Stonewall Resort, a 2024 winner of The Knot Best of Weddings, will host a Bridal Open House from noon-2 p.m. Sunday, November 10 to showcase the full-service wedding, catering, and event options available to soon-to-be couples at the lakeside resort. The resort will also be giving away a complimentary wedding ceremony to one lucky attendee.

“From selecting a venue, finding vendors, choosing a menu, trying on dresses, wedding planning is full of decisions, details, and opportunities,” said Haleigh Schultz, Catering Sales Manager at Stonewall Resort. “We are excited to showcase what we can offer soon-to-be-newlyweds and how we can ease the process of wedding planning.”

Schultz said the Wedding Open House event will feature the resort’s most popular wedding ceremony and reception venues fully set up and decorated. Guests will be able to sample hors d’oeuvres and visit with preferred vendors. The resort’s wedding professionals will be on site to answer questions while guests visit the resort property.

Attendees at the Wedding Open House will have the chance to win a complimentary wedding ceremony. Attendees must be present during the drawing to win.

Schultz noted that Stonewall Resort, for the ninth year in a row, has been selected as a 2024 winner of The Knot Best of Weddings award. This accolade represents the top local wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples on The Knot, a digital wedding planning authority and one of the largest wedding Vendor Marketplaces in the US.
