Four distinct indoor spaces, each with multiple configurations. From intimate dinners to full celebrations — see exactly how your event fits.
Every Stone House event is different. These numbers reflect real configurations our team has used — not theoretical maximums. Your coordinator will help you design the perfect layout for your guest count.

The largest interior space at Stone House. An irregularly shaped room — a distinctive wedge that narrows from 35 feet at the back wall to 19 feet at the entrance — with original 1857 stone walls on every side. The shape creates visual drama and natural intimacy even at full capacity.
9 rectangular tables in a 3x3 grid with cocktail high-tops. Maximum seated capacity for plated or family-style service.
6 rectangular tables in a 2x3 grid. More spacious feel, room for a dance floor or lounge area within the hall.
8 tables with a dedicated buffet station along the service wall. Natural flow from food to seating.
Tables cleared, cocktail high-tops and lounge furniture. Maximum standing capacity for cocktail-style events.
Dimensions: 45'1" left wall · 35'5" back wall · 26'0" upper right · 19'0" entrance · 14'8" lower right. Service corridor along the right wall leads to the kitchen.
The Showroom features a built-in stage with curtain — originally a performance space, now the most popular ceremony location at Stone House. The angled left wall follows the building's original stone footprint, creating an intimate amphitheater effect where every guest has a clear sightline.
Chairs in two sections with center aisle. Altar positioned at the stage. Curved seating follows the room's natural shape for unobstructed views.
Rows of chairs facing the stage. Ideal for presentations, live performances, or speeches during the reception.
Dimensions: ~22'0" x 20'0" main floor with 13'5" x 12'6" stage area. Built-in curtain and alcove on the right side.
A clean rectangular room on the upper level with two full bar stations at the entrance. The Penthouse works as a self-contained reception space for mid-size events, or as a second dining room for larger celebrations that flow between floors.
Long head table for the wedding party, 6 rectangular tables for guests. Two bar stations at entry. Maximum seated capacity.
Same head table and dining tables, buffet station added along the upper wall. Slightly tighter table spacing with natural buffet flow.
Smaller head table (6 seats), 6 guest tables with generous spacing. Room to breathe — perfect for rehearsal dinners and smaller celebrations.
Tables cleared for cocktail high-tops and lounge seating. Both bars operational. Ideal cocktail hour space while the Great Hall is flipped for dinner.
Dimensions: 26'5" x 34'1" (rectangular). Two bar stations with full cocktail service at the lower end of the room.
The Parlor is Stone House's dedicated cocktail and lounge space on the ground level. An L-shaped bar anchors the right side of the room, with round tables, lounge seating, and a water station creating a relaxed atmosphere that's the natural complement to the more formal dining spaces above.
Round tables (4-tops), lounge clusters with sofas and side tables, L-shaped bar. The go-to space for welcome drinks and cocktail hour while other spaces are being set.
Reconfigured for late-night vibes — lounge seating forward, bar in full swing. When the reception wraps, the party moves here.
Dimensions: ~45'0" x 30'3" x 29'0" x 38'6". L-shaped bar along the right wall with water station in the upper corner.
The Cavern — Floor plans currently being drawn. This space adds additional capacity and flexibility to multi-space events. Details coming soon.
The Courtyard — Our outdoor event space. Capacity varies by configuration. Popular for summer ceremonies (up to 200 guests), cocktail hours, and al fresco receptions. Weather-dependent with seamless indoor backup options.
Most Stone House weddings use three or more spaces throughout the evening. Here are the most popular flows:
Ceremony in The Showroom → Cocktail hour in The Parlor → Dinner and dancing in The Great Hall
Ceremony in The Courtyard → Cocktails in The Parlor → Reception split between The Great Hall + The Penthouse
Ceremony in The Showroom → Everything else in The Penthouse (dinner, toasts, dancing, bars all in one room)
All six spaces in play — ceremony, multiple dining zones, cocktail bars on both levels, outdoor overflow, late-night lounge
