Please Read Before Booking – If You Want the Wedding Day You Deserve, Don’t Book Here
When my husband and I first met the owner, she was so kind and reassuring. She promised we “w...
ouldn’t have to lift a finger” and told us about her beautiful horses, silk flowers, and luxury package. She even said she’d order silk flowers in my color palette—something not in the contract—which convinced us to book the extra $2,000 luxury package.
After we signed, she completely changed. She denied ever promising the silk flowers in my color palette, trying to get me to use her old, worn-out ones instead. I ended up spending nearly $1,000 of my own money on décor. When I dropped everything off, she said, “You know where they go, so you can put them up.” I reminded her that I paid for decorating service, but she just ironed tablecloths—a task that was already part of the basic package.
Then came the billing nightmare. She told us we owed her far more than we did, even though we’d already overpaid. When we sent bank statements proving it, she became angry and called us “drug addicts” and “broke.” We had told her early on that we’re in long-term recovery and that I work in the recovery field, so those comments were cruel and unprofessional. When we offered to bring the proof in person, she refused and said she couldn’t read it because she “had one eye,” then hung up. Later she admitted she found the missing payments—but by then, the stress and fear she caused were overwhelming.
She also told us her horses were sick and one had died, so they wouldn’t be at our wedding. Later, we saw Facebook posts advertising photo sessions with those same horses—alive and healthy. On our wedding day, when my coordinator asked her where the horses were, she said, “They’re well and alive,” yet there wasn’t a single horse in sight.
The wedding day itself was awful. The barn was full of flies—landing on our faces and even our pastor during the vows. They covered our $400 cake so badly we had to throw it away. She was paid to bartend until 8 p.m. but stopped at 7, ignored guests, was rude, and started tearing down tables early. The bubbles for our grand exit were left unopened on the favor table, and by night’s end, they were gone. My coordinator searched everywhere. We never got our exit photos because she forced the night to end.
There’s so much more I could say because there was so much more she did. Every interaction leading up to the wedding was stressful. She starts off warm and caring, but once she has your money, she becomes cold, rude, and unprofessional. I cried myself to sleep many nights before the wedding, terrified it wouldn’t even happen. No couple deserves that. Please—read the reviews carefully and save yourself the heartbreak.
HOW ABOUT: No stars. I hate to leave reviews. Especially negative reviews. I don’t typically go out of my way to do so. The owner of this venue was an absolute horrible “host” for ...
my sister… the beautiful, selfless, loving, bride. Fortunately, neither myself, my sister, or my family are the type to make a scene or let someone so miserable, a stranger (Sandy…I believe her name is..) ruin such a prominent day.
Her presence during the ceremony and the reception was horribly uncomfortable for myself, our guests, and the entire family (because do not think for one second that my entire family does not know how this woman treated my sister and her husband.) Sandy made guests feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, and the venue was sub par to say the least. Nothing special about it.
I could have had the wedding in my backyard for free and with much less stress and anxiety.
My sister has a heart of gold. Nothing could have ruined this night for her. For him. For us. Despite the fact that sandy is obviously in the wrong industry..
The decorations my sister arranged herself were elegant and beautiful and made with love and care. The bridal party was blessed and looked absolutely amazing. The DJ was awesome. The catering team was so sweet, and NATASHA AND AMY literally are now family to us. They saved the day and made this so special for my sister. They were a huge support to the bride, groom and rest of the bridal party. Thank you ladies. So amazing!!
And my sister and Teddy are happily married.
Beautiful place, but unfortunately the staff was unwelcoming, unkind and just all around ruined the vibe of the wedding. This is coming as a guest. The party felt rushed and we all...
felt like we were getting pushed out. Decor was being taken down before 7pm. Had a rolling cart pouring drinks in a bucket which was very tacky. Most of the time the person at the open bar wasn’t there, so you had to wait or just come back when you saw someone come back. Definitely wouldn’t recommend if you’re wanting to party and have a good time after the ceremony.
Amazing is all I have to say. I had my wedding and reception at Silver Creek Stables and I was very pleased. The service was spot on. I had Sandy do my flowers and design my entire...
wedding. I chose my own colors and theme and she nailed it. Sandy has a incredible sense of design and you will see it when you enter her farm and venue. My wedding was everything I dreamed of, and my mom was stress free. We bought the whole package and they had it all set when we arrived. And the venue is OMG so pretty! I highly recommend this venue.
Couldn’t have ask for a more magical venue for my daughters wedding this past June 22nd. We feared rain, but the sun shined bright & my daughter’s wishes to be married outside w...
ere met. The guests were in complete awe with how gorgeous Sandy’s place is. They’re still talking about it. We had moments of stress, but Sandy got us through & kept assuring us all would be perfect. She was definitely right. They had the wedding of their dreams!!! Thank you Sandy for everything!!!
My daughter just had her wedding there, the venue is gorgeous inside and outside. The venue is decorate wonderful. Sandy did the wedding flowers and they were beautiful. The ques...
t loved the day
This venue is just breath taking! The workmanship that went in to the wood work is impeccable. I love the spacious lay out that also includes a bridal suite. The out door seating a...
nd landscaping is beautiful. The private parking and multiple doors will really help is concealing the bride for her entrance. The land is well kept and when we visited the fist time it was sunset, her horses were out and there were several deer grazing. I knew in that moment "this was it!" You truly get a magical feeling from this venue. I am looking forward to working with Sandy to achieve our dream wedding this June.
My daughter recently had her wedding at Silver Creek Stables, December 2018. Everything went very smoothly. the barn is beautifully decorated already, so we just had to do the ta...
ble centerpieces. Sandy was down to help us decorate and came down to help us clean up. I had no issues whatsoever with her. I thoroughly followed the contract, sending emails of the vendors and followed up with Sandy to make sure she did in fact receive all of them. After reading some of the reviews, I would say I did panic a bit, but we had absolutely nothing but positive vibes from her. My experience is, you treat people how you want to be treated. It made the joy of decorating so much easier. We had many compliments from our guest on how gorgeous and unique Silver Creek Stable was. It was a beautiful day and we will remember it for years to come.
Venue is beautiful all on its own, but decorated its stunning. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding.
This venue is absolutely gorgeous and the owner was very accommodating throughout the entire process! She met with us several times and called if she had any questions to make sure...
she had the details just right. I can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else! Thank you for such a beautiful location to host our special day!
I just recently held my wedding reception at silver creek stables and have absolutely no complaints! The owner, Sandy, was incredibly sweet and offered advice, as well as provided ...
tons of beautiful fresh flowers surrounding the barn. The barn was absolutely gorgeous and guests raved about the venue the entire evening. Everything from the tables to the photo station were set up as we requested and sandy even lent a hand helping us set up and tear down at the end of the night! She was incredibly accommodating and it was truly the perfect venue. I have no regrets!!
My son and daughter in law had their reception there last weekend. It is an absolutely beautiful venue. Everyone just loved it. Sandy was so helpful setting things up and asking...
about flowers to display around the barn. Sandy was also very helpful to the bride and her mother in making their day very special. Highly recommend Sandy and this venue.
I'm writing a review early as I'm going through my planning process - Our wedding date is 9/15/18. So far Sandy has been wonderful through it all! She has answered any questions we...
have had right away! She has also allowed my fiance and I to come to the barn more than once to take pictures and get a better feel for it because the first time we looked at it and then booked, it was in the winter (no flowers planted, no leaves on the trees, etc.) We wanted to come back in the fall since were getting married here next fall. It was great to see the place to get a better idea of how it will look. You can tell she has worked SO hard at fixing it up. I get everyone has their own first experience and I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant when meeting her due to the reviews I've read on here. I am so glad we took the chance and wanted our own first experience. All I have to say is, don't base it off of what you read. As long as you are straight forward with Sandy - She will do the same for you! Thank you Sandy for ALL of your help so far. We are looking forward to our wedding here at your venue!!! - Michelle
When I saw Silver Creek in The Knot I knew it was the place for me. When we arrived on the venue I was sure it was our place to get married at. I’m a country/city girl who always...
wanted to get married in a venue like this! The barn is absolutely stunning along with the many photo opportunities that this venue provides. The owner, Sandy, is so sweet and has a keen eye for detail. Her venue includes, in her price, 73 acres of beauty, horses, floral arrangements for your tables and the venue, linen table clothes, assistance in setup, mood lighting, a large bridal suite with a separate entrance, large parking area and an unbeatable price of $5300. We are also able to rent the Friday before for our wedding rehearsal at a minimal fee of $350. This venue is hard to top and we are excited to have booked with Silver Creek!
This wonder venue and reception locations offers more than a dream wedding can offer. It has a fully functional indoor and out door ceremony location that offers many different opt...
ions to create a dream wedding. It also comes with an amazing owner of operation who is so hands on and will to help in any way she can to make this day all about you. She also offers a fully staged staff team who will help guide the day and do all the break down and set up that you need. And to top it off you are given a lesson to ride in on your big day on a horse back to give you a wow factor. I am truly blessed to share this amazing moment in my life with such an amazing business owner and amazing venue.
Silver Creek is, in my opinion, the best “Chic Barn” venue in the Ohio tri-state area. The facility is very new, the wood work is out of this world, the personal attention and sta...
te of the art amenities makes this the venue of choice ! The owner and staff provide a extremely family oriented
atmosphere and the owners eye for detail is outstanding.
I loved this venue and the owner was amazing! I think that's what sold the place for my best friend and I. She is not like any other venue owner you will ever meet because she is a...
full time farmer, and has many other businesses as well. She is not "uppity" by any means, she is down to earth and the sweetest lady you will ever meet! People don't like her because she might not wear a full face of makeup or wear heels when she's meeting with you but you have to remember she is a full time FARMER! Her venue is the definition of country and if you are looking for someone to show up all glammed up to meet you, then you aren't looking for a barn wedding!
This venue is beautiful. We had a awesome time! I highly recommend it to all
Silver Creek Stables is beautiful! That Post and Beam barn is amazing. Anyone who writes a review on this lady's venue is just twisted. OMG we had our wedding there and Sandy load...
s the place with flowers from her green house. No other venue does that! The flowers are stunning. She brings horses to the wedding for us to be photographed with and .... all of our guests! All of this and No extra charge. I know from working with Sandy that she truly wants everyone to enjoy the property and have a great time. I understand that when someone spends so much time to write a bad review they are on a mission to destroy business most likely other venues.So I am telling you first hand I had the most beautiful wedding ever with so much included and more than any other venue had to offer. Great job Sandy you have my 5 star vote!
Beautiful Venue! Beautiful Setting! Loved it and I am getting married here!
Stunning venue and the owner and staff were really nice . They helped us all the way thru our wedding. We had a great relaxing time. Everything went smooth and was so pretty! She a...
llowed our dog to be in the wedding at the venue which was so important to me! I highly recommend this venue!
Beautiful Venue, Rapacious Owner
In Short:
The lack of professionalism exhibited by the owner of this venue can be observed within her comments to the reviews listed above. Please...
read these comments and know you will be treated in the same manner at some point during your interactions with her, if you choose to have your wedding at this venue. The beauty of this venue falls short of the emotional toll inflicted by the owner. Do not book this venue, no matter how nice she may seem at the time of your first visit. She will promise accommodations beyond the contract and she will say that she and her staff are flexible, but once she has your money she will recant all promises and drudge up absurd stipulations while refusing to do anything not listed in the very amateur contract she provides. If you try to hold her to her word, she may even get hostile and threatening as she did numerous times with my wife, my mother-in-law, and multiple members of my wedding party.
Our Story:
While the venue was not-yet constructed, the owner (Sandy) was one of the nicest and accommodating women we had ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She even promised to be more accommodating and take care of things not mentioned in the contract. 6 weeks before our wedding day, everything changed. We contacted Sandy a total of 6 times over the course of 3 weeks to confirm her availability the day before our wedding with no response until 17 days before our wedding. When Sandy responded, she spent an entire hour verbally attacking my wife over the phone. She told us that she had never promised us anything outside the contract. And although she had not contacted us nor had she attempted to return our emails/calls during the 3.5 week period prior to the phone call, she berated my wife for not submitting various items of paperwork and the $500 security deposit (she increased the security deposit amount, contrary to the $250 deposit listed in the contract). She vehemently bombarded my wife with insults, including very degrading, offensive language and threats. During this phone call my wife was maligned to the point of tears; at which point Sandy scoffed and said, "oh please, learn how to grow up. Crying won't get you anywhere in life." These words are quoted verbatim, because we were so assaulted that we will never forget the sound of Sandy saying them as long as we can even remember our own wedding day. We submitted everything 14 days before our wedding. Again, without a response from Sandy, we assumed all of her requirements were met by us. Until 5 days before wedding, when we emailed the itinerary detailing the events occurring on the day before and the day of our wedding. Directly following our email, Sandy called both the caterer and the DJs for the first time in 9 months since we signed the contract. She contacted them directly and aggressively, lacking all professionalism. We met with Sandy once more and she told my wife that she was a horrible bride, that our marriage wouldnt last, and even said "you won't make a beautiful bride." Even through the wedding day, Sandy took every opportunity to make snide comments to anyone that was a part of my wedding. We all tried to be as nice and mannered as possible, but every interaction with Sandy was unpleasant. Lastly: doing no damage to the building, Sandy withheld our $500 security deposit and continues to threaten to sue us.
I was a guest here at a wedding and it was beautiful. The owner helped us set up the morning before and was so willing to help do whatever was needed. Unfortunately women in my fam...
ily as you see in the review below are simply haters. Which is why I felt compelled to write this followup review. Not only did the owner give the bride a substantial discount to help with her wedding, she washed 200 dishes and 400 pieces of silverware so we could all stay in attendance of our party. The women in my family have no class in including the bride who was rude to us all. I spoke with the owner to apologize for their behavior and she simply said "some are ungrateful and cannot see what others do for them." I would fully rate this venue with 5 stars and recommend it to all. The venue has so much to offer, and staff is courtesy even when the women in my family were much less than that.
Loved it! As soon as we walked thru the door, I knew this was it! The barn is so pretty and the rooms are so elegant. We are so happy to have booked our date. This place offers so ...
much more than others. I highly recommend you check it out!
I've left my previous review in quotes below. This is the woman that I thought Sandy was before she decided to go back on all of her promises. She was one of the nicest women at th...
e start, then turned into one of the meanest and cruelest women once she had our money. My husband and I dismissed the few bad reviews on her page because we thought those people were overreacting, but it turned out to be our biggest regret to-date. I was extremely hurt by all of the nasty names she called me, the comments she made, and the threats she gave. Sandy completely changed her demeanor, more than I could have imagined from someone who seemed so nice. I went through so much stress and anxiety just to have a wedding at Silver Creek Stables and I will recommend against it to all of my friends and family for as long as Sandy is in charge.
February, 2017: "Sandy is just amazing. She has been wonderful to work with! The barn is beautiful and I cannot wait to have my wedding here in May. Sandy has put her whole heart and soul into this venue. She makes you feel like family from the moment you meet her. This venue is worth the drive because its absolutely incredible."
We love this venue. The barn is spectacular! We want to share our thoughts after visiting a few others. This barn just has it all and they really get it. Like they know what brides...
are looking for. The chandeliers are covered in crystals just like we wanted. And the smell of the new wood smells so good! My fiancé loves the the loft and grand staircase is stunning. I love the large dressing rooms! If your Looking for an all wood elegant barn, you must see this one. The setting is beautiful.
We love this place! If you are wanting a beautiful barn wedding, this is it! Everything we were looking for and more.
Just booked our wedding date at Silver Creek Stables and we couldn't be happier! Sandy seems willing to do anything to make our wedding night special and everything we dreamed of! ...
So excited for the final touches to be done. Absolutely beautiful!
My fiancé and I drove an hour to tour the venue for a scheduled appointment. The barn is nearly complete and was already very beautiful and sure to be spectacular when completed. U...
nfortunately after waiting 40 minutes for the owner, calling, asking a worker to call her, and knocking on her home door to no avail we left. She called shortly after we left and we were too disappointed to even answer.
She left us a voicemail explaining that she got behind on an errand but this only came after we left. She did not think to call us to let us know she was running late or even answer when we called. All I can conclude is that she must have forgotten the appointment.
Further she did not apologize for her actions. She stated she was "sorry we missed each other," as if it was somehow partially our fault.
Very disappointed. Would suggest hiring someone to handle customer service that is more organized.
As the mother of a bride I booked my daughters wedding and bridal shower here today. I fell in love with the venue and the grounds. I looked at several venues before I chose this o...
ne and Silver Creek Stables new venue has everything I wanted for my daughters wedding. Also I want to add that the owner Sandy was very nice and accommodating to all of our special requests. The land is gorgeous and I can already picture my daughters beautiful outdoor wedding here this Fall.
So excited!!! We booked our wedding here today.
The venue is absolutely beautiful. The location is perfect right between Wilmington and Xenia with nice hotels just minutes away. T...
he design of this elegant venue they are building is just what I was looking for. The owner was helpful and described each and every detail to come. I highly recommend this venue!
My fiancé and I stopped in here today, we are looking to book our wedding and were skeptical after I read a few of the reviews. So the barn is under construction, roads are underwa...
y and the area was beautiful. We spoke to the builders, and we met Sandy on the grounds working and she was cool with us dropping in. She showed us around the barn, she told us her ideas and whats to happen in the next few weeks. What we like is that it has this beautiful open space with the horses and the wood fences. The grounds were all groomed and well kept. My opinion is that, the mean reviews are written by another venue. Because the lady I met with was really nice and it appears someone just wants to slam this nice ladies new business.
Just booked my wedding at this beautiful location. I am so excited! This venue has everything I am looking for! I wanted a true country wedding. Now I will have the shabby chic co...
untry wedding I have always dreamed of. Thank you Sandy, we are looking forward to working with you and celebrating our big day!
We love this place! Beautiful location, the best I have seen yet. Not like others that are trying to create the barn experience in cities. This is the real deal and they will be b...
ooked solid when done. We can't wait to see the finished barn.
As a parent I'm really looking forward to having the wedding at this venue.
Had a nice tour and look forward to seeing construction complete.
Venue is close to the city, but the co...
untry atmosphere and scenery is spectacular.
Will revisit the Four Star rating as we get closer to the event.
This review is in regards to our experience at Silver Creek Stables in Xenia, Ohio from the morning of Tuesday December 22. My fiance and I, as well as my father and my fiance's mo...
ther, arrived to our scheduled showing 10 minutes early to be greeted by the owner of the venue. She immediately drove down to meet me, only to explain she didn't have us on her schedule. She was extremely rude and instantly blamed the miscommunication on my fiance and I. My fiance and I are originally from the area, but currently live out of state and were home for the Christmas holiday. We were very excited to be looking for a venue in the Dayton area. I had called her 1 week prior to set up our meeting and we had agreed to a time the following Tuesday morning. Once we arrived she blamed me for not following up on the call with her with an email to confirm the appointment, which we were completely unaware that an email was part of her protocol for setting up an appointment. She also proceeded to insult my fiance saying that "young brides to be can not be trusted to keep a schedule." She took zero accountability for the miscommunication and continued to be rude and unprofessional. Once this confusion was somewhat situated she said, "Well I guess I can still show you around a little bit, but all the pictures of the venue are online and you should just look there if you are interested." If that was the case, she should have stated that in the initial phone call. My fiance and I exchanged a confused look and she then just blurted out, "FINE WE ARE JUST GOING TO CANCEL THIS MEETING, YOU TWO CLEARLY ARE NOT HAPPY!" During the visit we were both taken aback by how she acted towards us, especially since this was only our third venue we had looked at and were very new to the whole situation. The entire time we were there the owner insulted us, was unprofessional, and extremely rude.
Sandy has been a wonder to work with! Very accommodating, a great help planning, and willing to consider your suggestions. She is very ambitious and has an amazing vision as to w...
hat her venue can grow into and the potential it has. The accessibility of the venue coupled with the privacy is just ideal. There are plenty of spots for photo ops and the scenery is just great. We are very excited to have our wedding at Silver Creek Stables and would suggest it to everyone!
