Occasions at Stone River

I could not have had my wedding if it weren't for all of the wonderful help from Occasions' staff. The place is beautiful! The staff is great! The food is out of this world good!

I would recommend Ocassions at Stone River to anyone that wants to have an amazing wedding & reception. The wedding coordinator Angela made our whole experience outstanding. The Chef Zach was very accommodating to our special request & the food was great! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding experience!

We had our wedding here almost a month ago and it was wonderful! We were able to bring in our own decorations and use some of theirs as well. They accommodated a lot of our needs and adjusted to me changing my "vision" every week (thank you Pinterest) with no issues at all!
The food was amazing and all the guest kept coming up to tell us this. Everyone loved the photobooth that they have! It was a big hit!
Angela is awesome and heaven sent!!! She made my stress level drop everytime we talked! The DJ, the owners, and the staff are beyond nice and very professional as well! I loved every moment of our wedding and I'm so glad we picked Occasions as our venue! It was the Best Day Ever! :)

Occasions does the most beartiful venue, and it was absolutely perfect for my wedding.

The staff was excellent,professional and very service oriented. The wedding coordinators, the DJ, the photographer, the videographer and the pastor on site were all outstanding, courteous, polite and had a positive attitude. The venue was gorgeous, well maintained and exquisitely decorated. The reception, food and wait staff were all excellent, efficient and very amenable. If I could give the venue a "10" on this website, I would!

There are so helpful with everything. I did not have to worry about anything on my wedding day. They took care of everything and made sure everything went smoothly. The staff there is super nice and will answer any questions you may have at any time. They were available to me whenever I needed them. I would HIGHLY recommended using Occasions at Stone River. The place is beautiful and the staff is superior.

Occasions at Stone River is the place to go if you want an elegant atmosphere at a reasonable price! Our wedding was less than a week ago (Saturday, June 23, 2012), and I could not wait to return from my honeymoon and write a great review!

Although my husband and I live in the Grand Prairie area (about an hour away from the venue), we knew that Occasions at Stone River was the our wedding venue as soon as we saw it! Our wedding theme was "country elegance", and Occasions at Stone River delivered!

Venue: The venue looks exactly like the pictures! We were stunned when we saw it for the first time. It's really beautiful. I loved the ceremony area because it was an intimate setting. Sometimes, large spaces make it seem like there is a small number of guests. Our guests kept raving about the wedding! They loved the laid back, country atmosphere outside. They also loved the setting inside the ceremony building and the elegance of the reception space. We had our wedding inside, but everyone loved seeing the swans and the gazebo.

Food: Everyone loooooved the food! Our families know good food, and several people thanked us for choosing good food. We chose the Ranchers Menu, which included smoked pork, beef, and turkey along with a roll. We chose mashed potatoes and green bean almondine for the sides. We added a special punch that Occasions makes. People kept saying how much they loved it. It was really good. The food was great.

Music: Peter the Motivator DJ was a joy to work with during our wedding. He had some problems finding some songs that we really wanted, but he fixed the issue and joined up with Micah, the DJ. Micah added the other songs and kept that going while Peter kept the party going! Peter was very organized and contacted me many times before the wedding. He was personable, fun, and happy... which was a joy. His great ideas such as the money dance and the anniversary dance as well as the special entrance really kept the party going. Some people were worried that the wedding would not be as exciting because our ceremony was at 11:30am, but it was quite the opposite... thanks to Peter! When I had no idea of what to do, Peter filled it in and made great choices. Peter and Micah worked it out at our wedding!

Service: I can't say enough about Ms. Angela and Ms. Betty! They were so nice and accommodating from the very start! They were awesome. They had ideas and were in control and laid back even when I was a worried bride. Our cake caterer had an accident and left us with no wedding cake caterer less than two months before our wedding. Ms.Angela called one of her contacts in Royse City (Simply Everything),
and we were able to do a tasting that same day. The cake was delicious, creative, and less expensive than the other cake! Ms. Angela and Ms. Betty went above and beyond my expectations! Also, the servers at the wedding were very courteous and professional.

My husband and I had the wedding of our DREAMS! Our wedding day was so much MORE than we could have imagined. I don't know how they did it, but they "wowed" me ... and I'm the bride! lol. I felt like we had a wedding that costs twice as much as it really did. I would suggest Occasions at Stone River to any and every bride! Don't worry about it being far. We had a packed ceremony and reception. Everyone made it. Don't worry about having an early wedding (if you choose that option), it can still be just as fun if not more fun than an evening one!

I'm so happy I picked Occasion's for my wedding. The place looked fabulous and the food was amazing! Angela is very helpful and knows the in and outs of wedding planning. I wish I would have trusted her and Occasions more from start and it would have saved me lots of $. I brought in way too many little decorations and such which were not needed, when she says they have candles, ashtrays, and other items believe her! Also paid for outside florist, which really isn't needed with all the centerpieces they provide. Great place to get married!

Everything you could possibly want for a wedding. Perfect 10

I only had six months to plan my wedding and I knew that Occasions at Stone River was the perfect place for us. Having a short amount of time to plan Angela was WONDERFUL!! She was very helpful and was easy to contact. The venue and the reception was so beautiful. The food they served was so delious. I couldn't have planned a better wedding for the money and time I had to plan.

the people here are great. i only had 1 problem with the venue and its a small mistake (the reception light colors were wrong). i love the people,they are very understanding and great,and the food is wonderful.

Everything about my daughters wedding was simply PERFECT!!

My wedding took place 6 weeks after I was engaged! I could NOT have done this without Occasions at Stone River, a one stop shop. All I had to do is choose my selections with them, they did the rest. I would highly recommend this wonderful venue to anyone!! The staff there is so easy to work with they all went above and beyond my expectations to ensure my day was PERFECT!!

Occasions was the first place my husband and I looked at for our wedding ceremony/reception and we booked it that day. I love the all inclusive feel of occasions but the wedding party still has control of the day and what they want. The catering occasions provides is top of the line, big shout out to Chef Zach and his amazing team. Everyone raved about the food. Angela our wedding day coordinator is the best at what she does. She is so calm and level headed, exactly what I needed the day of. This venue is gorgeous!

Occasions was the first place that I was actually able to visit for my wedding location and I absolutely fell in love. The service was wonderful, the food was magnificent and it was absolutely a great price for everything that they offered. If I had it to do over again, I would choose them all over again!!!!!

Me and my husband looked all over dallas for a place to have our wedding and when we finally found Occasions I knew as soon as I walked through the door that this would be the place I would have my wedding. The owner Betty and her husband treated me and my family with so much kindness and made us feel at home. And Angela our coordinator was so sweet she made our day perfect . I would always recommend them for anyones special day.

A friend of mine got married at Occasions in May of 2010 and I liked the place quite a bit , but what really was the deciding factor for me was her DJ Peter, so I booked my October Wedding here as well. I didn't have one person complain about anything everyone who attened out wedding said "it was the best wedding they'd ever been to". How often do you find that people have nothing to complain about?? Its RARE. Everyone complimented on the personal touches of our wedding, how good the food was, how well put together everything was....everything was just as I had always hoped it would be....perfect. I have to go back to Peter the DJ, this man is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. His work truely speaks to the good person he is and lives to be. When Peter did our "Love Story" (A MUST if you have your wedding here) he spent over 16 hours working with us to record our story perfectly. He came to our house 2 different times to make sure everything would be perfect. He was patient while we recorded some things over and over and over. While all of this was alot of work it was truely worth it in the end. Our reception is what made the wedding "the best wedding anyone had ever been to". My day couldn't have turned out any better and I owe most of that to Occasions Staff, and to Peter Silander.....thank you so very much.

One word: AWESOME!!!
I have nothing but great things to say about Occasions at Stone River, from the Chapel to the reception hall everything turned out great. Chef Zach did a wonderful job with the food. The owner and staff was AWESOME!!! The only service I didn't use was the DJ other than that the day was GREAT...

Occasions at Stone River was such a wonderful venue for both a reception and a wedding. My wife and I fell absolutely in love with them the moment we walked through the door to preview the site. They have many great services available. They have an in-house DJ and Caterer that are known throughout the DFW area as the best. Throughout the reception and afterward people kept commenting on how great the food and the DJ was. You cannot do better if you are looking for one place to take care of all the loose ends for you. They will do as much or as little as you would like them to do. Our only complaint is that we were unable to have the actual ceremony there, There chapel holds around 200 and we needed a little more than 250. Other than that we still used the bridal suite and the reception area! It was the wedding of our dreams!!!

Occasions at Stone River was my venue for my ceremony and reception. I LOVE the chapel!!! It was absolutely PERFECT in EVERY WAY!! If the night time reservation was still available when we went to visit, we would have chosen that. Occasions has dramatic chandeliers and several different lighting options which obviously can be seen better at night. Needless to say...I still picked Occasions and changed my wedding from night time to day time Just Because I loved it so much!! I searched and searched for venues and never really liked any others. The first day we visited Occasions at Stone River...we booked it. Angela was my coordinator and she is wonderful! We felt like she was one of our friends and she understood my vision and was so easy to work with. The day of my wedding I didn't have to worry about what anything looked like besides myself. I knew from getting to know Angela and knowing that we were on the same page with the look and feel of the wedding that if any 'glitches' happened, she would fix it exactly how I wanted it. THATS a great feeling!!!! The better news is....everything went perfectly and all of our guests commented on how smooth and beautiful the wedding was. Everyone we talked to said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I would definitly recomment Occasions at Stone River. They really care about you and your guests and it shows.

I couldn't have had my wedding at a better place. The weather was horrible that day and they accomidated the wedding party and guests surprisingly well. They even escorted our guests from the chapel to the reception hall with huge umbrellas due to the rain. The food was excellent and the DJ was absolutely wonderful. Everything was decorated in a way that matched the exact colors of my wedding with no extra charge. We were allowed to bring in our own alcohol which cut down the cost of the wedding. Betty, her husband, and our wedding planner (which was included in the low cost of our wedding) were the best! I had no worries the day of my wedding (except the rain) because Darby, our planner, made everything go so smoothly. She was so sweet and even put up with some of my bridezilla moments without ever taking a smile off her face. I was a little upset when I walked into the reception and they had the meat set out to be put on rolls but Darby quickly changed that and within a few minutes, those pesky rolls were gone and they were slicing the meat on the cutting board. Everyone told me this was the best wedding they had ever attended from the awesome officiant to the smallest little thing like the perfect lighting. Everything was AMAZING!!!!!

I was the 'First Bride at Occasions at Stone River' and I would def. recommend to all my family and friends. It was an amazing & beautiful venue. The entire staff really treats you like family. Our wedding was so beautiful, we couldn't of asked for anything better. Occasions at Stone River is the best venue in town.
