Stone Valley Meadows

What Stone Valley Meadows does

Stone Valley Meadows is a privately held event venue operator headquartered in Franklin, Ohio, founded in 2019 and serving the Cincinnati-Dayton corridor of southwest Ohio. The company operates a single 13-acre property featuring an 11,000 sq ft custom timber-frame barn (35-foot ceilings, three copulas, reclaimed wood, panoramic valley views) with an attached lounge, separate Bridal Suite and Groom's Suite (each with up to 15 hours of use), a prep kitchen, and an outdoor meadow ceremony space, accommodating up to 350 attendees. Core technical assets include a zone-based wireless audio-visual system (700W per channel amplification, six 500W peak speakers, dual 12" subwoofers, video-over-IP distribution), a 360-degree Matterport virtual tour for remote prospect engagement, and an integrated decor inventory of over $4,500 in re-usable items.

The venue monetizes through a facility-rental model: a base rental includes 16 hours of access (9:00 AM to 1:00 AM plus cleanup), indoor/outdoor chairs and tables, the A/V system, suites, and beverage bar access, plus a $750 refundable damage deposit. Revenue is augmented by a stack of add-on offerings — a 1975 Tag-a-Long Camper photobooth ($800 for 4 hours) or photobooth stand ($400), a full decor rental closet ($500), large rental items (mobile bar $300, arches $150-$450, greenery wall $250, faux florals $60 each), draping services, and caterer facility fees of 12% for preferred vendors and 15% for non-preferred vendors. Packages must be finalized two months prior to events, with installment payment plans and $75 late-payment penalties for slippage beyond seven days.

Stone Valley Meadows runs a direct-to-consumer, appointment-based sales motion — prospective clients inquire via the website, are responded to within 24 hours, schedule in-person tours, and sign contracts directly. The customer base is dominated by wedding couples (primary segment), with secondary segments in corporate event planners and family/social hosts (reunions, birthdays, showers). Distribution relies on the website's virtual tour, organic social (Instagram and Facebook), local SEO, preferred-vendor referrals, and cross-promotion with sister venue White Willow Meadows in Orient, OH. Ownership rests with Angela Norman; the management team includes venue managers Margaret Klippel and Alison Beaulieu and operations manager Ashley Fazlani.
