Country club, yes... but are you looking for your wedding venue? Congrats - you've just found it! My wife and I were married at StoneWater and we have nothing but fantastic things ...to say. Before we dive in, here are some details about our wedding so you have an idea of what we experienced:
- We hosted about 170 guests comfortably
- We selected some vendors from StoneWater's preferred vendor lists for discounts
- We highly recommend a room block at the Hyatt at Legacy (a preferred vendor) since they provide free shuttling of guests, convenient location to SW, and guests enjoy the bars/restaurants within Legacy Village during their stay
- StoneWater sets up TWO bars (so no waiting in line for a drink at reception!)
- We got lucky with the weather and had our ceremony outside, but the inside is beautiful and they flip the space depending on the weather day-of without issue
- Free complimentary round of golf (a great bachelor party event!)
OK - our review:
Firstly, huge shoutout to Kristin and Whitney who manage and coordinate the event space. They are both very nice, friendly, informative, and ultimately really have their sh*t together. The best part about this venue is that they also act as your planning "partner" (not to be confused with an outside wedding planner). If you feel like a wedding planner isn't your style or isn't in your budget, you won't need one if you work with Kristin and Whitney. They coordinated with our outside vendors to ensure a smooth process and left the worrying entirely to them on the day of. The hardest part was booking our own vendors, which isn't all that difficult anyways! They also were very accommodating of our requests throughout planning, including last minute guest list changes, graphic design help, outside vendor communications, and always provided their experienced-based suggestions for times we felt we were in over our heads.
Secondly, the food and drink options are very extensive and just as delicious. We got to try every single thing on the menu before committing to our dinner package. They were highly accommodating for every guests' dietary restrictions and they can work with you if you want to supplement their menu options with outside food services. The food here is plated, not buffet style, which is what we wanted. They also pass around appetizers during cocktail hour which is a nice touch.
Thirdly, we did not have to set up a single thing for the event. They set up all the dining tables and chairs, ceremony chairs, and all of the decor that went along with. We simply dropped off the decor items the day beforehand, told them where everything needed to be, and they took care of it all. StoneWater also provided a variety of colored linens to choose from for the tablecloths and napkins, which they also set up. In other words, no spending your wedding day putting things up yourself or having your family members do it!
Lastly, and most importantly, Krisin and Whitney truly and genuinely made this day enjoyable for us and everyone involved. We can't stress enough how NOT stressed we were. When you enjoy yourself on your wedding day, everyone else enjoys themselves too, and this was evidenced by the efforts Kristin and Whitney take to ensure a well-coordinated event. StoneWater was the perfect venue, and all because Whitney and Kristin are the most badass event hosts who truly want to make your day special. Don't pass this place up!!!!!
