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!

It feels like just yesterday that Alysa contacted me to shoot her wedding! Well, it wasn’t yesterday, but it WAS just two months before the wedding. Dang, 2020 is weird, right? Anyways, here’s a beautiful wedding at Stone House of St. Charles that I had the privilege of photographing. Check it out!
Wedding Photography at Stone House of St. Charles
It feels like just yesterday that Alysa contacted me to shoot her wedding! Well, it wasn’t yesterday, but it WAS just two months ago. Dang, 2020 is weird, right? I’m gonna let you in on a little wedding photographer’s secret. There are lots of ways to attract super cool couples and convince them to shoot your wedding day. Some photographers attend wedding shows. Some photographers beg and plead while crying. I’ve done both. However, for this specific couple, I used good ol’ nepotism because Alysa is my cousin! So, of course, when Alysa and Kyle reached out to me, I was absolutely ecstatic.
This one was a fun one, and I think it’s super apparent in the sum total amount of smiles that permeated every part of the day. Also, their babies are beyond beautiful. Also, nobody dances like my family. I’ll write a full review of wedding photography at Stone House of St. Charles in the next few weeks but, as far as my initial thoughts, it’s a gorgeous venue with fantastic potential no matter the weather! It’s important that a venue be able to “work” at any point in the itinerary, during any season, and at any time during the day. During the getting ready time, you’re met with huge, soft window light and simply decorated rooms so as to not distract from the humans in the photos. The courtyard is spacious enough for family photos and totally well-lit, and the reception hall is more than equipped for anything you can throw at it.
