This is one hidden gem that I am so glad I came across. It was one of the first venues I saw online that caught my eye and the first one I saw in person. It had everything Grant and I could have wanted including an open Saturday in September! I met with Prudy during my first visit and she was so kind and full of helpful information. The grounds were perfect for us and the Fairy Garden was exactly what we had envisioned for an outdoor ceremony. Before the end of that day, I was working with her to secure our wedding date! Her and Tom were so quick to reply to all communication and sent out helpful tips along the way. Stonegate also has items that you can borrow for your day and ones you can rent through them which is very convenient--their vintage furniture collection is awesome! During the wedding planning process, Prudy announced they had a Month-of Coordinator that would be available for a limited amount of dates for the upcoming wedding months. Thankfully, Grant and I listened to his parents and hired Jen. We could not have done this without her!! Of all the decisions we made, that was by far the best one (after booking this venue of course!). She truly was a pleasure to work with and we knew our wedding day was in good hands with her. All the random "check-in" texts or emails from her were so thoughtful and she always made it known she was there for us with whatever questions we might have as we planned our perfect day. We had multiple family members and guests comment on her work ethic that day and how she had answers to any questions. We also have some great pictures that showcase this :) We would highly recommend not only the venue, but hiring Jen as well! Thank you to Prudy, Tom, and Jen for making our day so amazing. - Mr. and Mrs. Cramer

Stonegate Manor was the best decision we made for our wedding!
Stonegate Manor is absolutely beautiful! My husband and I got married in the Fairy Garden, which is one of their three ceremony spots on the property! I have never worked with a better group of people! Prudy, Tom, & Jen are next to none. Their customer service & how they care for their brides made our decision very easy. The Stonegate team are willing to do what ever they can to make your dreams come true. I asked them many different questions about moving or changing something and they were always open to it and always searched for a way to make it work. Not a lot of my guests have been to the Benton Harbor area before but after leaving they made sure to mention to us how much they loved our venue. We got stunning pictures because of how beautiful and green the property is. I never wanted to leave. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose to have the biggest day of your life at Stonegate Manor. It was the best decision we made for our wedding. HUGE thank you to Tom, Prudy, and Jen (The Stonegate Team)!!!
