I can not even begin to explain how utterly amazing both the Stonewall Estate and their Team are. Not only is the venue and its scenery the most beautiful backdrop for a rustic, timeless wedding weekend celebration, the individuals who perfected everything along the way are superb. Let me start off by mentioning that I am super type A - I will not ask for help, I will do it all, and I will ensure my vision comes to light with the way I plan things in every aspect of my life- cue Louann R. I have never, ever, met a person so in-tune and consistently productive throughout our whole wedding planning process. Besides graciously rolling out dozens of recommended vendors before even booking the venue, assisting in contacting different people, ensuring that there is not a single problem from our rehearsal dinner / cocktail party on Friday through our brunch on Sunday, I don't have the words to begin to describe how flawlessly executed our wedding was because of Louann. My husband and I, along with my whole family, absolutely adored her and her team. They are not just professionals who want you to have your wedding and be gone, but they are real, grounded people who really do care about relationships between people and their Stonewall couples' happiness. Louann was available at all hours of the day and night - I had a question? Louann would answer almost immediately if she was not busy with something else, and this was for months before our wedding even happened. Everything from letting me assist in set up days before, which is not even required, their team does everything for you if requested, to making sure everything was the way we wanted it, and if not, would be fixed in a heartbeat. We would get married here a dozen times over if we had the chance. The multiple properties Stonewall has are breathtaking, and everyone who came up from LI for our wedding still graciously comments on how they never thought a "barn wedding" could be so extraordinarily classy and beautiful- but that's what this team and this property create. The food was also a HUGE hit, every dish the Stonewall chef made was delicious, down to the mini desserts. A huge thank you to Stonewall, Louann, and her whole team for allowing our dream wedding to take place at such a gorgeous venue that we will forever remember as the most wonderful day of our lives. I would recommend Stonewall Estate to anyone and everyone who is even thinking about it, you will certainly not be disappointed. Xo Zachary & Kaitlyn Ansbach

I don’t even know where to begin. Our wedding experience at Stonewall Estate was unimaginably perfect.
We started our wedding planning process in December of 2020 and had an incredibly difficult time finding an upstate New York restored barn venue with modern/luxury amenities, but also with people we wanted to work with for the next two years. After our first phone call with Louann, I knew Stonewall Estate was it without even seeing the venue. It is impossible to recount all the ways Louann and her team went above and beyond for us, but I will try to list out a few:
- When we found out we wouldn’t be able to drape the ceiling in the way we wanted to due to fire sprinklers, Louann literally had the fire department move the sprinklers to accommodate our design.
- When we wanted to have our rehearsal dinner on the grass outside Stonewall Estate’s sister property, the Meredith, but there was no liquor license for us to be able to serve alcohol outside, Louann fought for the license to go through before our wedding to give us the rehearsal dinner of our dreams.
- When we wanted specific items on the menu that weren’t available, she made sure to add them, and even made special plates for the bride with food allergies!
- We mentioned that it would be cute to have little patron bottles of margaritas out when guests arrived at cocktail hour (recognizing that it would be difficult to do and we could help make them) and Louann had them without us even knowing she went through with making them!
- When a member of the bridal party’s heel broke off, a member of the Stonewall team went to the drug store to buy super glue to fix her shoe.
- Whenever Louann or Maria saw we were feeling overwhelmed while we were getting ready or taking photos, they made sure to clear the room or get us water
- When my veil fell off right before walking down the aisle, Louann was there with pins to save the day!
There are so many more ways the Stonewall team made our wedding weekend spectacular. I am a type A planner and Louann went through every single meticulous detail with me for countless hours over video chats, emails, text messages, phone calls, and even in person visits when we could make it upstate. Not once did Louann make us feel like we were just one wedding on her long list of weddings she was planning that year. Throughout the planning process our friends and family were blown away with Stonewall’s team and their attention to detail and commitment to their clients (and that was just from planning!). Once the wedding weekend came, it truly is impossible to put into words how perfectly everything went. Of course, there were probably 100 things that went wrong behind the scenes, but not once did my husband or I feel any anxiety or stress over plans.
It goes without saying that the venue itself is beautiful, but the two homes on the property (for the couple and bridal party/family) were unbelievable. It was so special having our friends and family stay with us for the weekend and the Stonewall team keeps the homes immaculate. The bridal and groom suites in the home were perfectly designed for getting ready and our friends had the best time enjoying the grounds for the weekend.
Louann, Maria and the team will forever hold a special place in our hearts. They became family and we hope to share even more life events with them in the future! We are so beyond thankful for everything they did for us and truly cannot recommend Stonewall enough.

This venue is SO beautiful!!! Our wedding inspiration was rustic chic and this barn was perfect! There is a house and guest house on the property which also comes with the venue! We got so many compliments and people are still talking about our wedding. Louann was spectacular from the day we viewed the venue. She is so easy to talk to, very knowledgeable about wedding planning and was always there to answer all of my questions. She was so helpful throughout the process and so calm on our wedding day! That helped calm my nerves so I could enjoy the night. Louann and her team are very professional and a fun group to work with! She made our wedding dreams come true! :) I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!
