the naming of Selmer + Stone
Selmer is a family name and has Scandinavian roots. The name itself originated from the Old Norse elements "selr" meaning "house" and "mar" meaning "maid" or "maiden." It can be interpreted as "house of the maiden" or "maiden's dwelling."
Stone on the other hand symbolizes not on the foundation of the venue itself but also how a strong foundation is key in a marriage.
The combination of the two, Selmer + Stone, embodies a sturdy and enduring structure — which we believe is key in long lasting, loving marriage.
