“For full disclosure, this is my family’s property! It was a natural
choice for us to have our wedding here not only because of that, but
also because it is such a beautiful place. However, everyone in the
family worked with us to help bring the celebration to life, and I
have seen them go above and beyond to help support anyone who has had
an event at Stonehaven Farm - not just family.
We had our wedding in early September, which is typically a very lush
season in the area, and the farm was very green with a creek bed full
of wildflowers. Parking and shuttle drop-off was very easy for guests,
and we rented a large tent for the dinner and dancing (we ultimately
also had our ceremony under this tent, as a thunderstorm emerged right
before the ceremony start time). After the wedding was over, we had a
bonfire and the night-owls had the chance to continue to connect.
Before the welcome dinner began, many guests came early to take a dip
in the pool, go visit the horses and the vegetable garden, and walk
around the farm, and simply catch up with one another, which is what
we hoped for. This is all to say that the property offers a variety of
spaces that make it a place that people can truly spend time in.
We used the log cabin to stay over the weekend, which was perfect, as
it is very close by but in a semi-secluded corner of the farm and
allowed us to step away from the space where the events were happening
and have some space to rest, reflect, and get ready. We could also
have our friends come by and help us there.
Bathroom access was easy for everyone, and because the farm is so
spacious we even invited guests to camp out for the weekend if they
were interested in doing so (which a few were). There is a perfect
little nook by the pool for this, so tents were not at all in the
field of view from where we had our wedding.
We wanted to support local vendors and were excited to have the
flexibility to source our own food, beverages, DJ, and photographer.
Flowers were sourced from the local cut-flower farm Wollam Gardens and
were absolutely beautiful. Stonehaven Farm is a really special place,
not just for me but for everyone who visits. Guests seemed relaxed and
later complemented us on what a wonderful celebration it was.
If you are someone who has a creative vision for an outdoor event,
whether it is a wedding or simply a gathering of your closest friends,
I definitely encourage you to get in touch with Stonehaven Farm so you
can go see this peaceful space for yourself. The farm has many
beautiful pockets that you and your guests can enjoy, and there is a lot of flexibility to bring to life the event that you are imagining.”
