  • One of my favorite venues in the Columbia area. The views of the river are spectacular. The venue will accomodate a nice size wedding reception or a comfort size luncheon. I recently attended an event there and the staff is top notch. Bar service is always super friendly. I 100% recommmend this venue for your next party, reception, party, etc. You cannot find better staff than this bunch of employees.

  • We recently hosted our class of 1984 40th high school reunion at Stone River, and it was an unforgettable experience! Valerie was incredibly accommodating and patient, ensuring everything went smoothly. The bartenders (your assistance with the signature drinks—thank you!) and staff were fantastic, making sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this venue for any special event!
