STONEGATE MANOR

SPOTLIGHT
Stonegate Manor is the only true estate wedding venue in SW Michigan . We have everything you need for your perfect wedding on one beautifully wooded and landscaped 20 + acre property .
Established in 1847 , Stonegate Manor is crowned by the Victorian Manor House , a classically elegant two-story home filled with antiques and lots of great places for pictures . It is also available for onsite lodging .
The original carriage house has been renovated and converted into a cozy Bridal Cottage filled with antiques , chandeliers , a granite “ beauty bar ," kitchenette and dressing room filled with many beautiful mirrors to make sure you look perfect from every angle .
The Riverside Room is a lovely , climate-controlled venue , filled with crystal chandeliers and design details which seats 175 . The long covered patio and the huge lawn complete the picture providing lots of outdoor space for fun , games , and cocktails .
There are two ceremony sites to choose from . To get to the classic Pergola , you cross the Bridge to Forever and follow the winding brick path which serves as your aisle . For those looking for something a bit more casual , the Fairy Garden is a wonderful clearing in the woods , flanked by dozens and dozens of hostas and ferns and anchored by a unique vintage arbor . The sun-dappled space is just gorgeous in the summer .
Lastly , the Stonegate Manor Boutique offers lots of unique items to help you style your day perfectly at no or little charge .
Stonegate Manor is truly a property to be experienced and enjoyed . It is not “ just a wedding venue ”… it ’ s the total package . We stand out as a combination of classic elegance and outdoor country charm with plenty of elbow room for fun !
My main advice to Brides looking for venues is FIND ONE WITH AIR-CONDITIONING ! No one will enjoy your awesome food or fantastic music if they are melting in their seats !
