Stonefields is the best Venue, they truly cater to your every needs especially during a pandemic! They went over and above anything they could to make sure our day was perfect! Steve and Stephanie and the entire staff are amazing and they all worked so hard to make our day run so smoothly!

Best day of our lives!
Where to start... the venue is the most perfect, beautiful, visionary location to have your all-in-one wedding! An upscale, country, barn wedding doesn’t do it justice in words. The options for your indoor or outdoor ceremony are stunning, the loft for reception provides a landscape to bring your vision to life but also has foundational beauty just on its own. All our guests raved about the food all night and the days to follow. Above all this the team that brought the wedding together can only be described as the all time A-team! Working endlessly to make our wedding day happen during a pandemic, communicating with us throughout this process to alleviate the potential stress of constant changes, and accommodating our last minute updates was going above and beyond. On the day of the wedding everything went perfectly too! As a bride you try to plan for all scenarios but there was no need! The staff had everything run on time, smoothly and without a hitch! All guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been apart of and it largely had to do with this incredible venue and everything they offer. We would recommend anyone to have their event here!

Caution to all brides
Please book Stonefeilds with caution, as they have a lot of great reviews. I can assure you that when times get tough they are the last to support you and kick you when you are down. The way the owner Steve has chosen to act says a lot of how he runs his business. It's really unfortunate that he has chosen to take advantage of soo many clients during this pandemic. Any future brides out there please be careful. I am now a month away from our wedding day and we have decided to have a small wedding at our parent’s home.
I highly recommend NOT to book here, they have very poor values. Too bad..beautiful place, just poor poor business. When I booked, they all had great reviews..times were better then. Bride be sure to consider the bad that could go wrong especially during times like this. The way vendors act now say a lot about their morals and the way the run their business.
Be smart!
Good Luck!

Stonefields Estate's reply:
Hello Jennifer,
We are very sorry to hear how you feel about your experience with Stonefields Estate. It has indeed been an incredibly difficult time for everyone and we remain, thankful to you and all of the front-line workers who continue to help those in need during this pandemic, many of whom are also Stonefields couples. Our family-run, small business, has been working tirelessly since the pandemic hit, to find ongoing solutions for our couples, who have always been at the heart of what we do.
As you know, we provided you with the following options during this unprecedented time:
1. Reschedule your wedding to any available date later in 2020, in 2021 or in 2022, and at 2020 pricing regardless of the year of postponement, and with no change fees. In addition, we added 4 months to our event calendar, when we normally don't host weddings, to provide additional dates for our couples to choose from throughout a 12 month event calendar.
2. We offered you to hold onto your 120-day payment to allow you time to decide, which you did. This payment is being refunded to couples who cancel their wedding or whose weddings were cancelled due to Covid.
2. "Wed Now and Celebrate Later" - option to host your ceremony this year for free and have your reception next year with an added deposit that would go towards your reception next year.
4. Ontario's Phase 2: "Petite Package" including ceremony for 50 and dinner/reception for 10, with option to add up to 50 guest for dinner/reception with the easing of restrictions.
5. Ontario's Phase 3: "Intimate Package" including up to 100 guests for ceremony and up to 50 for dinner/reception with the option to add more guests as restrictions lift.
6. Due to the fact that none of these options worked for you, our last communique to you and your fiance was asking you both, what would you like for your wedding so that we could find a way to create something unique and custom, just for you. But we never heard back from you. You then chose to cancel your wedding.
We would have loved the opportunity to find a way to host your wedding. We would gladly welcome you back should you change your mind in the future.
Warmest wishes from the Stonefields Family.

Best day ever!
Nothing can compare to the love and passion that Stephen Stephanie and their staff put towards their weddings! If we had a question it was answered! If we needed something day of it was in our hands within a minute! There’s a difference between renting a venue and booking stonefields! I would pay for a whole wedding over just for their food!! Not having to stress day of the wedding or worry that any of my friends or family members are missing out on the wedding because they are busy setting up or getting last minute things etc. was an amazing feeling! With that stonefields is so beautiful in itself that decorations were minimal which if you’re starting to plan a wedding not having to worry about that IS AMAZING just an fyi!! Thank you stonefields for the love and compassion you put into our wedding and giving us the memories of a lifetime!

Outstanding!
Choosing Stonefields as our venue was the best decision we made in planning our wedding! We were incredibly happy with the venue throughout the entire planning process and during our wedding day. We were initially drawn to the venue due to the menu, which was the most accommodating to food allergies/intolerances that we could find in the Ottawa area. We had members of the bridal party, family and friends with food allergies/intolerances, and we wanted to ensure there were no issues on the big day. Chef James and the Stonefields team was knowledgeable and extremely attentive, and the food went off without a hitch! Our guests raved about the food, including the lamb chop appetizers, filet mignon main, Earl Grey ice cream with honeycomb dessert, right down to the quality of the coffee! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and offers a few sites for the ceremony, including the new Ceremony House in case of rain. The Farmhouse is beautifully decorated as a bridal preparation area and overnight accommodation for the bride and groom and guests - the overall experience felt luxurious. The team including Kylie and Angela were fantastic in their communications and in ensuring that every last detail was planned and noted. Our day-of coordinator Melissa was a wizard in helping set up the decor and made our day go seamlessly. We were beyond impressed by the level of organization, attention to detail, and flawless execution of our wedding by Stonefields. The venue and team are amazing, and we could not have asked for a better wedding experience!
A born hostess and country girl at heart, Stephanie brings rural elegance to every Stonefields event. She oversees planning of all weddings, drawing on decades of events experience.
When she’s not working an event, Stephanie uses her corporate background, communications degree and flair for design to expand and evolve the estate.
