From the reviews

We cannot say enough good things about this venue! Leslie and her team are professional, knowledgeable and very responsive. Not to mention the kindest and most sincere people! They truly cared about making sure we acheived the wedding of our dreams.

This is the most wonderful venue! I got married here mid May and it was absolutely perfect. Kendra makes this experience so easy, she was flexible from letting us come look at the venue at a moments notice to all of the help she provided with set up!

★★★★★ — Christina, Sep 2018

If you have not had a chance to see this amazing venue, you are missing out. I was lucky enough to hold my mother‘s celebration of life here. The venue was the perfect combination of formal and informal. Although this was the first of such an event held here, the owner, Judy, was very accommodating and helpful.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Aug 2024

My daughter was married at Stepping Stones Garden last weekend and the venue was as lovely as I could have imagined for her ceremony and reception. She wanted to have activities for guests to enjoy during the cocktail hour so we used the entire space for lawn games and other entertainment.

Getting married at Stepping Stones Garden

Stepping Stones Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
