Let's start the conversation

Capacity depends on your package: Single Room up to 100 guests; Partial Building (Lounge, Showroom, Courtyard & Cavern) up to 150; Full Building (all seven spaces) up to 300. For events over 150 guests, contact bookings@stonehouse.io for a custom quote. Stated capacities are absolute maximums including children and vendors (fire safety).

We recommend booking as early as possible — ideally 12–18 months ahead for peak Saturdays. Shoulder and off-peak dates often have more flexibility. A holding enquiry can reserve a provisional date for up to 14 days while you decide.

Pricing depends on day of week, spaces selected, and season. We use three seasons: Off-Peak (Jan–Feb), Shoulder (Mar–Apr, Nov), and Peak (May–Oct, Dec). Options include hourly (3-hour minimum) for Single Room and Partial Building on non-Saturdays, or 12-hour blocks (about 40% savings vs equivalent hourly). Saturdays are 12-hour block rental only in all seasons. Full Building is always a 12-hour block.

Exclusive use of your booked spaces for the contracted time; tables, chairs, and standard linen; indoor restrooms; venue staff coordination; setup of venue-owned furniture; and on-site preparation areas. Catering, bar, florals, entertainment, and photography are quoted separately.

Hourly rentals are available Mon–Sun except Saturday, with a 3-hour minimum for Single Room and Partial Building. Twelve-hour blocks save roughly 40% vs hourly and are the only option on Saturdays. Full Building is always booked as a 12-hour block.

A non-refundable 50% booking retainer of estimated venue hire secures your date, due within 7 days of signing. Then: 25% due 3 months before the wedding; final balance (including additions) due 30 days before the event. Final catering numbers and last-minute adds must be confirmed in writing 14 days before the wedding (guaranteed minimum for billing).

Cancellations must be in writing. More than 12 months out: loss of 50% retainer only. 6–12 months: 50% of total contracted value. 3–6 months: 75%. Under 3 months: 100%. We recommend wedding cancellation insurance. Force majeure is reviewed case by case.

Bank transfer (EFT), Visa, and Mastercard. A 1.5% surcharge applies to cards. All balances must be cleared before the wedding — no payments on the event day.

Yes — in-house catering is our preferred option. Outside caterers are allowed for a flat $1,000 fee; they need a current food handler licence, $5M public liability insurance, and documentation submitted at least 30 days before the event.

Our kitchen emphasises high-quality fats — butter, olive oil, avocado oil, tallow, and coconut oil — not industrial seed oils. Ask our catering manager for the current menu and how we handle specific dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies — see below).

Choose 1 or 2 proteins per event; packages include salad, rentals, plates, and flatware. Service styles include buffet, family style, and plated. Add passed appetisers, extra sides, and dessert à la carte. A service fee applies to all food & beverage (not a gratuity). For wedding-specific package pricing and what is included at each tier, see our Wedding Pricing Pamphlet. For corporate or private event quotes, email bookings@stonehouse.io.

Guaranteed minimum must be confirmed in writing 14 days before the wedding. After that, counts can only go up. You are charged for the guaranteed number or actual attendance, whichever is greater.

0–2 years: no catering charge (still count toward capacity/seating). 3–5: 25% of adult price. 6–12: 50%. 13–17: 75% (full adult menu; excluded from alcohol bar package — soft drinks available). 18+: full adult price including bar package. The 20% service fee applies to children's catering too. High chairs available — advise count with final numbers.

Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free/coeliac, dairy-free, nut allergies (including severe), Halal (30 days' notice), low-sodium/diabetic-friendly, and more, at no extra charge when notified at least 14 days before (Halal: 30 days). Collect dietary info on RSVPs and send a full breakdown with final guest count. For life-threatening allergies we use separate prep protocols and labelling; cross-contamination cannot be 100% guaranteed in large-scale catering — guests should speak with the catering manager on the day.

All include professional bartenders and three hours of open bar service (additional hours available on request); 20% service fee applies. Beer & Wine $40/person. Premium $50/person (full liquor). Top Shelf $60/person (includes two custom premium cocktails designed in collaboration with our bar team). Soft drinks are included with catering. Minimum bar spend $1,000 on all weddings — met automatically with a full per-person package; otherwise the minimum is charged (minimum is subject to the service fee). You may not supply spirits or draught beer; wine corkage may be arranged. No unlicensed service. Bartenders may refuse service to intoxicated guests.

Yes — a wedding planner or coordinator is required for every Stone House wedding. You have three options: (1) bring your own outside wedding planner, (2) hire our Day-Of Coordinator ($750) for venue logistics and day-of timeline management — included automatically with Full Building Buyout, or (3) hire our Full Wedding Planner ($2,500) for full design and vendor coordination from booking through wedding day.

Day-Of Coordinator ($750) covers venue logistics and day-of timeline management. It's included automatically with the Full Building Buyout; for all other wedding packages, the $750 Day-Of Coordinator is required unless you bring your own outside planner. Couples who want full design and vendor coordination from booking through wedding day can upgrade to our Full Wedding Planner at $2,500. Floral tiers through our partner from $1,500 to $10,000 (tax-exempt). Photography $3,800 (8 hr, 2 photographers, 500+ images). DJ $2,500 (5 hr). You may bring your own vendors; insurance and licences due 30 days prior.

Yes — vendors working 5+ continuous hours should receive a meal (photo, video, coordinator, DJ/band, etc.). Vendor meals are discounted vs guest pricing, include main + NA beverages only (no alcohol), and the 20% service fee applies. Served during the first course; dedicated vendor area provided.

Nevada County area sales tax is about 8.875% (slight variation by location). Taxable: food, beverage, and the service fee on F&B. Tax-exempt: venue rental, florals, DJ, photography, planning, Day-Of Coordinator. The service fee covers staffing and operations — not a tip.

Allowed: enclosed candles, florals, draping/fairy lights (no nails/staples), signage, centrepieces, battery/LED lighting — approve with your coordinator. Not allowed: nails/tape on surfaces, loose confetti/glitter indoors, fireworks/sparklers, open flames outside glass, fog machines, balloons on structures. Décor setup and breakdown is handled by your decorator, florist, or styling team — Stone House staff sets only the venue's own furniture. Want us to handle décor for you? We offer in-house décor services as an add-on; just request a quote with your coordinator. Remove all third-party décor within your hire period or storage/disposal fees may apply.

Insurance: one-day general liability $1M minimum including host liquor liability — proof 30 days prior (typically $100–$175). Smoking/vaping prohibited inside and within 10m of entrances; designated outdoor area. Noise: Courtyard music ends by 10:00 PM; indoor may run until 30 minutes before contracted end; we monitor volume. Parking: on-site, free; accessible spaces near entrance; overnight OK until 10:00 AM next day. Lost property held 14 days then donated.
