Stonefields Wedding Oct 2025

What is there to say about this venue that hasn’t already been said?!

This place is the Premiere venue in Eastern Ontario. We found the price to be comparable and competitive with other venues within 100km. The one big difference is that this venue serves both the bride AND the groom on their special day. The Bad Child Pub for the boys was really the icing on the cake for me. No groomsman of mine was going to get ready in a washroom hallway!

Steve and Stephanie run a very tight ship and the staff is A+. From the coordinating team, the event staff, servers, bartenders and especially their excellent executive head chef. Everyone is a standout professional in their field.

The grounds are simply stunning and their farmhouse where you spend the night is something that the couple and their chosen guests will talk about for years. They are constantly upping their game by improving the look of the venue and increasing the functionality of their space.

The food was outstanding, the event space and the chapel are breathtaking, and their policy is “Our answer is always yes”.

We are looking forward to coming back for our anniversary and any special event dinners they host in the future.

A Dream Wedding at Stonefields Estate – Beyond Perfection!

We had the immense pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Stonefields Estate on October 4th, 2025, and we can say without a shadow of a doubt: this is the BEST wedding venue in Ottawa. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly executed with a level of care, professionalism, and heart that is truly rare.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every single guest raved about the quality, presentation, and flavors. From hors d’oeuvres to the main course and late-night snacks, the culinary experience was next-level it felt like dining at a five-star restaurant. The kitchen team clearly takes immense pride in their craft, and it showed in every bite.

But what truly made Stonefields shine was the unparalleled service. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and utterly professional. Steve, the owner, and his incredible team were with us every step of the way. They made us feel supported, listened to, and truly special not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire planning process.

The entire day ran like clockwork. Every detail was perfectly timed, transitions between moments felt seamless, and when we had small last-minute requests during the evening, the team adapted instantly without any hesitation. It’s rare to find a venue that combines such a high level of organization with such a personal touch but Stonefields nailed it.

The venue itself was immaculate. Spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and breathtakingly picturesque. Whether it was the rustic charm of the barn, the elegance of the ceremony space, or the cozy, thoughtfully designed getting-ready suites, every corner of the estate felt warm, inviting, and purpose-built for unforgettable celebrations.

We’re still hearing from guests who told us this was the best wedding they’ve ever attended and we give all the credit to Stonefields and their extraordinary team. If you're looking for a venue that offers top-tier service, world-class food, and a truly stress-free wedding experience, look no further.

Stonefields Estate is a cut above the rest, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Steve and team, for giving us the wedding of our dreams. We’ll never forget it.

Our perfect fairy tale

rom the very first meeting to the moment we drove away, everything was flawless. Our guests are still raving about the food, the stunning venue, and the incredible service. The team’s responsiveness, collaboration, and attention to detail made planning stress-free and the surprise picnic was the icing on the cake!
Steve and his crew made us feel like special all day. The venue’s charm, cleanliness, and professionalism were unmatched. Every space, the farmhouse, the boys’ lounge, the chapel was a dream come true. The extra care shown to my grandmother touched our hearts, and working directly with the chef ensured every steak was cooked to perfection.
From rehearsals to food tasting, arrival to departure, every moment was handled with grace and care. Our wedding felt perfect, and our guests agreed! We would recommend Stonefields 100 times over. Thank you to the entire team for making our hearts so full.

The perfect venue — 10/10 experience!

We got married at Stonefields Estate, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The venue truly offers an incredible all-in-one package — beautiful grounds, an amazing team, and phenomenal food.

One of the main reasons we chose Stonefields was because of the gorgeous indoor chapel as a rain backup. It ended up raining on our wedding day, and we were so thankful to have such a stunning indoor option that still felt romantic and intimate.

The staff was outstanding from start to finish, and the owner was so kind and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Every detail was handled with care, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The food was absolutely delicious — our guests are still talking about it!

We have zero regrets about choosing Stonefields. It was worth every penny, and we would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Truly a dream experience!

A Perfect Wedding Day at a Perfect Venue

Our experience at Stonefields was absolutely flawless from start to finish. The staff were exceptionally professional, warm, and genuinely kind, making us and our guests feel completely taken care of. Angie and Jen worked behind the scenes to make our day feel effortless. Steve, the owner, was incredible: attentive, organized, and clearly invested in making sure every detail ran smoothly. We cannot say enough good things about him and his team.

Our guests raved about the food and service all night, especially the pork belly, which was a standout canapé. One small but memorable touch that our guests commented on was how the servers left the kitchen in perfect formation to serve meals. It was elegant and seamless, a reflection of how well-coordinated the entire operation is.

The grounds are stunning, immaculately maintained, and so naturally beautiful that we didn't need any decorations. Every single one of our requests, even the last-minute ones, was accommodated without hesitation. The venue offers so many versatile spaces, both indoor and outdoor, which allowed us to create the perfect flow for our day.

This venue runs with precision and genuine warmth. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and care made our wedding day absolutely perfect. We are so happy we chose Stonefields.

Beautiful venue!

Me and my husband are so happy we chose Stonefields as our venue for our special day. They provide such a seamless experience answering all your questions and providing insight and suggestions based on your vision, their planning toolkit and honeybook platform makes planning so easy and for us who were doing the planning ourselves it took lots of stress off having a guide and step by step timeline to keep track. The staff is so friendly and they take special attention to your requests and ideas and bring them to life. And obviously the venue itself is absolutely beautiful and dreamy, guests continue to comment on the property and how well it was maintaied. Food is impeccable we’re gonna have to come back just for that, chef is so so talented! Best choice ever! 10/10

Stonefields is the most beautiful venue. The staff are extremely helpful, and kind. The entire day went so smoothly thanks to all of the help from the staff. The communication was always clear leading up to the wedding day. Our guests cannot stop speaking about how beautiful the venue was, and how good the good was. We would recommend this venue to anyone getting married in Ottawa!

Most beautiful Ottawa wedding venue!

This venue is gorgeous, and that is what attracted us to it originally. They have flexible packages including the "Build Your Own Event" Package is allows you to gain access to this property at a significantly lower cost than some of its much less special feeling competitors. The owner, Steve, and Angela Z, were both amazing to work with, but overall they have a great team that is willing to entertain some fun ways of using the space to make the big day feel how you envision. On the day, they were absolutely there for us at every second! There's not a moment they weren't sneaking us food mid photo shoot, bringing us water, creating space for us to have privacy, etc... the cost can add up quickly, but it is definitely more than competitive within the Ottawa market for this service.

Wow wow wow wow wow

We chose Stonefields as our venue for our wedding that took place last week. From the very first moment we met with Steve for our site visit last summer, we knew this was the place. Steve was waiting at the doors, ready to greet us with a huge smile - and this was just for a site visit!!

Through the last (almost) year, we received nothing but top-notch service and support from everyone we interacted with from the venue. Lauren and Anglea Z kept us 100% on track with the planning, helping us along every step of the way.

When it came to the big day, Steve and Natalie were our superstar coordinators who boosted our confidence levels, made absolute sure that my husband and I had NOTHING to worry about all day long, and did it all with grace and kindness. Natalie brought platters of our canapes to us as we were taking family photos to ensure that we got to taste everything, and made sure that we had a drink in hand! Every single one of our guests noted how amazing the venue was - from the amazing service from ALL staff; to the quality of the canapes, drinks and the dinner (shoutout to Chef Angela, and Colton at the bar!); to the stunning venue itself (shoutout to Kiefer and his GORGEOUS lawn LOL!)... Stonefields truly runs like a well-oiled machine, and you can certainly tell that every single staff member who works there is happy to be a part of the amazing team.

We are truly blown away with how much everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making our day truly unforgettable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
