Alaina Nardslico, Matthew Rose

Everyone at Turning Stone is incredibly helpful and truly lovely to work with. Matt and Alaina were especially attentive and made the entire wedding-planning process so much less stressful. They were on top of absolutely everything and executed all of our plans exactly how we envisioned them.

Stress free venue!

The Turning Stone Resort was a beautiful location for our wedding! We got married on the great lawn at the lodge and the reception was held in the clubhouse. Matt Rose was a huge help and guided our wedding planning. Chef Ron and his team made the most amazing wedding food we have ever had. Paula was our assigned server for the day and she was so attentive and on it! The Turning Stone team covered all of the details. It was a perfect day.

5 Stars! Impeccable service and location

Turning stone was an amazing wedding venue! We were able to have our rehearsal dinner, reception, and next day brunch all at Turning Stone and have a completely different experience for each. There are so many different and unique venues that we never even had to leave campus but got so many different vibes. The only thing that didn’t change was the level of impeccable service throughout the whole three days. I would encourage anyone considering turning stone to book without hesitation. The staff all made me feel like a princess on my special day!
