About
Where Nature Sets The Scene
Stone House at Stirling Ridge is New Jersey’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired wedding venue, a luxury property on 10 acres of Watchung Mountain beauty in Warren, NJ, where steel, wood, stone, and glass come together in a setting no purpose-built ballroom can replicate. With Chef David Drake running the kitchen and complete dual-venue exclusivity guaranteed, this is the unique wedding venue in NJ that design-forward, food-first couples have been searching for. Serving couples from Somerset County, Morris County, the NYC suburbs, and beyond.
The Grand Ballroom
Up to 325 Guests · Exclusive Use · Indoor/Outdoor Ceremony
The Grand Ballroom at Stone House is an architectural statement, with 16-foot ceilings, a series of glass doors that open onto private gardens and fire pits, and views across the Watchung Mountain gardens that change with every season. Natural materials, classic clean lines, and a neutral palette create a setting that genuinely earns the word luxury. Accommodating up to 325 guests, the space is designed to feel as intimate as it is impressive. Your guests will know the difference before they sit down.
The Lodge
Up to 170 guests · Exclusive Use · Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired · Second Independent Space
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy of bringing nature and structure into every surface, The Lodge is a mid-century modern yet industrial space fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, wrought-iron chandeliers, and a stone fireplace standing 20 feet tall. Paired with a multi-level cocktail space that feels like a private art gallery, brick walls, slate and wood floors, and an angled ceiling that makes every corner worth looking at.
On the opposite side of the property from the Grand Ballroom, The Lodge offers complete, private exclusivity for a second simultaneous event. No shared corridors. No shared views. No moment where your wedding and another occupy the same space. This is what exclusive-use wedding venues in NJ should mean, and rarely do.
The Grounds & Gardens
10 Acres · Outdoor Ceremony Space
Ten acres of Watchung Mountain gardens designed for outdoor wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, and portraits that look like they belong in a design magazine. The outdoor garden wedding venue setting at Stone House is the product of intentional landscape design, every sight line considered, every corner photogenic. Somerset County, NJ, has nothing else like it.
Chef-Driven Culinary Experience
Our award-winning Chef David Drake sources locally and from our on-site Dancing Goat Farm to deliver a high-quality, farm-to-table experience that is truly memorable. This is the kind of dining that goes beyond the wedding day. Stone House couples know their guests will still be talking about the food on Monday, not just the room.
The Bridal Suite (Grand Ballroom)
Stone House’s Grand Ballroom features a dedicated Bridal Suite. It’s the perfect private, beautifully appointed space for you and your wedding party to get ready, relax, and take in the moment before the day begins. Designed with the same attention to detail as the venue itself, it’s the perfect retreat to prepare in comfort and style before stepping into one of the most extraordinary wedding settings in New Jersey.
The Wedding Nook (The Lodge)
The wedding suite for the Lodge is attached to the pre-function space, featuring a private room, private bathroom, and balcony. It’s the perfect space to unwind with your wedding party before your big day takes flight.

Beautiful venue space and wonderful team to work with!
What a Perfect Day!
Our Maitre’D Frank was excellent; he navigated us and our family through the day without a hiccup. The cocktail hour was phenomenal; I recommend extending the cocktail hour as we did because our guests could not get enough of it. The sushi add-on was also a huge hit; our guests were double-fisting plates of sushi. Our guests loved the indoor/outdoor style cocktail area, especially with the weather being great on our wedding day. The passed lamb chops and the crab cakes are a must; they were so good! We went with the hot antipasto station, the carving station, and the seafood paella station. All were a hit, but the fan favorite was the hot antipasto station; everyone was boasting about the fried calamari.
Typically at weddings, the one thing I get frustrated with is long lines at the bar. We had over 130 people at our wedding and there barely was a line at either bartender the entire night long! The bartenders absolutely killed it, especially with some of our guests ordering drinks for their entire table.
Our reception went off without a hitch! We had asked Stone House if we could move our sweetheart table in front of the fireplace instead of in the middle of the dance floor, and they obliged and made our vision happen! Our guests loved the food, as everyone raved about the short rib and passed desserts. The lodge room may seem smaller than a typical venue room, but for a party of around 125 people, it's plenty of room. The outside lounge is also a great addition, as many guests ventured outside to make s'mores by the fireplace as nightfall came.
The staff at our wedding was very courteous and attentive all night long. They were constantly bringing our guests refills, and made sure to bring everyone passed after dinner drinks and desserts. They even went outside to the fire pits and brought our guests drinks and desserts while they were smoking cigars and lounging.
We cannot stress enough how beautiful and amazing our wedding was at the Lodge at Stone House!
Best. Choice. Ever.

This won't surprise you, but this place is perfect!
Beyond expectations
We wanted to sincerely thank you everyone at The Stone House, for being absolutely incredible and such an integral part of our wedding day. From the moment we walked in to see the venue about a year and a half ago to the actual special day, Sarah and everyone at The Stone House were absolutely wonderful to us.
We wanted to extend our gratitude to the staff that helped the day of the event, to Sarah our Event stylist, to Frank our Maitre'd, to Mercedes our bridal attendant and every single waitstaff and bartender that made our night special, without You all the magic would have not been the same.
Our Family, friends, Co-Workers and even the Industry Partners that were at the wedding cannot express enough how good the service and food were for the event and they still complimenting everything about the Venue, and that is all thanks to You and your Team.
We recommend highly The Stone House!!!
The best of the best
The staff are top notch. Sarah Gore helped us plan every detail prior, making sure that we knew the space, the food, the bar, the aesthetic and giving us recommendations for the vendors that they didn’t include.
Frank was our maitre d and managed every staff member and took care of every need our day of on site. His energy and presence actually allowed for us to not worry about any detail. The waitstaff, bartenders, and other staff took care of every single guest.
The food. The food. The food. There was SO MUCH food and it was so good. Every single guest told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had and it was. The chef made sure that we had the food that we wanted, the way we wanted and that every single guest was taken care of.
If you are on the fence, go to the venue, have brunch at the restaurant and you will get a sense of the experience that you will have. TOP notch and would recommend to any couple looking to get married in the tri-state area
