coming. She patiently answered our countless questions, always made us feel like a priority despite juggling multiple weddings, and was genuinely happy to help in any way she could. Her organization, attention to detail, and thoroughness made the entire wedding planning process feel seamless and completely manageable.
We are absolutely over the moon with how our wedding weekend turned out. Melanie & The Stonewall team truly took care of everything!! Between keeping us on track with our timeline, constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, and creating such a calm, supportive environment that we were able to fully relax and be present all weekend. We truly could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding; it was nothing short of magical. Do yourself a favor and book with Stonewall, you will not regret it!

We got married at Stonewall Estate in September and honestly we were blown away by the whole experience!
The views and scenery were stunning. The ceremony site has a mountain view...
with turning leaves in the fall. We got so many compliments on just the views alone! We also had our welcome party at Stonewall at the Meredith (sister property but different owners), which also wow’d us all with the views.
Melanie and the staff were incredible throughout the whole wedding. Melanie is very experienced and did a great job of helping our vision come to life leading up to the wedding. We didn’t have a planner, but Melanie was so responsive and helpful we really didn’t need one. Throughout the day of our wedding, I don’t think there was a moment of stress. Everything was run so smoothly, from guest transportation to maintaining the schedule to all of the little details we didn’t have to think about. Melanie was an awesome day-of-coordinator and it was also a plus that she did a ton of content creation for us! It was special to be able to relive the night just the next day with all of the stories she posted the day before.
Our friends are all in peak wedding season now, and they all agreed our wedding was the most guest accommodating wedding they’ve been to! We couldn’t recommend this venue more

The moment we stepped onto the property at Stonewall Estate, we knew instantly that it was where we wanted to get married. We had been searching for a venue that we could call our ...
own for the entire weekend—somewhere our family and bridal party could stay together on-site—and Stonewall delivered this perfectly. The estate house and cottage created the ideal setting for a full wedding-weekend experience.
Melanie and Steve have their venue down to a science. Their attentiveness, organization, and genuine care made our planning process smooth and stress-free. We never hired a wedding planner because we truly didn’t need one—Melanie was on top of every timeline and detail from start to finish. When we couldn’t get a hold of our caterer, she stepped in immediately and helped us navigate the situation without hesitation.
On the wedding day, Melanie and Steve brought our vision to life flawlessly. Even when our buses ran behind schedule, Melanie remained calm, collected, and reassuring, making sure everything still stayed perfectly on track. There were moments when I needed something as simple as my jacket—and somehow it would just appear. Melanie anticipated every need for us, our families, and our bridal party, while Steve worked seamlessly behind the scenes to keep the entire event running beautifully.
We were fortunate enough to experience Stonewall Estate as guests before our own wedding, and even then, Melanie and Steve were incredibly attentive. Knowing that this level of care carries through for every event made us even more confident in our choice.
Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we owe so much of that to Stonewall Estate. We cannot recommend this venue—and Melanie and Steve—highly enough. It is a magical place run by exceptional people, and we feel so grateful to have celebrated our day there.

We do not even know where to begin at how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Stonewall Estates is!! From the venue itself, to the guest house to the amazing staffing we could go on and on! Melanie...
and Steve, the owners, treat it as if it was their wedding day making every last piece perfect from checking in with us on the day to measuring the seats at the ceremony site to make sure the spacing is perfect! The process from start to finish was truly amazing from check ins to answering any questions concerns to even giving local guidance for a welcome dinner and the shuttle service! Melanie has such a passion for what she does and it truly makes you feel like at ease because she is on your side! She was out restocking the s’mores to warming up blankets for us after a light drizzle right before our ceremony started!
This team and venue make your wedding “day” into a wedding weekend with loved ones and family - giving you more time to enjoy your special moment! Stonewall has thought of it all and we would highly recommend you having your wedding here too.

Our wedding at Stonewall Estate was truly the best day of our lives. From the very beginning, Melanie, Steve, Stacey, and the entire team were nothing short of incredible. We came ...
to them with a vision for a non-traditional wedding, and they embraced it wholeheartedly—helping us bring every unique detail to life.
The setting is absolutely magical. From saying our vows overlooking the mountains to celebrating in the iconic red barn, every moment felt like a scene from a dream. The property is breathtaking, and the house on-site is not only beautiful but was such an added bonus for our stay and for creating those intimate moments with family and friends.
What really stood out was the care and attention from the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly while allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our day.
Stonewall Estate is more than just a venue—it’s an experience. We’re forever grateful to the team for helping us create memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime: we highly recommend getting married here!

The Wedding of Our Dreams
Getting married at Stonewall Estate was truly the best decision we could have made. From the very beginning, Melanie and her team went above and beyond ...
to ensure that every single detail was accounted for. Their care, professionalism, and warmth made the entire planning process smooth and on the wedding day itself, they made magic happen.
The setting is nothing short of breathtaking. The mountains surrounding the property created a picture-perfect backdrop, and the barn… absolutely stunning. Elegant, cozy, and full of charm…it was everything we hoped for and more.
One of the greatest gifts of Stonewall Estate was being able to stay for the whole weekend. My Husband’s family is from overseas and this was the first time everyone was going to be together in years. Having our families and bridal party gather together in one place was the biggest blessing. It transformed our wedding from just one quick day into a full, joyful, unforgettable weekend. We were able to take in every moment, celebrate without rushing, and truly soak up the love all around us.
We would get married here a thousand times over. If you’re dreaming of a venue that’s both beautiful and deeply meaningful where every detail is handled with care, and where you can create not just a wedding day but a weekend to remember Stonewall Estate is it!!

It's hard to put into words the feeling we got visiting Stonewall Estate - the property itself is stunningly nestled in the Catskill Mountains, the tour of the house was delightfu...
l, and the view of the outdoor ceremony site itself took our breath away. We knew during our tour that this was it and we didn't need to see any other venues. A large part of our choice also stemmed from Melanie, the owner/coordinator of the venue. She is warm and personable and clearly so very passionate about weddings, planning, and making sure every detail is accounted for. From beginning to end, Melanie was there answering questions however random, keeping us organized, and just overall helping with the planning process. It's hard to imagine she was working on any other wedding simultaneously - that's how important we felt every single time we interacted!
The estate house is beautiful, light, airy, tastefully decorated. We had large bridal parties of 6 each with spouses stay at the house with us which is such a convenient and fun touch to have - staying right on site with no traveling for an entire weekend. The rehearsal dinner was great fun filled with our loved ones for a pizza party. The night of the wedding, the groom and I were able to stay in the Honeymoon Cottage on the property as well, offering a romantic and sweet little space of privacy!
The ceremony could not have been more dreamy with the Catskills as the backdrop. I was nervous as a bride is on her big day but not for any reasons regarding logistics issues - I knew Stonewall had it covered. Stacey is another member of the team that clearly puts her all into the smallest of details - like re-potting floral arrangements outside the estate house the morning of because they had died from a late frost. Steve is out there with a measuring tape making sure ceremony seats are perfectly placed. This team had snacks brought up from cocktail hour for us after the ceremony to have a bite to eat before the chaos of photos. Grandmothers taken down in golf carts to the reception. Every drink was refreshed and napkins fluffed at the reception for us. It was immaculate and I can't think of a single thing that went sideways. There is so much value to this venue that goes well beyond the property - and a great team of people working together to make a couple's big day the best it can is a large part of that. We can't recommend Stonewall Estate highly enough!

enue tour, our hearts were set on hosting our wedding at Stonewall Estate. The property had everything we were looking for (bonus points for the Estate House) and the mountain setting was the exact vibe we were looking for. Melanie, and the entire team at Stonewall Estate, were an absolute pleasure to work with. Melanie’s attention to detail, excellent communication and willingness to be flexible and dream with us made the planning side so much easier, and that carried over to the wedding weekend itself where we felt so very well taken care of so that we could take a step back and enjoy the celebrations completely with our family and friends.

My Husband and I got married here over the summer and it was an absolute dream come true. It’s even more beautiful in person than it is in pictures. The entire property was gorgeou...
s- the breathtaking barn, the beautiful mountain view, the estate house where our wedding party stayed, and the honeymoon suite all just made it a perfect weekend. Not to mention the catering by Stonewall at The Meredith was divine…
We got there Friday and got settled into the house. The huge fireplace, high ceilings, and beautiful kitchen we saw when we first walked in literally made our jaws drop in awe. The house was a great place with so many rooms for family and friends. The room where I got ready with my bridesmaids and mother was spacious, bright, and comfortable. There was plenty of space for makeup artist too. There’s even a nice big area where the guys got ready with a pool table, couch, TV, and mini fridge. The lighting in the entire house made for great pictures. We had the rehearsal dinner there too and it was set up, worked, and cleaned up by staff.
The Ceremony took place outside and had that iconic view in the background. The arbor, seating, and all the decor was stunning. We were a bit worried about the weather being that it was outside but Louann had a backup plan and we felt prepared for anything. Luckily the weather held out for the ceremony, pictures, and right up until everyone was in the barn for the reception.
The barn was unbelievable. You almost forget that it’s even a barn— it looked like it was right out of a movie with the big beams and chandeliers. All of the food by Stonewall at the Meredith was delicious and everyone still talks about it— especially the peach salad (appetizer) and the beef short rib (entree). The other meal options were great too. After leaving the reception through a tunnel of sparklers, we lit a big bonfire outside to wind down the night with our family and friends that were staying at the estate. My husband and I stayed in the honeymoon suite so that we could have some privacy and enjoy the rest of our first night as Husband and Wife.
I would be remiss not to give a nod to Louann for coordinating and collaborating our big day. Leading up to our wedding, she worked closely with us for months to make sure every detail was perfect and she was there the entire weekend to make sure the vision came to life. Thank you so much Louann.
I highly recommend Stonewall Estate as your wedding venue. It was perfect for us, and hope that you can experience how wonderful it is too.

re ways than one. The picturesque views that reminded us of our Italian roots, the stunning barn, the food, the farmhouse, the grounds overall, and of course the team behind it all. We said yes to Stonewall Estate that November, and had our beautiful wedding in June 2022. Although it was the coldest day of the summer, our guests had a blast, raved about the food, and best of all, my husband and I got married on the mountaintop by our cousin, and it was the most special day of our lives thus far.

I can not even begin to explain how utterly amazing both the Stonewall Estate and their Team are. Not only is the venue and its scenery the most beautiful backdrop for a rustic, ti...
meless wedding weekend celebration, the individuals who perfected everything along the way are superb. Let me start off by mentioning that I am super type A - I will not ask for help, I will do it all, and I will ensure my vision comes to light with the way I plan things in every aspect of my life- cue Louann R. I have never, ever, met a person so in-tune and consistently productive throughout our whole wedding planning process. Besides graciously rolling out dozens of recommended vendors before even booking the venue, assisting in contacting different people, ensuring that there is not a single problem from our rehearsal dinner / cocktail party on Friday through our brunch on Sunday, I don't have the words to begin to describe how flawlessly executed our wedding was because of Louann. My husband and I, along with my whole family, absolutely adored her and her team. They are not just professionals who want you to have your wedding and be gone, but they are real, grounded people who really do care about relationships between people and their Stonewall couples' happiness. Louann was available at all hours of the day and night - I had a question? Louann would answer almost immediately if she was not busy with something else, and this was for months before our wedding even happened. Everything from letting me assist in set up days before, which is not even required, their team does everything for you if requested, to making sure everything was the way we wanted it, and if not, would be fixed in a heartbeat. We would get married here a dozen times over if we had the chance. The multiple properties Stonewall has are breathtaking, and everyone who came up from LI for our wedding still graciously comments on how they never thought a "barn wedding" could be so extraordinarily classy and beautiful- but that's what this team and this property create. A huge thank you to Stonewall, Louann, and her whole team for allowing our dream wedding to take place at such a gorgeous venue that we will forever remember as the most wonderful day of our lives. I would recommend Stonewall Estate to anyone and everyone who is even thinking about it, you will certainly not be disappointed. Xo Zachary & Kaitlyn Ansbach

Pros:
The venue is amazing. The support staff is amazing. The cottage allows you to have your wedding party (or family) on site! And there's a honeymoon cottage for the bride/groom...
. So perfect!!!!! We had an outdoor ceremony with the backdrop of the mountains, but if you get rain, the barn is big enough where you don't necessarily need to order tents if the weather doesn't work out. You also get the venue for 3 days, so we did a celebration BBQ the day after the wedding!
We originally had our wedding scheduled for 2020, but because of COVID, it was pushed to 2021. Stonewall NEVER fought us on the date change and our original contract was respected (we heard horror stories from other venues where this did not happen).
We had an outside caterer for the wedding, but used Stonewall for our rehearsal dinner and for the Celebration BBQ. The food was DELICIOUS! We had several vegans that we need to accommodate, and Stonewall bent over backwards for each of our needs.
Cons:
Literally the only con is that there's a big vent system in the barn that makes a bunch of noise. We found during our speeches, it was a bit tough to hear (only during the speeches - the band we heard perfectly!). This is partly our fault as we should have asked to have it shut down just for the speeches, but we didn't want to disturb the flow of the night at that point. So if you go with Stonewall, just discuss this prior to your wedding day and based on their amazing hospitality, I'm sure they will take care of you.

wall who allowed us to still have an intimate wedding for just our families on the site. It was so special. We got to get married on our day, on the property and we had a truly magical weekend together. Then 2021 we actually had our big celebration and the staff was so accommodating, so welcoming and very helpful. The location is unbeatable and the house our bridal party stayed in is also perfect. We all talked about how we want to just rent that house out once a year. It was all so special. We are constantly recommending this venue to anyone looking for a semi destination wedding!
We had a few hiccups which I think were more covid wedding issues but none with the actual venue. We also saw this venue through owner changes and some things old owner told us we’re no longer true with new management but they did everything they could to accommodate and help.
All in all if I had to have a THRID wedding I’d do it at stonewall in a heartbeat

Where to even begin with this venue!! We got married here one month ago and our experience from start to finish could not have been better. First off, the location, view, and barn ...
itself are absolutely gorgeous- our guests cannot stop raving about how great of a time they had during their "weekend getaway". Unlike other barn venues we saw, this one has a large capacity, which was perfect for our Indian-Italian wedding! The house on premises is perfect for your close family, to enjoy one last hurrah before you tie the knot. I do have to admit it was a little nerve wrecking planning a wedding in a "raw" space which was almost 3-4 hours away from our home. This is where Rachelle and her team came to the rescue. Rachelle literally had a solution for us for any problem that arose during our planning (for example, when the horse for our Barat was pregnant, she found us alternative creative solutions!). She was attentive and responsive, even when I would reach out multiple times during the same day- my texts/calls/emails were always met with patience, kindness, and of course some humor. She went out of her way countless times including to help connect us to local vendors (including our amazing coordinator Lydia Palmer), drive around to check Airbnbs for us, and even organize last minute staff we found out we needed just the week of the wedding!! Rachelle and Lydia were the dream team that made my vision come to life. Without their constant support and ability to solve the issues that arise with planning a large scale detailed event, it would not have been possible! Overall, this venue lived up to my expectations (and more), and I could not have imagined my wedding anywhere else.

The team was incredibly helpful and jumped in wherever needed. There are always challenges at each event and Stonewall's team was very quick and graceful.

Not only do you have an amazing event space with the barn for your reception, but Stonewall Estate is the entire package - a house for your bridal party, a stunning backdrop of the Catskill Mountains, a bon fire set up by the staff for your after party, and you can even host your rehearsal dinner here if you wanted. I know I wasn't easy with thousands of questions via text/calls to Rachelle and Lydia leading up to our wedding day, but they are both professionals and answered every question I had in a timely manner, with a smile on their face. They put my mind at ease and that is the most you can hope for as a bride. I would HIGHLY recommend Stonewall Estate for your wedding weekend!! THANK YOU Rachelle, Lydia, and the entire staff at Stonewall for your help in making our dream wedding weekend come true!!

the wedding was so easy and painless because we had the chance to work with Rachelle, Cassidy, Debbie, and Lydia and the rest of the team at Stonewall. Planning a wedding CAN be stressful but Rachelle makes the process incredibly easy...So much so that we had a phrase we often used while wedding planning that “before we worry about it, let’s talk to Rachelle.” Without fail, anytime there were any potential hiccups, she was there with plan B, C or D to help us out right away. Whether it was helping find vendors or clarifying details about the wedding day or timeline she made everything SO EASY! She is incredibly responsive and her recommendations were on point every step of the way. Then came the day of the wedding and there wasn’t a single hitch the entire day (or if there was, it was handled and addressed immediately without us even knowing!). From the beautiful ceremony on the hill to the bonfire and s’mores for the afterparty, our guests all told us how unique and unforgettable their experiences were. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue and locale was and were repeatedly asked, “how did you find this place?! It’s incredible!” Having the ability to have our parents, siblings, and grandparents stay right on site with us in the huge Farmhouse made all the difference in our experience too. We were able to get ready there and have everything on site so that we did not feel the need to rush around all day and could savor and make the most of the entire weekend. We stayed in honeymoon cottage on site, and had all our guests back to the venue the next morning for brunch in the barn so that we got to enjoy it twice!

Stonewall Estate, Rachelle, Kelly and their staff are all a dream come true. As a Mother of the Bride and someone who works in the Catering industry, I was thrilled from beginning...
to the end. The setting is magical, first the huge house on the hill, that accommodated the entire Bridal Party and had everything you needed and then some. Then, the outdoor Ceremony, with a stunning mountain backdrop, the outdoor Cocktail Hour on their new patio, with Bistro lights, is the perfect setting leading into the Reception in the big red barn. They provide you with beautiful, rustic barn tables and chairs, allowing you to design the barn as you wish. A big bonfire at the end, with an After Party back on the patio. It was truly a magical experience for all of us. My daughter and her partner said it was the best day of her life, we could not be happier! Rachelle was super helpful throughout the process, answering any questions and concerns. She had great recommendations on Vendors and guided me when needed. I wish I had another child to get married, I miss Stonewall and the team already!!

I would choose Stonewall Estate over and over and over again. We just got married at the end of June 2019, my husband and I are convinced that this place was love at first sight! ...
literally! Stonewall Estate was the first venue we visited and knew instantly that no other would compare (and we were right). I trusted my instincts and I am sure glad I did. Rachelle and her team are team are epic- they make sure the bride & groom's wedding weekend is super personal and fun. They really know what works best for the venue, as well. For instance, we needed more transportation for all of my guests at the last minute- no doubt, Rachelle had solutions to everyone got back to their airbnbs smoothly!
I really cannot say enough amazing things about this venue- the ceremony view, the house, the gorgeous barn, the kick butt people.. it really is magical. Don't miss out on your dream wedding.
Thank you guys so much for the memories ! xo

es are as beautiful as they are clean and organized, and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed our wedding weekend at the Stonewall Estate.
In addition to the venue being everything we wanted, Rachelle was always there with us every step of the way to make sure every last detail was thought through and in place ahead of time. She knew about all the vendors (they all love working with her) and was always willing step in whenever needed.
We highly recommend both the Stonewall Estate and Rachelle.

Oh, Stonewall Estate. Where to begin after our glorious October wedding?
1. Location. You cannot beat it! If you are looking for that gorgeous, mountainside, upstate, small town, ...
barn, indoor and outdoor, vintage, pinterest-worthy perfection in a venue, this is it. You might think of skipping a visit because it can’t be a real wonderland, but it is.. only better! Please do yourself a favor and check it out in person. You will fall in love. We booked it the week we visited, a year and a half prior, it made that much of an impression.
2. The Benefits. Obviously, the perfect location and the gorgeous barn. What else is available? You can get a huge house which sleeps so many people. And I mean huge home. Comfortably! Want a place to get ready? The house. What a gourmet kitchen for cooking? Done. Want a honeymoon suite? Done. Want a place to take pictures? There’s at least 30 acres outside the doors. Want to host a fire pit with s’mores? Done. A cocktail or pizza night? Done. We had our wedding party get ready at the home, vendors running in and out, our large families taking photos and we never felt rushed or cramped. Also, we saved so much time without traveling to other places. You can have your ceremony, pictures, cocktails, reception, etc. all at Stonewall! Do yourself a favor and book it all weekend. We were thrilled we did.
3. More Benefits. Rachelle! The venue owner and manager. If you are looking for a venue manager who is always on call, passionate about her property, knowledgeable about weddings in general, ready and willing to answer any question, any concern, any small detail or provide local recommendations, this is your woman! Other venues did not have the level of service we encountered. Some venues in the area couldn’t even answer basic questions when we were onsite, so we didn’t trust them with our most special day or finances! From the very first meeting, Rachelle gave us her number and was there for us every. single. day. leading up to our wedding. (I was surprised by another review about cleaning after the wedding. I'm so sad that the reviewer didn’t realize that was a responsibility. For us, cleaning was in the deposit terms of our contract, so we didn't have any issues whatsoever!) Rachelle even had a small venue team the day of our wedding to take care of all property upkeep. We could not have done this wedding without Rachelle. Period.
We are still basking in the joy that was our wedding weekend. The beauty, the photos, the love surrounding us. That’s all a part of the Stonewall magic. Our guests are still calling us about how gorgeous the property was or small details like how easy it was to find or how unique and memorable it was. Also, our vendors were all able to communicate, load in and work easily with Rachelle and Stonewall - which made our lives so much easier. We cannot wait to visit again and re-live the weekend. We are happy to give a million star review to the Stonewall family and be a reference for any future couples!

First of all, this is kind of rare for vendors to review each other, usually it's the couples that rate venues BUT as wedding planners, Stonewall Estate, Rachelle and her team are ...
top notch! We LOVED being there for the first time this past weekend with a very large, detailed wedding. Rachelle was super attentive from day 1 (almost a year ago) and never pushed our constant emails and texts aside!! She had answers to every question. She even offered local drivers for our completely over the top detailed transportation for the guests and they were amazing!! Everyone in the entire area couldn't have been more helpful to us.
Look no further if you are searching an amazingly beautiful barn, breathtaking views and your own estate for the weekend!! It's truly been a perfect experience and the wedding was epic.
Whitney Events hopes to have a long lasting relationship with Rachelle and Stonewall for many years!

Rachelle and her team at Stonewall just get it - the venue is a magical destination that is breathtaking but also incredibly laid back. We had the most perfect wedding weekend poss...
ible and our 220 guests could not stop raving about the venue (despite the fact that many of them traveled internationally or from the West Coast to be there.) Leading up to the wedding, there was no favor or random request too large or obscure for Rachelle - she was so happy to help us prepare and really is a huge part of what makes Stonewall so special. Highly, highly recommend everything about the venue - especially the amazing team behind it!!!

Stonewall Estate is nothing shy of amazing! I’ve not only attended as a wedding guest but ; I’ve also gotten to work behind the scenes of two different weddings as the hairstylist ...
for two brides of stonewall estate! The beauty of this venue is unreal, every detail every decor of the venue, the staff, the two houses the wedding parties get to stay in all weekend are beyond gorgeous, the staff is amazing and the owners are so attentive to the bride and grooms needs, they know how to make everyone feel comfortable and important and happy the whole time! Including the vendors ! I recommend this venue to anyone I know who’s getting married ! You can’t beat the view , the staff, the owners and the pure beauty of Stonewall estate is one of a kind!

My (now) husband and I were looking for a barn wedding in the Catskill Mountains. The Stonewall Estate was still under construction when we visited but we had high hopes of what it...
could be. The fact that we would have the whole weekend to use the venue where most only give you about 6 hours was a big reason we loved Stonewall Estate. They also provided a gorgeous house on site with 5 bedrooms, a master suite, and a separate "game room" or man cave for the groomsmen. There was also a honeymoon suite on site as well. The barn is very large and can fit up to 400 guests. Overall we were happy with the venue itself but were very disappointed when it came to many other things, mainly the lack of communication, the day-of coordinator, help during the weekend, and cleaning up. Leading up to my wedding, I felt the my emails and questions were either not being answered at all or much later. This become stressful as there were questions to things I needed answers to that I felt I was not getting. The day-of coordinator was just throw in that day without any prior notice and began asking me scheduling questions in the middle of our family pictures (as we were already running behind). That didn't seem to help with the schedule as nothing seemed to go as planned anyway and my photographer needed to jump in and help coordinate. To be honest, I was very stressed majority of my wedding because our schedule was falling apart and I had to help manage the whole day without any help from the venue staff. When I am paying a lot for this one very important day, I would expect to not have to manage and coordinate my own wedding. The day before the wedding, my family was helping to set up our own DIY decorations and move tables and chairs etc. and I would have expected more help from staff at the venue with this or at least have the coordinator meet me the day before to go over the schedule instead of in the middle of pictures the day of. Lastly, after the wedding, my family had to stay the next day to clean the house we stayed in or they were told I would be fined. Again, if I am paying a large fee to use the venue, I would assume something as simple as having a cleaning crew clean the house would be included in the venue price. I felt so bad that my family had to clean when this should have been a celebratory weekend for them to enjoy with me. Overall the venue is beautiful and has a nice backdrop of the mountains but I feel the staff needs to be more proactive with their communication and day-of planning. This could be simply because they are a new venue. If you are looking for a beautiful, large barn wedding in the mountains with plenty of room for your wedding party or family to stay with you for the weekend -definitely check this place out. I would just recommend hiring your own wedding planner or be sure to have enough help that weekend to make sure everything else runs smoothly!

l dream and the view is even more beautiful, if that’s possible. Not only is this place magic but the people that work there are amazing. Rachelle helped us with everything, every step of the way. Her and her staff went above and beyond to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect for us. From our rehearsal dinner on the patio with the lights to the ceremony with the stunning view and that barn (omg the barn is what dreams are made of) I would not have changed one thing. It was hands down the best weekend of our lives and there wasn’t one person that attended that didn’t compliment the venue and how incredible Rachelle and her team are. Because of this venue and the amazing people there, our day is something that we will never forget. We are so grateful for them and the incredible weekend we spent there!!!

My husband and I got married at Stonewall at the end of July. It was...completely perfect. From the first time we met Rachelle (when she completely saved our butts when our car was...
stuck in a snow mound in the middle of a freezing winter day) we knew this was the place for us to get married. Not only are the ground completely stunning, but the Stonewall staff and crew are unbelievable. It was the most organized, yet laid back weekend. Rachelle always made herself available and was a comforting presence the whole weekend. She made you feel right at home. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about the weekend. Thank you for helping to create the most memorable weekend of our lives, Stonewall Estate! So much love, Brian and Ally

Stonewall Estate is Magic. That might sound outrageous, but consider this. The venue sits atop the most gorgeous stretch of mountains, offers everything one could possibly dream up...
for a full wedding weekend (from rehearsal dinner to goodbye brunch), and is run by two amazingly talented women: Rachelle and Cassidy. I first saw a photograph of Stonewall while I was researching venues and I thought, "There's no way this is real. No place is this beautiful." I was wrong. It exists. From start to finish, the entire process of preparing for our wedding with Rachelle was stellar. She's a great communicator and fielded every one of my 100,000,000 questions without blinking an eye. No task was too big for her and no obstacle too daunting. Cassidy, also our photographer, NAILED our wedding photographs with talent and ease. I could go on and on about how perfect our rehearsal BBQ on the property was, and later s'mores around the campfire with friends, or how the clouds parted and the sun shone down on us during our ceremony and we were in The Most Perfect Place on The Best Day of Our Lives - but I feel the following story might better exemplify how magical Stonewall truly is. My mother wasn't exactly hyped on us getting married "in the woods." She would periodically question our decision to book Stonewall. The day after the wedding she called me and excitedly proclaimed she wanted to return to Stonewall every year on our anniversary to celebrate!! BOOK STONEWALL. You will be thanking yourself for that decision for the rest of our lives.

achelle and Cassidy were wonderful to work with every step of the way (book Cassidy/Thompson Photography Group as your wedding photographer - they are so talented, and know the property inside and out!). On a personal note, being a same-sex couple, it was important to us to have a BIG and BEAUTIFUL, celebration of our love in a setting where our families were able to actually spend time with, and get to know our friends and community, and a full wedding weekend at Stonewall was the perfect opportunity to make this happen! Book your dream wedding weekend at Stonewall!!!!!!!

top of that, Rachelle was absolutely priceless in terms of her support throughout the entire process. Answering countless questions (sometimes multiple times when I forgot I already asked...) troubleshooting things together, and working her magic to help get us every single thing we needed. Her venue continues to evolve and is truly a reflection of all the love that has passed through it from each event. We can not recommend enough! xoxo

What can I say about this beautiful venue? Besides the fact that the entire venue including the barn, estate and carriage house are all absolutely stunning, the venue manager/owne...
r is also exceptional as well.
I only had to see this venue once to know it was the place I wanted to get married in. The deciding factor however, was Rachelle (owner). Her down to earth personality and easiness did it for me. You can tell she had so much love for this place and her job and really left it up to the couple to decide on whether or not they wanted to book. We decided to book a 3 day weekend and had zero regrets. The home was beautifully large and accommodating and all the guests raved about just how amazing the living space and barn was. It was so spacious and full of windows and light. We had complete trust in the venue and staff that the whole weekend was an open door policy. Vendors and all necessary people came as they needed to and I never felt like I was intruded on. Everyone just knew what to do. As a bride, you spend all this time planning and delegating and emailing, etc.. you want to make sure every single detail is covered. Rachelle had given her recommendations for vendors, many which didn’t have these online reviews or instagrams that I could glance over. She just said trust me they are amazing and I did. On the day of, I let go of everything and let the vendors and staff take care of everything. I just got ready and got married and partied, they really took care of everything else. Rachelle was with us until the final shuttle send off. She was available the next morning when we were having our farewell brunch. SHE WAS THERE- for everything!
Our wedding was such a great turnout that I have been asked to do it all over again- and again. The guests absolutely loved everything about it, including their drive to Delhi and the towns and Airbnb’s they were staying in. They were most impressed about the beauty of Stonewall Estate. Trust me, the place is so beautiful I did not have to do much to it. Please use their onsite vendors! It was great to have their on site florist there and available for the whole weekend.
I wish for all future brides to really enjoy this place as much as I did. It is truly a unique space with the most amazing people. Near or far, definitely a wonderful venue to consider.

is gorgeous and could accommodate all of our family, the barn is a dream and comfortably held our 200+ guests, and the staff made the entire process so easy. Rachelle was willing to go above and beyond to help us create our dream wedding and always made things fun. Connor and the rest of the crew made sure I didn't have to lift a finger from set-up to clean-up. I would get married here one hundred times over!

My wife (still crazy to say that) Kelly and I had the pleasure of getting married at Stonewall Estate a little less than a week ago. We had signed a contract with Stonewall over a ...
year ago, and watching the transformation of the barn and property has been incredible. Rachelle and her staff are meticulous in their detail, from early days of planning, to the execution of the wedding. We must have visited the property 10 times over the last 16 months, each time greeted by Rachelle with a smile, and fun new details about the evolution of the barn, house, and property.
The barn itself is beautifully groomed with breathtaking beams, chandeliers, farm tables + chairs, and the perfect touches sprinkled throughout. One of the nicest things we found about our experience at Stonewall was… you’re not just being put through the wedding factory… it’s a unique space, and a place you can truly make your own.
As well as the barn, the property holds a beautiful house, where we stayed during the wedding weekend, along with 20 other family and friends. Having the people we hold dearest just steps away was invaluable, and only made the weekend that much more special. The house itself is gorgeous, with modern finishes, and an elegance that matched the barn. It holds a beautiful bridal suite and master bedroom, as well as a chefs kitchen, which opens onto the living room with an open concept, and 30 foot ceilings! The house also has large game room above the garage which was able to hold me and my 13 groomsmen easily.
We never once felt like visitors in the space, and Rachelle had a lot to do with that. She brought our vision to life, treated our guests with kindness and respect, hired a Rockstar team to be her eyes and ears, and helped us execute the best day of our lives.
Nothing but high praises for Stonewall Estate – we love it there!
Oh yea, and the views which go for days into the Catskill mountains didn’t stink either!

My husband and I just got married at Stonewall Estate and couldn’t have been happier with the entire wedding weekend. We chose Stonewall Estate after visiting the venue during its ...
construction phase. We were blown away by the views, and completely satisfied with the vision Rachelle had for the space. We were on the same page in terms of the potential for the property and felt it was the best fit for our weekend. We had been looking for a venue that captured the beauty of the mountains, with amenities that an upscale venue would have, complete with a home for a wedding party or family. Rachelle and her entire staff did not disappoint. The home is beautifully decorated and has the essentials any bride and groom may need (large master retreat , bathroom, and walk in closet complete with a steamer for any last minute touch ups you may need!) the honeymoon cottage of the property is a perfect getaway, which still being on the property and close to “the action” Rachelle and her staff work tirelessly to ensure the property is beautiful groomed and the barn space is set to impress. The barn itself has the perfect balance of rustic charm and elegance with its stunning chandeliers and expansive feel. Many of our guests came up to us saying it was the most beautiful and most unique venue they have ever been to. Rachelle, thank you so much for helping out vision come to life!

My daughter, Julie, was married here in the last week of May (2018). What a beautiful place and excellent staff!!!
The backdrop is one for majestic pictures to remember forever; t...
he facilities are kept in perfect order and (I hate to use this word again but . . .) perfect cleanliness!
We thought it might be a little too hot that evening during the reception but the staff kept the temperature absolutely correct throughout the evening. The sound was for speeches, talks, and entertainment was able to be heard in every corner of the reception clearly but loudly without distortion.
And if you had any questions about how your evening was going, a staff member was always there to help you with a sincerely happy disposition to answer your every need!
I admit that a number of people attending the wedding thought it was a little out of the way but at the end of the evening, it was said by most that this wedding was one of the best they have ever attended. I think all of us wish we knew more people who would get married here so we could get an invitation (and if I was now to give a review of the accommodations for the bridal party that are on site, you would have to read twice as much more with twice the glowing review!!!).
One very happy dad!

Honestly, if I lived in this state when I got married, I would've had my wedding here! The location is picturesque. The house next to the reception area is the perfect spot for you...
r bridesmaids to spend the day getting ready and have no idea where the groomsmen were (probably upstairs playing pool!). It was absolutely perfect for an outdoor wedding or even indoor if it had rained.
Thank you Stonewall Estate for helping my sister (Julie C's) wedding be perfect!!!

It’s taken me awhile to write this review because I’m worried that I won’t ever be able to find the correct words to describe what an unbelievably amazing wedding we had here. Ther...
e was not one single issue – everything was 100% perfect from the time we saw the venue to AFTER the wedding when the rental company was calling to track down some missing items (they weren’t missing, and Rachelle jumped right on it and had it solved for us in minutes). Rachelle was on top of everything we needed from beginning to end. She had so many vendor suggestions, lists of Airbnbs to pass on to our guests, restaurant recommendations for our stay… anything we needed or needed to know, she was right there with answers.
We first saw the venue in late 2016 before construction was completed. They were still putting floors into the barn, finishing up landscaping, working on the honeymoon suite house, etc., but the sheer beauty and stillness of the property spoke for itself. Not on that, the woman showing us the property (Lori) was SO welcoming, kind, and easy to talk to that we fell in love with what we hoped would be an entire experience. We had been to other venues where the people were very strict and we felt like we were being treated like a number – not an excited bride and groom – and that was a big turn off for us. You want to feel like you’re surrounded by family and loved ones on your wedding day, and you want to feel like everyone working with you to put your day together cares about it as much as you do, and that’s the experience Stonewall gave us.
(NOT TO MENTION the money we saved in the end! The site fee seems like a lot at first glance, but there is so much that comes along with it. By the end of the wedding night, both sets of parents couldn’t stop talking about what a steal this venue was. There is no way we could've had all we had for the price we had it at any other venue.)
My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams here. We had an even greater experience than we expected to have, fell in love with the Stonewall family AND the town of Delhi, and we never wanted it to end. It’s been about three weeks since our wedding and we still ask each other throughout the day if we’ll ever get to the point where we’re not gushing about how amazing our wedding was. This day will live on in our hearts and memories for the rest of our lives, and we would not have chosen anyplace in the world other than Stonewall.
Have. Your. Wedding. Here. Trust me: it will be the best decision you ever make.

chelle and her crew (special shout out to Connor) are unbelievable. They go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Rachelle really listened to to our vision for the weekend and made sure we had everything we wanted and needed. She gave us great recommendations for catering (Cowboy BBQ and Phantom Chef) and photography (Cassidy with Thompson Photography). She stays super calm and practical at every twist and turn- especially with weather- and had creative solutions when needed. The property itself has a transformative feel that makes for stunning wedding photos (even in the rain). Definitely a special place!!!

Getting married here was easy, fun, beautiful, and unforgettable. If you're at all on the fence about this place, just go ahead and book it.
