About this vendor

This centrally located historic Ann Arbor landmark mansion was constructed in 1917 of hand-hewn quarried granite in the Swiss Chalet style. The Stone Chalet Bed & Breakfast and Event Center is sure to impress guests young and old alike. Ivy covered exterior walls and ample indoor natural light sources make for picturesque wedding day photo opportunities. With a massive facade reminiscent of another era and probably the only Swiss Chalet-style house in Ann Arbor, it offers prospective couples numerous ceremony and reception possibilities. The estate looks like it came out of a Swiss chalet in the Alps and is especially stunning in the evening with the carefully crafted exterior floodlighting, Past the wide front terrace is a home of gracious proportions. Steel casement windows lend natural light into rooms with oak floors, high ceilings, grand moldings, and distinctive granite blocks on the inside. The natural light floods the gorgeous bridal suite, a perfect setting for makeup and hair artists. French doors open to a three-season room in the west wing with the distinctive stonewall along one side and décor reminiscent of Belle and the Beast. With an elegant and charming ambiance, the venue easily compliments a variety of themes, creating a sense of sophistication for every couple’s wedding. From intimate events in the formal dining room or basement tavern, to larger events up to 100 guests, we can cater to each couple’s needs. With a focus on high standards of customer service, we carefully attend to each detail with thought and precision. For spring, summer and fall weddings we have 2 lovely outdoor options, our Singing Frog Pond with rose covered archway or our gazebo and covered pergola setting.

We are so glad we chose the Stone Chalet / Enchanted Inn for our wedding ceremony and reception. The venue was perfect for our wedding and Daisy was pleasant and wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. The day of, she was creative, available, and flexible, and helped to make our wedding day both relaxed and special. The space itself was beautiful and renting out the entire venue allowed us to have a wonderful weekend with our family. Daisy & the staff were also great hosts as we and our immediate family stayed there the night before and the day of the wedding. We're very grateful!

I blown away at how amazing our wedding was at The Stone Chalet B&B. It took months of research to find a venue that fit everything that we were looking for. After meeting Daisy, touring the venue and rooms, we knew we found the perfect place for our intimate wedding. It was so much fun to have our wedding party and family stay on site with us. The themed rooms were very fun and creative. All of our friends and family loved their stay here. Also, the breakfast was above and beyond. The options, for all diets, were delicious and honestly the best complimentary breakfast that I've ever had a hotel/B&B. The venue itself was amazing too. We got married at the garden gazebo and rented out the grand ballroom for the reception. It fit our intimate wedding of 50 perfectly. Additionally, Daisy and Vincent were a pleasure to work with. Daisy, who has a heart of gold, was my coordinator and helped with the reception décor. She made the whole experience so fun and easy by guiding us the whole way. Everything about our wedding day and stay was perfect. She helped curate the experience and feeling that we were trying to create. We could not be more grateful! If we had to do it all over again, we would not change a single thing. We will definitely be back as guests in the future! Thank you for everything!

Daisy and Vincent are fantastic! We just had our wedding at the Stone Chalet on Saturday and we are very happy with our venue choice. It's a beautiful place with tons of charm. We also had our welcome dinner Friday night. So, our whole wedding relied on them and they really came through. Daisy and Vincent both went above and beyond to help make us and our guests happy. With so much going on we noticed how Daisy made sure everything went smoothly which she didn't have to do. So her approach to customer service was phenomenal. She was crtical at several points in creating our vision and getting everything in place. Vincent was also doing anything he could to support us and we really appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and hard work. If you are looking for great wedding venue you shouldn't think twice about reaching out to the Stone Chalet. Thank you so much for making our day so successful.

We had our wedding reception here and can't say enough good things about this place. The owners really went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was happy, and when some unexpected things came up they handled it exceptionally well. The staff were all extremely kind and accommodating. Each room was beautifully decorated with a different theme and extremely comfortable. The exterior of the building is beautiful as well. Breakfasts were delicious, and they even had vegan options ready to go. Every single one of our guests raved about how impressed they were with their stay here. We'll definitely be coming back!

We recently had our intimate wedding of 20 guests in October at Stone Chalet. It was a prefect experience! The Inn is charming and unique, and was a wonderful place to host a wedding. We had our ceremony outside in the gazebo (perfect fall weather!), cocktails/toasts outside, and dinner in the formal dining room. Daisy and Vincent were great to work with helped make our day special. Some of our guests stayed overnight, as well, and enjoyed their stay. All of our guests had a great evening and complimented the Inn and our choice of venue!

We were starting to worry about finding a venue in our town, after finding out two big events were happening the same weekend. I got in touch with Lana (the owner) and found the Stone Chalet event room was available. We had a small dinner reception and loved the open room, the wood paneling and flooring and the beautiful big windows. The house and grounds are beautiful (great backdrop for photos) and the inn keepers, Andrea and Mike, were friendly and helpful and responsive and worked seamlessly with our caterer. It turned out to be the perfect setting for our intimate gathering with friends and family and plenty of room to dance and mingle. We were so happy to have found this gem of a place.

My husband and I got married at the Stone Chalet in June 2019 and everything was so wonderful. The staff was great to work with from the beginning. We planned all of the food, bar, details, etc. as it is mainly just a venue but we had our ceremony outside and wedding inside the reception hall. This place has so much charm and it is simply a beautiful place to get married in Ann Arbor. I did a lot of venue searching and for me this is was the place we both fell in love with. Photos were also amazing as the character of this venue is so unique!
