This was a perfect venue for my daughter's wedding. It is a family owned and run enterprise and guests are treated like family. Alex, the banquet manager was an excellent partner throughout the process. My daughter bonded with her during our site visit and she was the best possible coordinator for our big weekend. The food was outstanding both for the rehearsal dinner at their Foxfire restaurant and for our reception. If you are looking for a beautiful barn wedding, the Stone Barn is for you!

Amazing to work with!

I had the privilege to provide entertainment services for a wedding at The Stone Barn and they couldn't be easier to work with. Not every venue takes care of the outside vendors but the staff at The Stone Barn was amazing. When I called to schedule a site visit Alex was more than willing to spend some time with me going over the venue and how everything would work. She was also very accommodating when it came to me arriving early the day of the wedding to setup and do sound check. During the event she was on top of everything coordinating the formalities and making sure we were all on the same page. I guess it might be a little unusual for a vendor to review another vendor but they truly deserve it. I hope to work with Alex and the staff at The Stone Barn again, it was truly a pleasure.

We had my daughter's wedding at the Stone Barn in mid-October and it was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Through all the planning Alex and Lindsay were professional, kind, and had everything under control. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests were surprised at the variety and care taken in the preparation. We brought in some additional hors d'oeuvres from favorite spots from places my daughter and my new son-in-law have lived. We added desserts from wonderful local places in Chester County.

The wedding ceremony was outside near the pond and was absolutely a perfect setting.

Alex and Lindsay answered our many questions and changes with aplomb, never showing that anything was difficult. On the big day, they would appear to ask how it was going, help and direct, then 'poof' be in the background. All this while Alex was 9 months pregnant.

I highly recommend The Stone Barn and I'll always remain a big fan.

I am not a person who gives out five stars lately. But if they had a sixth one, I would give the Stone Barn that one, too. I had my wedding at the Mill earlier this month, and from the very beginning of planning to the day itself, I simply could not have asked for a better experience. It's that simple.

First of all, the setting is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Kelly and Heather answered all my scatterbrained questions promptly and thoroughly during the planning stage, which helped me work through figuring out how to put the big event together in a way that was stress-free and easy. Kelly worked with my parents as well as me to coordinate details and was always so nice and pleasant with us. They were flexible on the time we could come decorate the day before and any number of other details. On the day of the event, I felt totally relaxed and calm. The food was absolutely delicious (Beef Wellington and Crab Cakes, both yummy both at the tasting and the event.) The service was excellent. The staff were so helpful and lovely on the day of -- I don't know all of their names, but they were wonderful and deserve a shout-out.

I honestly just feel so grateful. The Stone Barn made my wedding day so easy and stress free. I know I sound like an infomercial, but I had the time of my life at an event I expected to be stressful and full of worrying about details. Nonsense. It was fun and carefree. Thank you to Kelly and her wonderful staff, including Chef Ray, who we got to know at our tasting. I'd highly recommend the Stone Barn to anyone.

The Stone Barn was a wonderful place to hold our reception. Prior to the wedding, they aloud us to come in and scope out the venue, as well as coming in a few months before to discuss what kind of decorations we could have. We even tried out some of our ideas to see if they would work and the wedding consultant gave us suggestions on how to improve the decorations. We were able to come in the day before and set up the decorations ourselves with the assistance of a staff member. The staff were wonderful and made sure that the bridal party was served hour de' vours during cocktail hour. I would definitely recommend the Stone Barn if you are looking for a beautiful rustic venue with lots of picture opportunities and a great staff to work with!

I knew I wanted to get married at the Stone Barn the first time I saw it. My husband and I checked out a number of local venues and did price comparisons on all of them - the Stone Barn was neither the most expensive nor the least expensive, but it definitely had the most "bang for the buck." It is a gorgeous location with both outside and inside ceremony venues. The Mill was great for our reception - plenty of atmosphere and space! The staff is very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The food is fresh, local, and amazing, and the head chef (Ray) is awesome. Our wedding was beautiful.

The Stone Barn is easily the best place to have a wedding in the area. We rented The Mill for our Sept 17th wedding and it could not have been easier or more beautiful. Kelly and Alex are serious pros at this and answer any questions you might have leading up to the event. They're also on hand on the day of the event making sure you don't forget to do something. I wouldn't have made it through without them, but with them it was a breeze. You don't even need to hire a wedding planner with them in the package!

On the day of, everything was gorgeous and perfectly set up to our specifications. Not only that, but the food was incredible. People are still raving about it almost 2 weeks later. I'm planning on going back for a meal in the Foxfire restaurant ASAP. Their new chef Ray does an incredible job.

You have to go to The Stone Barn. You WILL fall in love with the Mill. I couldn't have imagined a more gorgeous setting for a wedding.

Our daughter was engaged in March 2011 and married in June 2011. Peggy at the Stone Barn was so helpful in every aspect of the planning and the day of the wedding, was more than we imagined.

We booked way in advance, and at the time our guest list was not big enough to book the mill building, but we had our pick of 2 other rooms, each with their own ceremony site. By the time of the final payment, our list had grown and because it wasn't booked we were able to switch to the mill afterall. We held an afternoon ceremony in the garden by the pond, followed by the reception in the old mill building. The food was delicious for our buffet, the staff incredibly helpful, and the wedding coordinator was always very good at getting back to us quickly when we had questions throughout the planning stages. The mill provides an indoor/outdoor venue for the reception and we were blessed with perfect weather enabling guests to take full advantage. They have on site back-up for inclement weather for each room choice, as well, which initially drew me to the place. Friends who were well into planning their weddings were coming up to us saying they wished they had seen the place before they booked their own special day and everyone still raves about the whole day even now 2 years later!
