The Stone House Ranch on-site venue manager’s role is to answer questions, watch the property, and act as point person for Stone House Ranch for all other vendors.

While we hope that none of those things ever occur, we highly recommend that in addition to purchasing Wedding Liability Insurance, you also purchase Wedding/Event Cancellation Insurance which would cover any unexpected events. Please check with your individual insurance carrier for specific details.
Due to our full events calendar, we cannot guarantee your rehearsal will be the evening before your wedding but we will do our very best to accommodate your request. If it is not possible, we will work with you on another time for rehearsal. Rehearsal times are set no sooner than 30 days prior to wedding.
