Our experience at Stone House was perfect from beginning to end. Michelle heard every concern we had, treated us like actual royalty, and responded to every email within 5 minutes. Day of the wedding was flawless, mostly because Amalia, my bridal attendant, was there to help every time I turned around and Frank, our maitre’d, did everything from literally sowing me into my dress to standing in the rain to make sure I didn’t get a drop on me before walking down the aisle. The day of our wedding was legitimately perfect and incredibly stress free. Michelle stayed true to her every word, and we have already received compliments from over 40+ guests about how incredible the food was and that this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. If you can afford it, you won’t regret picking Stone House.

When we walked into Stone House we immediately knew this was where we wanted to get married and then it was confirmed that this was the place for us when we met Michelle. Planning a wedding with Michelle was so seamless! From the beginning she was beyond helpful recommending vendors and helping us make decisions. She was extremely communicative and answered all of my questions (and I had a lot) throughout the entire planning process. She accommodated everything we asked for and even made suggestions of what else we could want! The food at stone house is amazing! Everyone was raving about the food. Cocktail hour was delicious and abundant. We were able to make so many choices from chef attended stations and passed apps. Dinner was outstanding (or so I heard since I am still upset I didn’t have time to eat my dinner lol) we were able to customize the dinner options so we had the main, starch, and veggies that we liked. Dessert was delicious and we had a food truck at the end of the night which we loved. The staff at stone house were so friendly and helpful. We had Mercedes as our maitre d and Rebecca as the bridal attendant. They were both on top of everything. From the beginning of planning working with Michelle and the stone house team was so easy!! I would recommend stone house over and over again. We live that it is a restaurant and we can continue to go back for special occasions!

The Stone House at Stirling Ridge was nothing short of a dream come true as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. From start to finish, every detail was handled with incredible care and professionalism, making our special day absolutely perfect and everything we had envisioned. Our main contact, Michelle, was an absolute superstar throughout the entire planning process. She constantly went above and beyond to ensure not only that we, as the bride and groom, felt at ease, but also that my (the bride’s) parents were equally reassured and comfortable. Her patience, warmth, and incredible organization made what could have been a stressful time feel smooth and enjoyable. The food was absolutely phenomenal, a particular highlight of the wedding and a big part of why we chose Stone House in the first place. Weeks later, our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. From the hors d'oeuvres to the entrees, every dish was memorable and a testament to the exceptional culinary team at Stone House. On the day of the wedding, the staff truly went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. Frank, our maître d', and the bridal assistant (whose name sadly escapes us) were absolute lifesavers. Frank’s kindness and attention to detail were unmatched—he even took the time to walk the groom through the kitchen, knowing how much he loves cooking, and introduced him to the chef overseeing our event. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that meant the world to us. When my bustle broke during the reception, Frank and the bridal assistant sprang into action and pinned it back together, allowing me to get right back on the dance floor without missing a beat. Thanks to the incredible staff and their dedication, we had the most magical night of our lives. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Every moment, from start to finish, felt like it was lifted out of a fairytale, and we owe so much of that to the Stone House and their amazing team. We are already looking forward to celebrating our anniversary there every year and reliving the magic all over again. If you're looking for a venue that combines breathtaking ambiance, world-class cuisine, and a staff that treats you like family, look no further. Stone House at Stirling Ridge will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! Thank you for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

Getting married at Stone House at Stirling Ridge was an absolute dream come true! We held our wedding in The Lodge, and it was everything we could have ever hoped for – and more. The rustic yet elegant atmosphere created the most magical setting for our big day, and every detail was perfect. Michelle, our coordinator, is hands-down the BEST memory maker ever! From the planning process to the day-of, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine passion for making our day special truly made all the difference. We can’t thank her enough for helping us bring our vision to life! And the food – wow! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. From the appetizers to the entrées, every bite was exceptional. Stone House truly knows how to impress, and they made sure everyone left happy and full. Thank you, Stone House at Stirling Ridge and Michelle, for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, organized, and serves phenomenal food, this is it!

Stone House is an absolutely gorgeous venue with phenomenal staff, who ensured that our wedding went perfectly. From the onset of signing the contracts, we felt taken care of and the normal stress of finding food / cake vendors were eliminated - big shoutout to Nicole! One of the primary reasons we chose Stone House was due to the ambiguous weather in New Jersey - if (on the likely chance) it rained, we needed to make sure that the indoor ceremony option felt perfect, not just an afterthought. And for Stone House (The Lodge), we found that the indoor option was so incredibly perfect we even considered asking to do it inside even in the case of sun. Victoria (the bride) was followed by an attendant who carried her dress train and veil and helped fluff it out for every picture. While the venue was beautiful and our pictures turned out perfect, we thought the food was possibly the highlight of the venue. Our guests themselves have raved to us at how incredible the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were some of the best they’ve ever had, so much so that they forgot to leave room for dinner. But the dinner itself and the desserts at the end were also delicious, and we feel lucky that such incredible food just came with the venue itself. Thank you Stone House for making our day so easy and perfect :)

We had the most perfect wedding you could imagine thanks to the hard work of Michelle, Mercedes, and all the other wonderful people at Stone House! It was beyond beautiful, and just genuinely effortless. Staff is amazing, the venue is stunning, and the food is to die for! We are so grateful to Stone House!

I’ll get straight to the point: Our wedding was the best day of our lives and if you’re considering it, you should absolutely book Stone House at Stirling Ridge for your wedding. If your priorities are organization, delicious food + drink, and immaculate service; look no further. The grounds and spaces are gorgeous and unique, but the stars of the show are the staff. We were 100% blessed to work with the lovely Michelle Ross as our day-of coordinator. She was the definition of professionalism from the moment we stepped on the property. She made us feel welcome, excited, and cared for throughout the entirety of the planning process and on wedding day. She answered every one of my questions promptly and with care. I am convinced that I would have been stressed out beyond belief without her, but instead I had a literal blast planning my wedding and got to be a chill bride on my wedding day- all because Michelle is a ROCK STAR! There will never be enough time to truly describe how instrumental Michelle was in making our wedding day perfect. We also got to work with the most amazing people on our big day. Frank and Mercedes took the greatest care of us and our wedding party. I mean, Mercedes was literally right next to me while we were outside taking pictures, with a glass of ice water and a handheld fan, while simultaneously helping with my bouquet and train. Frank worked magic when my brother’s button came off his tux, and miraculously fixed it. They were there every moment in case we needed anything. No wedding day goes exactly as planned, but because of Frank and Mercedes, everything that went wrong was taken care of and no one was the wiser. I MYSELF didn’t know half of the stuff that happened until the next day, I just got to have fun on my wedding day without a single worry! They are truly super heroes. Stone House’s staff as a whole is extremely professional, efficient, and quick on their feet. Our drinks were NEVER empty. The food and drink were so unbelievably delicious. We had the time of our lives and so did our guests. I will recommend booking Stone House over and over!

Best venue, best food, best people/service! We fell in love with the Lodge Space at the Stone House from the moment we saw it. The grounds were beautiful, the flow & size of the spaces were perfect and I loved having beautiful indoor & outdoor options for the ceremony. What we didn’t know at the time (and what we were THE MOST elated with after the various wedding milestones/the wedding itself) was how amazing the people are/service is and how amazing the food is. Michelle is quite literally my wedding angel. Despite my best efforts – I can be an anxious, type A bride, and just talking to Michelle calmed any/all worries. I don’t think I have enough words to thank her with - she is professional yet so personable and is an absolute dream to get to work with. And it didn’t stop there! The Maître D, Frank, and the Bridal Attendant, Mercedes, were SO attentive and so pleasant – having your wedding at the Stone House is having it at a well-oiled machine and that just takes off so much pressure. They all have so much wedding experience – it honestly feels hard for anything to go wrong. From the top down, everyone there is truly invested in making sure your wedding is a success. And the FOOD. I think for a lot of our guests, our wedding will go down as the wedding with the best food they’ve ever had. From cocktail hour, to dinner, to desserts and grilled cheeses after – everything was fantastic. And I love that they do a beautiful tasting for you before the wedding so that you can get the food you may miss out on the day of. TLDR – get married here. You will not regret it.

Deciding to book The Stone House was the best decision that we made while wedding planning! We had our reception in July in the gorgeous main ballroom. After the wedding, we got SO many compliments about the delicious food, amazing service, and overall how smoothly the day ran. Some guests even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Our event stylist, Nicole, was incredible! She was so kind, organized, and helpful and was always there to answer our many questions. She made planning feel easy. My husband and I felt so taken care of by the staff at the Stone House. Our Maitre d Frank and our bridal assistant Mercedes went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy and having a great time. When looking for venues, our top requirement was that they had good food. The food at our wedding was fantastic and there was so much of it! The menu offered a wide variety of options to choose from so all of our guests were happy and well-fed. The bartenders were also excellent and there was hardly ever a line to get a drink. We also loved the venue grounds as there were many different areas to get beautiful pictures. Overall, we had a perfect day and wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding. We are so thankful for the staff who made our day so special. I HIGHLY recommend booking the Stone House for your event!

To say that the Stone House at Stirling Ridge was our dream wedding venue would be an understatement. Every detail, from planning to the wedding, was perfectly executed. First off, our wedding coordinator, Michelle Ross, was a vision. She was so sweet and incredibly helpful at every turn, she handled our every question and concern with ease. Our wedding day felt to us like an overwhelming success, and I'm positive that Michelle had no small role in making that happen. We chose the Lodge as our wedding venue, the smaller of the two. We came in at under the minimum for the venue, and the room still felt full and lively. The grounds were gorgeous and our photographer was able to get a lot of great shots of us before the wedding. Our guests really loved the outdoor patio during the reception. It was so pretty and the weather was so ideal that it was perfect for people looking to get some fresh air or get away from the music for a bit. The firepit with the smores was a nice bonus too! We knew that the food was going to be incredible; every review, every person we spoke to that has been to a wedding here has said the food was amazing. We went to the Stone House restaurant early in the wedding process (another great benefit of this venue, you can come back to eat any time!) and we were thoroughly impressed. The food tasting event blew our wedding party away, and we had such a difficult time deciding between entree and cocktail hour options because all the options were just so good! Michelle and the Stone House staff were extremely helpful and generous in the process of choosing our menu. At the wedding, the guests RAVED about the food; even a month later, everyone keeps telling us how good the food was. Tip: get the donut wall, it's worth it! We 100% made the right choice with the Lodge at Stone House. Not only would we recommend this venue, but we keep telling every unmarried couple we know to just get married at the Stone House just so we can have a chance to come back!

We just had our wedding on 4/27/24 at the Stone House and it was everything we have ever dreamed of. The aesthetic, food, drinks, service -- TOP NOTCH. We worked with Nicole for over a year planning our day. She is seriously the best. So thoughtful and considerate to our likings and requests. Made sure that we thoughts of details we hadn't even considered. Answered our thousands of questions and was happy to do so. And ultimately was just sooo happy for us and our special day. I can't thank her enough for all she did to make our day so so perfect. Our maitre d - Frank, was incredible. He was on top of everything the whole entire night. Our family and friends were always taken care of with anything that came up. Bridal attendant, servers, bartenders -- everyone was so professional and attentive to the whole day. Stone House is so worth it-- it was our dream come true and we can't wait to visit for dinners at the restaurant to remember our day.

If you want to feel taken care of by top tier professionals, this is the wedding venue for you. I work in event logistics and all I wanted was to feel off the clock for my wedding day, after our first meeting with Sarah Gore at Stone House we knew it was the place. I felt like if there was anyone that would make me feel like I did not have to worry about a thing, it was her. Our wedding was at The Lodge on a stunning fall day this past October and even if the weather did not show up for us that day it would be been perfect heavily due to the team at stone house. The food, the professionalism, the attention to every little detail...when people tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to I don't think they are just being nice because of our own experience with this venue being beyond our expectations. Mercedes was running the show for us on the night and she is an absolute dream, kept us all on time with such a great spirit and energy. It was the dreamiest day and no one should second guess booking this place, just do it you won't regret it.

I cannot say enough about how amazing and accommodating the Stone House has been throughout the entire planning process. Starting off with our memory maker, Michelle: She is the reason why we booked with them! I could tell she was on top of everything, and wanted to make sure the day was going to be perfect! And to no surprise it truly was. The food was fantastic, and a lot of it! The mixologists were great, and we keep hearing from our guests how beautiful and amazing their experience was. I highly recommend the Stone House but more importantly Michelle. She made our experience near perfection.

Choosing Stone House for our wedding was truly a decision we'll always cherish. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, complemented perfectly by an exceptional staff. Our event stylist, Nicole Dispenziere, our maitre d, Mercedes, and the bridal attendant worked tirelessly to make our day seamlessly perfect. With their expertise, we felt completely at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. The bartenders were absolutely incredible, and the food offerings were nothing short of spectacular. Our guests have been raving about the stunning setup, and we credit the incredible team at Stone House for making it all possible. We can't recommend them enough—specifically, ask for Nicole and Mercedes; they are truly AMAZING! Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone at Stone House for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.

SO incredibly happy that we chose Stone House (The Lodge) as our wedding venue - our day was perfect and went so smoothly with the help from every single person on their team! Michelle Ross was our event stylist and she truly made sure that our day was everything we wanted it to be! Every little specific request that we had told her she made sure happened and she was so wonderful and personable to work with. On the day of, our maitre D (Frank Jr) and bridal attendant (Melina) were so attentive and checked in with us and my parents throughout the night for anything we needed. They had a spread of each appetizer food and our signature drinks waiting for us in our bridal suite right after the ceremony, and made sure we got to try a little of everything - even each dessert! Our guests really loved the quality and amount of all of the food/drink options, and the bartenders/wait staff were very kind towards everyone!

There are not enough words to describe how much I love the Stone House. We got married 11/4/23 in the Ballroom (175 people) and worked with Sarah throughout the process. She was such a calming force throughout the entire planning and wedding day. We booked fairly far in advance, so Sarah kept us organized on all our upcoming deadlines for linens, food choices, partnering with our other vendors, etc. The venue itself is truly stunning. We did such minimal decor because it really speaks for itself. The food is fantastic. We got so many compliments from our guests about the food. The option to add a food truck is so worth it - the end of the night "drunk" pizza was a perfect way to cap it. Everything ran smoothly, my partner and I felt so cared for throughout the day. I could not recommend the Stone House enough!

Our wedding at Stone House in late October was absolutely magical - from the string lights, to the fall foliage, the rustic cocktail hour area and the stunning ballroom - we could not have asked for more. The venue itself was gorgeous and the food was fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience working with Michelle - she was incredibly responsive, kind and truly cared about helping us bring our vision to life. She answered every email and spared no detail - we are SO grateful for all of her help. Frank the Maitre D was also unbelievable - great energy and the night went seamlessly. Having Evelyn as our bridal attendant was also SO helpful, whether it was keeping track of my bouquet or ensuring I had water, it was great to have someone looking out for us throughout the night.

We had the wedding of our dreams and I believe we owe that all to Stone House. We started our planning and of the 8 venues we toured, they were our favorite. They checked all the boxes, beautiful space, and an all-inclusive nature that meant they would be able to help us manage all the details without needing a dedicated wedding planner. The staff are top notch. Sarah Gore helped us plan every detail prior, making sure that we knew the space, the food, the bar, the aesthetic and giving us recommendations for the vendors that they didn’t include. Frank was our maitre d and managed every staff member and took care of every need our day of on site. His energy and presence actually allowed for us to not worry about any detail. The waitstaff, bartenders, and other staff took care of every single guest. The food. The food. The food. There was SO MUCH food and it was so good. Every single guest told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had and it was. The chef made sure that we had the food that we wanted, the way we wanted and that every single guest was taken care of. If you are on the fence, go to the venue, have brunch at the restaurant and you will get a sense of the experience that you will have. TOP notch

Where do I begin with our incredible wedding day at Stone House at Stirling Ridge, held in April 2023. Our stylist was Sarah and from our very first meeting, she was so amazing to work with and we immediately felt at ease. I felt like I had known Sarah my whole life! She was consistently communicative, friendly, supportive, professional, and helpful in planning our wedding. Sarah was communicative throughout the wedding planning process, and with her help we were able to plan our wedding in just 8 months. She kept us on track with planning and knew just what to say to ease my nerves the days leading up to the wedding. We decided to get married on the ballroom side, knowing it was April and with the chance of rain, the covered outdoor area for the ceremony was perfect. In true April fashion, it rained the entire wedding weekend. As it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised to see how serene and beautiful the outdoor ceremony space was in the rain. The colorful greenery surrounding it, full of love and support from our guests, felt like we were in a tranquil rainforest. We unfortunately did not get many pictures of us around the grounds, but it did not matter. The ballroom has beautiful lighting and is a larger space, with plenty of room for our 150 guests. The chandeliers are stunning and are the highlight of many of our reception photos. We loved the European vibe of the cocktail hour space, with lots of wood and darker colors. The food was beyond excellent. The guests were raving about all of the food, from the cocktail hour to dinner to dessert. The hospitality and customer service, including everyone from Sarah, to our maitre-d’ Frank, were so on top of being supportive and magically made the day go as smoothly as possible. Our guests were beyond impressed and in love with the venue (as were we since the day we toured the venue). Our wedding day was a dream, all thanks to Stone House!

My daughter and new son-in-law had their wedding in The Stone House Lodge. It was perfect !! The cocktail hour space is huge and beautiful. The lodge had just the right ambiance. The food was AMAZING. Working with the staff was an absolute pleasure. I would highly recommend The Stone House to anyone.

My daughter was married at the Stone House on the Lodge side on 5/25/23. What a fabulous event! Everything was perfect. The food was amazing and so was the staff. The Stone House team ran the event without a hitch. We didn't have any stress. Nicole was our wonderful planner and she was so helpful throughout the year of planning. Frank was the Matre D and Mercedes was the bridal attendant at the event and they were outstanding. I can't say enough good things about this day. We had the ceremony outside in a beautiful setting. The whole event was fantastic. I recommend the Stone House 100%. They are organized and easy to plan with too. This place is a winner!!!

I just had my wedding at Stone House in The Lodge on 5/25/23 and I can’t think of enough good things to say about them. Nicole made everything about the wedding planning process so easy and was always quick to get back to me about any questions I had and always reached out in advance about scheduling things like our tasting, final details meeting, and reminders of what I needed to do and when. As it got closer to the wedding and I had more and more questions, she continued to be so helpful and offered her expert opinions and guidance and helped field questions from vendors and made the day as seamless as possible. The staff during the wedding was amazing too — Frank the Maitre D was funny and nice and made sure me and my husband had everything we needed all night. Mercedes was our bridal attendant and she was also amazing and made sure we had everything we needed too and didn’t leave my side. The food was amazing everyone was blown away by the cocktail hour and the entrees were just as good. The room looked beautiful and everyone was so happy the entire night. I hope I can go to another wedding here as a guest because I want to experience it again!!

Stone House is truly the best wedding venue out there! We were married at the Lodge in October 2023, with Sarah as our coordinator. She was so quick to respond to our emails and problem solve creation solutions. Not to mention, by the end of the process, she felt like a close friend. A few major highlights: *The food: Our guests were still talking about the food for months afterward! It's so delicious and, what's really lovely, is that guests don't have to pre-order their meals. *The staff: Everyone from Sarah to our bridal attendant to maitre'd to bartenders were so kind, energetic and joyful. They really brought magic to our day and made everything go so smoothly. When we had to move our ceremony inside, they turned the space around in record time! *The venue: I can't tell you how gorgeous this venue is. And, how many spaces are there! From the outside patio to the firepit to the cocktail area to the lawn, our guests had a ton of space to move about. 10000/10 recommend this venue for your wedding!

Most perfect venue!! I have had my eye on Stone House for years and it totally exceeded all of my expectations. Michelle is truly the best at what she does and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Michelle is so caring, responsive, and calm. Her energy was exactly what we needed during our wedding planning. I would text and call her with questions and she truly had an answer for everything. Our day was immaculately planned and went perfectly. Michelle, Frank, and Mercedes greeted us once we arrived at the venue. Mercedes was SO helpful in carrying my train and bouquet all night. We had the ceremony in the Lodge and the reception in the Grand Ballroom. The food and atmosphere was incredible and everything we have ever dreamed of! We added the sushi enhancement during the cocktail hour which was so delicious. Our family and friends could not stop raving about the food. The reception was gorgeous- picture perfect!! Frank and Michelle worked with my DJ company to carry out the most perfect timeline! If you are getting married at the Stone House, you are in the best hands! Our day was truly perfection and a large part of that was due to the Stone House. Here is my highlight video, which shows the Stone house beautifully! @VictoriaLovaligo https://vimeo.com/804499108/1515890edf?fbclid=IwAR2NrkB74e_cdq_V8TJAT19FSOZT1BvzsE1urEH3uXNoVOZpRkwGqxjczBo

Working with the Stone House was the best part of planning our wedding. Nicole was a dream to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day. She answered every single one of our million questions, let us tour the venue multiple times, and accommodated every request we had without question. We got married in November and were very worried about getting married outside and the cold weather. The Stone House went above and beyond to ease our concerns by purchasing extra heat lamps a few days before, as well as passing hot apple cider to all guests before the ceremony. The wedding day in the Lodge went off without a hitch with a beautiful outdoor ceremony, which moved into a cocktail hour where no-one went hungry with their all star staff. In addition, the food was amazing, with everyone complementing us all night on how delicious everything was.

This venue over promises and under delivers. My husband and I were extremely disappointed with the execution of our wedding day. We did reach out to the Landmark Hospitality management about our issues on our wedding day and after they promised to make things right, the insulted us with compensation way below what we discussed on the phone and then did not reply to our reply messages (I have reached out 3 times after they said they would get back to me). This extremely unprofessional and they clearly don’t care about making us 100% satisfied like they stated over the phone. Our dinner did not come out until 9:15pm after my mother went into the kitchen to tell them to serve the food ASAP. They were missing cocktail hour pass arounds and did not give my husband and I any of the small plates in our bridal suite. The maitre de and bridal attendant were missing after salads were served. They ran out of my husbands signature drink an hour before the reception ended and it was bud light. The bathrooms were dirtier than a frat house. We hope this review allows other couples to have wonderful wedding days by not booking with the Stone House.

My fiance and I absolutely loved Stone House! We were between this venue and another, and while we ultimately booked the other venue, we still want to give a shout out to Michelle who helped make our experience so amazing. Michelle was incredibly kind and understanding of our desires and our budget, and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Go check out Stone House and ask for Michelle!

This is an incredibly popular venue for good reason and absolutely worth every penny. I worked with Nicole and held my wedding in the Lodge. Knowing your working with a polished and experienced venue makes the whole process easy and stress free. They really handle everything and every aspect of working with this team-- from the tour, food tasting, and wedding itself-- was fantastic.

From the minute we toured the Stone House to the day after the wedding we were absolutely thrilled with our experience. They truly think of everything. Michelle was SO incredibly helpful and responsive! She helped make planning and coordinating a breeze and also made every event leading up to the wedding (tasting, details meeting, etc.) feel special. The room was stunning, food was incredible, and everyone loved the smores station and passed desserts. Another wonderful touch is that we got to pick up everything the day after the wedding so we didn't need to worry about packing cars at the end of the night. Our guests had a wonderful time and so did we!

We recently celebrated our wedding in October at the Lodge at Stone House. This venue is hands down the BEST. From the impeccable service to the delicious food and beautiful venue, we could not have had a more perfect day. We are so grateful to work with Nicole, who was so professional, kind, and absolutely amazing to work with. I am already recommending Stone House to my engaged friends!!!

We just got married at the Stone House in the Lodge and it was absolute perfection. Sarah was our coordinator at the venue and helped us so much every single step of the way leading up to the big day. She and her team were so accommodating to our requests, so quick to respond to my emails, and kept everything organized and on track. She helped run the show and made our day go so smoothly. Our guests were raving about the beautiful venue, the food, and the drinks. The service was amazing. We lucked out with a beautiful fall day, and the grounds looked stunning. Our guests enjoyed the indoor / outdoor feel, going back and forth from the dance floor to making s’mores at the fire pit. We are so happy with how our wedding went and could not say enough good things about this venue!!!

FIRE ALARMS ended our reception at Stone House. Our guests were rudely told to evacuate the premises. Turned out there was no fire anywhere on the premises. Same incident happened 2 weeks prior to our party. POC/Upper management stalled communications from day one and were not proactive on this matter at all and were quite rude. We reached out to top management and had to continually follow up to get any updates on this problem and as of today, we still don’t know what exactly happened. Stone House did not show any compassion or regret. To all brides to be get a Fire Inspection report from Stone House or Fire Department so that you will not experience what we went through. No bride/groom, family and guests should remember this kind of memory. Management does not care about you once contract is signed. Maître d did not have an emergency plan or chain of command to reach out to. Once in a lifetime memory was replaced with fire alarms going off and getting kicked out of the reception. Ig

What better way to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary than to FINALLY write a review for this incredible venue and their amazing staff. We got married at The Lodge on 10/2/21 and the day was absolutely perfect thanks to Stone House, and especially thanks to Nicole who was the best coordinator we could have ever asked for. After originally booking for October 2020, we postponed our date for 2021. Stone House could not have been more accommodating. We worked closely with Carissa to secure the new date, and she and the venue were completely understanding and gave us no issues rebooking (allowing us plenty of time in advance, which meant we could keep a Saturday date -- completely unheard of at other venues at the time). We are forever grateful to Carissa and the staff for making that process so smooth considering how emotional things were at the time. Fast forward to finally getting to experience our wedding day the following year, it was truly a magical experience. Nicole was so communicative leading up to the big day, and helped us with all of our final questions and little details. She even worked some creative magic and put the time in to create dinner menus that matched our wedding invitations! The entire staff was so attentive the entire day, and as everyone always says about Stone House.. the food was insane. Our guests still talk about it being the best wedding food they've ever had. I could truly go on and on about this venue, but I will end by saying if you are looking for a venue in Northwest NJ you really don't need to look any further. Stone House is 100000/10!

THE BEST OF THE BEST, seriously. Do not look anywhere else but here. Michelle was our wedding director and she was THE BEST. Seriously, Stone House goes above and beyond for your special day. Our guests are still raving about the food and the friendly staff! You won’t regret working with them for your special day!!

So happy with the Stone House! Food was EXCELLENT!! Just as delicious as it was at the tasting. Carissa was great answering all of my questions leading up to the day & coordinating. Frank & his team were so helpful throughout the night. My train ripped at the beginning of the night & he brought out a needle & thread to make sure it stayed up so I could continue dancing! I also forgot to mention one of my guests was vegetarian, but that kitchen whipped up what she said was “the best meal of her life”! Beautiful venue, delicious food and a wonderful staff. Very pleased with my experience there & would recommend to others!

I knew getting married at the same place as my parents would already be a special experience, but the staff at Stone House exceeded even these high expectations! We worked with Nicole and I could not have imagined our wedding without her. She made our wildest dreams come true! The entire staff was attentive, helpful, and had incredible attention to detail. Stone House made the whole wedding planning process a breeze and I could not recommend enough.

Where to begin. If you are considering your wedding here DO IT! My coordinator was Nicole and she was absolutely amazing. From start to finish she answered every email very promptly, helped me with so much!! We had our wedding 7/15/22 in the lodge and it was absolutely beautiful. The most amazing high quality food. All our guests kept raving about it. We loved the indoor outdoor space as it was great for people who didn’t really like to dance. It is pricey but very much worth it. Just do it!!

We had our reception at the Stone House (the Lodge) in April and it was the best decision we could have made! The venue was perfect - the food, service, ambiance, decor. It really was a magical night. All of our family and friends still rave about how incredible the food was. Sarah, our coordinator, was AMAZING. She was so great to work with and really helped make our night a dream come true. I am recommending the Stone House to everyone I know - you will not be disappointed!!

The Stonehouse (grand ballroom) was the PERFECT venue for our Sunday afternoon wedding in June (3-9pm with the 1-hour open-bar after-party). We worked with Nicole who was BEYOND as our event stylist - attuned to every detail and request (and we had a lot of requests....) She was an excellent communicator and helped us thoroughly throughout the entire process to make our dream wedding day possible. From setting up our food tasting to helping us pick all of our favorite choices - she was so thorough and helpful with our final details meeting, and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed to ensure a smooth and successful day. Frank was the maitre'd for the day who was incredible; Merecedes was a fabulous bridal attendant who was there for me all day - bringing us food and water, helping with my dress, and really just attending to things i couldn't have anticipated. The food was excellent, the ambiance was amazing with the indoor/outdoor areas, and everyone just had the best time. My mom sprung for the donut wall at the end of the party which everyone loved. THANK YOU, STONEHOUSE can't wait to attend another celebration here soon!

We got married at the Stone House in May 2022. Nicole was our coordinator and was amazing from the day we booked to our wedding day. She always answered my questions quickly. The Lodge was absolutely beautiful and we knew almost from the beginning that it would be our wedding venue. All of the food was amazing, from cocktail hour to the reception, our guests definitely went home with full stomachs. Frank was our maitre d’ and ensured everything went smoothly throughout the night. Mercedes was my bridal attendant and I cannot thank her enough - from helping me with a fickle veil to fixing my bustle, she was always there. Our friends and family had the best time at our wedding. Thank you Stone House!

We can't say enough amazing things about Stone House and everyone who works there!! We had our wedding reception in the Grand Ballroom, and it was the best day of our lives. Nicole was our coordinator, and we are the absolute luckiest to have worked with her. She was calm, kind, and so knowledgeable the entire time, and she made me feel confident planning the entire wedding without a planner. From the day we booked until the day after, we were taken care of! It truly was full service, and the day was calm and so smooth - Nicole took are of all of our vendors and the set up, so all we needed to do was enjoy the day. The space is BEAUTIFUL, and the food is amazing!! Our guests keep telling us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. From the beginning until even the day after, the team at Stone House made the process easy and enjoyable. Mercedes was our Maitre D for the day, and she kept everything running so smoothly, and was warm and friendly. Our guests raved about the space, the great food and service, and we can't wait to come back and celebrate our anniversaries here over and over!!

Words can't even describe how special this venue felt on our wedding day! I had my eye on Stone House for a while, but once we visited and saw their Lodge space, it was an instant yes. The room has the perfect combination of a modern feel that still has a cozy charm to it. The fireplace as a focal point for our ceremony was BEAUTIFUL. Now for the team - what an amazing group of individuals. Nicole you were a ~blessing~ to work with!! Frank & Mercedes - you made our day feel so special. You made us feel like the most special people in the world! Thank you all for making our vision come to life. We loved every single second of our experience from the AMAZING FOOD (WOW!) to the romantic atmosphere to the service - 100000/10. Lastly - this team went above & beyond for us. When I got COVID the week of our menu tasting/Thanksgiving, the restaurant comped 2 full Thanksgiving day meals for myself and my husband....beyond thankful for that gesture! if you're thinking about working with Stone House - do it. The food, service, and atmosphere are worth it!

The most gorgeous venue run by the most professional wedding experts! Every detail and moment was properly planned out, the food is amazing, and the lodge is truly magical for a winter wedding. So glad we chose Stone House!!

We didn't end up booking Stone House due to our very large guest count, but I had to come write a review about how amazing our experience was with Michelle at Stone House. From the minute we met her, she was so interested in us as a couple, our story and our vision and we instantly hit it off! She made us feel so special during our tour and answered every single one of our questions and was flexible on our ideas and visions for our day. Although we didn't book here, I can't say enough great things about Michelle and the beautiful venue of Stone House. The ballroom is so beautiful and different and they offer so much within. I definitely would recommend this venue for all brides who are looking!!

Stone House was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding! We knew as soon as we toured it and met with their event coordinator Carissa that it was exactly where we wanted to get married. To start, the venue itself is beautiful (we got married in the Lodge). We loved the fact that the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception were all in the same building. On top of that, all the food at Stone House is farm to table and once we tried it we were completely blown away. On our wedding day our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good all of the food was at the cocktail hour and how the entrees were delicious. The icing on the cake was our event team. Carissa was incredibly helpful throughout our planning process, answering any and all questions we had concerning our day. On the day of she was there to make sure everything went smoothly and to hype us up. Frank was our maitre’d and he kept everything running perfectly, making sure we and our guests had everything we needed. Amalia my bridal attendant was an absolute gem. She helped me with my dress during photos, made sure we got a chance to try all of the cocktail hour food, and ensured we never had an empty glass during the reception. The entire team is clearly well versed in how to put on a great wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. We can’t wait to come back to Stone House in the future. Thank you Stone House team!!!

When we met with Carissa and she began talking about the weddings and receptions she hosted at Stone House over the years, we started to think this could be the place. While we loved the atmosphere of the Lodge reception hall, we had to choose the Ballroom because of capacity restrictions. However, it did have a lot of positives including a beautiful bar/cocktail hour space, a large patio with two fireplaces and a covered ceremony space which proved to satisfy our fear of any type of rain or weather contingency plan. The Ballroom was also a part of the main restaurant space and another important part in our decision making as we had several dinners there leading up to our wedding. The food and staff were excellent and the space was friendly, inviting and unique, even considering 2020 was an extremely tough year for the industry. As a couple, we had our hands in just about every aspect of the planning process and remained meticulous throughout the entire 18 months leading up to the wedding. While COVID was extremely stressful for everyone and threw a wrench in a lot of plans, we got through it unscathed after many conversations and discussions. It wasn’t easy but we made it work and hats off to Stone House for providing exceptional product and service throughout this tough time. While Stone House is a beautiful venue and serves as a great platform for any couple to get married there, we had a really unique vision that we wanted to bring to life, requiring us to push not just Stone House, but all our vendors, to really get creative and flexible. At times it felt a bit uncomfortable pushing and asking for certain items or requests that seemed reasonable or previously available, but ultimately, Stone House delivered on all fronts - design and layout, food and beverage, service and professionalism. If it wasn’t for that, we would have been very much out of luck! Stone House at Stirling Ridge provides all the right options and experiences for a great wedding experience. We even had our rehearsal dinner at a private space in their restaurant in which their food, beverage and staff were all excellent. As a new married couple, we hope one day we can also experience Stone House as a guest of a wedding and enjoy that perspective. All our family and friends were beyond impressed!

We knew the Lodge room at the Stone House was right for us as soon as we walked in. The venue is gorgeous, with huge windows and tons of great lighting, and a modern but rustic feel to it. Nicole was our wedding coordinator and was truly a pleasure to work with! We were in constant communication during the months leading up to the wedding, and she was always super prompt and helpful in responding. She made it very easy to give up some control and enjoy the process! Everyone at the Stone House was amazing and just wanted us to have the best day ever-- which we did! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking!

We had the privilege of working with Nicole who truly made our day pure magic. She's extremely responsive and thoughtful. She helped us with our wedding reschedule due to COVID all the way through ensuring every little detail was in place. We were so lucky to have her as our Event Stylist! The rest of the Stone House team is truly amazing. We got married in the Lodge and you can't go wrong. S'mores on an open fire for a signature dessert is unlike any wedding I've ever been to. My only flag is that dinner comes out a bit later than most venues, but for us that was perfect so we had uninterrupted time to dance. Stone House is the way to go!

As soon as we walked into Stone House we knew we were going to have our wedding there. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was delicious and the staff was so incredibly helpful and accommodating! Our venue coordinator Carissa was so great throughout the planning process and was always there to answer anything we needed. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID-19 and it was truly the easiest process imaginable - Carissa seamlessly found us another Saturday evening just a few months later. Day-of, our maitre d Frank and bridal attendant Gabby were also wonderful and made sure our night was nothing short of amazing! Can't recommend enough, our guests have not stopped talking about the night!

We had our wedding reception at Stone House in august and it was absolutely perfect! Between how well Carissa cared for us throughout the planning process, particularly with my never ending questions and concerns with COVID, to how amazing Frank the Maitre'd was for the actually day - we are so happy with our decision to use Stone House. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food and service was. We had a few 'odd' requests and Carissa and the entire team bent over backwards to make sure the day was exactly what we envisioned. Good food was a priority for us when picking the venue and Stone House did not disappoint. Can't recommend enough, they really made us and our guests feel special!!

I could not have been happier to have my wedding at Stone House. The venue is beautiful, the food is AMAZING and the staff is wonderful to work with. We had to move our wedding from November 2020 to August 2021 and they made the process painless. They really have the couples best interest rather than their own in mind. Carissa was awesome to work with. She is extremely responsive and answered all of my questions (there were many lol) and made me feel extremely at ease. Frank, the maitre'd was also amazing. He made the day of process so easy and I didn't have to worry about anything. I also had two bridal attendants the day of the wedding and they were so helpful and attentive. As a venue, its beautiful and what's great is the food is actually delicious. I would 100% recommend getting married here!

Stone House is the PERFECT venue for a New Jersey wedding! Carissa, the catering manager, helped us every step of the way as we planned (and then re-planned!) our wedding. She was responsive and creative with lots of ideas from flow of the evening to layout of the ballroom to any vendor recommendations you may need. Stone House is great about letting you visit and tour as many times as you want leading up to the day of and the tasting is amazing to get an idea of what the Ball Room looks like with lots of tables and people and what the service will feel like for your guests. Our guests can't stop talking about the amazing food both at cocktail hour and for dinner (especially the Short Ribs!) and how beautifully presented everything was. Frank was our day of helper and made sure we stayed calm and on schedule. He was right there when anyone had a question and did a great job juggling all our vendors, families, and guests. I wanted a rustic yet elegant vibe for the wedding, and Stone House perfectly fit the bill! Putting your guests up at the Embassy Suites in Berkeley Heights is a great idea since the shuttles only take 7 minutes each way.

I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing Stone House is. My husband and I got engaged in 2019 and the second we stepped into the venue we knew it was the place for us. Fortunately for us we did not have to postpone our wedding but due to staff changes during COVID we were passed through a few event coordinators which lead us to working with Nicole- who was an absolute dream!! She answered all of my questions promptly. Even though we didn’t have to postpone I was still concerned that covid would effect our wedding somehow and Nicole eased all of my nerves and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams! When Nicole wasn’t available- Carissa the catering manager would step in and she was just as delightful to work with. My guests are STILL talking about the food almost a month later and we have been to a few weddings since and everyone keeps comparing the food to Stone House (Stone House is the clear winner!) Even after the wedding we have been in constant communication and Stone House has worked to rectify any mishaps that may have happened during the reception. We are so thrilled that we chose to have our special day with them!

My wedding at the Stone House was amazing! I rescheduled from August 2020 to June 2021 and was able to keep a summer Saturday date! Nicole was incredibly responsive and answered every question I had throughout the planning process. Frank was my Maitre D and he spent the entire night helping me and my family. Maria was my bridal attendant and she was perfect. She was present when I needed her and out of the way when I didn’t. The food at the Stone House was incredible. My guests were full from the start of the night but kept eating anyway because everything was so delicious. I could not be happier with my experience at the Stone House!

My husband and I had our dream wedding at the Stone House on July 3rd! We decided to reschedule (from November 2020) to be on the safe side, and Carissa from SH was incredibly patient with me as I worked through that decision. We rescheduled with ease and our wedding coordinator, Nicole, guided us through the rest of the planning; she was so responsive and helpful through the process. Everything that day was perfect from start to finish. The ceremony and reception set up in the Lodge was beautiful, well-coordinated, and, as to be expected, the food was GREAT! My big Italian family is quite picky at times, but they loved it :) All the staff was excellent and made our wedding truly wonderful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I had my wedding reception at Stone House and had the absolute best experience. Everything from the food to the staff was outstanding. They were also extremely responsive and helpful with having to postpone our original date due to the pandemic. I would 100% recommend!

There's so much to say about Stone House! Overall we had a great experience working with the Stone House. My husband and I were looking for a venue that felt modern and a bit different than what we were used to seeing in NJ. We went to Stone House and really loved the look and feel of it—modern/contemporary, a little bit rustic, elegant. They do a good job at blending all those elements. Our coordinator Carissa was soooo sweet and super helpful from the very beginning. Our wedding was originally scheduled for June 2020, but got rescheduled to April 2021 due to the pandemic. [Specifically regarding rescheduling: My personal experience went as smooth as I thought it could have possibly gone. We had to wait a bit to be allowed to reschedule, but it was understandable given the CDC and state-level guidance at the time. We were nervous about the potential outcomes, but made sure to start having transparent conversations with Carissa as early as possible and even put a soft hold on a new date until we were given the green light to reschedule. We are thankful we were able to reschedule smoothly.] Planning the details with Carissa was so easy, you can tell they run a tight ship! They were able to accommodate some special requests we had, which helped make our event feel custom to us. The food was really good! The only constructive feedback on cocktail hour was that some of the guests who were in the downstairs section of cocktail hour (we had our event in the Lodge), didn't get some of the passed hors d'ouvres because the servers kept circulating upstairs (we had similar feedback on the passed desserts at the end of the night). But overall, the feedback we got from guests on the venue, food, and general experience was very positive. The reception food was great, especially the salmon. My husband is lactose intolerant and they were able to whip him up a dairy-free filet minion right away when we flagged it. Mercedes was our Maitre D and she was awesome!! So buttoned up while having the best spirit. It was so fun to work with her. My husband and I were really well taken care of. As I mentioned, we had passed desserts at the end of the night along with our wedding cake, and the chocolate chip cookie was SO good. It's worth mentioning. To summarize, if you're looking for a modern, elegant, delicious, (and organized!) wedding, look no further than Stone House.

We had our wedding on 4/17 and it was an amazing night. From planning (2.5 years ago) to the day of, the Stone House reps have been responsive and helpful with all of our questions (and family COVID questions). For COVID, they did help out with specific requests and everything was "spacious" (for those family members that requested it). Also, not to mention the space is just beautiful. I can't think of one thing that went wrong or was bad during my wedding day, only that I didn't eat enough of the cocktail hour food!
