Frequently Asked Questions

 

I would like to see the venue – can I just stop by?

Please do NOT stop by. We offer a private property to our clients so we do not allow for any tours, visits or meetings on wedding and event days. The owners also live on property, so all tours & visits are by appointment only.


How do I arrange a tour?

Give us a call (716-560-3821) or send us an email at stoneyoak@mooreroad.com. We'd love to schedule a private tour for you!


What is required to reserve my date/s?

A 50% deposit is required upon contract signing. The remaining 50% is due 60 days prior to your date.


Do you host events all year?

We host indoor events year-round. Outdoor areas are available from May 1 to October 31, weather dependent.


How many guests can you accommodate?

At present, our Event Space can comfortably accommodate 250 guests for a seated dinner. Our Outdoor Patio can seat 200.


How does pricing work?

As our venue hosts custom events, prices vary. During an initial planning meeting, we will review all aspects of your vision and work to create a price based on your needs.


What is included in the rental fee?

Specifics vary by event packages, but may include access to event space, restrooms, lofts, bars, porch, and yard. Events also have access to in-house amenities, including chairs, tables, décor and more. When booking your event, please review the contract to ensure your needs are met.


What are your available hours to book my event?

You can choose to book your event anytime between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM.


Is parking available on-site?

Yes, we have parking for app. 100 cars. It is connected to the covered drive-up porch, allowing for ease of drop-offs and accessible requirements.


Do you have places for the wedding party to get ready?

We have two lofts, each with a private suite allowing privacy for anyone participating in your wedding.


Can we bring and serve our own food?

Yes. We allow clients to bring meals to their private event, or to book their choice of caterers. We do not currently offer food service, and we do not have any exclusive catering contracts. Of course we do know many wonderful restaurants and caterers we can recommend.


What about alcohol?

For alcohol, specific details/ requirements are in your contract. Bar packages will be available in 2024.


Is the Event Space air-conditioned and/or heated?

Yes, it has heat and central air to keep you and your guests comfortable all year long, and the building is insulated.


Can I decorate where my event is taking place?

You may decorate as you wish, but please - no nails, tacks, glue or anything that would put holes or ruin any surfaces. Open-flame candles are permitted with permission. No confetti of any kind, please. Sparklers and fireworks must receive prior approval.


Can pets be a part of our ceremony?

Yes, with restrictions. This will require advanced approval and planning, to ensure the safety of your pets, guests and the staff.


How many events do you host per day?

Typically, we host one wedding or large event a day so that our clients can truly enjoy the day without distraction. This exclusive use of the property gives our clients flexibility on set up, break down and timing of their event.

For small events, we will book two at a time. One side or the other is available, dependent on needs.

For photo sessions, we allow multiple bookings at the same time. On the rare occasion this happens, we work with our clients to ensure they use separate spaces or share their time allowed in ideal locations.
