Stepping Stones Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding, and it holds an extra special place in our hearts. My husband’s siblings had all been married there under the previous owners, so it felt like a meaningful continuation of a beautiful family tradition. Since the new owners took over, they've made some truly stunning changes that have transformed the venue in the best way possible. The updates are thoughtful and well-designed, making the grounds even more breathtaking and the atmosphere even more magical than before. The getting-ready location was gorgeous—spacious, serene, and an ideal setting to relax before the big day. The venue itself was picture-perfect, with so many beautiful spots for photos, and the entire layout was flawless. What really stood out to me was the level of support from the staff. After not hosting weddings for a few years at Stepping Stones since the new owners took over, they were incredibly helpful in coordinating a meeting with our planner to review the layout of the space. They also worked directly with her to help with setup, which meant I didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy my day. There was a minor mix-up with the table arrangements—the paper I had received didn’t align with the website information—but once we clarified things, everything was sorted out smoothly. The staff handled it professionally, and the setup turned out perfectly in the end. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more supportive team to work with. The new owners have truly elevated Stepping Stones Garden, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning, serene, and well-managed wedding venue. It made our day unforgettable!
