I capture the unspoken — the glances, the silences — drawing from New York's pulse and the richness of global cultures. Every wedding is its own intricate narrative. Rooted in theatre and life's everyday rhythms, I document moments both transient and timeless.

If you’re seeking a rustic yet elegant setting for a wedding, look no further than the Stone House at Stirling Ridge. Nestled in the Warren Township, New Jersey, this idyllic property makes for a dreamy wedding location. Its charm lies in the fusion of sophisticated design and the serene beauty of nature.  It’s one of my favorite venues in the area, and was the site for Rita and Mike’s summer wedding.

The Stone House captures the soul of the countryside with an upscale twist, offering a captivating backdrop for wedding ceremonies and celebrations. It’s really the best of both worlds if you’re looking for a “wedding venue” that also has excellent charm.

The architecture at Stone House seamlessly integrates the old and the new, blending a rustic stone exterior with a contemporary interior, characterized by towering glass windows, high ceilings, and modern furnishings. This contrast creates a unique aesthetic, a perfect blend of nature’s raw beauty and human artistry.

As you step onto the venue, you can’t help but notice the peaceful serenity that engulfs the property. The immaculately landscaped grounds offer a plethora of photo opportunities, from the tranquil pond to the surrounding lush greenery.

One of the most striking features of the Stone House is its patio. This outdoor space is designed to host ceremonies and cocktail receptions. With its exquisite stone fireplace, wooden pergola, and lush gardens, the patio offers an intimate space to exchange vows.  Rita and Mike were married on the patio…and it’s also an excellent location for family and wedding party photos.

The Grand Ballroom is another spectacular space at the Stone House. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, the room offers sweeping views of the stunning landscaped gardens. Capable of accommodating up to 200 guests, the Grand Ballroom embodies elegance with its hardwood floors, contemporary chandeliers, and open floor layout.  I really love the Grand Ballroom as an indoor location for portraits on the wedding day as well.

Culinary excellence is one of the significant highlights of a wedding at the Stone House. Executive Chef Jerry Villa takes farm-to-table to another level, crafting personalized wedding menus with locally-sourced ingredients. The food at the Stone House is a gastronomic delight, sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.

But what truly sets the Stone House apart is its commitment to creating personalized wedding experiences. The team is dedicated to helping each couple bring their unique vision to life. Their wedding professionals are experienced in various wedding styles and traditions and work meticulously to ensure every detail is perfect.

In conclusion, a wedding at the Stone House at Stirling Ridge is an unforgettable experience. From its gorgeous landscapes and chic architecture to its impeccable service and delicious food, this venue captures the essence of a dream wedding. The Stone House goes beyond just hosting weddings; it crafts experiences that create lifelong memories.

If you’re looking to tie the knot amidst nature’s serenity without compromising on modern sophistication, the Stone House at Stirling Ridge should undoubtedly be on your venue shortlist.  I’m so glad that Rita and Mike chose it for their summer wedding!
