First off, the grounds with charming waterfall & cross we requested for our ceremony were exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. The rustic chic barn with chandeliers was set up beautifully with their tables & chairs. It was so special to have the farmhouse for us and our wedding party to hang out before the ceremony, with both a bridal suite and makeup room for the girls on the second floor. On the first floor the guys hung out and had their own separate room to get ready. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on our special day, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guests all raved about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn't agree more. Thank you Melissa and the staff at Old Stonegate Farms for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

We had our ceremony and reception here, and could not have been happier. Valerie was SOO helpful throughout our 2 year engagement, responding to all of my texts with nothing but kindness and help. The days leading up to it, she had everything sorted out for the wedding to go off without a hitch. I did not notice any problems with the wedding, and when there were some Valerie quickly sorted it out without me noticing anything went wrong. The getting ready rooms, ceremony sites, barn, and outdoor locations were incredibly gorgeous, and I could not recommend this venue and staff more. Our guests all loved the venue and had a blast!

Alaska Haus was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the beginning, their communication was timely, calm, and kind, which helped ease the stress of wedding planning. The quality of their work and value was also superb - they were affordable, accommodating, and offered plenty of options to customize our day. The ceremony and reception site was set up exactly as planned, and we didn't need any extra assistance from the staff. The venue itself is stunning, and we received so many compliments from our guests. The upstairs area was great for a dessert bar, photos, and extra seating, and the groom and groomsmen were able to use it to get ready before the ceremony. The extra patio space was also perfect for our guests to enjoy. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience at Alaska Haus.
