I just got married here on September 20, 2024 and my experience with Alison and Stonegate Manor from start to finish was INCREDIBLE. When I toured the venue I fell in love with it from the fairy garden to the indoor space to the boutique decor and everything in between.
Alison, the owner was SUPER helpful and sooo nice and super communicative. I bombarded her with emails and texts asking questions for months and she was always so helpful. Very grateful for her through the whole process. You can tell she really cares about the venue and the couples who get married there.
Sydnee, their in house coordinator was INCREDIBLE. I used her for day of coordinator services and couldn’t have gone through the day without her. I gave her a binder and let her know what I wanted and she pulled it all off so well and I didn’t have to worry about a SINGLE thing the day of my wedding. Everything was beautiful, she did a wonderful job. It made my special day stress free and a day I was able to enjoy.
Highly highly highly recommend Stonegate Manor. I’m so happy I got married there. All my guests loved the venue. Wish I could relive the day all over again!

Such a beautiful and unique space! Alison did a ton of work on the indoor space before our ceremony, and everything looked amazing. We got so many compliments on the venue, an it was 100% worth the money we paid! There were 1 or 2 times that I had to follow up on an email, but overall communication during our 2 year planning process was great!

Our wedding was on 6/10/23 and this place was amazing! The site is beautiful, they recently renovated the reception area and added some beautiful lights and space to the building and the outdoor reception space. And the manor house that you can add to the rental is such a cool place for pictures and had a great vintage feel. Alison was so helpful with all our questions and did everything she could to make sure our day went smoothly. I can't recommend this place enough!

We discovered Stonegate Manor shortly after getting engaged in November '20. Searching for a Fall '21 wedding spot was difficult during a pandemic as there were so many reschedules and regularly scheduled weddings being booked out as far as 2022. Prudy contacted us as soon as the weekend we were interested opened up - someone had to unfortunately cancel, but it worked out for us! From day one, Prudy and Tom were so incredibly helpful. They're beyond organized and have a huge collection of antique furniture and decorations on site available to use and/or rent for your special day. We didn't even have to hire a wedding coordinator or decorator because of how on top of everything Prudy and Tom are. It was truly a treat to work with them and we're so glad to have met! We can't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Our day was absolutely perfect and we can't recommend Stonegate Manor enough for your special day!

My husband and I just got married at Stonegate Manor. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. Working with Prudy and Tom leading up to the event was so fun. They were helpful, responsive and answered any questions we had right away. The venue is beautiful and we loved having our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one place! It made for a seamless event and the Stonegate team were great to work with. Our guests kept telling us how they were so impressed with the venue and could not believe how beautiful it was! We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out and a major part of that was choosing Stonegate as our venue.

My husband and I got married in July of this year, and it was magical 💕 Just perfection!! Stonegate Manor is breathtakingly beautiful! It was exactly what we were looking for, and so much more.

We wish we could relive our wedding day over and over again. Thank you Stonegate Manor! ❤

If I could do it all again, I would, without a doubt, choose Stonegate again. My husband and I were one of the couples who were scheduled to get married in July of 2020. But, with the pandemic in full swing, we made the choice to postpone to 2021. Prudy and Tom handled this unprecedented situation with the utmost respect and kindness for their couples. They gave us options early and were willing to work with us to find a date that lined up with all of our vendors. They were timely in their responses and were so accommodating with the many changes that we ended up making to our day. I can say with certainty, you have made the best decision to get married at Stonegate, not only for the venue itself and its many charms, but the support, advice and care you receive from the venue owners, cannot be matched.
As for Alison, her title as “month-of-coordinator” is not adequate enough, as she was available for questions, advice and recommendations every step of the way, even with our postponed date. She genuinely cares about each and every event she coordinates. She would reach out to touch base on her own accord to see how things were going and if she could help with anything. We had several “phone pow-wows” which left me feeling reassured and confident our wedding would be everything we wanted it to be. Alison had an answer to every question I posed and was full of suggestions, without ever coming off as pushy.
When our day finally came, I had no doubts that it would turn out exactly how we wanted it with Alison in charge. And I was right! There was a ton of fresh greenery that needed to be arranged for our tables etc. Since we had spoken so many times about my vision, I gave her full reign to decorate however she saw fit. She nailed it!! She wrangled our guests and bridal party with professionalism and timeliness. I really could not ask for a better coordinator and would recommend her services to anyone and everyone.
response 10/28/2021
This means so much coming from you, Victoria. It was a long, long journey that you handle...
d with such grace. We were all in it together and it came together just beautifully. Actually, it couldn't have been any better! Thanks for your kind words. Alison did hit a home run and we are proud to have her as our coordinator. We wish you two a lifetime of happiness. Please stay in touch and give my greetings to your family.

My fiancé and I absolutely loved our wedding at Stonegate Manor! It was everything we could have ever dreamt of. Prudy was so professional but also extremely personable and attentive to our wishes and needs. Due to planning a wedding in the midst of COVID, I had no idea whether I wanted an intimate or larger wedding, or if I wanted to be indoors our outdoors due to restrictions. After several emails with Prudy, my fiancé and I decided this would be the best venue to give us everything we possible could need for a wedding.
Prudy absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had no worries the entire day. The decorations that came with the package were BEAUTIFUL to say the least, the venue provided a STUNNING cheese board that our guests STILL are talking about weeks later! We had a short ceremony, and a small reception under the tent, lawn games, and we decided to add on some additional details. We rented the dance floor, had a 2 hour serving from Imperial Taco truck (our guests were traveling 3 hours to the venue, so we wanted to provide them with a dinner along with the appetizer board). We did an open bar, champagne toast with short speeches, brought a polaroid camera/set up and Prudy provided a beautiful ring light/frame for us to use. Everything was absolutely perfect. If you are on the fence of having an intimate wedding, I say just do it! I did not want to plan a lot, or worry about decor and they handled it all for me, aside from the additional details I wanted to have to make the day extra special to me and my guests (taco truck, bar, polaroids, etc). Prudy and Stonegate Manor will absolutely take care of you and all of your needs!
response 10/07/2021
Thanks, Tesla. I had a lot of fun planning with you and Joe. And your wedding was tons of ...
fun. It was as lively as a "big" wedding with everyone dancing and, clearly, having a great time. Thanks for sharing your day with us and come visit! Hope your honeymoon out East was amazing.

Our wedding at Stonegate was perfect. We were able to take over the space and really make it our own. Over COVID Stonegate installed the large tent on the lawn, which to be honest was not my dream, but Prudy worked with us to make it exactly what I wanted. She allowed us to install two large floral hoops in the tent and also hang floral hoops on the walls of the Riverside room. They also put a lot of work in making sure all the electrical was ready for our band. Prudy and her team are definitely 'yes' people and will help make sure you get the wedding of your dreams.

When my (now) husband and I started wedding planning, back in the summer of 2020, we weren't sure what our eventual wedding would look like, with Covid. We wanted something outside, something fun, and something that made our guests feel safe and comfortable. Stonegate Manor was that perfect place we were looking for. It's absolutely gorgeous, so unique, and Prudy is such a helpful Manager. We had a beautiful wedding this last August, and Prudy helped make all of our dreams come true. Our friends played bags/corn hole in the yard, giant jenga, and danced the night away under the spaces beautiful new tent. Everyone kept remarking about how gorgeous the fairytale garden was where we said our vows, and it was a perfect day. I truly can't recommend Stonegate Manor or Prudy more highly!
response 09/21/2021
Thank you, Phebe! It was a great deal of fun...both leading up to it and the actual day. ...
You were gorgeous. Everyone had a great time and I'm just so grateful you chose to share your most special day with us! Best wishes from all of us for a lifetime of happiness.

Everything about Stonegate Manor was perfect. Our daughter chose the fairy garden shaded by trees for the ceremony which was so gorgeous. There is a pergola if you prefer a larger sunny space. We also rented the historical mansion on the grounds for the day where the girls got dressed and took stunning pictures. The brand new outdoor permanent tent is beautiful and the acoustics were great. I love how it is connected to the main building which is air conditioned and contains the restrooms. If it rains, no problem! Owners Prudy and Tom really know how to run a business. They are very organized so everything went smoothly from the first day we started planning. We hired their wedding planner Alison who went above and beyond to make sure the day of the wedding was perfect. We are from Chicago and didn’t know the area so we relied on her suggestions for everything. Listen to her because she knows her stuff! Thank you Stonegate for giving our daughter the wedding of her dreams even during these uncertain COVID-19 times.

As soon as we heard Stonegate Manor was offering micro weddings, we knew this would be the perfect wedding venue for us. I worked with Classic Catering at Stonegate’s venue many times, and I can tell you that Prudy and Tom always treat their guests, and their business partners’ employees, with the utmost respect. We knew we wanted a venue where we could have a small, intimate, no-fuss wedding with our closest friends and family. Stonegate gave us just that. We loved that we had the choice of having what needed provided (officiant, flowers, cake) or we could provide it ourselves. The package came with the cute and whimsical Fairy Garden for the ceremony and the gorgeous vintage Manor House for the reception. The owners gave us room to do our thing but were always available as soon as we needed them. We really can’t describe how amazing the day was. It was more than we ever expected and we can’t thank Stonegate Manor enough. If you have the chance, we highly recommend them!

10/5 When my now husband and I first saw Stonegate we knew we had to get married there. We traveled across the state to get married here and everything was absolutely perfect. Prudy and Tom are beyond amazing and will try and do everything to make your day perfect. During our reception we had a regional power outage and Stonegate had generators up and running in under 15 minutes! The grounds are beyond beautiful and allow your guests room to explore (and allows for gorgeous pictures!) and the buildings just as gorgeous. Our guests are still talking about it. With COVID regulations Stonegate was amazing at keeping everything running smoothly, even after having to move our wedding out a year, and the new permanent tent made for an AMAZING evening. If you are looking to get married, wherever you are from, I seriously cannot recommend this venue enough. I would not have changed a thing. Thank you Prudy and Tom!! ❤❤

Such an amazing, gorgeous wedding venue, not to mention, an amazing team to go along with it. We could not have asked for a better wedding and it's all thanks to Stonegate Manor. From the detail and passion they have during the tour to the beautiful grounds and everything in between, Stonegate was the best choice we could have made. We're so happy we had our wedding here. If you're even thinking about it, don't hesitate to tour and check out this venue for yourself.

If you are looking for a fairy garden or cozy cottage themed venue, Stonegate Manor is the best choice! Their petite package option was perfect for me and my guests. I ended up wanting to do a little bit more than what the package offered and they were incredibly accommodating. The staff is all so wonderful and welcoming. Prudy was always quick to answer any questions I had and made planning virtually stress free. They have so many options for decore that you can rent, and they also have many items available for free. I loved everything about my wedding at Stonegate!!

Stonegate Manor was the perfect venue! They were accommodating, the location is beautiful, and they were genuinely happy for us. They go above and beyond for their couples. We took part in their micro wedding package and loved the experience. It was short, sweet, and just what we were looking for. They took care of many of the details for us like the cake, officiant, and bouquet and boutonniere, all of which were wonderful. Plus, the manor house and grounds are so beautiful even casual cell phone photos turned out amazing! If you are looking for a stress-free experience (or as close to it as possible on your wedding day) then Stonegate Manor is the place!

My wife and I decided to go a different route with our wedding and wanted to do something different. We saw this as an option and headed to see the Venue and the staff was very nice and professional and tailored their service to our needs. My wife Loved the Venue and said it could have not been a better way to do it. The Staff assisted throughout the wedding day to make sure it was easy for us and they allowed us to stay over our scheduled time to make sure we got all of our pictures in. We highly recommend this venue if you want to do a "Covid Safe " wedding or any type of wedding venue. 10/10!

During a crazy year when everything is uncertain and regulations on events are constantly changing, I have no idea how we could have done our wedding without Prudy and the amazing people at Stonegate. The venue is gorgeous! They were very flexible and did everything they could to make our wedding work even during a pandemic. Prudy was responsive and helpful every step of the way. We also never felt like they were just in it for the money (something we did experience with other places in our initial search). They truly cared about our wedding and made the day incredibly special. When others had horror stories about venues being difficult or canceling this year, we can do nothing but rave about Stonegate. I truly cannot recommend them enough.

We absolutely LOVED our small wedding at Stonegate Manor. Due to Covid, we had to replan everything. We found Stonegate Manor four days before our ceremony. Prudy (the owner) was super accommodating, the price was very reasonable, and they even provided a lovely wedding officiant. The property is gorgeous and as a result our photos turned out stunning. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Rita + Yair <3

At Stonegate Manor you will feel more like family than a business transaction. The owner, Prudy Nelson, is kind, professional, detail-oriented, communicative, and trustworthy. Every step of the way she was clear about our options and honest about anything that may have come up to change circumstances. We felt valued during our wedding planning and very cared for. This was ESPECIALLY appreciated during the Covid-19 times with the changing uncertainty.
We had a unique opportunity to partake in the "Petite Wedding." Stonegate was agile in responding to Covid-19 restrictions by creating an inclusive package for 30 guests. Never in my wildest dreams could this have gone better. It was totally stress free - allowing for a few classy choices on flowers, cake, table coverings and centerpieces, the ceremony & reception sites, music, tables, yard games, and the use of the rare gem of a manor house in which to ready ourselves and bridal party.
Details & getting it right, as well as constant - and accurate, worry-free communication are a niche for Stonegate. This level of service was exceptional for me, and it will be for you too! We were able to schedule a complete walkthrough of the gorgeous grounds, 2 possible ceremony sites, rain optional planned space, the interior of the fully restored Edwardian style Victorian manor house, carriage house, and reception hall. Words cannot describe the beauty and peace in this place. I will forever cherish my wedding day at Stonegate Manor because of the unique and timeless style it offered us.
Prudy Nelson and team delivered flawlessly. We were also given documentation far beyond our expectation when it came to the contract language, amendments, and proof of payment. Use Prudy's preferred vendors for an even better experience. Kitty Lee Photography and Classic Catering were our choice vendors and did a phenomenal job as well. We would not have even known about them if it had not been for Stonegate's preferred vendor lists. This helped immensely as we planned out our wedding on the fly. Every part of our experience went so well.
If you are looking for your dream wedding venue and have any doubt, just schedule the tour. You will be amazed by the stunning property, the care and concern of the owners, and the smooth process that awaits you during planning. Thank you Prudy, Tom, Alison, Stonegate Manor team - from the bottom of our hearts. We were grateful to be married at Stonegate.

I don't have enough time to write out all of the wonderful things on Stonegate. Prudy was absolutely wonderful to work with ESPECIALLY when you're planning a wedding during a pandemic. While I was hearing horror stories from other brides about their venues, I was beyond relieved and ecstatic that I had an amazing venue to work with. Prudy did everything in her power to make sure our wedding was a dream come true. She was there every step of the way answering any question in a timely manner. I wouldn't have chosen any other venue. Thank you for making our wedding the most perfect day!

You did it! If you were sweating COVID, you sure didn't show it. You could not have been...
more calm and that made my job so much easier! You rolled with the punches and pulled off an amazingly beautiful wedding. And you have the nicest friends and family. It was an honor and a pleasure to be part of your celebration!

Stonegate is a venue that you will regret if you do not book here. Prudy and her staff are so nice. The Venue itself is so unique and just absolutely gorgeous. Our wedding was outside due to the COVID and I have to say bugs was no issue at ALL. The land is sprayed the scenery was priceless. If your questioning booking at Stonegate, no more questioning just do it you will not be disappointed. Awesome place, awesome staff. I truly had a dream come true wedding at this venue.

We are so glad that we discovered Stonegate Manor for our small family ceremony! To start, it is so close to Lake Michigan. We were able to get a photo op at the beach in our casual clothes before the ceremony. Then when we arrived at Stonegate, there was plenty of space in the beautiful manor house for us to change into our ceremony outfits. And speaking of photo ops, the grounds are beautiful and have tons of options for beautiful backdrops. We chose the Fairy Garden as our location, and since we were planning our wedding on a very short timeline, we didn’t have any extra decorations. We didn’t need them! It was the perfect secluded spot for us to say our vows with our family members, both human and canine (did we mention Stonegate is dog friendly?!).
As I mentioned, we were planning our wedding with only about a month’s notice, and at first we thought that we’d just go to the courthouse. We can’t say how glad we are that we chose Stonegate instead. While we wanted the day to be a casual, stress free event, we also wanted it to be special and memorable. Having an elopement package that includes flowers, cake and other extras eliminated planning stress and decision fatigue, and Prudy is so easy to work with and was able to accommodate the requests we did have to make the day uniquely ours. If you are planning on having your wedding at Stonegate Manor, expect personalized customer service, consistent communication, and a warm welcome when you arrive for your big day.

Stonegate Manor is a gorgeous venue off the beaten path near a cute beach town in Southwest Michigan. My now husband and I chose Stonegate Manor because of the gorgeous Fairy Garden that we were married in. The Manor House is a beautiful antique house which is perfect for putting your wedding gown on and getting amazing photos. There is also the Bridal Cottage so you and your soon-to-be spouse can keep your distance. The Riverside Room is a perfect space to feel cozy and together with all of your loved ones. I cannot say enough about how perfect our day was. Prudy, the owner, worked diligently with us throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and helped ease all of our worries. If you're hesitating to book this venue, just do it. You will certainly have your happily ever after here, as we did!

Me and my husband got married at Stonegate in August of 2019 and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married! I was so happy to find a venue that wasn't a barn here in southwest Michigan since I'm not really a "barn" person. Prudy was wonderful and helped me when I had questions and made everything easier. She graciously offered me and husband to use one of their tents free of charge since there was another wedding the day before using it. She was also so nice and compassionate when I had explained my father had passed away the month before my wedding. If you ever need a beautiful venue with some awesome people running it, then I highly recommend Stonegate Manor!

My wife was one primarily interacting with Prudy at Stonegate, so take my review with a grain of salt. But the venue was great, I personally did not notice any issues with the venue and Prudy was helpful and responsive. The weather was unpredictable the day we got married, but it was nice to have options for indoor and outdoor if needed. Prudy mailed my wife's jacket back to us quickly when we accidentally left it behind. Overall, beautiful location and pleasant owners.

If I could give 10 stars it still would not say enough about Stonegate & their team! As soon as I pulled into Stonegate Manor to take a tour my husband and I instantly fell in love & we booked the same day! We had our wedding on Oct. 19th 2019. Autumn season is our favorite, but can be a little scary for a wedding with the unpredictable Autumn weather. Stonegate ensured everything went perfectly! First, the grounds are absolutely breathtaking with 3 options to have your ceremony, we chose the Fairy Garden. The bridal cottage is beautiful with victorian furniture. And there is a stunning reception hall on the same grounds. Over the 1.5years of planning our wedding Prudy was at our fingertips and helped relieve so much stress that comes along with planning one of the most important day of your life!! She sends out information of vendors to make your planning easier and helps guide you in the right direction. Prudy’s response when you have questions or need anything is unremarkable. During the day of our wedding Stonegate Manor team was there to help. Allison is one of the sweetest people I have met and was extremely helpful making sure all our wishes and hiccups were taken care of. I also had guest say that they could see in Jennifer’s eyes that she adores and has a passion for weddings. All of our guest commented to me multiple times that Stonegate was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a wedding! We can’t Thank the Stonegate Manor’s team enough for making our wedding perfect and exactly how we imagined it would be!!! Prudy & Tom we wish we both years of making other couples wedding dreams come true like ours did!

We couldn’t of asked for a better place to get married. The owners were so kind and were willing to help us with anything. Wedding planning was a breeze with them. They sent us many contacts for vendors and they had so many free decorations that they had for use to use for our wedding. We love Stonegate Manor! Thank you Tom and Prudy for an awesome venue!

We first met Stonegate Manor and Prudy, the wonderful woman who owns the venue with her husband, in February 2018 when my (now) husband and I were visiting our narrowed selection of venue options for our wedding from out of town. We knew instantly that Stonegate was the right venue for us despite the cold wet snow that covered most of the grounds during our visit--leaving our vision for a late summer wedding mostly in our imaginations. The grounds are lovely, but Prudy was the highlight of the tour and ultimately the reason why we chose Stonegate. Prudy and her team are not only professional and extremely responsive, more importantly, they are kind, understanding, and flexible. They took the time to get to know us and were willing to work with us at every step of the way; they do not approach their couples as another business transaction. We had a fantastic experience planning with them (even from out of town). Prudy sends regular email updates to all of her couples about recommended vendors and new additions/options available for free use or rent at Stonegate--and also on the day of the event. Our wedding was fantastic, and I can't imagine how our experience with Stonegate could have been any better. We celebrated our wedding ceremony offsite and hosted the reception at Stonegate, utilizing the Riverside Room and a tent outside.

Our venue was the best part of our wedding! Stonegate Manor is absolutely breathtaking. We got married in their Fairy Garden which is one of the three different ceremony spots on the property. The team you get to work with at Stonegate (Prudy, her husband Tom, and Jen) were amazing. So responsive, reliable, and did whatever it took to make our dreams come true! This is a very dedicated team & I would choose Stonegate if I had to do it all over again! All of my guests told me how beautiful our wedding venue was and that it was one of the best they have ever been to! I strongly encourage you to reach out to Prudy and go visit Stonegate! You will fall in love and you WONT regret it.

Stonegate Manor is the prettiest venue. We were blessed with a gorgeous day- low 70s on a late August evening. Everything about the grounds, the manor house, ceremony sites and reception space embodied everything I’ve ever dreamt of for my wedding day. It made for absolutely beautiful photos! The Fairy garden was a dream ceremony space. Guests raved about the lawn and outdoor seating and bar because they got to enjoy the gorgeous summer night. The kids loved the lawn games and the grounds gave them plenty of room to run around and be kids. I am so thankful for Prudy and all her help with planning our wedding. She ordered linens for us, made the floor plan and helped me stay on top of things up until the big day. The Stonegate boutique allowed us to borrow vintage decor and items that made our budget appear to be way larger than it really was. You don’t have to break the bank on decor because Prudy has it all for you to use. I wish I could do it all over again because it was that perfect !

Stonegate Manor was a dream come true. The perfect mix between classic and elegant. We got everything we wanted: the ability to share our day with a LARGE group of people, the chance to dance outside under the stars--yet eat dinner inside in air conditioning, take pictures inside a historic house filled with antique items, and get married in a fairy garden surrounded by tall beautiful trees. The true icing on the cake though was working with two people as easy going, and eager to please, as Prudy and Tom. Prudy checked in on me monthly, asking how she could help. Offered recommendations for vendors, and had a day of coordinator that we could use. She held my hand through the planning process, and it was so comforting to have her there. I can't say enough about this venue, or the owners. It truly was the best day, all thanks to Stonegate!

Stonegate’s elegance and professionalism is top drawer and key to the success of what was a gorgeous ceremony, delicious dinner and desserts, as well as a blast dancing and playing lawn games throughout the evening.
They provided guidance, consulting and coaching throughout the entire process. We are not local and they helped us secure all our vendors. The Month of Coordinator, Jen is amazing and we cannot imagine how we would have managed pulling everything together without her, as well as the owners, Prudy and Tom.

Stonegate was one of the first and best decisions we made when planning our wedding! From the minute we reached out to Prudy to schedule a visit to the night of the wedding, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She was always quick to answer any questions we had to make sure we felt totally comfortable with how our big day was shaping up. We also used several items from both the Stonegate boutique and rental list, which was a very easy process. We were absolutely blown away by the grounds when we visited, and I still hear from guests about how beautiful the setting was. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to get married!

Stonegate Manor - Fairy Tale Wedding
We had our wedding at Stonegate on June 8, 2019. The whole experience working with the staff was amazing. They are all so friendly and professional. Their response time to emails was really quick.
We chose the Fairy Garden for the ceremony. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful setting. The Garden was lush and green and completely romantic. For the reception we used the lawn and Riverside Room. The Riverside Room is charming and full of antique touches that make the venue so unique.
There is a bridal cottage and Manor House you can rent for the day to get ready in - which we did. The Manor House is this Victorian beauty that is a perfect backdrop for pictures.
The whole property is just gorgeous and I don't think you can find anything else like it. Our wedding was perfect and yours will be, too!

Stonegate Manor was the perfect setting for our wedding. We were able to combine my desire for a beautiful setting with my husband's desire to have a somewhat casual affair. All of the facilities were beautiful, clean, and ready for our arrival on our wedding day. The Fairy Garden is a gorgeous ceremony setting and the pictures turned out beautiful! The Riverside Room comfortably held our 130 guests and stayed cool even on a hot July day! Prudy and Tom were amazing to work with. They treated our special day as if it was as important to them as it was to us. Their personal touch sets them apart from other venues.

The price is also great comparative to other venues in the area. Believe me, we visited them all. I highly recommend stonegate manor, CK catering, and stalks and stems florists.

My daughter was married at Stonegate Manor this fall and we are so thankful that we found this venue and the wonderful people who manage it. The house and grounds are picture perfect, with multiple photo opportunities so all the photography can take place right there. The reception hall worked perfectly for our small gathering of around 100. But the most outstanding thing about Stonegate is the way that Prudy, the owner, welcomes and works with the clients. Prudy goes out of her way to accommodate and assist her couples in having the best day possible, with warmth and good humor that puts you at ease and assures you that all will be well. In addition, I don't think you could find another venue where the owner and staff exhibited more integrity and professionalism...things that we highly respect and value. We definitely recommend Stonegate for anyone planning a wedding or other event.

Stonegate Manor was the perfect setting for our October 2018 wedding. The grounds are gorgeous, and the fall woods surrounding the fairy garden were the most amazing background for our ceremony. Prudy and her team were beyond accommodating, kindly answering a slew of questions leading up to the day, and even allowing us some extra decorating time because we were an all DIY wedding. We brought a whole trailer of things, even our own fireplace, and Prudy and her team took it all in stride, constantly kind and gracious. The grounds and the house offer so many locations for special moments and photographs. We did a no-look first look in the house that I will cherish the beautiful images from. The house also gave us a great spot to sign our license and take a moment with each other before beginning the party.
I loved that Stonegate felt like the best of bost worlds: an intimate country estate, and an enchanted woods straight out of a fairy tale. Thank you so much, Prudy. Stonegate Manor was our first wedding planning choice, and we couldn't have picked a more beautiful, kind, peaceful venue.

Stonegate Manor is a hidden gem which we were fortunate to discover when searching for a wedding venue in southwest Michigan. The owners, Prudy and Tom, are prompt, professional, and kind. From the outset, they unhesitatingly accommodated all of our needs. For out-of-state couples like us, consistent communication with Prudy and the list of suggested vendors she provided helped us plan our wedding seamlessly. The grounds are expansive and breathtakingly beautiful. The charming Bridal Cottage and exquisite Manor Home were perfect places where we primped, dressed, and relaxed before the wedding. We, along with our family and guests, loved the combination of the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour followed by the climate-controlled Riverside Room for the reception. In fact, our guests were so impressed by Stonegate Manor that they called and sent text messages to us for days after the wedding lauding our selection of such a unique, elegant, and stunning venue for our wedding. We couldn't agree with them more. Our wedding day was perfect, and we owe that in large part to our choosing Stonegate Manor as the venue.
If you're looking for a spectacular venue in southwest Michigan with owners who will work with you to ensure that your wedding day (or other event) is absolutely perfect, Stonegate Manor is the perfect place for you. We highly recommend it and hope for the opportunity to attend another event here as guests sometime in the future.

Stonegate is a truly beautiful venue and a hidden gem in Southwest Michigan! The venue looks just like the pictures and makes for a truly memorable event. I had my wedding in the fairy garden and it was perfect. Prudy is so helpful and makes sure you are always in the loop on what's going on, on the ground or items she may have for rent. She is attentive and responsive to any questions you may have and on the day of your wedding she is there making sure that all your vendors know where to go and things are shaping up to what you would expect your day would be. I am so happy I found this place!

I’m not sure where to even begin-we had our wedding this past weekend at Stonegate and it was everything we could’ve ever asked for and so much more. Our ceremony spot, the fairy garden, was breathtaking. The grounds in general were just beautiful. The manor house and the bridal cottage were the perfect spots for our wedding party to get ready and chill in. You will never find kinder and more accommodating wedding venue owners than Prudy and Tom. They had so much to offer us at Stonegate but also allowed us to bring in some outside rentals for some extra touches. They were so prompt in all our communication and put so much effort into our day. If you’re looking for a charming and unique venue with the perfect mixture of outdoor and indoor space, you’ll find all of that and beyond it at Stonegate!

Stonegate Manor was everything I hoped and dreamed for my wedding. It is the most beautiful setting for ceremony, cocktails, and reception. If I had to choose a venue over again, I would no doubt choose Stonegate. I feel like seeing it in person beforehand and even pictures or other weddings do not do it justice. Prudy was the best person to work with. She was so responsive and so helpful every single step of the way. She was so patient with all of my questions and was so helpful and accommodating with all of our requests, visits, and needs. She provided a very helpful list of recommended vendors, which gave us such a good place to start considering we did not know anyone in the area. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with!
