From the moment we toured The Country House at Bluestone, we knew it was something truly special. Between the stunning ballroom and bridal suite, gorgeous formal garden, sweeping g...olf course views, and comprehensive wedding package, the venue encompassed everything we could have envisioned for our wedding day.
On the morning of our wedding, we were met with a rainy forecast, though the afternoon looked promising. The Bluestone staff came fully prepared with a backup indoor ceremony setup, and once the weather cleared, they quickly dried the outdoor seating and helped our florist move all of the décor back into the formal garden. Their flexibility and efficiency made the entire transition seamless and stress-free.
Cocktail hour felt straight out of Bridgerton. Between the passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations, endless drinks, and our highly-photographed “JAWN” ice sculpture, guests were blown away. Dinner was equally incredible, with salads, four entrée choices, endless desserts, late-night donuts, and the passed chipwhiches that everyone raved about.
What made the experience even more unforgettable was the staff. From the very beginning, everyone was warm, genuine, and welcoming—it felt less like working with vendors and more like being welcomed by longtime friends.
We especially cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle Coyle-Shank, our sales and event specialist. She was the bubbliest, brightest guiding light throughout the entire planning process. Every question, idea, and anxious moment was met with honesty, reassurance, enthusiasm, and endless support. From our initial tour to milestone meetings, emails, and texts, Michelle consistently went above and beyond to make us feel excited and cared for every step of the way.
What stood out most was how personal she made the experience. She remembered so many little details we mentioned wanting to incorporate that she would even send inspiration whenever she found something she thought we’d love. Right before I walked down the aisle, she was there hyping me up and calming my nerves, which perfectly reflects the kind of person she is.
The day-of staff, including Ashley and our bridal attendants, Emily and Emma ("the Ems"!), were everyone's best friends! They were all incredibly professional, attentive, detail-oriented and made sure we were always taken care of. "The Ems" were our true personal hype team, fitting in easily with the entire wedding party and especially getting pumped up with the groomsmen right before the ceremony! These ladies were always behind-the-scenes, but never far away. "The Ems" took care of every little detail from ensuring my train was fluffed and hair was secured, to putting drinks in our hands after the ceremony, bringing us hors d'oeuvres in the bridal suite, and quickly aided one of my bridesmaids with bustling my gown. You can tell they love what they do, and this isn't just a job for them. I couldn't hug them enough at the end of the night—they went above and beyond the entire day!
If you’re touring wedding venues, run to The Country House at Bluestone. You will not be disappointed, and your guests will be raving about it long after the wedding is over. Our May 2026 wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and we are endlessly grateful to the entire Bluestone team for making it so unforgettable.
