Stonegate Manor, located in Southwest Michigan, is an event estate surrounded by gardens and charm! It's a timeless space charmed by Victorian details.
Stonegate Manor emanates charm and refinement marked by warm gestures of hospitality. The Wedding Venue offers Indoor & Outdoor Receptions, Outdoor Garden Ceremonies, Elopements and Petite Weddings. The venue estate dates back to 1847, crowned by the Manor house. Couples can use the historical house to prepare for their wedding day. A truly magical Fairy Garden is a favorite outdoor ceremony locat
ion. The mature tree canopy and surrounding woods give the space an intimate and inviting feel. Celebrate your wedding day with dinner and dancing in the air-conditioned Riverside Room or under the twinkling lights and massive chandelier of our Estate Tent. Both Reception spaces are yours long after the sun sets over Lake Michigan. This is THE place for you and up to 200 of your guests to celebrate your very special day. This is a stunning place to hold your greatest dreams!

There’s plenty of space at the estate for a little alone time. Go ahead, take a walk as husband and wife, hold hands in a shade loving meadow, and remember the peacefulness found in nature is perhaps the best way to begin your journey.

Fresh pink petals from a recent winter wedding are the perfect reminder of love and beauty during the “off” season.
The petals really stand out in pictures and it’s one of those traditional details that’s fun to see in ceremonies.

A few outdoor pictures of the venue from the early fall. There were still quite a lot of leaves on the trees long into the season. Makes our woodsy-forest vibe extra special!

The Estate was founded over 150 years ago by a wealthy farming/trading family, the Dickinsons. Through the years, the estate has continuously been a hub of activity. The members of the Potawatomi tribe were often seen on the land as they headed towards St. Joseph to trade. Surrounded by orchards, the estate itself became an active center of commerce, as well as a station on the Underground Railroad. The current Manor House was built in 1847 and remains as beautiful as it was the day it was built.
In the 1990’s, Tom (a Family Court Judge) and Prudy (a Pediatrician) Nelson bought much of the property surrounding the Manor House to build their dream home on the Paw Paw River. As often happens, dreams change and their new home was built elsewhere.
Fast forward to 2013, Prudy returned from working in SW Uganda with the dream of doing something to help the orphans and vulnerable children she fell in love with. Along with a Ugandan colleague, the Nelsons co-founded the Orphan Welfare Organization.
To support the OWO, Prudy came up with an idea that combined her penchant for collecting, her love of beautiful things and her passion for parties. My Mother’s Attic Vintage China and Tableware Rental began. It was a great success providing school fees for lots of kids and baptized Prudy in the wedding industry. She loved it!
Shortly after retiring from their professions, an acquaintance suggested the then for sale Manor House and outbuildings would make an amazing, unique and beautiful wedding venue. The Nelson’s agreed and Stonegate Manor began to take shape.
With much love and care, along with a lot of blood, sweat and tears, the estate was transformed to its present day beauty. The original Carriage House and stables have been converted into the beautiful Wedding Cottage. The old House of David Museum became the elegant Riverside Room. The Manor House pretty much stayed its same amazing self and is a wonderful place for family and close friends to gather as they help prepare for the big event. And, let’s not forget, the amazing pictures that can be taken with its jaw dropping backgrounds.
Happily ever after. It’s what we do.
