Stone Manor Country Club

Stone Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Simply put, the beauty of Stone Manor and the grounds surrounding it, are unparalleled; everything from the luscious greenery, to the rolling hills, and unforgettable sunsets (think closing scene in Gone with the Wind!) are breath-taking and will leave your guests in awe. Furthermore, the layout and beauty of the Stone Manor property is every couple’s and photographer’s dream; there is so much to explore and so many opportunities for beautiful, unique, intimate photos that you will not be disappointed. The Manor house also requires honorable mention, as it is a historic gem in and of itself. Both the bridal party and groomsmen will feel extra special getting ready in the large rooms that come pre-equipped with lovely, antique décor. The ballroom and surrounding terrace also speak for themselves, and are expertly designed to facilitate continuous flow, movement, and conversation amongst the guests. Also of note, due to the design of the ballroom, there’s not a bad seat in the house. All the guests will have a clear view of the dance floor for all of those special reception events (i.e. toasts, dances, etc.). Carriage House Inn is the in house caterer, and our food was excellent. We had 5 different main courses (hand crafted by their award winning head Chef!), and all received rave reviews from the guests. Lastly, but arguably one of the most important aspects of Stone Manor, is their management team, Brian and Lori. Brian and Lori have a diverse breadth of experience in the event planning and management industry, and it shows throughout the planning and execution process. Brian and Lori were pros and professionals from the start. Whenever we had questions, they were highly responsive, and always ensured we had the right answers to continue with our planning process. Furthermore, on the day of the event, while we opted to hire our own wedding coordinator, they went above and beyond to make sure our day was extra special and that everything ran according to planned. (One additional note to consider for a prospective bride and groom: Running and managing a business that doubles as a B&B and wedding venue, requires precision and attention to detail. While it may seem like there are a lot of rules at Stone Manor, when you consider this element, it makes all the more sense.) Brian and Lori do an outstanding job, and together they made our day a beautiful, memorable experience. We couldn’t have been happier, and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a classy, romantic, and elegant affair!

We absolutely loved our wedding here at Stone Manor! The venue is so beautiful and elegant. Brian was great to work with. He has been in the business for a while and understands what and how things need to be run. He was extremely helpful throughout the wedding day. We had to do our ceremony indoors but it was still exactly how we pictured it. We were lucky to have cocktail hour and the rest of the night to enjoy the outdoor property. The food from the Carriage House is also very delicious. I highly recommend this venue!

The pandemic proved to be a challenging time for everyone, let alone a couple trying to plan a wedding. Brian and Loree did a great job accommodating where they could with our November wedding. The day of ran smoother than I could have hoped, Brian really knows what he's doing when working with other vendors. We were still able to move forward with around 100 guests and make the best of our big day. The venue itself is beautiful as well and we are so glad we chose it.

I’d like to think that people show their true colors during tough times. And this pandemic has done nothing short. Stone manor is beautiful. Stunning property with endless possibilities on ceremony & reception. We signed our contract March of 2019. Wedding date being October 16, 2020. No one anticipated a global pandemic to occur. Starting in May, we requested to have our date available for a summer bride who had to reschedule due to the shutdown in return postpone to a 2021 date. They said no, it was too soon to discuss. So we waited till end of June to request a 2021 date. Once again, they said no. Soon later, the governor started to open phases and that ended any possibility we had to post pone. We even offered to have a winter date so we wouldn’t take a prime wedding season date. After months of pleading for a new date to keep our guests safe, we finally requested for a full refund. They never budged. Instead, their lawyer stated how much money they’ve lost bc of this pandemic. Which is confusing to me considering they are NOT refunding any money. Do your research. Read reviews. Ask in FB group pages for people’s experience. I recommend not working with people who are fast to treat others horribly during a global pandemic. I’ve spoken with other coordinators and vendors, and everyone seems to have been very accommodating during these tough times.

Stone Manor Country Club is a beautiful looking facility but is managed by Brian and Loree Childs, who are arrogant and difficult to work with. The owners of Stone Manor, Amie and John St. Angelo, do not want to communicate with anyone directly, therefore, do not expect to be able to talk to them about problems or issues. You need to go through Brian and wait for a response. We had a wedding scheduled for September 6, 2020. As soon as Covid-19 started getting bad in April, we requested simply that our date be moved to 2021. Honoring this simple request would have made our situation so easy and avoided the stress which followed. We were told that the venue would hold to guidance provided by the State of MD and Frederick County. If the government said the venue could be open, even at limited capacity, then we would be held to our September date. As Covid-19 got worse and even more unpredictable, the venue told us again and again that they would continue to hold to state and county guidelines or forfeit our money. When we got to July they finally indicated that they would give us a decision on moving our date when we got to the 45 day mark before the wedding. They would not consider a refund of any kind and insisted on holding our Sept date. When the 45 day mark arrived, they finally offered to move our date to 2021. We even requested that they allow another wedding couple to assume our September contract date so that we could move ours to 2021. This would have accommodated another couple and given us our funds back to apply to our future wedding date. They said no to that request also. If you have been planning your wedding, you know that 45 days before a wedding date is not when you want to be making decisions. This whole frustrating encounter with Stone Manor soured our interest in even working with them. They have been unaccommodating, difficult to communicate with and totally out of touch with how this pandemic has impacted wedding couples. Their sole interest seemed to be preserving their short term financial interest by keeping whatever deposits they already had and they did not consider the long run damaging impact to their reputation. We ultimately chose to go somewhere else since they made it clear that they were not going to refund any of our $7000. There are many other couples posting similar experiences with Stone Manor. They have been very short sighted. We have told all the people we know, never to consider this facility and to spread the word. This total lack of compassion will impact their marketing greatly down the road. Don’t be influenced by the beauty of the facility, because it is the management that you need to work with to make your day special. Stone Manor will make planning for your special event a nightmare.

KEPT OUR MONEY - DIDN'T HOST EVENT Due to Governor Hogan's Covid restrictions, Stone Manor was not allowed to host our 120 person wedding. Despite their inability to host, they refused to refund money. We had to sue to get our $4,800 back! ALL of the other vendors returned our money, but not Stone Manor. Take your important event and money elsewhere!

We just had our wedding here on March 14th with about 150 people, and I have been so excited to give them a review because seriously the day could not have gone better thanks to Brian, Loree, Jeanne, and the rest of the staff. Stone Manor was the first venue that I had looked at and knew right away that we would be having our wedding there. Its absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The property itself was just perfect for pictures, and the ball room was brand new, spacious and comfortable for everyone. The planning process with Stone Manor was super easy and an added bonus was that we were able to hire our own vendor for alcohol which was great in order to keep costs down. You do have to use their caterer Carriage House Catering. Every single person I talked to at the wedding raved about the food and Jeanne was so awesome to work with. They have a really communicative team of people at this venue and I couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else!!

Absolutely wonderful!!! Brian & Loree were very knowledgeable and organized. I loved that they were so planned out and kept everything rolling during my wedding day without a hitch. The venue itself you have to see in person it’s well manicured and gorgeous. They just build a ballroom which was perfect for our summer wedding! Everyone loved being able to go outside and play corn hole or go inside and dance. *One plus is Uber’s do come to the locations so we didn’t need to have a transportation system for guest getting home. Can’t say enough good things about it!

Stone Manor Country Club exceeded all expectations! We originally booked the venue prior to the new ballroom and was notified that the tented reception is no longer an option. Unsure about the the ballroom, we decided to continue with the change. So glad that we did! The added patio is great for cocktail hour and a space for guests to hangout during the reception. We were so lucky to have the roses in full bloom during our wedding which made for great pictures. The venue owners, Brian and Loree were so great to work with while planning. The new ballroom and mezzanine were amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day. For all who are planning for a wedding, don't miss out on this amazing venue.

Stone Manor Country Club offers endless possibilities for a truly enchanting wedding. I went to visit this property in the middle of January and it sparkled with all kinds of possibility that I could imagine for a late summer event. My point of contact Loree was an excellent communicator and always kind. I met Brian, the wedding coordinator, whose enthusiasm, knowledge, and professionalism seems unmatched compared to other coordinators in the industry. I was sure that this was my venue, however, the location is about 3 hours away from most of our family and in order to accommodate some family members that have physical limitations we had to change the location last minute to be closer to our home. I was presented the most perfect wedding vision and I could see all the details coming together-- I'm definitely disappointed that I could not get married here especially because Brian's energy and zest for detail is a quality I definitely wanted to partner with in my wedding planning process. I highly recommend having your wedding here-- it will be a timeless, beautiful day in a lovely indoor/outdoor setting.

Stone Manor is a perfect combination outdoor ceremony and reception site, close enough to DC to be convenient, but far enough away to feel private and remote. The Manor is lovely, with ready rooms for both bridal parties, and beautiful furnishings for great photo set ups indoors. The grounds outside are also exceptional, with three ceremony options and lovely landscaping. Abundant parking, nice restrooms, and the tent is a wonderful space. Responses from the managers were always prompt and accommodating. The exclusive caterer is sometimes difficult to reach, but the meals selections are well priced, you bring your own alcohol, and there’s no cake cutting fee. The plating for our seated meals was impeccable. Your dollars go really far with Stone Manor- the value can’t be beat!

My husband and I had our wedding at Stone Manor Country Club this past Sunday. Everything was perfect! The venue is beautiful! The owners are very friendly and were with us every step of the way. We wouldn't have wanted to have our special day anywhere else! - Mr. and Mrs. Adams

This review is by the mother of the bride. For engaged couples and parents experiencing the excitement and stress of finding the perfect place for their very special day, you would be very happy to find Stone Manor Country Club. If you want a venue that is elegant, private, and with excellent personal attention from the ownership team, this is your place. I never thought it would be possible to have a low-stress large wedding for my only daughter, but Stone Manor Country Club made it happen. Many thanks for helping make memories for a lifetime!

As soon as we drove up Stone Manor's driveway, we knew that it was the venue we wanted to have our special day at. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful and as soon as you walk around the property, you sense the beauty, peace, and serenity that it holds. Both the interior and exterior of the house are lovely and having the bridal and groomsmen rooms for preparation was great. Unfortunately, you aren't able to access the house until 12pm, which meant we were not able to fully get ready at the venue, however we were able to easily complete hair & makeup at a nearby hotel and then get dressed at the venue. Brian and Loree were great to work with! You can tell that Brian has many years of experience and truly loves the venue - so he'll go above and beyond to make sure that everything is taken care of for you. They were always so responsive with my many emails and were willing to help in anyway that they could. What really drew us to Stone Manor was the beauty of the house and property. Because it's nestled back in the country, it really feels like you have all the privacy that you may want to celebrate with your friends and family. The size of the property allows you to have plenty of opportunities for lovely photos. Our photographer had already scoped out spots before we arrived, but you can have backdrops with the house, pond, fields, and vineyards - just beautiful views everywhere. And because the property has so much natural beauty, you really don't need many decorations, which was a plus as well. All in all, Stone Manor was all that we had dreamed of for our wedding day with it's absolute beauty. We had countless guests letting us know how much they loved the venue and having our family stay in the manor house after our wedding was a special treat as well!

We booked Stone Manor for our wedding next year because we loved the ambiance and idea of an outdoor wedding. At the time, I asked the event coordinators if any large-scale renovations were planned for the property, and was told no. Less than a month after signing the contract, I was informed - via email - that "after years of contemplation and planning" the ownership of Stone Manor was getting rid of the outdoor reception tent and building a large ballroom on the property. I sincerely appreciate that the venue gave us back our deposit in full, but definitely felt like I was intentionally misled. The ownership was not at all helpful in providing details of the build (i.e., what their contingency plan would be in the event construction was delayed), which was a large factor in our decision to pull-out. I'm truly saddened because we had fallen in love with this venue (not to mention had to change several contracts with other vendors we hired after signing the venue contract. THANKFULLY, they didn't charge us for changing.) I think that Brian and Loree would have done a wonderful job as coordinators had we still had our wedding at Stone Manor, but ultimately we felt like we couldn't trust the situation. So just be advised, that Stone Manor is no longer an outdoor reception venue because they are getting rid of the tent; they only have the ballroom option available for the 2019 wedding season.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stone Manor! We fell in love with this venue as soon as we drove down the driveway, and I am so glad we decided to get married here. The mansion and the scenery are absolutely stunning (pictures don't do it justice!). The staff was very responsive to my questions and extremely accommodating. Brian has a take-charge attitude that really put us at ease the day of our wedding -- he kept everyone organized and made sure the events were on schedule. I would highly recommend Stone Manor to anyone who is looking for a picturesque outdoor wedding!

I don’t even know where to begin. If you tour this venue to see if you’d like to get married there before you leave you will most likely book your wedding. Brian is great he is super down to earth and willing to help you all night to make your day run smoothly! Like I said just go to the venue and you will understand!

We were extremely happy with our wedding at Stone Manor Country Club. Brian and Loree helped us every step of the way and always took the time to answer our questions. It was nice being able to get ready at the venue, and there are lots of places to take great pictures. The tent itself is cozy, you can definitely make it your own. Our guests felt very comfortable and we received lots of compliments on the venue. We would definitely recommend to have your wedding at this location!

The staff at Stone Manor Country Club was wonderful and extremely helpful leading up to and during my wedding on October 14. Brian and Loree took so much stress off of my now husband and I, it was incredible. Every question we had they helped us find a solution. I would highly reccomend this venue! When I was hearing stories from others about the craziness of their wedding day I was definitely worried but Brian was there the entire time and made sure our day was nothing but perfect! Thank you Brian and Loree for taking part in the most important day of our lives.

Stone Manor was absolutely breathtaking. I originally booked this venue because of how gorgeous the outside setting was, but it rained on my wedding day. Even with the rain my pictures were amazing and my guests had a blast. SO much fun and beautiful! Brian is a hoot to work with too!

Love this venue. They were amazing and made my day perfect.

Stone Manor is stunningly beautiful. The Manor house itself is charming, spacious and inviting. Brian, Loree and Brooke are experienced professionals who will take care of everything. You do not need to worry about anything on your big day. I am the mother of the bride who planned the entire wedding in 2 months since my daughter lives in California and is in medical school, so she was unable to plan any of it. The day of the wedding was relaxed and enjoyable for everyone including me, mother of the groom, wedding party, the bride and groom. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Brian, Loree and Brooke! You helped make our big day picture perfect.

Personally, it was a waste of time touring this venue. We let them know of the time frame we wanted to have a wedding during pre-tour communications. Half way during the tour, which felt quite rushed, he informed us he had no dates available. He asked about other places we had toured and directly told us that we should go there instead. He then proceeded to degrade the other places we had seen. This man obviously wasn't interested in booking our wedding so he clearly wasted our time and his. This place was nothing out of the ordinary. It's quite easy to be a wedding facility when you just throw a big tent up. Boom, instant wedding venue.

We are so happy to have booked our wedding at stone manor. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and your truly have free reign of the property to take photos. We are a really relaxed couple and stone manor really allowed us to use the property in a way that embodied our attitudes. Brian and Lorree were flexible to work with. We rented all of the bedrooms as well for our immediate families which was so great to be able to still hang out with our families and not have to worry about going elsewhere or getting home. Brooke and Zach were also amazing innkeepers and made us a delicious breakfast and allowed us to get settled in early. No regrets.

This location is picture perfect!! Everyone was wonderful to work with, and Brian is awesome! I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for an elegant, chic, vintage inspired outdoor wedding venue.

My husband and I decided to have both our ceremony and reception at Stone Manor on October 02, 2016 and we're still so happy with our venue choice! The venue itself is super gorgeous year round and since the venue ground is decorated beautifully, we didn't have to worry about too many details when it came to decorating our wedding! Another benefit was that there were so many backdrops for our photographers to work with -we enjoyed running around the venue to capture unique shots. We had photos in the different rooms inside the inn, field shots, "barn-inspired" backgrounds, and even inside the woods! We received so many compliments from our guests. We worked mainly with Brian and can't thank him enough for how lovely our wedding turned out! His enthusiasm can't be beat and his attentiveness to every single detail of our big day was amazing. Like every other bride, I was extremely worried when it came down to the weather since it was projected to rain on the day of our wedding. However, Brian was so kind and patient when walking us through the alternative back-up plans and assured us that everything will turn out great. Now I'm not sure if Brian had something up his sleeve, but the weather forecast was COMPLETELY off! He told us that everything will turn out perfect and 3 hours before the ceremony, the clouds cleared the sky and we ended up with a magically warm fall weather without a rain drop in sight! As a bride with a history of fainting...I was extremely nervous with making sure everything was in order and of course walking down the aisle! Brian kept me on my toes and made sure everything went smoothly and according to the timeline. His sense of humor and assurance also allowed me to ease up on my stress since he basically took care of everything! And, I didn't faint.. ;) Seriously we can't thank Stone Manor enough for making the most stressful & important day of our life perfect! They definitely exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend this venue!

I don’t know where to begin; Stone Manor Country Club was the most beautiful location for our wedding. I knew the moment that I viewed this location it was the place I wanted to marry my husband. I do not regret choosing Stone Manor, it was the best decision I made for our wedding and I will have such wonderful memories of the place and all their staff… At first I was a little hesitant reading some of the not so fabulous reviews but honestly those reviews were not fair to Stone Manor or to Brian! Stone Manor has such great space with a beautiful house/ B&B, tons of open land and a beautiful tent that fits over 250 people! Perfect for my 200 guest. There is a beautiful pond in front of the Manor and so much greenery and serenity everywhere you turn. There is also a patio located in the back of the Manor, where we had our cocktail hour and a barn to take great pictures with your wedding party. We had our ceremony outdoors in the back of the Manor under the long pergola. In side of the house we had our guestbook and escort card set up. Everything looked perfect! The Inn keepers are husband and wife and they are the kindest couple I have ever met. My husband and I stayed in the most romantic suite at the B&B, The Laurel Suite. The morning after the wedding they cooked us a wonderful breakfast and made us feel so welcomed. The day of the wedding I asked if I could check into my room before 3pm and they had no problem giving us our room right away. Brian and Lauri run the show, how they deal with Brides and Grooms on a daily basis, I have no idea because we are tons of work! We arrived with our wedding party around noon and 30 mins into us being at the location we had our first major incident! My soon to be husband and his best man were caring our Welcome Sign, which was made out of glass, they ended up dropping the glass frame on my then fiancé’s ankle and cutting his ankle pretty bad! So bad that he needed stitches! Yes this happened about two and half hours before the wedding! Anyway, Brian handled the situation so smoothly and was such great help. My fiancé did end up going to the hospital for stitches but Brain and the paramedics had him back at the wedding on time! Brian was so attentive and so kind, making sure my soon to be husband had a sandwich before he walked down the aisle. He checked up on me frequently to make sure I had not freaked out about the situation but with all of his help, I felt in good hands. During the ceremony Brian and Lauri kept everyone in order and made sure we all knew where we were going. I do not know what we would have done without them! During the reception he engaged in conversation with our guest. He made sure everyone knew where they needed to go and made everyone feel welcomed! Brian and Lauri are truly angels and if it weren't for all their help and the Inn keepers’ help I don’t think anything would have gone as beautifully and smoothly as it did. Thank you Brian and Lauri! Stone Manor exceeded all of our expectations, we are beyond grateful!

This venue is amazing!! Brian is so great to work with, I had no worries! Lori was so great to answer any questions I had during planning. We couldn't have picked a better location to have our wedding! We heard several times throughout the night how much our guests loved the venue and people are still talking about it!! Everything was perfect!

We held my daughters wedding at Stone Manor last Sunday and I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was. Stone Manor is an absolutely gorgeous place to have a wedding. We had so many of the guest comment on how beautiful everything was. Everything about the wedding was perfect and that was largely due to the staff at Stone Manor. Everyone was very helpful, every time I had a question, concern, or request I received a response back from Brian or Loree very quickly and they were always very helpful in their response. The day of the wedding everything ran very smoothly and on time. Brian was always right there to make sure everything was running on schedule, to accommodate any last minute requests, help answer questions, give a hug to a frazzled Mother of the bride, and even assist the groomsmen with their boutonnieres (because the had no clue how to put them on) If you want to have a perfect and smooth sailing wedding, you better have Brian there!!! One of my guest ask "can you rent him out to other places (she lives in Ohio)" Even the personnel touch of him walking around talking to the guest and making them feel welcome is above and beyond. We could not have ask for a more perfect wedding and I truly believe that having it at Stone Manor was a huge part in it being so perfect!! I would highly recommend Stone Manor for anyone who wants a wonderful, beautiful, well organized wedding.

Beautiful, picturesque property for weddings, but if you're considering this venue, we would advise you to go elsewhere. Held our daughter's wedding here in October, 2014. Brian, their manager, romances you into booking with Stone Manor. Once we were signed and fully paid our bill, however, we were tossed aside. We decided to opt out of Stone Manor's only preferred caterer (tasting was terrible!!), and chose to bring in our own which by the way adds $500.00 to your bill and your caterer is not allowed to use the mansion's kitchen. Your caterer also has to take all the trash off the grounds with them when they leave the premises. We learned at the 11th hour that heating is not provided in the tent. That's an additional cost as well. On the morning of the wedding day, only 10 tables (we requested 30) were set up in the tent. Brian told us it was our caterer's responsibility to bring tables?? The groomsmen found tables in a nearby garage and set them up in the tent for us. We were never informed that the tables would not be set up! Brian then got into an argument with our photographer over umbrellas. Apparently there were enough to cover the bridal party, but none could be loaned to photographer or videographer. There were only 4 attendants on each side. What if there had been 10? Would there then be enough umbrellas for everyone if needed? Brian conceded, but the argument didn't have to happen. He did help by making sure staff set up chairs for either an inside or an outside wedding as it was a drizzly day. Prior to the ceremony, guests were transported via shuttles and had no idea where to go once they arrived. There were no parking attendants in the lot - we were contracted for 2. There were also no hostesses present in the mansion until the wedding party was lining up to begin the ceremony. Again, we were contracted for 2. We were forced to ask family members to act as hosts and hostesses for guests while we attended to the bride. Guests staying in the B&B are not restricted to areas where they are able to move about while weddings are taking place on the grounds. Our family photograph of 40 people was interrupted in order to ask B&B guests to move out of the background of the photo. Brian is very inflexible and can be rude when addressing questions. It's not necessarily what he says, it's how he says it. Rather than having an "I've been doing this for years, how can I help you?" approach, he has a "my way or the highway" approach. We are probably the most flexible family he's had to deal with and this could have turned out so much better if there had been just a little bit of flexibility. Our son was married 7 months prior at a venue in Baltimore (The Mansion at Valley Country Club). It was an impeccable venue and the staff flexible, professional and eager to serve the bride and groom and their families in comparison. There is so much competition for venues out there. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!

I got married at Stone Manor 2 weeks ago. First, let me say, the venue is beautiful. My ceremony was outside under a pergola and reception inside the standing tent on the property which was beautiful and held our 240 guests. Our guests are still staying how beautiful the venue was and thankfully it didn't rain, so everything was outside just like I wanted. I absolutely LOVED the look of my wedding!!! My gripe with this venue is the service, flexibility and the rules! While it is great to be able to bring your own alcohol, there are a lot of hidden fees and rules. Basically, there are extra costs for using your own caterer, having over $50 guests, using their heaters in the tent, adding an extra hour, not getting out one hour after the end of the wedding...so while the venue seems like a good price, this is only if you don't do any of these things. And they are strict about it. Also, while Brian was helpful in answering questions, it seems he was annoyed any time I asked him anything. And when the answer to something was "no you cannot do that", he said it in a pretty hostile way. I did a lot of things my own way (used a different caterer then they recommend, brought in wooden tables for the reception) and Brian did not seem pleased with much of it. Even though there was no event the day before our wedding, they wouldn't let any vendors drop off anything that day. They require TWO insurance forms from each vendor, so some of my vendors ended up charging ME for this - to get the extra one. It's ridiculous!!! On my wedding day, the tent was full of round tables that we were not using and I (the bride!) had to run around to ask Brian to remove them. My sister said she asked him first but he wouldn't move them. This is NOT something the bride should worry about on her wedding day. It should have been taken care of! Also, the pergola was covered in mud and my dad had to run around to find Brian to ask him to clean it. Again, NOT something we should be stressed about on the day of the wedding. We paid a LOT of money to rent the venue and this should have been taken are of in advance, not two hours before the ceremony. A note on the noise level - Stone Manor has a VERY STRICT noise decibel restriction. Do not expect your music to be very loud because Brian will march into your wedding with a meter and show your DJ - who will be forced to turn the noise down. Just be aware of this in advance!! Also, they stress you out a lot about being out of the venue exactly one hour after or you lose your security deposit. This is really stressful actually. I didn't think it would be but by the time everyone says bye and leaves the tent, you have maybe 40 minutes to get out and feel if you go a minute over, they will be there to snatch up your money. Again, I LOVED my wedding and loved the venue. It's gorgeous. But be prepared to deal with lots of rules and not much flexibility.

When searching for wedding venues, we knew that Stone Manor was exactly what we were looking for once seeing a few photos online. After visiting, it confirmed even more that the beautiful picturesque location was for us. It is set back away from busy roads and noise and truly exudes country elegance when you step foot on the property. Brian and Loree were so accommodating throughout the whole process, gave very thorough explanations about the venue, and were quick to respond to all emails and phone calls. Brian even helped me modify the groomsmen attire that day (rolling sleeves vs. not) after showing me a picture of similar wedding attire in a DC magazine. He is really on top of everything and helps keep the bride calm. He is very good at what he does. Our wedding occurred on a beautiful (and unusually cool) July day where there were thunderstorms possible in the area throughout the day. Brian was on top of the weather forecasts and even started moving us down for the ceremony a few minutes early so that we could beat the two storms that were coming our way. He helped organize everyone and takes that pressure off of the bride. If anyone gets out of line he would definitely be there to control the situation. We were married in front of the tent, facing the manor and it could not have been more beautiful. It was such an intimate wedding ceremony with the scenery that I had always imagined. Luckily the rain held off and we were able to get gorgeous outdoor pictures as well. The cocktail hour was moved inside the tent because of the chance of rain, but the guests spilled out into the lawn and were still able to enjoy the gorgeous scenery and day. The reception in the tent is so unique and elegant without the formal ballroom feel. Before the wedding, getting ready inside the manor is so perfect! It is beautiful, roomy, and so exciting to be able to see guests arriving and things being set-up throughout the day. My husband and I decided to stay in the gardenia suite that night and it was absolutely perfect! It also made for a pretty stress free day as you only had to worry about getting all of the stuff to one location and leaving it there until morning. The entire day was amazing and I truly felt like a princess. We had so many wedding guests tell us that this was the best wedding venue that they have been to and compliment us on how unique and gorgeous it was. We could not have asked for a more perfect staff or wedding venue! The only tiny complaint that we did have was the fact that we did have to pay $100 extra for fans. That is definitely something that could be included in the wedding venue fee for ease and the fact that the venue is already well priced. Very, very, very happy overall!

Our wedding was beautiful at Stone Manor! The property is amazing, everything is kept very pristine, perfect for pictures! Brian and his staff were very helpful! Everyone was very accommodating and efficient. We couldn't have picked a better venue!

Brian was so incredibly helpful with the wedding and he made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. He is so nice and really lets you know that everything is going to be wonderful!

Everyone at Stone Manor was great! Extremely responsive, very understanding and great to work with! The site was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing place to have my dream wedding!

The manor grounds are beyond gorgeous, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Brian and his wife are a dream to work with. They made myself and my wedding party feel at ease and they helped us tremendously with everything. I would choose this place a million times over any other venue around!,

Stone Manor was the only venue my fiancee and I wanted. When we originally called, there were no more dates available in 2012, so we were going to wait until later to get married. They had a cancellation and gave us a call first thing, and we are so happy that we were able to get married there this past weekend. The innkeepers are the most lovely people!! Brian and Lori were also great and made everything happen smoothly. Much love to them!!

From the beginning, Brian and Loree were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. Brian was willing to offer helpful wedding planning suggestions from the first day we toured the grounds. The day of the wedding, Brian was very responsive to our last minute questions, particularly about how to go about setting up our candy bar. The Bridal Suite is absolutely gorgeous! Stone Manor is a beautiful venue and the tent is literally like an outdoor ballroom. Unfortunately, due to the heat on the day of our wedding, not everyone got to take in the beauty of the grounds because we ended up moving the cocktail hour inside the tent, but everyone was grateful for this decision because we had rented air conditioning units for the tent, which made the tent the perfect temperature (even with the 100 degree temperature outside). During our reception, a huge storm came through the area. Brian was extremely professional and looked out for the safety of all our guests during this unexpected event. Although the wind was blowing extremely hard, we did not need to evacuate the tent, however Brian made sure that we remained calm during everything. The storm eventually passed and the party continued! Everyone had an amazing time at our wedding, regardless of the unexpected drama with the weather!! We would highly recommend Stone Manor to anyone!

Who could imagine a July 22 wedding being mild (comparatively), sunny, and thoroughly enjoyable in an outdoor venue with the reception in a beautiful party tent? We did! Brian and Lori, the people that run the Stone Manor Inn were professional, friendly, well accustomed to bringing together a wedding for a novice family. They showed us the beautiful venue, the inside of the manor, the different photographic areas (which are EVERYWHERE), the party tent, and the area outside where most people get married. Brian was well skilled in explaining the process of a wedding, sent us lots of help with caterers, flowers, bartending, cakes - the whole 9 yards. We were on a budget and he was able to help us stay within it. Brian and Lori made us feel like family and were always open to talk and answer questions, no matter how big or small. Brian had great advice and because I took it, I was able to enjoy a wonderful evening. The wedding was beautiful, the decor elegant and the feel of the evening quite sophisticated. We so appreciate all that Brian and Lori did to make the big day for our son a huge success.

stone manor was a BEAUTIFUL setting for our wedding reception. Brian in the begining was very kind and attentive-he made me feel very special and seemed very organized. His attitude did change after the wedding was over, he was a little rude to mother when she called and asked him about our things that was left behind at the venue.

We are still hearing about how everyone loved our wedding, describing it as perfect, romantic, and the best wedding they have ever been too. The grounds are so beautiful. There is not much décor that is needed because the grounds are naturally beautiful. There are so many options for picture opportunities. They have a vineyard, barn, and a lake. Having all these options gave us very beautiful and memorable pictures. We had a big wedding party so there was room for everyone to get ready at the same location. Brian and Loree, the owners, were so patient and helpful along the way and the day of. So much so that a wedding planner for the day of is not needed, since they handled all of that. They took care of everything and worked so well with the other venders that I did not have to stress about it. There are so many other things to stress about that it made it so much more memorable to have them handle it while I and my husband just enjoyed the day. They are incredibly patient even if you have a bit of a rowdy crowd, they handle it with tolerance, patience, and forgiveness. The only thing is that the tent does get a bit hot if it is a warm and humid day. You do have the option of fans, heaters, and pulling up the sides or down. If it is a summer wedding, I would recommend doing it a bit later in the evening so it is a little cooler. Overall, we are so glad to have had this experience at Stone Manor, we couldn’t have asked for a better place and we would highly recommend this venue to everyone.

It was the most beautiful day possible until exactly a half hour before our outdoor ceremony when a monsoon began. Brian had already taken the initiative to set up both the outdoor ceremony setting and the backup location within the reception tent. Seamlessly to me, all guests were ushered in with umbrellas and the whole bridal party was brought around from the manor to the covered entryway of the tent. From that point I never again even thought about the fact that it was raining because everything was still set up so well. The grounds of the house are absolutely beautiful so it was a shame to loose out on all those picture opportunities and miss the chance to have the guests enjoy cocktail hour on the back terrace/patio, but everyone complemented the site setup and had a really wonderful time despite the weather. We chose to use several of Stone Manor's recommended vendors, which worked very well since they are so used to collaborating with each other's staffs. I didn't have to worry about anything that was going on the entire wedding day and had plenty of confidence that it would all turn out beautifully, which it did. We plan to be back, hopefully to experience a fully sunny day at the Inn for our anniversary next year. Thanks Brian and Loree.

The grounds of Stone Manor were absolutely beautiful and the Manor itself was amazing. However, when we looked at the venue in the winter, the tent was not up. So my husband and I made the decision to go with the venue based on the grounds and manor assuming the tent would be the same caliber. I have to be honest that I was not a huge fan of the tent. So my only suggestion for couples is that if at all possible, see the tent before making your decision. This is not meant to deter anyone from visiting or selecting Stone Manor. Again, the grounds and manor are absolutely gorgeous. Many or even most couples might find the tent charming or just what they had hoped for. Our overall experience with the venue was great and we highly recommend them. As for the service, Brian was top notch. He was responsive, professional, and extremely well-organized.

Our official review of Stone Manor would be several pages long! Brian & Loree are the best people to work with and plan a wedding with! Stone Manor was our first and final choice and as soon as we pulled in the entrance the first time we knew that it was the most special place to celebrate our special day. We received compliments from all of our guests (who were mostly all out of state) who said "how did you find this place!!??" Stone Manor is absolutely breathtaking no matter what the season is and the decor and overall presentation of the venue is pristine. I definitely recommend staying at Stone Manor, the rooms are gorgeous and the service is superior. The breakfast in the AM was delicious and the autumn foliage outside of our window was a great feature!

When we booked our wedding at the Stone Manor, many of our family & friends complained about the far ride all the way to Middletown. My husband and I had only 2 responses to these complaints. 1)"If our day is important for you to share with us, you will find a way to make it". 2) "When you get there, you won't be sorry"! Bryan and his staff made this a wondeful journey for us throughout the planning process. On our day, staff was absolutely so amazing to us with their support.

Stone Manor was amazing in every way. Brian and his wife Lorie are so personable and truly want your wedding day to be special – they run Stone Manor. Brian made sure that every part of my wedding day was organized. The grounds of Stone Manor are breath taking. So many of my guest said that it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever been to. I could not have asked for a better place or a better staff to work with for my wedding. Thank you Brian and Lorie!

Stone Manor was an amazing venue for a wedding. Brian and Loree are helpful and flexible in their approach to running a wedding venue. Everything went smoothly!

AMAZING! Took care of every small detail-I would highly recommend them!

Beautiful , Amazing , Perfect !!! The Staff is friendly and helpful, but not in your face. The tent is a perfect blank canvas to express your personal style. They Coordinate your on site ceremony (rain plan and all) They also have separate Bride and Groom suites available to you most of your wedding day. The grounds make for some beautiful pictures.

There are not enough words to even describe Stone Manor Country Club! The place is spectacular in every way! My husband and I are so happy that we chose Stone Manor...infact, this was the one and only place we even looked at...and knew from the first moment that this was our place!!! Highly recommend!

I kept hearing from my guests how beautiful our venue was. In the summer time the greenery is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is very helpful and on top of things. I had complete faith in our venue. My only complaint was the temperature. Our wedding was in June and we rented fans but it was still very hot for the first half of the wedding. This is an affordable beautiful place to get married but if you can afford to rent an AC unit I would recommend it. Still I would get married there again! HIGHLY recommended.

Everything was perfect! Brian and Loree are great to work with. Highly recommend this venue to future brides and grooms.

This is the PERFECT place to have an outdoor wedding in the country. Everything is already gorgeous there so you don't have to decorate for it to look great. A wonderful staff to work with. Couldn't have gotten married at a better location!
