Diane

Owner

Tom and I have lived in Virginia for almost 30 years raising our three children. As empty nesters, we decided it was time to leave the corporate world and get back to nature so we decided to raise cattle. Tom was raised in the country and Diane has loved the Shenandoah Valley since she was a young girl. When our daughter-in-law wanted to get married on our property, we realized that we had the perfect location for weddings. Now we share this piece of the Shenandoah Valley with happy couples that want to start their journey together in this beautiful location.

You cannot go wrong with this venue. First of all, the venue itself is breathtaking. I’m not kidding when I say some of our photos look photoshopped, the backdrops from every angle...

are truly that gorgeous. I think it is impossible to get a bad photo at this venue. But the main reason that we loved this venue is the owners- Diane and her husband Tom. From the first time we visited, it felt like Diane was on our team. She truly went above and beyond to make our day special. From little things like making sure she had our timeline should something happen with our coordinator, to lending items, suggesting things based on past weddings, adding lights to the lawn so we could use our games at night, and even helping solve personal problems that arose. I warned every vendor that my mom would spend the whole night running around and trying to do everything that needed doing, but after our wedding she told me that she loved Diane and needed to leave her a review herself because she could truly sit down and relax. That’s how on top of everything Diane is. She truly paid attention to every single detail and took responsibility of so many things that went above and beyond. If you’re considering Stoneyman Valley Ranch, just do it! You will not regret it.

15/10! Stoneyman Valley Ranch is not only magically, beautiful, but the owner, Diane, and her husband, Tom, go out of there way to ensure your day goes smoothly. First Diane is so ...

kind and up front about everything. She’s thorough with the ins and outs of the day of. She also gives her professional advice as needed and helps to guide the do’s and don’t’s! Our month before the ceremony meeting, Diane made sure to go over every detail with us. The day before during set up, she ensured we had everything we needed! The day of, she helped with anything and everything. From parking to getting the photographer and DJ ready. I cannot express how much of a pleasure this venue and its owners are. The price is amazing too! The venue is a one stop shop that includes tables, chairs, dancefloor, bathrooms, and so much decor that Diane will let you borrow the day of. My day would not have gone so smoothly without Stoneyman. As an October bride, the views were unmatched! It was so stunning! My guests raved about the beauty of the view but also the barn itself! Cannot recommend this venue enough.

ff the backdrop for the wedding ceremony. The country setting included rolling hills, a great looking barn, and the spectacular mountains of the Shenandoah National Park. Of course, the weather and lighting were PERFECT as well. Even though I was working, I truly enjoyed my time here. In fact, EVERYONE had a great time here. Diane and Tom Hirsch owners of this venue are SUPER FRIENDLY and PROFESSIONAL.They went out of their way to make the wedding day enjoyable, stress free, and PERFECT for the couple! In fact, Tom drove us to the top of the hill to film and photograph sunset footage with the bride and groom. He pulled out his phone and played the couples favorite song while they slow danced in the field! It was one great moment of many! I could go on, but hopefully you get my point by now. You will have AMAZING views, DELICIOUS food, and IMPECCABLE service! Stoneyman Valley Ranch will NOT disappoint! I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to film there! Oh....and just to tease you with the beauty of the location, I have attached a screenshot from my aerial DRONE footage! See...I told you!!!

Spectacular Venue My daughter got married during the Covid-19 pandemic August 15, 2020 and Diane did everything right. She provided hand sanitizer and made sure we had everyth...

ing we needed to keep everyone safe. I highly recommend this venue because we were allowed to make all the decisions for making the perfect wedding for my daughter and son in law, use the dance floor, have a cookie table, etc...It was very affordable with no hidden fees, very spacious and so beautiful. The rain prevented us from having the ceremony outside, but Diane and her crew quickly made the switch at the last minute and pulled it off in 15 minutes. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, always responded quickly by phone and email, had a spread sheet with all the information that we needed, gave us great suggestions, it was like having a personal wedding planner. She made sure everything went smoothly. She also has some decorations and drink dispensers which we used at no extra cost. They provided all the tables and very nice chairs, dance floor, bar, linens, plates, silverware, fire pit, changing area for bride and groom, clean bathrooms, and beautiful scenery for photos.

ble to take from the lookout were beautiful. Diane and Tom were amazing - we took a leap of faith in booking the venue before construction had finished but they exceeded every expectation we had. They were very responsive to any questions or concerns we shared in the lead up to the wedding and they were always within earshot on the day to help where needed. The barn is absolutely beautiful inside. The barn doors made the perfect backdrop for our rainy ceremony! The guests were blown away by how amazing the venue looked. We opted to have our guests stay in Harrisonburg (go Dukes!) but it was a fairly short and very scenic drive to the venue. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Luray / Harrisonburg area!

Highly recommend this beautiful wedding venue! Our daughter, Katie, had her wedding at Stoneyman Valley Ranch at the end of October and it turned out that hers was the first event...

held at this brand new venue in Luray, VA. We were delighted with the way everything turned out. Katie and her fiancé wanted an outdoor ceremony in a beautiful, rural setting. Stoneyman Valley Ranch is located below Skyline Drive with beautiful views of the mountains and farmland all around. There are a few options for the ceremony site and they chose to have theirs in front of a small stream that runs behind the newly built barn with the rolling hills in the background. The owners, Diane and Tom, provided a beautiful arbor and ensured that the area was nicely groomed. They also provided golf-cart rides to elderly attendees for the short ride from the parking lot to the seating area. The barn was specifically built to host receptions and they put a lot of thought into all the details. There is a nice room for the bride and her attendants to get ready and the loft is the perfect spot for the groom's party to hang out before the ceremony. The chandelier and drop lighting in the barn helped create an elegant atmosphere for the reception and the chandeliers are visible from the road as guests arrive. We requested setup for 170 guests. With 17 large, round tables, there was plenty of room for buffet-style food service, a gift table, cake table, appetizers and a favor table. The floor is smooth concrete with a beautiful wood dance floor that easily accommodated our crowd. We were given plenty of time to decorate the day before and the owners offered suggestions and helped us get everything in place even when we had some last minute changes. Diane, Tom and their family went out of their way to make sure Katie and Keagan's wedding went smoothly and according to their vision. Any issues that cropped up were taken care of immediately without the bride or the guests knowing. Diane and Tom have shared some of their future plans for the venue, and we think Stoneyman Valley Ranch will quickly become the most popular wedding venue in the Luray area. We look forward to visiting again in a couple of years to see what they've added. Lastly, Luray is a great place to get married. Plenty to do in the area if your guests like outdoor activities and want to make a weekend of it. Close enough to Baltimore and DC for a weekend destination wedding.
