The Stone House at Stirling Ridge in Warren was the setting for a fairytale wedding on Sunday, April 26, 2015. The faux wedding was an innovative and interactive alternative to a traditional bridal show. The event included a ceremony, reception and an after party in the ballroom with a DJ, a spotlight dance, and a photo booth. Guests enjoyed complimentary snacks and wine, goody bags, and raffle prizes.
