Stone Ridge Farm Inn

We, along with our bridal party, stayed at Stone Ridge Farm Inn for our wedding weekend, and it was truly one of the BEST decisions I have ever made. Our guests travelled from all over the world, and they were floored with how beautiful the farm is. Lori did an INCREDIBLE job with the renovations. Every detail was meaningful and added to our experience. Lori and Steve are the most gracious hosts and made our wedding weekend everything I dreamed of and more. The venue also has an amazing backstory: it was home to Pearl S. Buck, the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. It was truly an honor to stay there. Thank you SO much Lori and Steve.

We had a beautiful wedding weekend in April at the Stone Ridge Farm Inn! From the moment I began communication with Lori, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to all of my questions throughout the planning process. The venue is definitely a hidden gem and it was perfect for our intimate wedding of 27 people. We decided not to hire a wedding planner, and I’m so glad we didn’t because Lori and Steve were there to help with anything we needed. We DIY’d all of our wedding décor, and Lori helped incorporate some of the Carriage House’s existing decorations with ours, which gave the space a more romantic vibe. I made our two wedding cakes, but I forgot to bring cake stands for them. Lori was so kind to go out of her way to pick up two stands for us to use so we could display the cakes properly. Steve and Lori spent the previous day helping us set up, running through our ceremony rehearsal with us, and making sure our guests found their rooms and got parked without any issues. Steve also handled our ceremony music from our Spotify playlists perfectly. We were told that he wasn’t very “tech savvy,” but we gave him a simple list of songs and cues, and he absolutely understood the assignment. The dining area at the Inn was set up beautifully for our welcome dinner. Lori had just recently gotten longer dining tables for the Inn, so it was the perfect amount of space to seat everyone. Steve and Lori gave us space to host our welcome dinner, and if we ever needed anything from them, all we had to do was text or call them and they’d be right over. After dinner, we had karaoke at the Inn, which ended up being one of the most fun parts of the weekend. There’s a karaoke microphone upstairs overlooking the main area, and all we had to do was hook up our laptop and pull up karaoke songs on YouTube. Everyone had a blast singing and hanging out! We also hosted a send-off brunch the next morning after the wedding, and Lori met our caterer and helped them with setup while we and our guests were able to sleep in. The Inn itself is beautiful, cozy, and incredibly well stocked. The kitchen has plenty of plates, glassware, utensils, and anything else you might need. There are nine beautifully decorated guest rooms, which comfortably accommodated 22 of our guests, including us. The Carriage House was the perfect reception space for our guest count. We had plenty of room for dinner, desserts, and a dance floor. We were also able to have our ceremony outdoors, and the sunset during cocktail hour was absolutely mesmerizing. We brought our own speaker and laptop for music, and it sounded great all evening. We didn’t even need a DJ. Every little detail was so thoughtfully considered, and Steve and Lori made us feel completely supported from start to finish. The entire weekend was so wonderful, and if I could do it all over again, I would! If anyone is thinking of hosting their intimate sized wedding somewhere, definitely host it here! It’s the perfect place to spend your weekend with your closest friends and family.
