Stonegate Manor

Stonegate Manor & Gardens is a historic Victorian estate wedding and event venue set on 12 acres of manicured grounds in Southwest Michigan, between the downtowns of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor near Lake Michigan. The estate was built in 1847 and features mature trees, vibrant flower gardens, a koi pond with a custom-built footbridge, and a lush forested setting that frames both ceremony and reception experiences. The estate offers two ceremony sites — the wooded Fairy Garden, which seats up to 190 guests beneath a canopy of trees, and the Pergola on the front lawn — alongside indoor and outdoor reception options. The Riverside Dining Room provides a climate-controlled setting with dimmable chandeliers and waterfall string lighting for up to 200 guests, while the adjacent Estate Tent accommodates up to 160 with chandelier and string lighting and garden views. The two reception spaces can be combined to host up to 250 guests total. All packages include staff setup and breakdown, tables and padded chairs, handcrafted indoor and outdoor bars, a floating dance floor, a caterer prep kitchen, fire pit seating, and a complimentary one-hour engagement photo session on the grounds.
