If there was ONE thing we could convey to someone looking for a venue it would be that Emily at Sunflower hill made our wedding the easiest, and most stress-free experience I have ...ever been a part of. We have been involved in several wedding and Sunflower hill wins by a mile. Having so many decorative options included in the price offers a great value as well. Emily is an extremely effective communicator and reached out to us multiple times throughout the process asking for details, or giving updates. Every time we contacted her she always responded quickly as well. The wedding venue itself was fantastic. You can tell that Emily takes great pride in the aesthetic of the grounds, and did a fantastic job with all the small details. The landscaping is meticulously cared for, and she transitioned from summer flowers, to a fall aesthetic seamlessly and made our fall wedding gorgeous.
///I'll elaborate below for people that may be on the fence. Emily was so amazing to work with we felt that we owe her a proper review. The formatting for the review system on the knot is horrendous, so I will make an attempt to make this long review readable.///
***Stress Reduction***
This is the part of working with Emily that we cannot get over. It is the thing that everyone in our wedding party and anyone who helped us set-up/breakdown talks about. Emily has a pull barn of items to use as center pieces. She has the tables, table cloths, runner, antlers, lanterns, tree biscuits, decorative boxes for cards, easels for signs, and dozens of things that you will personally not have to bring. This adds so much value and covenience, as now you don't have to purchase all these items you'll never use again. After going in for a consultation, and choosing your aesthetic she will put together all of the tables, set up all of the centerpieces and arrange them how you want. The morning of the wedding we showed up with the wedding party to set up, but 99% of everything was already done exactly the way we had talked about. Normally we would expect to set up for a couple hours, while juggling the other vendors that need help. But having this already set up for us, was a massive help. It allowed us to focus on getting ready, feeling comfortable, and enjoying the day. In total, we spent less than an hour setting up and breaking down our wedding. And it was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We cannot convey enough how EASY Emily makes your wedding day/night.
***The Grounds:***
It is easy to tell that Emily enjoys what she does. The time and dedication taken to offer multiple different aesthetics depending on where you are on the property is obvious. It offers several unique opportunities for your photographer to choose from to help get photos that fit any wedding color scheme. Our wedding was in the fall, and while the summer colors had since faded. Emily did not disappoint with a transition to a fall theme. The reception hall itself comes with a barn-style aesthetic with little to no extra decoration required. It has two brand new bathrooms, and it also offers a kitchen area with coolers included for your bartenders to work from. The on-grounds house, is well maintained and refurbished. It was the perfect spot to get ready, and should you decide to rent it Friday it is comfortable and accommodating for the wedding party.
