For a supposed professional wedding venue they sure failed at some of the most simple things. No signage for guests on the way in.

Cocktail were terrible. I have celiacs disease, had ordered GF meal but had a got sick from the vegan stuffed peppermeal they served. I asked for the list of ingredients. They told me there 4 ingredients and saw several not listed so clearly not a complete list.

We knew when we visited this venue it was the one! The ceremony location was gorgeously overlooking the green hills and the high ceilings in the reception with all the windows sealed the deal.

We have had the pleasure of shooting here on several different occasions for weddings, and our couples as well as us have been thrilled with how many different areas there are to use for photos and videos that are elegant and beautiful. The stone structures, pond, foliage, ivy and arches of this place are so picturesque.

For a supposed professional wedding venue they sure failed at some of the most simple things. No signage for guests on the way in. Over a hundred guests left to bake out in the sun for the cocktail hour with all of 3 cocktail tables and no shade. During the reception, the bar was awkwardly placed outside on the small patio surrounding the ball room. Iced tea and water were put out with the buffet but was warm with no ice. The buffet was 70% salads. Though, the prime rib was acceptable. Whomever is the planner is clearly not experienced enough to be considered a professional. I’m suspicious they even bothered to turn the AC on. There was no point where I was not uncomfortably warm. I don’t know how much they spent on this wedding but it was clearly too much.

What a beautiful review, thank you! There is something so special about that moment when a couple walks into a venue and just knows, and we are so honored that feeling happened at Stonetree Estate. The gorgeous hilltop ceremony views, the light filled reception space, and the food that had guests talking are all things we pour so much love into. A stress free, attentive, and advice filled wedding day experience is exactly what every couple deserves. Congratulations and wishing you both all the very best!

NEVER EVER EVER TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a tour BOOKED today with multiple confirmations for Stonetree Estates. This company decided to TEXT me as I was two hours into my drive there to let me know it had been booked for my dates. When I asked for assistance in finding a different venue/rectifying this issue in any way, they responded with “So, all of our Northern California locations are booked.” I checked and they allow for weddings to be booked for my exact dates on MANY of their northern CA locations. Completely disrespectful to me and my time and completely unhelpful when they know they are in the wrong! Also, it’s basically impossible to get a live person on the phone all they will do is text you. They also make it extremely hard to leave a review, and only show good reviews on their sites. Complete disaster of a “Wedding Planning” crew here. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible decision to try and go with Wedgewood Weddings. I’m two months out from my wedding and had an appointment to tour their Stonetree Estate. I live in the central valley so it’s a two hour drive there. Literally 30 minutes away from our APPOINTMENT that I set two weeks ago they text me it’s booked for our dates. Terrible people and no empathy or attempt to give us other options. Zero stars. Terrible terrible terrible!!!!!

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working at many venues and Stonetree Estate by Wedgewood Weddings is a stunning venue. The venue is nestled in the hills of Novato, offering the perfect mix of elegance and natural beauty. From the scenic ceremony space to the dreamy light during golden hour, every corner of this property photographs beautifully.
The team is also a dream to work with, organized, communicative, and always kind. They care about creating a seamless experience for couples and vendors alike. I especially appreciated how smoothly the timeline flowed throughout the day, which helped us capture all the key moments without stress.
If you're looking for a venue that blends timeless charm with a modern, elevated feel, Stonetree is it. Can’t wait to be back!
