Weddings

• Prime Location – Stonegate Farm is centrally located between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, 45 minutes north of Kingston, Ontario’s oldest City. We are minutes away from Big Rideau Lake and the magnificent Rideau Canal Waterway System; at the edge of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, a UNISCO world heritage site; in the heart of Southeastern Ontario.
• Convenient Accommodations: With a wide variety of nearby accommodations — ranging from charming B&Bs (including ours!), airbnb options, and cozy cabins, to hotels and camping spots — your out-of-town guests will find comfort and convenience close by.
• Historic Charm: Our historic 1850’s limestone farmhouse offers a truly unique and picturesque backdrop for your ceremony or celebration, reflecting the region’s rich history and timeless beauty.
• Scenic Stone Courtyard: Overlooking our tranquil hayfield and lush sugar bush, our stone courtyard is a favoured spot for both ceremonies and receptions, providing a stunning and peaceful setting for your special day.
• Diverse Outdoor Settings: Whether you’re drawn to the peaceful serenity of our sugar bush, the open expanses of our waving hayfields, or the calming atmosphere of our wetlands, we offer multiple pastoral locations to choose from—each adding its own unique charm to your celebration.
• Rustic Atmosphere if the sounds of horses whinnying, sheep baaing, or a rooster crowing don’t align with your vision of the perfect event, this may not be the right fit. However, if you’re looking for a rustic, experience, it’s the perfect venue!

We book and hold  elopements, vow renewals or intimate weddings year-round. Tight timeline? We’ll endeavour to make it a reality.

We take bookings year-round for large outdoor events (weddings or social gatherings) held from May to October. 

• Fireworks, Sparklers and Open Flames: Due to safety and environmental concerns, fireworks and sparklers are not permitted at the venue. The use of open flames is only allowed in designated areas and subject to seasonal fire bans.
• Noise Curfew: To respect the tranquil environment of the farm and neighbouring properties, music must be kept at a reasonable volume after 10:00 PM.
• Parking: Free onsite parking is available. All guests must park in the designated parking areas.
• Prohibited Items: Due to the natural surroundings and the environmental impact, confetti, glitter, and non-biodegradable materials are not allowed. Please consult with us for eco-friendly alternatives.
• Smoking: Smoking is only allowed in designated smoking areas. No smoking is permitted within the farmhouse, outdoor ceremony areas, or near flammable structures.

No, we’ll endeavour to coordinate a convenient time for all involved.

Tables and chairs come in a variety of shapes, colours, and comfort levels. While some venues supply these items, they’re the same chairs and tables they offer everyone.

We offer a small selection for tables and chairs for intimate events. We do not provide tables or chairs for large outdoor gatherings. There are a number of companies in the area that specialize in providing event rental services, which we can share with you.

We offer onsite catering for small events, only (max 10).

For large outdoor gatherings, our venue gives you the opportunity to select from a variety of food service providers, unlike hosting an event at a traditional wedding venue. An additional benefit is our location, we are situated within the heart of an agricultural community. Discerning caterers are able to source a wide variety of wholesome local ingredients and fresh produce for your event.

Yes, you or your caterer can bring in beverages, however, you must provide a certified bartender(s).  If your caterer does not provide a certified bartender(s), you’ll be required to meet the terms and conditions in the event contract.

There is no corkage charge.

We offer restroom facilities for intimate events only.

For large outdoor gatherings, as hayfields and woodlands do not have modern bathrooms, there are local businesses that provide this contemporary comfort. Portable toilet facilities are as elegant as those found in a fine hotel or venue. Trailer facilities can have flushing china toilets, hot and cold running water, music, air conditioning, hardwood accents and modern flooring. With even the most basic facilities having lights and running water.

For large DIY outdoor gatherings, onsite access is provided for set-up and clean-up, based on the venue rental period and during agreed upon hours.

We require advance notice of vendor rental deliveries/pickups, and drop-off location(s) on the property.

Pets are welcome and must be supervised by their owner(s) at all times.

The venue/property is available for visits; weather permitting, year-round, by appointment.
