They are BEYOND disrespectful. For what you pay for this place, you can get much better. -from a bride that got married at stone house.

Check out the New Town web site for all kinds of events - flea markets, fireworks, festivals, kid's events, and lots of entertainment. Since most people in New Town walk all over the place, the parking is always good, even for large events. People are welcoming and friendly. Check out the wine bar, coffee shop, diner and grocery store. Take a walk around the parks, fountains, lake, and other water features. Go to church in the adorable chapel. New Town is family friendly, and just a fun place to visit!

I came here for a wedding last weekend and fell in love with this venue. The town is based on…read moreSeaside, FL, which I absolutely adore. I've been there twice and plan to return asap. For those of you who aren't beach experts like me, Seaside was the site for the movie The Truman Show. While New Town is a bit too cookie-cutter perfect (some people were saying eerie), the Italian-style bridges, the fountained lakes and the stone cutouts for bonfires are nothing less than charming. It happened to be a chilly night so I was glad for the little venue selling hot chocolate and cappuccino. I spotted a diner, sports bar, church and market all within two blocks of each other. There were also two sand volleyball courts, and games continued until midnight. The idea of New Town and others like it is to be able to walk to any place you would need within a square mile. It's sort of like living in a bubble with all the necessities: furniture shops, clothing stores, a spa, recreation, a book store, music store, etc. Quite a beautiful bubble, though, I must admit...

Extremely Disorganized and Unprofessional Experience…read more I attended my friend's wedding here, and from start to finish, the experience was frustrating and disappointing. The venue changed the tasting date last minute without offering any alternative options -- they simply picked a new date, which the groom couldn't even attend. The wedding coordinator also wasn't present for the rehearsal and had her coworker fill in instead. We practiced the ceremony outside, but at 10 PM the night before the wedding, the bride received a text saying they hadn't paid for the outdoor space -- meaning the wedding would now be moved indoors. No one followed up that night, and when the mother of the bride called the next day, the staff was rude and dismissive until an additional fee was finally paid to resolve the issue. On the morning of the wedding, the bridal party couldn't even get into the bridal suite for over an hour. It took 6-7 people calling and messaging staff before we finally got the access code. During setup, the head table was missing four chairs, and one guest table was missing entirely. When this was brought to the coordinator's attention, she stressed the groom out by asking him what he wanted to do instead of calmly handling the problem herself. To make matters worse, the DJ (who was not booked through the venue) made multiple mistakes -- including playing the wrong father-daughter song and introducing the best man incorrectly -- which just added to an already chaotic day. Before the ceremony began, staff rudely told guests to "get off their phones," which several people commented on afterward as being unnecessary and unprofessional. At the end of the day, the bride and groom still had a wonderful time, but that was because of who they are, not because of this venue. The joy of the couple and their guests carried the day -- despite the venue's disorganization, lack of communication, and poor customer service. If you think there aren't wedding venues out there that operate unethically or take advantage of couples during such an important time -- think again. This is one of those places. Their behavior throughout the entire process felt careless, opportunistic, and deeply unprofessional.

Wedding Venue Review: A Disappointing Lack of Professionalism…read more I recently attended my friend's wedding at this venue and was very disappointed by the venue's consistent lack of professionalism and preparation, particularly from the coordinator and key staff. While the couple is extremely easy-going, the amount of logistical errors and poor service created unnecessary stress and anxiety on what should have been their most joyful day. The issues, starting with minor planning flaws and escalating to major day-of failures, indicate a severe operational problem at this facility. Failures in Planning and Communication The disorganization began during the planning stages: * The wedding coordinator was repeatedly late for scheduled meetings. * The food tasting was abruptly rescheduled the day before, making it impossible for the groom to attend. * The coordinator was unavailable to attend the official wedding rehearsal. * The most concerning communication failure occurred the night before the wedding: the venue texted the bride at 10 pm stating the ceremony would be moved inside, claiming she had never requested an outside location (which was not true). When the bride responded immediately to correct the error, no one answered leaving her stressed the night before her wedding. Didnt even answer her the next day. Unacceptable Day-Of Service The problems reached a critical point on the wedding day: * Bridal Suite Access Delay: The bridal party and hair/makeup artists, who were scheduled to start at 8:00 AM, were left waiting for 30 minutes outside the paid-for suite. We had to repeatedly call and message staff before an access code was finally provided, with no apology or assistance offered. Finally one of bridesmaid had to download a file from the website to be able to access their after hours phone number to get a hold of someone. * Wrong Ceremony Music: The incorrect father-daughter dance song was played during a pivotal moment of the reception. * Rudeness and Set-Up Errors: * The head table was missing 4 seats. When a member of the bridal party pointed this out, the staff handled the correction with obvious frustration, treating the request as an "inconvenience" rather than fixing their own mistake. The wedding coordinator also rolled her eyes at this mistake. * We discovered that Table 16 was completely missing when guests could not find their seats. When alerted, the coordinator again reacted poorly, acting as though setting up the forgotten table was an unreasonable request. * Poor Bar Service: The bar staff was noticeably rude and dismissive when taking drink orders from guests throughout the evening. For a highly anticipated and expensive event for this couple and their families, the service provided by this venue was shockingly negligent. The staff's repeated mistakes and discourteous attitude toward the wedding party and guests made this a profoundly negative experience. I urge other couples to consider these major operational and service failures before booking here.

As a fresh new resident of St Louis and moving quickly into a new relationship 3 days after my…read morefirst divorce, I was on the lookout for a wedding venue for marriage #2. I'll spend $1,000 on some shoes but a wedding? No way. My first and second marriage total come to about $150 and if I ever add a marriage #3, the total won't be more than $250. This was 5 years ago and I wasn't picky but we really found a gem. I wanted to get the wedding in right around Thanksgiving to have a future excuse to get out of family holidays. The quick scheduling (less than 2 weeks) and $75 happy hour special (between 12 and 2) were perfect! Canned champagne in the parking lot beforehand, a quick in and out that totaled no more than 30 minutes, a few friends and we were hitched! The morning was spent at the gym and the evening was spent eating waffles and drinking cocktails on Cherokee (after a costume change, of course!). So stress free and cheap. The background used to be pink/rose but it looks like they've painted it a nice grey to update. It also had some wild carpet which looks now to be wood. It is (or was) cheezy in a classy way, if you know what I mean. Now it may be a little nicer which is fine but I enjoyed the quirky charm. When you first come in, you spend a few minutes with the officiant in the office getting things laid out. Then, it's on! We wrote our own vows, made jokes, and overall loved the officiant. I cannot believe people spend so much on weddings when this is just perfect and gets the job done (over and over and over again, if necessary).
