Reception and Ceremony Spaces

Stone House of St. Charles can be broken up into 5 distinct sections, with each space catering to a unique part of the day. The main spaces are: The Stone House, The Guest House, The Grand/Sycamore Hall, The Pergola, and The Courtyard.

The Stone House

This 200-year-old house is the centerpiece of the venue and the focal point of the entire 10+ acres of land that you’ll have access to! Included in the rental, the entire stone house is accessible for the entire day. The upper story is a dedicated prep space with ample natural light for any hair and makeup needs. The ground floor has plenty of room for the family to relax, as well as a gorgeous fully-equipped kitchen.

The Guest House

The guest house features a warmly-accented loft with a stunning balcony that overlooks the courtyard. The loft features a pool table, TVs, and everything you’ll need to get prepped for the big day. Typically, the groom’s party utilizes this space for wedding prep.

The Courtyard

The courtyard at Stone House of St. Charles is totally unique and, honestly, one of my favorite parts of the venue. Shaded by massive trees and surrounded by elegant stone accents and pavers, this is the perfect place for family photos, first looks, portraits, and cocktail hours, and it makes for the perfect transition into the Grand Hall.

The Pergola

The Pergola is a popular setting for many of the wedding ceremonies at Stone House, and the paved walkway leading to the pergola makes a perfect aisle for you and your wedding party to walk down. The Pergola sits among lush grass and atop a gently-sloped hill which leads to a quiet wooded area. This area is spacious and gets great light if you time the ceremony right!

The Grand Hall / Sycamore Hall

The Grand Hall (sometimes called Sycamore Hall) is a breathtaking, expansive structure that plays host to the receptions at Stone House of St. Charles. The Grand Hall features amazing vaulted ceilings with hefty beams, warm wooden tones, and a gorgeous fireplace. This space is large enough to host over 350 guests with plenty of space for dining and a bustling dance floor. I LOVE when they break out the fog for the first dances!
