A Distinctive Prince George Celebration

The Stodola Deserves More Than a Standard Wedding Soundtrack

The Stodola stands on a family farm established in 1907 and carries forward more than a century of heritage. Sarah's Choice builds the music, microphones, announcements, lighting, and reception flow around the venue's barn, outdoor ceremony locations, wooded surroundings, and one-of-a-kind 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.

A Farm Rooted in Family History

More Than a Venue

The word “Stodola” means “barn” in Czech. The venue's story reaches back to the Vtipil family's arrival from Czechoslovakia and the establishment of the Prince George farm in 1907. Today, the property combines family heritage, wooded surroundings, agricultural history, and welcoming event spaces.

Historic Family Farm

The property continues a family story that has remained connected to Prince George County for generations.

Distinctive Photo Backdrops

The hand-painted American flag barn, classic cruiser truck, grapevines, wooded grounds, gazebo, and farm details create memorable portrait locations.

Purpose-Built Guest Amenities

Separate dressing rooms, onsite restrooms, a catering preparation room, vendor access, parking, and accessible spaces support a smoother wedding day.
