Stone Garden Soirée: A Memorable Gathering

On 18th of July 2025 Stone Garden NH opened its gates to a gathering that celebrated creativity, connection, and community. The Stone Garden Soirée brought together an incredible team of vendors and guests for an dreamlike event. With golden light spilling through the trees, fresh summer air, and a stunning open structure, everything was magical.

As a photographer, I get to witness a lot of special moments, but this evening was something else entirely. It was equal parts elegant and whimsical, polished yet free-spirited, and full of surprises at every turn.

First Impressions in Full Bloom

Guests arrived to find the built pavilion at Stone Garden dressed in soft drapes, string lights, and overflowing florals by To Have and To Grow. The arrangements perfectly echoed the natural beauty of the setting. Soft blush, ivory tones, delicate greenery, and floral runners gracing long wooden tables. Every corner was thoughtfully styled. From the custom place settings by Gooseberry Tabletop to the shimmering glassware that sparkled under the candlelight. The venue’s architecture invited the outdoors in, making it feel as if the entire soirée floated somewhere between the gardens and the sky.

A Culinary Experience by The Porch

As the day unfolded, guests were treated to a beautifully curated dining experience by The Porch Too. Their menu combined comfort with elevated flavor, offering fresh and seasonal dishes that felt warm, welcoming, and undeniably satisfying. Whether it was passed bites or plated courses, every dish was crafted with care and served with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Guests gathered around the long tables, shared stories, and lingered over their plates well into the evening.

The Porch Too brought heart and flavor to the event in a way that made everyone feel nurtured and connected.

Music, Movement, and Meaningful Moments

One of the most unforgettable moments of the day? The aerial bartender, @jessiecatblack, pouring champagne while suspended upside down inside a hoop. Her sparkling bodysuit and crown caught the light as she moved gracefully above the lawn, balancing elegance and showmanship in a way that left every guest completely awestruck. It was equal parts performance and hospitality, and it truly captured the spirit of the evening. Guests mingled, toasted with bubbly, and watched in delight as she floated above them, bottle in hand and smile beaming.

Live music by The Maniac Loves You filled the air with feel-good tunes that drifted through the trees. Their laid-back style added to the garden party vibe and brought people together in conversation and rhythm. As the sky shifted into blue hour, the combination of music, laughter, and glasses clinking made the space feel warm and alive.

The bar, tucked under a charming wood-framed structure and run by Stone Garden Mixology, became a focal point for conversation and connection. With floral accents and soft overhead lights, it felt more like a secret garden speakeasy than a bar in the middle of the countryside.

Every Frame Worth Capturing

From the moment guests stepped foot on the property, there was no shortage of scenes worth photographing. Families embraced, friends clinked glasses, and every detail was beautifully curated yet totally unforced. I loved watching people pause mid-sentence to admire the florals or walk across the lawn just to get a better view of the aerial act.

The Luxury Box Photo Booth added an interactive touch, with prints and poses that made sure everyone left with a keepsake. Meanwhile, inside the tent, the glow of candles reflected off glassware and polished floors, wrapping the day in a soft, cinematic warmth.

A Celebration of Collaboration

This soirée was a celebration of artistry and partnership. It was a chance to breathe in the beauty of summer, to reconnect with fellow creatives, and to celebrate what’s possible when talented people come together with intention.

To the team at Stone Garden NH, thank you for creating such a timeless and inviting space. To the vendors, your artistry turned this vision into something unforgettable. And to everyone who attended, your presence made this evening come to life in the most joyful way.
