Wedding Venue: Stone Haven in Alabama

Stone Haven is located outside of Section, Alabama (about an hour east of Huntsville, AL), and looks like something out a fairytale! In this blog post you’ll not only get the details on this luxurious wedding venue, but you’ll also be given suggestions for when to plan a wedding here, photographer and videographers, wedding cakes and flowers!

Stone Haven’s Italian wedding venue inspired details:
What if you could get married in Italy… but without having to travel so far?
First of all, there’s a 5,000 sq. ft. Victorian house provided for the wedding party to get ready. If desired, the groom and his groomsmen can utilize their own private house. The fully enclosed reception space is 40x100, has a romantic 40x50 glass conservatory, and an outdoor ceremony space with a view to rival the Palace at Versailles. And for la cerise sur le gâteau (the cherry on top), there is an intimate honeymoon suite that sits on the edge of the bluff.

Why you should get married in Huntsville, AL at Stone Haven:
Your wedding isn’t an event… it’s an experience. One of the most important aspects of your day is going to be the location and venue. A luxury venue like this does the work for you in setting the atmosphere. As a wedding photographer, believe me when I tell you there is no venue like this in the South.
Besides the stunning design of this venue, one of the great aspects is that there is plenty of space for the wedding party to get ready. But my personal favorite element is the private honeymoon suite! A wedding day flys by, and this is one way that you can truly soak in the experience.
While this venue boasts of plenty of room for a large wedding, they cater to intimate occasions like micro weddings and elopements.

Huntsville wedding photography and videographer:
My husband and I are based in Nashville and offer wedding photography and videography to the surrounding areas. Our heart is presence. After being in the wedding world for over 15 years, I’ve seen firsthand how a wedding day often turns into a production. Our goal is to help you stay in the moment, fully enjoying every detail you’ve planned! Our style is documentary and editorial, capturing your day in a way that showcases not just how it looked, but how it actually felt. We shoot a mixture of 35mm film and digital photos, and my husband is my second shoot who also captures video moments of your day through the format of video postcards.
