is a short walk from the beautiful ballroom. Stephens College Events takes care of catering and provides a great list of vendors to work with.

The food was excellent. Amanda and Grant were easy to work with and made sure all of our needs were met

The Kimball Ballroom is beautiful and needs very few decorations. It is perfect for a wedding reception

great to work with!

Stephen's did an amazing job for us. We rented Senior Hall - which was a really fun place to have a reception. Tim and his crew were incredibly flexible and willing to work with us on menu. Their mashed potini's were our idea! :) (mashed potatoes in martini glasses - so so fun!) Highly recommend this staff.

SC Events was always responsive to contact, and the venue (Lela Raney Wood Hall Kimball Ballroom) is gorgeous as far as reception venues go. The only downside to using the Kimball Ballroom is that you have to use their caterer, Fresh Ideas, and we had a horrible experience with the catering. Otherwise, I can't recommend this venue highly enough for a reception, especially if you have a larger guest count (we had around 250).

We hosted our dinner, reception and dance in the Kimball Ballroom (Lela Raney Wood Hall) at Stephen's College. The catering department and catering director were amazing to work with! They went out of their way to make sure our dinner was exactly what we envisioned. The special events coordinator, who helped us set up our timeline and choose the layout of our room, was helpful when we could get in touch with her; but we had some difficulty getting her to respond to emails or calls in a timely fashion. Overall, the venue was great. They were easy to work with and open to our suggestions about how we wanted our event to go.

We used Stephens ONLY for our ceremony (Firestone Baars Chapel). It was surprisingly affordable for such a beautiful location with an organ. We did have to purchase separate insurance for the event, though, which was a small added cost, as well as having to rent the chapel the day prior to the wedding for the rehearsal (this isn't included unless no one books it). The only issue we ran into with the chapel is that it is a little hard to fit a large bridal party near the altar (not the fault of Stephens, though!).

The people at Stephens were always pleasant to speak with, and were good about returning calls and e-mails. Overall, I was very satisfied with our decision to have our ceremony there, it is unique and beautiful! I would recommend it!

Our reception was at Stephens College Senior Hall. Beautiful -- had parlor rooms where people who didn't want to dance could sit and mingle. Great food, great service.
