Stonewall Golf Club

!

t aware and it was handled. Every time we turned around after the ceremony, someone from the venue was checking on us. Our drinks were never empty and our wedding party was taken care of as well! The grounds are beautiful and make our pictures 10 times better! 10/10 would recommend this gorgeous venue for your wedding!

re process. I also had the pleasure to meet Savannah closer to my wedding date who made sure I was organized the entire wedding day. I did not stress at all thanks to these two. Also the venue is absolutely beautiful! My guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony and reception areas were. Also the food was sooo good! I received so many compliments from my guests about their entrees. Don’t look any further than Stonewall Golf Club!

touring at the time, wouldnt even let us see the venue but they not only let us come, we were able to eat lunch, look around and she talked us through the normal process. Later on, Sam left and Sarah took her place and Sarah was also really really great. We loved her and we were really looking forward to the wedding and seeing her in action because she was so great. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, Sarah was incapacitated the Thursday before our Saturday wedding and i was still trying to be positive. Although i was worried, we still had our even coordinator and Sandy assured me that everything would still go according to plan. This is why i can’t in good conscience give a 5 star review- we made it to the location we had agreed numerous times that we would take photos immediately after arriving. The photographer got lost so we were a little late to start, but Lasandre, the day-of substitute point person almost flat out refused to let us use the golf carts, he spent 15-20 minutes just telling us that we couldnt use the golf carts to go take pictures and by the time we did get them it started raining. I think thats the most upsetting part of this whole experience, that i got probably a small handful of photos from the location that we discussed would have the majority of our photos taken from. Had our wedding coordinator not taken such meticulous notes, we probably wouldn't have any posed photos at all. Even that morning when i showed up and nobody was there (i had to go in through the side door and unlock the doors for the makeup artist to come in as well as my bridesmaids), the golf shop manager, bless his heart, i think his name was Matt- we told him nothing we agreed on had been set out to get dressed and he was so sweet. He was in there doing his best to make coffee for me and i just want him to know how much i appreciated that. I truly hope that whoever they find as the new coordinator is just as flexible and accommodating as Sam, Sarah, Matt and Sandy because if they are anything like Lasandre, i think that they are in big trouble moving forward.

hat we were comfortable, and happy. Our guests raved about the venue, especially the beautiful views of the golf course and lake, as well the natural light that flooded the reception room. The waiters and bartenders made the guests feel welcome, and added to their overall dining experience! Thank you Stonewall for making our day so memorable!

like my voice was heard by Samantha and that she was doing her best to get us exactly what we envisioned. She offers every bit of help you could ask for. She even helped me figure out how to write a day-of timeline. I have literally nothing to complain about. Thank you so much Samantha!

rictions. Until the moment we decided to cancel, Sam went above and beyond to ensure all of the details we visioned for our Saturday brunch wedding would be a reality (including making herself available by 6:00 a.m. to open the doors for us the day-of)! Working with Sam is a pleasure as you prepare for wedding day!

onewall Gold Club and Samantha Bishop came to our rescue and became our heroes to allow us to get married on our day at their venue. We called them in tears after learning the news of our original venue. Within a day we were under contract and Samantha jumped to make this wedding exactly what we had wanted even down to offering the same meals our guest had picked to eat at our original venue. The staff was very professional and made all our guest feel comfortable. Sandy the chef created master pieces and everyone raved how wonderful all the food was from the appetizers, chicken piccata and filet minion to our late night eats. Samantha even offered her staff to help with us zooming our wedding to allow relatives not able to cross state boarders be a part of our day. We also did a brunch there the morning after the wedding and guest raved about the food, especially their famous bacon. I encourage every Bride and Groom to check out this venue if in the market for a great venue where everything will be taken care of down to the little details allowing you to enjoy your day! Thank you to all Stonewall Golf Club staff for making Andrew and my day so special and perfect! Ashley and Andrew Blanford

prior that is was cancelled. Stonewall was the initial desired venue but the original guest list quantity had us go elsewhere. This was of course prior to the pandemic which reduced the quantity quite a bit. Upon receiving the call we immediately called Stonewall and within a day we were able to book and they were flexible to recreate the entire planned event schedule. The event was exceptional from the adherence to set schedule by Samantha (event coordinator who was wonderful the few day leading up to the event through the celebration), Greg (Manager) for ensuring adequate staffing with friendly and highly qualified staff and Sandy (Chef) in overlooking the preparation of all the appetizers and dinners that all in attendance raved about. My wife and I might be a little biased since we frequent this establishment frequently but the feedback from all those in attendance confirmed our experience. We would like to thank the entire staff for an outstanding event and would highly recommend others making plans for upcoming events to reach out to Stonewall see what they have to offer and sample something out of Sandy’s kitchen.

the area for some timeless photos. We enjoyed the food a lot, and everything is reasonably priced and you're allowed some flexibility with packages. The main issue we had, and the reason we docked this place two stars, is because of Samantha. She was responsive at first and very accommodating. She answered our questions and is a very type A person who seemed on top of everything. However, as the months passed on she got harder and harder to get in touch with. When we needed to decide on packages and give lists and ask questions, she would often take WEEKS to respond back. We tried emails, follow up emails, phone calls to the club, to her office phone, even going there IN PERSON to see if we could catch her. This would be two months before the wedding. We tried to chalk it up to just being a busy wedding season, we understand it can be a lot to handle. When we got to be about two weeks out from the wedding we were at our wits end and ended up sending a rather terse email to her expressing our frustration; that got a response pretty quickly. She worked with us outside of normal hours to make up for her lack of response. We appreciated that. We were able to get everything in to her, and work out who would focus on what during the day of with our day-of coordinator/florist. The responses would take a few days. The day of the wedding came and everything seemed to be going smoothly, at least from my part. I was stuck in the bridal suite all day, we were able to order coffee, water, pastries, and lunch to be served in the bridal suite which was very nice. It wasn't until after the wedding that I learned of some of the other issues that occurred. Prior to guest arrival while family was setting up the reception area, Samantha was not helping set up, she was giving a tour of the venue to presumably an interested couple. Because there wasn't much help available, my parents had to employ the help of my grandparents, guests, to help them and our day-of coordinator to help decorate. Next, we were told by Samantha during the inquiry that the golfing hole right in front of the terrace would be closed at least during the ceremony. However, this hole was not closed off, and we do indeed have random golfers in our ceremony photos. Our photographer did an excellent job so it's not that big of a deal to us, but it's still annoying because they were there and a little distracting. The instructions left by our baker were not read. Our cake baker made several small cakes. Samantha questioned why there were so many cakes and had them all thrown into the freezer. They were pound cakes and needed to be thawed before serving. We all sat waiting in the magnolia room for a considerable amount of time because the cakes were too hard to be cut properly. The cake was served cold and was still hard. Samantha otherwise made sure everything else ran smoothly, but I do think a majority of that was due to our day-of coordinator being one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. Overall, I think the venue and the pricing itself is worth it, I'm not sure if our experience with Samantha was a one-off thing. Our day was absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly, but make sure you're on top of communication and are diligent.

ful! She was so helpful with answering all of our questions and making sure we had everything we needed for our special day. I cannot thank her and the staff enough for executing perfectly on our wedding day!

hings well. Erin was the next level person we dealt with after the initial sale. The venue itself looks nice, but if you look closely it has some age spots. We asked for one particularly cloudy door (they have doors off the main ballroom that are mostly glass) to be moved from directly behind the sweetheart table so it would be out of most of the photos. Stonewall was able to accommodate this which was awesome. Basically, the planning process with them went well. I don't have any complaints about the run-up to the event. Erin was very responsive to my questions and requests. The day of the event had a few unexpected misses. Mainly, someone had left the door to the ballroom open the entire day of the wedding (reception started at 3:30ish). We were told it was someone who had been in the restaurant earlier. It was a pretty warm September day and with all the people in the ballroom, it got HOT in there. We asked about turning the air conditioning on and were told that it was on and there was nothing that could be done to cool the place down. It was hot the entire reception, people were going outside to cool down :/ I understand that it takes a while to cool a ballroom, but someone at the venue should have been responsible for making sure the doors weren't left open before a large event. OR it's possible their air conditioning doesn't work great. Either way, having sweating guests put a damper on things. One other weird thing was that the salads literally only consisted on spinach and walnuts. I could have sworn there was supposed to be cheese on there per the menu selected, but the salads looked sad. This may all be in a bride's head but while Erin seemed super bubbly in the lead up to the wedding, she seemed kind of sour day of. Not sure if the people in my wedding annoyed her by asking about the heat or what, but it kind of goes back to their customer service falling apart. They started strong but the day of, the most important day, was very meh. So, if this is all your budget allows, it works. From my experience, just tread carefully when it comes to getting what you asked for. And please, if it's hot out, make sure no one leaves the door open before your event starts :)

ore of my meal. My new husband and I are planning to visit the brass cannon to eat sometime. All the windows in the reception area shows the beautiful view of Lake Manassas and does not need much decorations !!

Jeanna (sales manager) and Jennifer (catering manager) were both so sweet and so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process! They were extremely professional, organized, responsive, and were patient in answering all of my many questions along the way- not to mention, they were amazingly flexible and accommodating! On the wedding day, Jennifer was so calm and absolutely on top of everything! Thanks to her, the entire reception flowed perfectly! I never had to ask where anything was or stress about the schedule because she had every detail covered! Before the reception, she set up all of our decorations (picture frames, drink signs, bathroom baskets, table numbers…. etc, etc….) which was such a HUGE help-- and I was so impressed with how nice she made everything look! When my husband and I arrived at the reception, she had drinks waiting for us (ahhh…. thanks Jennifer!) Like many brides and grooms, we spent most of the cocktail hour taking pictures—not only did Jennifer bring us drinks and hors d’oeuvres while we were getting our pictures taken, she also left a plate with a sampling of all of the hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table so we could actually enjoy all of the food we had chosen for the reception (oh, and a doggy bag to take home for late night munchies)! Speaking of hors d’oeuvres —our guests STILL rave about how delicious they all were! After all the toasts… special dances… and cake cutting were done, I was actually a little sad when it was time for Jennifer to leave—she played such an important part in making that day so special (and stress-free!) for my husband and me—and we are both so grateful to her for that! I would highly recommend Stonewall and their exceptional staff to any bride-to-be!

guests loved how they could go outside and enjoy the scenery. Stonewall was the perfect place for our wedding,thank you so much!!

at I didn't need a planner. I would recommend using Stonewall for a reception!!

ds(which I forgot)at the last minute. Amazing experience and I would definitely recommend this site. Not only fantastic staff (Genna, the site manager was just wonderful and her patience was crucial) but also a fantastic scenery and beautiful grounds. Thank you sooo much Stonewall for an amazing wedding experience!!

orgeous so a lot of extra decoration isn't necessary. Can't say enough good things!

e. My only negative review would be the rain backup plan if it rains. Unless you want to pay extra to rent the Brass Canon then your ceremony will be in the ballroom where some of your guests will have to watch from their seats. We were thankful it did not rain and are really happy we choose SGC for our venue.

r (the catering manager) were both very helpful and helped to coordinate everything beginning months in advance. We were on a budget but did not have to sacrafice quality one bit. The convenience of using one venue for both our ceremony and reception was important to us and are so happy we chose Stonewall. We got many compliments about the venue from our guests and our pictures on the course turned out amazing! My husband even got two free rounds of golf by booking our wedding at Stonewall.

le rain. It ended up not raining until after the reception. They had good intentions but I felt sorry for our guests who thought they arrived on time and actually walked in mid ceremony.
