Occasions At Stone River

Wow! We had my daughter’s wedding at Occasions this past Saturday! I can not say enough how truly amazing the entire experience was! Jennifer, the wedding planner, was so helpful every step of the way! The prime rib by Zach and staff was the best I have ever tasted and the strawberry margaritas were amazing. Norman the photographer took beautiful pictures that were already displayed on the screen during reception. All guests had so much fun with the Photo Booth. The whole process was really made so easy with everything included. The owners truly made us feel like family.

Just had our ceremony and reception here on October 21, 2023! It was amazing working with my wedding coordinator Jennifer was so great. Everything I needed she had! The food was absolutely amazing. One complaint was that we didn't stay longer! :)

This was the perfect venue! The staff was extremely professional and helpful. I didn't have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day. Everything was taken care of and was an absolute dream come true!

Our wedding at Occasions at Stone River in Royse City, Texas was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew this was the perfect venue for our special day. It's not often that you find a place that combines natural beauty, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, but Occasions at Stone River managed to exceed our expectations in every way. The staff at Occasions at Stone River are simply outstanding. From the moment we booked the venue until the last guest left our reception, the team was there to make our day perfect. They were professional, attentive, and accommodating. They worked closely with us to ensure every detail was taken care of, and their experience showed as they guided us through the planning process. We can't thank them enough for their dedication. This day will forever be etched in our memories as the most perfect day. The combination of the stunning location, the exceptional staff, and the overall experience left us and our guests in awe. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to create unforgettable memories on their special day. This is more than just a wedding venue— it's a place where dreams come true. We can't express our gratitude enough for the remarkable experience they provided us. If you're searching for the perfect venue for your wedding, look no further – this is it!

We used Occasions to cater our wedding at a different venue. They were great to work with and were very responsive. The food was fantastic and plentiful. They were very accommodating with providing alternative options for our guests with dietary restrictions.

I'd like to say first that my review is much later than I would have liked to add it but we had a big issue with the wedding video. We were led to believe during our viewing and pricing that the wedding video would be an actual wedding video. We only found out after the wedding was over (plus 2 months), that was not the case. What we apparently paid for was a "highlight video", despite reading in the contract that it would be a "video of ceremony & reception". Jennifer made an attempt to fix our video issue by paying for any corrections the videographer had to make, but that only made it a few seconds longer than 7 mins. The videographer wasn't to blame too much as she claimed to have not been told where the groomsmens were coming out of or when we were exactly starting the wedding, however,she didn't do a very good job with what she had given us. I suggest bringing your own videographer if you have your wedding here. Also, the dj was all right. He didn't really talk with me much other than send a form over for what songs we wanted. So I felt a little brushed aside on that topic. Also Jennifer was great, but I feel at this time she could have done a better job at coordinating during my wedding as no one told us when to come out into the reception area so we went out too early! All negative aspects of my wedding date aside, the venue itself was beautiful! Jennifer got the correct table decorations I asked for even the unique detail of having a different color flower on each table! She was very kind through the whole planning process with having to step up into a role she wasn't quite comfortable with as coordinator. The food was delicious and the photographer, while he did take forever with the photos and over priced us on the albums (which were very short), the pictures he took were really good. I had to make my own album since I was disappointed with his. Also, the staff was very hard working and did an amazing job. Overall, the wedding was great.

They will go above and beyond for you! Johnny and Jennifer were amazing throughout the whole process.

Occasions at Stone River was a fantastic venue! They were super adaptable and very kind! Jennifer and the team did a great job with everything and getting us back on track when everything went off the rails before we got to the venue. The food was great and everything was a super reasonable price. 10/10 would suggest them for any event.

Occasions at Stone River was a dream wedding venue!!! We were looking for an affordable all inclusive wedding venue and that's exactly what we found!! The wedding chapel, the grounds, and the reception hall were all beautiful!! The decorations were perfect! The food was delicious! Their photographer is talented, and their wedding coordinator, Jennifer Rakeshaw, was an angel!! They made the day perfect and way less stressful!! We HIGHLY recommend Occasions at Stone River!!!

I had my wedding here and this place was everything and some. When I met the owner Johnny and he gave my husband and I a tour we knew that day that this was the place we would have our wedding. I am forever grateful for everyone that helped in the making of my dream wedding from our wonderful coordinator Jenn to the DJ Micah and our photographer Suad. And the food was amazing. Thank you Occasions at Stone River for making my special day even more special.

We got married here on June 18 and everything turned out perfect!! Everyone loved it from the food to the venue itself. It was the first venue we looked at and fell in love. The staff was accommodating and I loved every minute of it!

We attended Occasions at Stone River tasting. Immediately, we did not doubt that we want it them to cater our wedding. From there, the rest was history. On a phone call, I had the opportunity to speak to the owner Johny Crenshaw who shared their business summarized story. A selling point for my husband and me. We were impressed by their mission, and we felt that they genuinely want to provide superior services at reasonable prices by offering customizable packages. Consequently, I met with Jennifer Rakestraw, office manager, who helped us throughout the process of contracting them as our caterers. She was informative with all the details regarding their service options and contract. Jennifer and our wedding planner, Viviana from VNG's Creations Event Planning Services, worked closely together and informed my husband and me about our selected services, cost, and contract requirements. Working with both of them was simple and easy. Occasions at Stone River option packages are straightforward, customizable, and reasonably priced. The owners, Johny and Betty Crenshaw, and staff, including Chef Robert Zachery, servers, carvers, and assistants, are professional, pleasant, and strive to provide the best service possible. Before discovering Occasions at Stone River, my husband was determined to have prime rib for our reception dinner. Since we were planning a modest wedding with sixty guests, I didn't oppose his food choice. So, we tried a few steakhouses, and we thought we had found the one, but they would not allow us to have music, not even for our first dance. So, This prompted us to search for other options, which led us to find Occasions at Stone River. They were recommended for their catering services by another local venue we visited. They had a professional relationship with them from working with them. Honestly, we are thankful for their recommendation. We commissioned Occasions at stone River for their catering services since we already had chosen a different venue for our reception. If we had found them sooner, we would have considered them for our reception venue. They offer all-inclusive, customizable options, making them excellent for anyone's event needs. Our wedding day dinner was magnificent and went on without a glitch. Our one hundred guests, initially sixty, and we were happy with the food and service provided by this business. We will keep them as our top choice for future events and highly recommend them. Thank you for helping us make our day even more delightful!

This was the most perfect setting for our Celebration of Life Ceremony to honor my mom's memory. Their garden features all the things my mom loved: gazebo, live swans, pond, bridge, weeping willow, beautiful potted flowers. And the catering was great!! Can't say enough good things.

Just had my daughters wedding here, Beautiful venue,professional staff, elegant set up. Made her day beautiful ! Please visit them- great choice!

I hired Occasions at Stone River for their off-site catering for my wedding at the Springs Event Venue in Rockwall, TX! I ultimately chose them because of how many services were tied into the catering. They included linens, centerpieces, a DJ, cake, appetizers and more! They even cut our cake at no extra fee since we brought paper plates and plastic forks to serve the cake! They made it super easy since I was originally planning to do my own centerpieces and hire the DJ separately. We got so many compliments on the food! We had chicken because we knew most people could eat chicken over pork and it was very tender and the sauce was delicious! We also were able to pick whatever sides we wanted and we upgraded the buffet salad as well. They included unlimited tea and coffee which was much appreciated. On the day of the wedding, they could tell we didn’t really have a wedding coordinator on site and we were sort of relying on our photographer for the schedule, so they jumped in and helped us keep the reception moving and made sure everyone had what they needed the whole time! They also set up all the tables when they arrived and did all the clean up at the end, so it was super low stress for us! I would definitely recommend this company for your off-site catering!

I couldn't've asked for a more perfect day! Everyone who works at this event was amazing, but I'd love t o give a few shout outs: 1. Johnny. The co-owner with his wife & family. He was the one to show us around and was very incentive with communication. Such a sweet person and right away I knew this venue was the place I wanted for my wedding. 2. Angela. Wedding Coordinator & main contact throughout the planning process. I was very much an annoying bride who always asked too many questions & she answered every email, call, & text in a timely manner with such a positive energy. On the day of the wedding, she and the crew got everything up & done without a hitch (WHICH IS UNHEARD OF IN A WEDDING). 3. Jennifer. Caterer & main contact for catering needs. Jennifer not only assisted me with communicating with regular affairs, but she was the absolute star in helping us with the food. When we couldn't make our first tasting due to severe weather, she rescheduled us without missing a beat, and made us feel heard and cared for. 4. Micah. DJ extraordinaire. He not only handled our last minute requests like a pro, but made every song through our ceremony & reception a hit. His set up with a pre-set format to request specific music was precise & easy to fill. My father and I even made a joke to him about mixing up our father/daughter dance and he made our fun wish happen without any bumps! Everyone was busy dancing we had almost stayed too long! Lol The setting of the venue is amazing because it is flexible to all styles of weddings. They have an indoor & outdoor ceremony location (we used outdoor, which had a gazebo). The outside has a small pond with a bridge over it with two beautiful swans who live in it. The reception hall is extremely spacious & seating/dancefloor can be set in any way you wish. We had requested round tables with 8 people per & they made it happen with no issues. Entire decorations were their doing (came with the package). They made our vision better than I ever could have planned. I will always mention this venue to anyone I know wanting to host an event. They had nearly everything included in the package & it was to perfection.

This place and the people that helped me pull through a successful wedding … the best . First off , we live in Fort Worth , 85 miles from this place but we chose it for it’s good review and for its price . I had about 160 guests and all of them bragged about how good the food was and how awesome the party was Shout out to jeniffer, the office manager and to Angela the wedding coordinator for patiently answering all my questions along with my husband’s who was in Hawaii the whole time the wedding plans were going on Shout to our DJ Micah for also making it the best party ever and for patiently answering my concerns . Johnny the owner was our officiant and it turned out to be a good Christian one with good message . Also they’d been good about calling back to say we left a case of Champagne there and for us to pick it up Thank you occasions for all your help

We couldn’t have been more happier with Occasions at Stone River! They did such a great job with everything. The package we chose was perfect for us and we couldn’t be happier. We chose this venue at first because of their prices, and we got more than our money’s worth. They took care of everything. I highly recommend Occasions at Stone River!

Occasions at Stone River is an amazing venue. Everything went perfectly, the decorations beautiful and the staff were so nice and friendly. I highly recommend Occasions -- we had an amazing time.

I used Occasions At Stone River catering at my wedding. As the bride, it was a complete stress reliever to know that I didn’t have to worry about my centerpieces or linens. They had everything up there that I wanted, and had so many different options to pick from. I was very happy with how everything turned out. Johnny was the officiant, he did an amazing job during the ceremony. He helped it run so smoothly, and said beautiful words. The food was the best part, Zach did an awesome job. Everything was so delicious, I couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out. The staff were so polite, and everything was great. We also used Angela, the photographer and wedding coordinator. She did a beautiful job on our pictures. I loved how they turned out and will cherish them forever. We got them back so fast to enjoy them too, and had no problems which I am so thankful for. Thank you all to Occasions At Stone River.

When we first visited Occasions, my daughter and I both fell in love with the place. The best part of it all was that they do EVERYTHING. When they say all inclusive, they mean it. They had everything we wanted and so much more. The venue was so beautiful. Everyone was talking about how good the food was. All of the folks who work there are so friendly and my daughter could not have been happier. I can tell you I highly recommend this venue. Thank you all.

Occasions at stone river did an amazing job!! My daughter's wedding was in May and they handled every last detail. Even the ones I had completely forgotten about. They took care of it. We went with their breakfast menu and it was perfect. Chef Zach did not disappoint!!! Everyone loved the food. The staff was polite and very helpful with all of our needs. I couldnt of asked for better service. Johnny the owner is an officiant he did a lovely job. The pictures oh the pictures!!! Angela did an amazing job!!!! They were beautifu!!!! I can't thank them enough for making the day perfect.

The staff was very attentive to my needs and I could not be happier with my experience. The decorations were beautiful and I appreciate how friendly everyone was. Thank you!

beautiful venue and decorations-great service-everyone was so nice and friendly-had wonderful time

I don’t even know where to begin! Johnny, the owner. He is the sweetest man, his #1 goal is to make sure the bride and groom are happy. He did an amazing job as the officiant for our wedding as well. We were able to have a personal meeting with him about what kind of ceremony we would like. Angela, the photographer and coordinator - one word. WOW! At first I was a little nervous at the thought of 1 person having 2 jobs. However, Angela knocked both jobs out of the park!! All of our pictures turned out amazing. Meanwhile making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, and making sure there wasn’t 1 need I had that hadn’t been met. If I looked in Angela’s direction- she was prompt and ready to help! Dj Peter - did an amazing job, and kicked our butts (in a good way)!! Did an amazing job at finding the right type of flow of music we liked and getting everyone pumped up. The overall venue - Peacefulness amongst chaos. Wedding planning is a huge, stressful, time consuming ordeal. Occasions has a very relaxed fairy tale vibe. The day of I felt very calm, looking out the windows seeing all the beautiful greenery. If I could go back and change anything, I wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Occassions was by far the best choice! It was so elegant and everything was perfect. The owner and employees went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I absolutely loved Angela and always could count on her to make me feel less stressed and more calm about my decisions. She was my voice of reason at some times too. I 100% recommended this venue. The food was great as well, we went with the Tex-México buffet and I loved it.

We used Occasions for our off-site plated dinner and coordination, with the platinum package. We also used their in-house DJ, Micah Johnson. I can't say enough about all of them. Chef Zach's food was incredible, with great portion sizes. The plated dinner service went off without a hitch. I received numerous compliments on the food all night. Kendra was our coordinator, and she handled my high anxiety/stress perfectly, even when I tracked her down for pointless things and asked her to do something she was already doing--she was kind, professional, and a real pro. Micah kept the dance floor moving all night and the transitions of the evening were smooth. Everything was perfect, and it is largely (mostly) because of our choice to go through Occasions. We had a hiccup with a former planner who had stolen some of our money before our wedding, and the Occasions staff/owners worked with us to create a new payment plan and they never got annoyed at my constant questions that I seemed to have everyday. Absolutely worth booking through them.

We got the catering service for the Casa Blanca for our dinner with the Gold package. It went perfectly with our location (The Springs Rockwall Manor). The food was absolutely delicious. We were actually really happy to have some leftovers after the wedding, since we only had one plate at the wedding. The carving station was wonderful for those who wanted their meat a bit more pink. All the staff was dressed professionally and were attentive.

There is not enough space for these reviews to share everything I want to say about this venue! My husband and I booked Ocassions in March and got married here November 4th. It was absolutely perfect! The staff at this venue feel like family when you're working with them. They're so sweet and so accommodating! Johnny, Angela, and April specifically helped us in planning and answering all questions timely and patiently! The food here was AMAZING. Our guests are still talking about how good it is and lucky for us, we came home eoyh left overs we froze and have been eating all week, still so good! We chose the Rancher with green beans and mashed potatoes which were to die for! The house DJ, Peter offers an hour photo booth and does so many cool things with the screen in the reception hall that will make you and all your guests smile the whole night. The fact that this venue even offers centerpieces and decor is such a weight lifted off the bride. Our wedding was just stunning and I'm really sad it's over, but so happy with the turn out! Thank you to everyone who made this special day perfect for us! We will miss working with you all!

Occasions at Stone River handled everything for me. No one had to show up early to decorate or leave late to clean up. There is no extra work for the couple, unless you want to make work for yourselves. The staff there are friendly and answer questions promptly. The indoor and outdoor areas are gorgeous. I had my ceremony in the Chapel, but we took our couple's portraits outside by the gazebo. They tell you their prices upfront during your first meeting, so no need to worry about hidden charges. The catering was absolutely delicious and all of my guests were obsessed with the Potini Bar (mashed potatoes in a martini glass, trust me..it's worth it).

Food was exceptional and service was excellent! The staff was professional and friendly! Had many remarks that it was the best wedding menu that they had ever experienced! The staff was on time and very accommodating to our wishes. One maybe concerned on pricing but it is worth every penny! Judy Fries

My mom had her wedding at Occasions at Stone River. This venue is the perfect all-inclusive wedding venue. Everything was taken care of from set-up, clean-up, linens, and centerpieces. You can even bring in your own decorations, if you want, to add your own personal touch. The food was phenomenal and Johnny was her officiant and his words were lovely. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue!

This venue is the perfect all-inclusive wedding venue. Very organized, intimate setting, and friendly staff. Everything was spot on. They set-up, decorated, and tore down. There’s so many things to stress about surrounding a wedding, but they took the majority of that stress away. Tables, chairs, linens.. everything was included. They have a great food was phenomenal, and Angela is a great wedding coordinator and photography. Johnny was our officiant and his words were lovely. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect

Beautiful inside and out. The day of on-site coordinator was helpful without being intrusive. They are super accommodating and flexible with special requests. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.

The staff made us feel so special. They went beyond taking care of us. The venue, the help and the food was outstanding!! We wouldn’t have changed anything. It was perfect!

My wedding day was absolutely perfect! The staff was amazing and everyone went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect! I had my fairytale wedding that was better than I could have imagined.

We had our wedding on March 10th at this venue and I cannot say enough great things about this place. I love how hard the staff works behind the scenes, but keep you at ease throughout the process. I was never worried about a single thing on their end and our wedding day could not have been better. I love Angela! She works so hard as wedding coordinator and photographer and keeps everything flowing smoothly. The DJ Peter was awesome as well. The all inclusive deal made this venue our #1 choice, but I would choose them all over again after such a wonderful experience! Thank you to everyone at Occasions for giving us such a perfect wedding day!

Our wedding was on the 11th of March, the staff at stone river was great!! They was 100% professional, this was the best I could have ever ask for, Peter and Angela OMG they were soooo great, I can’t believe how great they were at they jobs

This venue was AMAZING! We just got married on January 27, 2018 and I cannot say enough good things about this venue. First off, we were on a pretty tight budget because we were paying for most of the wedding ourselves and this venue definitely helped keep us on track. They have many different package options that you can choose from and customize it to your budget, style, needs, and wants. Second, if you're like me, I had no idea where to start on food, decorations, DJs, etc. for the wedding. Occasions made it all SO easy! They are an all inclusive venue which was huge weight lifted off our shoulders. We used their caterer and went with The Rancher option but substituted potato salad for mac n cheese and it was one of the best decisions we could have done, I'm still getting compliments on how good that mac n cheese was along with the rest of the food as well. We got our cakes from Lakeview Bakery in Rowlett that Occasions recommended and the cakes were delicious and looked beautiful too! All of their flavors were wonderful, you couldn't go wrong with any of them. They also provided the tables, chairs, linens, and decorations which were perfect! Everything came together so beautifully and even better than I could have imagined. Angela did a great job of helping me put everything together. We also used their DJ-Peter, who like everything else, was amazing! After we completed the phone session, we felt much more comfortable about the day of. We had some blanks on the music sheets too and Peter helped us fill those in. The crowd loved the kick off idea he had, everybody was dancing! And on the day of we did have to change the order of a few things and he made it happen like that was the way it was supposed to be the whole time. Everybody has been asking me how the day went and not a single thing went wrong that day and I am so pleased! I know we chose the right venue for our special day. Thank you to everybody at Occasions who had a part in it! James and Kailey Webster

We had our wedding yesterday and it was perfect. Angela was there all day to make sure things ran smoothly and took all the pictures I wanted. Peter and I had multiple conversations where he made sure I had everything I wanted music and technology wise. April was there with quick answers every time I emailed. This venue made wedding planning a dream. I just picked out from a list what I wanted and knew the price right away. If I had a request they worked to make it happen. When I went in to plan my center pieces I had a room full of inspiration to work with. The fact I didn't have to work with other vendors was so relaxing. They have the wedding planner, photographer, DJ, caterer etc all in house. The staff was phenomenal and polite. It made the day so smooth and I would recommend this place for anyone planning their big day. It was gorgeous and economical. Being a young couple paying for the whole thing, this was just the place for us.

We chose Occasions for our catering services at our own reception venue. They offer their catering services, among many other things, "a la carte." They do have their own ceremony and reception sight, but we just used them for their amazing food at our own venue. They provide an overwhelming yet absolutely amazing variety of different price points to fit your budget as well as menu items. Their food is TO DIE FOR. It was so delicious. Their buffet spread is not your run of the mill buffet. It's a STYLIZED buffet complete with decor and ambiance. They were amazing to work with, with a few in person meetings for planning. We had one final planning meeting where we finalized everything and really it was all smooth sailing. The entire staff is great to work with and they are just all around good people. My groom and I opted to have a private dinner together in the bridal suite at our venue so we could have 15 minutes to ourselves, uninterrupted. The Occasions staff was happy to accommodate and brought us both a plate full of food. We had beef and pork loin with all the fixings. The meat was amazingly moist and all the sides were just melt-in-your-mouth yummy. They also provided our bar staff and security in their services - which was a stress reliever to know that they also had that taken care of. Overall, I without any doubts highly recommend Occasions for any of your wedding needs - they do it all! - but definitely as your catering. It was AMAZING. Even our guests were coming up to us later that evening as well as after our wedding telling us how good the dinner was.

Thank you Occasions at Stone River for making the wedding of my dreams come to life! A lovely place with lovely people that truly care about you and your vision of your special day!

Everything about our granddaughters wedding was perfect! Such an easy process, everthing under one roof.

My husband and I were married on May 20, 2017 at the Occasions at Stone River and we couldn’t of asked for a better experience. With help from my mom, my husband and I planned our wedding with no wedding planner and let me tell you that was a stressful experience until I met April and Angela. I had thought multiple times about hiring a wedding planner and I was a completely wreck. I thought I knew what I wanted, but I had no idea. April and Angela eased my concerns completely. The day of the wedding Angela was running around all day making sure that my wedding day ran completely as planned and smooth. She coordinated the whole thing and it went off without a hitch. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the decorations were amazing. Looking back on the reception I can’t even count how many people told me how much fun they had. Peter (DJ) was beyond incredible. I was so freaked out about picking my music and making sure it flowed well together. Peter took the time to spend hours talking with my husband and I on the phone before the big day to make sure we got the perfect reception that we wanted. PETER WAS AMAZING, EVERYONE LOVED HIM!!! He even recorded the whole ceremony and reception on video so we didn’t miss a thing. We can now go back and reminisce on the best night of our lives. Zack (chef) was also incredible! Talk about an amazing cook, we chose to have the beef tenderloin. OMG I had so many people tell me it tasted just like eating prime rib, and it really was that amazing! To all the rest of the staff that helped make our day so special, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!! You helped make our dreams come true! Michael and Colleen Dolan

Bravo, all around! Johnny, Angela, Peter, Zach, and all the staff hit it out of the park. Our wedding, despite all the couple's fussing over the little details, could not have gone better. We're still getting enthusiastic compliments. The food, the atmosphere, the energy, the entertainment... perfect. The staff put our minds at ease that it would go well, and boy, did it ever.

My experience with The Occasions at Stone River has been so amazing! Our wedding isn't even until June 2018 and we are so excited ! This whole process they have been super helpful and the nicest people! Before we started wedding planning everyone had us thinking this was going to be stressful and pretty hard to do. I am here to tell you that they were wrong! Every worry we had they took off our shoulders. This is a one stop shop and everything is reasonable pricing. Me and my fiancé don't make a lot but with the payment plan, they have taken something else we were stressing about and fixed it! They take payments over the phone which is another thing that has been extremely helpful since we live 45 minutes from there. We are from the country so this spot is absolutely perfect for us. Is not in the middle of the city. But not so far away from town that you don't want to make the drive. You park in one parking lot, attend the ceremony and reception and don't have to drive to another building. It's all in one place. The view inbetween the two buildings is breath taking. Beautiful flowers everywhere, a pond with a few swans, and the trees and grass are so green! When you are outside all you see is beautiful scenery. They cook, decorate, clean up when it's over , video the ceremony and reception , take pictures of the ceremony and reception, and they have a awesome DJ!! I highly recommend this place for any occasion you are planning.

Apparently, I didn't "post" my previous review. My deepest apologies to Occasions. My daughter's wedding was FLAWLESS! When they say "all inclusive", that is exactly what they mean. Angela was amazing from day one of planning to the second we were walking out at the end of the reception. And Peter, the dj/master of ceremonies made this the smoothest running wedding & reception I have ever seen. Keeping the flow was obviously his top priority. Our guests NEVER had to wonder was next. There was NO downtime. Our guests were never bored. Nine months later, we are still receiving compliments on that wedding. And by no means l, did we spend too much. I have seen weddings that cost double what we paid and were far less impressive. Thank you Angela & Peter for everything you did. You gave us parents peace of mind on what can easily be a chaotic day. Our family and friends will never forget that special, fun day. Keep doing what you're doing!! God bless you. 💜

Daughter had her wedding at The Springs Poetry Hall venue near Rockwall in June, 2017. Occasions at Stone River handled the table decorations and the food. The decorations were beautiful and the fajita buffet was delicious! Many guests said that was the best food ever had at a wedding. Clean up was very efficient and they were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Angela was awesome!! This place was great. Everyone helped. The food was fresh and hot and decorations were great!!

We got married on June 10th at 11 a.m. Our wedding was FLAWLESS! I am not one to brag, but seriously, it was flawless. This venue means it when they say they are all-inclusive. I did not have to worry about a single thing. They made the planning process too easy. I cannot rave about them enough! They made my husband and I feel so special all day long and throughout the planning process as well. The decor, service, and food was amazing! This is such a beautiful and memorable place to get married and we are very happy we chose them. If you are looking for a stress-free, all-inclusive, fun place to celebrate, check this place out! They are very affordable and have so many custom options to make your dream come true, without losing sleep over it. Angela was our coordinator and was so helpful with everything! Peter was our DJ and kept our dance floor full all day. I didn't know what to expect with a daytime wedding, but it was so perfect!

Me and my husband were three months away from our wedding date and we still didn't have a venue. We needed to book quickly. We heard about Occasions at Stone River and what we loved about them initially was that they were an all inclusive venue. They had everything we needed: decor, catering, coordinator, photographer, DJ, etc. As the bride, I have to say that definitely took the stress is wedding planing off of me. The staff was super friendly and they start working just as soon as we booked! Now that our wedding day was about three weeks ago, I have guests that still talk about our special day and how everyone had a great time and also complimented the venue and the food! Special thanks to Johnny, the owner, he answered all of our questions prior to booking. Angela, the coordinator and photographer, was so sweet, and took the time to listen to me and made my wedding dream a reality, and the pictures turned out beautiful! April was also great and patient with me asking so many questions up to re wedding day! The DJ Peter has a lot of experience and he was great to work with as well. He has a great personality and be made the music selection for the ceremony and reception super easy! He also listened to what we wanted and made some great suggestions and additions to the reception! And thank you to the staff for making our wedding day beautiful!
