Welcome to The Stodola, A Gathering Place

A Barn With a Story Worth Celebrating

The name Stodola means “barn” in Czech—a fitting name for a venue whose story is inseparable from family heritage. The Prince George farm was established in 1907 after the family’s grandparents emigrated from Czechoslovakia, and today The Stodola stands as the centerpiece of a gathering place created for meaningful celebrations.

Peaceful wooded surroundings give weddings a sense of privacy and place, while the barn, outdoor ceremony settings, grain-bin gazebo, covered gathering areas, and farm character create a celebration that feels distinctly its own.

Whether your vision is intimate and understated or a grand celebration filled with family and friends, The Stodola gives the day something no generic ballroom can manufacture: a genuine sense of history, warmth, and belonging.

A Distinctive Prince George Celebration

Entertainment Designed Around The Stodola

A venue with this much character deserves an entertainment plan that respects the setting instead of overpowering it. Sarah's Choice builds the music, microphones, announcements, lighting, and reception flow around The Stodola's barn, outdoor ceremony locations, wooded surroundings, and distinctive gathering spaces.

Professional DJ & MC

Personalized music and confident, polished announcements guide guests through entrances, formalities, dinner, dancing, and the final send-off.

Clear Ceremony Audio

A separate battery-capable sound system supports ceremony music and wireless microphones without requiring nearby venue power.

Venue-Smart Coordination

We coordinate timing and technical needs with the venue, planner, photographer, caterer, and other professionals throughout the celebration.

Multiple Spaces, One Celebration

From the Outdoor Ceremony to the Barn Reception

Outdoor Ceremony Locations

The property offers several outdoor ceremony options, including a setting with a salvaged silo backdrop and sidewalk aisle. Thoughtful speaker placement helps guests hear every important word.

Barn Reception Space

The barn provides the primary reception setting for dining, formal dances, speeches, and open dancing, with climate control available when the doors are closed.

Grain-Bin Gazebo & Covered Lean-To

The unique grain-bin gazebo and expansive covered lean-to provide distinctive gathering areas for guests, photographs, and moments away from the main reception floor.

200-Guest Capacity

The Stodola states that its reception space can accommodate up to 200 guests, with tables, chairs, onsite parking, restrooms, and accessible facilities available.

One Coordinated Celebration

Music From Arrival Through the Last Dance

Ceremony

Prelude music, processional and recessional cues, and wireless microphones are carefully prepared and timed for the selected outdoor ceremony setting.

Cocktail Hour & Dinner

Curated background music creates the right atmosphere while guests mingle, visit the gazebo or lean-to, dine, and enjoy the property.

Reception

Entrances, toasts, formal dances, cake cutting, open dancing, and the final song are managed with intentional pacing and clear communication.

Designed for a Multi-Space Property

Sound Coverage Without Awkward Gaps

Because The Stodola's ceremony, guest-gathering areas, and reception space may be used differently throughout the day, the entertainment plan should be prepared before guests arrive.
