Absolutely incredible wedding venue!

My husband and I got married at The Stone Terrace on New Year’s Eve (12/31/22) and if we could give The Stone Terrace 10 stars we would! From the very first meeting with Tricia, the venue went above and beyond to make it the wedding of our dreams.
The venue is breathtaking all year round (tons of beautiful options inside and outside for photos). The service was spectacular. Our family and friends said it was the best wedding food they have ever had (in addition, we were able to enjoy all the food from our cocktail hour, which was very important to us). The bartenders made amazing drinks and people rarely had to wait.
Honestly, absolutely everything provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy – made seamless by Tricia & Joelynn, who made every effort to accommodate us in every way to make it the most perfect night for us and our guests. They were always quick to respond, making communication simple. All aspects of the contract were clearly explained, and the timeline / due dates were easy to follow. The night started and ended perfectly – We are beyond happy with our experience.
I cannot recommend this venue, and all of it’s staff, enough! A million thanks to Tricia, Joelynn, John and the rest of the wonderful staff for giving us an unbelievable night, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

I wish I could give 6 stars!!!!!

The Stone Terrace has been amazing and gone above and beyond, especially during a pandemic. We had our engagement party, micro wedding reception, bridal shower, and just had our full wedding reception (and after party) on Saturday. They made me feel so comfortable and Joelynn was always available to answer any questions I had. I gave them all of our decorations and they displayed it even better than I could have done myself. And the food - our guests are still raving about the food! Everything was so delicious. Service was amazing as well! I highly recommend having your event(s) here. I definitely plan on having my future events here.

Beautiful experience

As soon as my husband and I toured this venue I walked through the doors and immediately knew this was the place! It was a great value for what is offered, the rooms they have are beautiful, the staff is so courteous and professional they really made the night special tending to all of the guest and our wants and needs making the day go so smooth. We had such a great wedding experience thanks to the stone terrace not to mention everyone raving about how great the food was! I would definitely recommend this venue.

A Night To Remember

Could not have had a better venue for our special day. Everything was PERFECT and just was such a fun and memorable night. We were able to spend time with everyone and wasn’t pulled away for any part of it. Been to so many weddings where the bride and groom miss cocktail hour and bits and pieces of the night and we were so fortunate that this venue allowed us to take our family pics prior to the venue so we could be a part of it all and spend time with our loved ones. Stone Terrace comes highly recommended. Fantastic employees and fantastic ownership.
