    Stonegate Manor was an absolutely wonderful venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was quick to respond, flexible with our requests, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. The venue itself is beautiful, with a cool and airy atmosphere that made for the perfect backdrop to our special day. They even let us stay overnight, which was such a nice touch and allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves without worrying about getting home. The team was clearly super prepared and ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to simply relax and savor every moment. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or experience, and we're so grateful to Stonegate Manor for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

  • We love Stonegate!

    We are so glad that we discovered Stonegate Manor for our small family ceremony! To start, it is so close to Lake Michigan. We were able to get a photo op at the beach in our casual clothes before the ceremony. Then when we arrived at Stonegate, there was plenty of space in the beautiful manor house for us to change into our ceremony outfits. And speaking of photo ops, the grounds are beautiful and have tons of options for beautiful backdrops. We chose the Fairy Garden as our location, and since we were planning our wedding on a very short timeline, we didn’t have any extra decorations. We didn’t need them! It was the perfect secluded spot for us to say our vows with our family members, both human and canine (did we mention Stonegate is dog friendly?!). As I mentioned, we were planning our wedding with only about a month’s notice, and at first we thought that we’d just go to the courthouse. We can’t say how glad we are that we chose Stonegate instead. While we wanted the day to be a casual, stress free event, we also wanted it to be special and memorable. Having an elopement package that includes flowers, cake and other extras eliminated planning stress and decision fatigue, and Prudy is so easy to work with and was able to accommodate the requests we did have to make the day uniquely ours. If you are planning on having your wedding at Stonegate Manor, expect personalized customer service, consistent communication, and a warm welcome when you arrive for your big day.

    Not only is Stonegate Manor a beautiful venue, but Prudy is a delight to work with. She pays as much attention to detail with the decor in the venue, as I do with my cupcakes!

  • Thank you Stonegate Manor for an amazing wedding!

    We absolutely LOVED our small wedding at Stonegate Manor! Due to Covid, our wedding day and venue as initially planned were canceled. I found Stonegate Manor four days in advance of our ceremony. Thank you Prudy (the owner) for making it such a beautiful and easy experience! Prudy was extremely accommodating with our requests and the price was very reasonable. Also, they provided a very nice wedding officiant that made the process easy. The property is gorgeous and as a result our photos turned out stunning. Honestly when I tell friends that we found Stonegate Manor four days before our ceremony and they see our photos they are shocked. Thank you!!!!! <3
