Stoneridge Estate stands apart as Queenstown's only lakeside hotel venue offering direct waterfront access combined with private estate grounds spanning multiple ceremony and reception spaces.
This working vineyard property delivers the rare advantage of on-site accommodation for 100+ guests, eliminating the logistics nightmare of scattered hotels across town.
The estate's dual-purpose design—functioning as both luxury hotel and wedding venue—means your guests experience seamless hospitality from arrival through departure.
My husband and I chose to get married at Stoneridge not only because it's a stunning venue with truly unique spaces and vistas, but because they offer wedding packages. Stoneridge know all the best vendors in Queenstown and took all the stress out of wedding planning. Every staff member we met from our first tour of the venue to the wedding day itself were happy, helpful and professional. The food was exceptional, the coordinator and planner were just a joy to work with and the wait staff and other folk who worked so hard behind the scenes to make our day as special as it was made us exceptionally proud to host our wedding at Stoneridge. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
