We had booked this venue under another management company and I think that's a really important preface - the venue had not been managed for seven months when we arrived so of course it wasn't perfect and there were some issues. None of this was the fault of the new management, who went above and beyond to help us to have a wonderful event. The estate is VAST, there is so much room for a large luxury event here, and plenty of guest space too. It really is a beautiful place for a wedding or special event with a ton of amazing places for stunning photographs.

Our wedding at the Barn at Stoney Hill was absolutely magical and a dream come true. From the moment we stepped foot at the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The owners, Cliff and Jennifer, are truly amazing. They were so understanding, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we dreamed of. The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful. The theme color, the lighting, the outside view, and the bride's suite were just perfect. The venue did not need much decoration due to its beauty by itself. If you're looking for a venue that will make your wedding dreams come true, look no further than the Barn at Stoney Hill. It's a true blessing!
