We had our reception only wedding at Stonebridge Manor's Garden Pavilion tent (ceremony was off-site Catholic mass) and had the premier (middle) tier package + 3 upgrades. Stonebri...dge Manor is unbelievably beautiful and we are extremely pleased with how everything turned out! It is such a stunning spot if you're looking for a non-AZ-desert-looking wedding. Everything was well-manicured and pretty much just how I envisioned it, with little things here and there differing but overall great. Riley was our day-of coordinator and SO kind, helpful, professional and accommodating. So grateful for her! Lillian the banquet captain was awesome too and waited on us hand and foot all night long!
Couple downsides about Stonebridge/Wedgewood that couples should be aware of: while it's SO nice that the packages are completely customizable, they were not up-front with us about the fact that if you remove items from your package, you are only credited about 30-40% of the value. I understand that they incentivize you to use their vendors, but crediting $300 when DJ market value like $1500-2000 is a little unprofessional in my opinion. We ended up going with theirs of course and luckily he was so fantastic. But it's like that with any deduction - feel free to remove it, but you're gonna pay for that decision (literally). They are also pretty inflexible if you're looking to deviate at all from what their standard protocol is (don't expect early access to suites, extra set-up time, salted rims on margaritas, additional tables, etc.) For example, I found it odd that you get 4 cocktail tables regardless of if your wedding is 100 people or 300 people. One last con, their invitation website is truly awful. It is ridiculously antiquated and honestly not functional for anyone who is detail-oriented in the slightest. Trying to navigate it was probably top 3 worst parts of my wedding planning experience - so much so that I ended up just deducting the invitations from our package and eating the cost (they gave me back $1.50/pp, when the average cost for an invitation is $5-8/pp and is what we spent using Minted) But it wasn't worth the migraine & tears of trying to use the website. More pros is that Stonebridge is pretty responsive to emails and texts, and are always happy to tweak your elections/changes. Having flexibility up until 10 days before was really nice and put me at ease. They are definitely wedding pros and know all the little detailed questions to ask, which I really appreciated! All of the food was phenomenal (we did buffet), staff was kind, bartenders were pretty quick, and space was simply stunning. So many of our guests told us and our families that it was the best wedding they had been to, and they were just in awe of how beautiful the property is. I would recommend anyone to have their wedding at Stonebridge Manor. Thank you, Stonebridge Manor team, for such a love-filled and memorable day!
