Stoneleigh was a beautiful venue for our ceremony and reception! The rolling green hills, rustic barns, and historic stonework all made for a wonderful backdrop that blended casua...l and elegant just perfectly for our wedding. Guests are still commenting on how beautiful it was, and the pictures are just gorgeous. It has character and personality, which I like so much better than an impersonal hotel ballroom. The stone wall around the courtyard where the ceremony and reception are held made it feel like we were in our own little world, no intrusions from whatever else might have been going on at the club that day.
Brian was very helpful and accommodating - he offered great suggestions, but ultimately said "whatever you want, we'll make it happen." On the night before and day of, Rex (?) was so attentive and responsive, taking care of all of our last minute needs and arrangements. The evening turned a little chilly, so they quickly adjusted, moving the cocktail hour indoors. They do this all the time, and they clearly know what they're doing.
I liked that it was "one stop shopping" for both the ceremony and reception - they took care of the food, tent, tables, linens, heaters, etc. so I didn't have to coordinate separate vendors for each. And when you factor everything in, the price was very reasonable.
I liked that we could set decorations and things up the night before, which made for much less "day of" scrambling and stress. It's a little remote from nearby towns or hotels, but I got a shuttle bus for my guests, which worked perfectly. Oh, and the food was delicious! I didn't actually eat it on my wedding day, but the tasting was fantastic and my guests were pleased and impressed.
I'm very happy that I chose Stoneleigh, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for this type of venue!
