Gorgeous venue, relaxed wedding day and supportive staff!

My husband and I got married here on May 6, 2023 and it really was a perfect day. I loved that Stonefields gives you the option of an indoor and outdoor venue in light of Ottawa's tricky weather and both options are just gorgeous. Not a lot of extra decor needed because it was so beautiful to begin with. The grass was green and lush. The staff were responsive and attentive, catering to our needs, quick to respond via email. As the bride I felt so relaxed the day of, the staff making sure I was fed through the day and saving my food when I was busy talking to guests! Our day-of coordinator guided us through every step of the wedding, making sure things were running smoothly and on time. Since we had a dry wedding, the staff were so flexible in removing all alcohol bottles from the bar display. They even let us create our own custom mocktail menu, which was super cute giving each drink a unique name. The food was incredible. We had an awesome bonfire in the evening. We had about 150 people at our wedding and that felt a bit cozy, but it was still really wonderful. A few items of feedback were that some guests didn't get as many hors d'oeuvres when passing them around. Also the coordinator we were chatting with through the planning phase didn't up being our day of coordinator so it took some re-explaining to review the plan of the wedding closer to the date. Ultimately with Stonefields, you're paying for comfort and ease, which is how my husband and I really felt the day of our wedding. It was unforgettable and we thank Stonefields for their wonderful service! Our wedding day really did feel spiritually uplifting and this venue really contributed to that beautiful spirit.

Best Wedding Venue!

Before we were even engaged I fell in love with the Stonefields property, the moment I saw the little white chapel I knew this was the place. Shortly after our engagement I reached out to Stonefields and right from the very start they were extremely helpful!

Not only were they helpful, they were quick to get back to us whenever we had questions, extremely organized and just all around a lovely group of people to work with.

Our wedding day was so smooth, our guests still rave about the service, the food they ate and how beautiful the property was.

They went above and beyond for us in the setting of unforeseen circumstances and we can’t thank them enough. If you are planning a wedding you should have no hesitation to book this terrific venue!

Thank you Steve, Stephanie, Angela, Kylie, Jen & the rest of the Stonefields Team, for everything. You made our wedding day so so special.

Thank you, Stonefileds!

We were married at Stonefields 6/16/2023 and it was absolutely incredible. We've had nothing but compliments from our guests on how incredible the venue, staff, and food were. We were told many times it was "the best wedding I've every been to". Thank you to Stephanie, Steve, Kylie, and everyone else who made our day so special.

It was the day I dreamed about!

From the moment we saw Stonefields we knew it was our venue. It immediately makes you feel like you’re at home but with the most glamorous decor and vibe. My husbands Dad passed away in 2021 but use to party at Stonefields with its previous owner before it ever became a wedding venue, that was a sign for us and knew Owen would be up in heaven partying with us as we said I Do. We had the pleasure of working with Kylie, Jen and Steve for our wedding along with a few others, they definitely treat you like family and are all so professional and easy to work with.
They are organized and have this down to a science. If you’re like us we have a toddler and needed a one stop shop.
You will never go wrong with a wedding at Stonefields, they have a stunning venue (which you hardly need to decorate yourself at all, you could literally just show up that’s how beautiful it is), amazing food and service. My friends and family rave about it.

Stonefields made our special day an absolute fairytale!

The Stonefields team made our day so special, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! So many of our guests keep telling us how beautiful the venue was, and also how incredible the staff were on the day-of. It was so clear to see how everyone who works at Stonefields loves LOVE and the magic of creating a perfect wedding day. I was so impressed with how smoothly everything went. It was such a fairytale for us and honestly exceeded our expectations.

Perfect venue & amazing wedding experience! Thank you!

We got married in July 2022 and had the best experience! These are wedding EXPERTS! Their team is incredibly knowledgeable & organized helping you make sure all your bases are covered in the planning stages. Something we noticed was Stonefields' willingness & enthusiasm to execute additional ideas we had for our day. In our preliminary conversations with other venues, we didn't always get that impression. Day of everything went absolutely smoothly -- the Stonefields team have thought of every detail when it comes to weddings and they make sure you and your guests are taken care of. Guests with allergies commented how attentive the event staff were to their dietary restrictions, my parents were kept informed about the schedule, and the team made sure we stayed on track throughout the day. I got to enjoy my wedding because Steve and his team had everything covered. Other helpful points: the venue is already gorgeous so you can save money on decor, the food is *incredible*, & everyone at Stonefields is welcoming and a delight to work with. We had the best time at our wedding and got so many compliments from guests! If you are even remotely considering Stonefields for your wedding, definitely go for it! You will have the most incredible day!

Breathtaking Wedding Venue

Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, the staff and service make the experience even better. They make the whole process from start to finish so easy and take care of the little details that can be easily forgotten. They have ceremony options for rain or shine that are both beautiful. Our wedding day was so relaxed and we were able to enjoy it knowing the staff was taking care of everything. We would pick this place over and over again and we highly recommend this venue.

The Best Day!

We were originally planning on getting married in September 2020 but like a lot of other couples, postponed our wedding to October 2021. Stonefields was nothing but accommodating and understanding when it came to the postponing. They offered us different date options and pricing when we were unable to meeting their minimum guest requirement due to COVID restrictions. They did that without charging us more or asking for further deposits. I understand that a lot of businesses didn't have this luxury but I wanted to note that the team at Stonefields went above and beyond to ensure that we could still have our dream wedding in a pandemic!

The venue is beyond gorgeous! We fell in love with it the moment we saw it. We got married in the Ceremony House and it was perfect since it was a cold and rainy day. Cocktail Hour was scheduled to be outside but because of the weather was moved indoors in the Loft. The food was amazing! I had so many guests tell us how great of a meal it was. We opted to add-on a pasta course which we had not tasted in our tasting but was delicious! The bartenders were great with guests asking for drinks and made sure everyone was happy with what they ordered. The most impressive thing about Stonefields is how I did not have to think about anything. Steve, Stephanie and his team ran the day so smoothly! Everything was on time, everyone at a table got their meal at the same time regardless of the meal they chose - it was amazing! We dealt with Kylie leading up to the wedding and she really does it all! Any question I had, she would respond within 24 hours! You end up spending more but the quality you get is worth it!
